If you’re looking for a way to improve your focus, lose weight, or develop more positive habits, subliminal affirmations are a great choice. They can help you achieve your goals without much effort.
The premise underlying subliminal suggestion–that you can accomplish whatever you want in life simply by repeating suggestions on tape–is almost irresistible. But is it really effective?
1. Recording
Subliminal stimuli are audio or visual stimuli that are below an individual’s threshold for conscious perception. They can be flashed quickly before an individual can process them, or they may be masked to interrupt processing.
For instance, a 2012 review of fMRI studies found that subliminal visual stimuli activate specific regions of the brain despite participants’ unawareness.
Subliminal images are typically presented as natural images embedded in another image, or they can be masked by a distracting or novel stimulus. In one study, researchers subliminally exposed rhesus macaques to natural images while recording from primary visual cortex. They then performed an orientation discrimination task. During this task, animals were able to identify the orientation of the embedded natural image much better than when they were presented with the natural image alone.
2. Editing
Using free software such as Audacity and an external microphone you can quickly make a decent subliminal message track. The best part is that it’s all in your control.
A simple list of suggestions or affirmations works well and can be easily adapted to suit your needs. If you want to do something a bit more impressive then a layered subliminal message track with music is the way to go.
One of the most important parts is making the track as smooth as possible. This will reduce the chances of your subconscious mind picking up on pauses and errors when listening to it over and over again.
3. Speeding up
Subliminals can be sped up as much as 100X their original speed. This is done with many different tools available online, such as Audacity and Adobe Premiere.
The reason that you want to speed up the subliminal is to make it easier for your subconscious mind to pick it up. This can be a great way to enhance the effects of your subliminal and get better results.
In order to do this, you need a good software program and some knowledge of what is possible with the tool. The good news is that there are many out there and they are completely free to use! So go ahead and give it a try! You will be amazed at how effective it can be. It may take a little while for the changes to show, but don’t give up!
4. Repetition
Often, our limiting beliefs and negative thoughts become embedded in our consciousness, preventing us from making significant progress. These patterns may be keeping you from manifesting a promotion, starting your own business, dating a better-suited person, having the money to make the changes you want or even feeling confident and secure in yourself.
Our egos are very powerful and can easily inject a sense of fear into our efforts to change our lives. Subliminal messages bypass this barrier, promoting fast and long-lasting transformation.
To ensure the greatest results, it is important to repeat your affirmations or commands multiple times. This will help you to train your subconscious mind to absorb new beliefs without consciously thinking about them.
5. Mixing
To make sure your recording sounds great you can use different mixing techniques. You can slow down the whole audio file, change the pitch and even add a little bit of music or ambient sound on top to make it sound even more powerful.
To do this you’ll need some free software like Audacity which is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Once installed you can record and edit your subliminal messages, then export them as an audio file.
Before recording, you’ll want to create a list of suggestions and affirmations that you want to include in your audio. It’s a good idea to read these out loud several times so you can catch any words that don’t make sense or anything that could need amending.
