What Are Subliminal Messages?
I'm sure you have heard of 'subliminal advertising', where businesses have implanted an idea in your head so you will buy something from them. They might not have said “buy my product” directly, but their words, or their images and sounds evokes a feeling within you that makes you want to try their items.
Subliminal messages are a indirect method of embedding thoughts, feelings, words and actions within the subconscious mind, at a deep level associated with change. Subliminal messages are usually messages that have been masked by music, brainwave entrainment technology, and other auditory devices, so the “conscious” mind cannot actually hear them.
When words are spoken to your conscious mind, you hear them, but they don't directly elicit change. If someone says to you, “Change your eating habits”, you aren't going to start making salads everyday and drink only water. Direct words to the conscious mind does not hold any power or wait when it comes to lasting change, because your subconscious mind still holds the beliefs and ideas that what you are currently doing is OK for you.
Your subconscious mind is constantly playing the same recording, over and over again. For example, if someone again tells you to change your eating habits, your subconscious mind doesn't hear this, because it keeps playing that recording that says, “It's OK to eat this way” or “Eating this way gives me comfort” or “I feel safe with my eating habits”, etc.
Research suggests that our subconscious minds run every part of of our lives, most of the time. Every time you touch something, turn on the light switch, or slap an unruly soap opera star, you are running off the programs currently running within your subconscious mind. Every reflex isn't thought out consciously and considered, because it is learned and deeply ingrained within your mind.
Now the reason why I think subliminal messages hold so much power is because it talks directly to the subconscious, and the subconscious talks back. When messages are played at a low frequency, so low that you cannot consciously hear them, the subconscious mind reacts and takes note. It hears the messages, and, on continued listening, it starts to “learn” these messages.
In order to create change within your mind and life, you first need to evaluate the workings of your inner, subconscious mind, and the messages you are giving yourself everyday.
If you have insecurity, it is probably due to the fact that the messages and recordings in your subconscious mind are entirely negative and self-limitating. Where those messages come from is a different story, and the best way to discover that is through hypnosis. But to actually change or replace those messages, so you can have self-confidence, is to change the messages your subconscious mind is currently feeding you.
Subliminal messages focus in on your inner awareness, and embed messages at the deepest level to facilitate change within one's life. Many people find the topic of subliminal power fascinating, as do I; however, I find it much more powerful when combined with hypnosis. What's the point of embedding new thoughts and beliefs without first understanding why they were there in the first place? That way, under hypnosis, you can release and let go of those beliefs, so you can make room for the new, empowering beliefs that will set you on a journey or self-discovery and power.
Subliminal messages are not a quick fix, however, as many people don't start experiencing change until about 60-90 days of listening. However, those who are serious and committed to changing their life are glad to put in the time and effort, so that they can truly live the life they have always wanted.
