Subliminal messages are nothing new, they have been a buzz word since the 1950s with the early expiriments into subliminal messaging and its effect on the human mind, and of course the potential of subliminal advertising to influence buying behaviour.

However for many years their use was limited. This was party due to technology, or lack of, and the expense and difficulty of acquiring these cds rather than the overtly popular and available hypnosis CDs on the market.

Mostly people were simply skeptical. People couldn’t believe that something you can’t hear could influence your mind, and your behaviour – for the better. However with the growth of media and celebrity interest in subliminal cds. Celebrities such as Anthony Robbins, Stephen Speilberg, and even golfer Tiger Woods.

People began to try subliminal messaging out for themselves, and gradually word spread about their effectiveness. Recommendations were given, and slowly the subliminal phenomenon has started to spread like wild fire.

It is not only the increased confidence in subliminals which has helped their rise to fame – it is the unique way in which they work and the advantages they hold over some other methods of personal development, advantages such as:

• Their confidentiality. They can be used to overcome issues which you may be embarrassed or self-conscious about. Any issue that people may be shy to ask a doctor, or especially their friends for help about.
• They are easily obtainable. Subliminal CDs are everywhere now, you can download them online, and order them, often receiving them to your door within a few days worldwide.
• No deep trance is needed. Unlike hypnosis you don’t need to enter a deep trance like state – in fact subliminal cds can be listened to at any time of the day and you will keep your level of concentration and alertness.
• Flexible Use. As you don’t need to be in a trance you can listen while doing other things. Exercising, working, reading, even watching tv.

So with so many benefits of subliminal messages, and so many ways they can be used it is no wonder they are rising in popularity. Have you tried them yet?

In the beginning there was the word and the words make for beliefs. What you tell yourself is what you feel and do. Have you listened to your inner voice lately? The inner monologue we constnatly hear in our heads is an essential part of our thought structure just as our internal vision is equally essential.What do you say to yourself? Do you use good words? What tone of voice is it? Is it loud or soft? Positive or negative? What theme do you stress?

My inner voice is different dependant upon the situation I am in. Under most circumstances I am not aware of it but as I type this on my word processor I can ‘hear’ the words slowly and clearly in my head just a split second before I strike the keys. Try this thought experiment!:

Recall to mind a time when you ‘lost’ something personal and important, your wallet for example. This is an experience we can all relate to. You pat all of your pockets, turn your handbag upside down and empty it. Look through your laundry basket looking for the clothes you wore yesterday. When did you use your credit card last? Sharp intake of breathe? ‘Did I leave it in the cash machine’?

Think about the words you hear Inside your head. Are they soft or loud voices, are they critical or comforting? It’s usually right for our inner voice to simply echo our current situation / whatever we are saying / reading but even then the words still come from our core self beliefs. But wait a moment:

If I change the inner voice messages I can change the beliefs that underpin them and the behaviour that flows from them. This is a truly astounding thing about our human consciousness. Use subliminal messages on CD or MP3 and change your inner dialogue to a script that is both positive and helpful. Imagine talking your-self into a fantastic and positive state of mind, a healthy lifestyle, or even imagine yourself speaking fluently in another language.
