If for example you want to lose weight and have failed many times then you probably have many limiting beliefs – beliefs such as “I will never be slim / My metabolism is just naturally slow /I am just not capable of losing weight and keeping it off” – you may not be even fully aware of these beliefs, or you may even deny them, but somewhere you will have some beliefs like this DEEP within your subconscious mind whih are holding you back. Hypnosis works by altering your deeper mind and swapping these beliefs for beneficial ones to help you in various areas of your life (depending upon the CD) – losing weight, improving confidence, memory etc etc for example.

Subliminal learning it is just a milder type of hypnosis. It works on the same principal in that it of accesses the subconscious mind and changes behavior and the negative thought patterns which hold you back in life. However there are several differences and pros and cons of each method:

• Hypnosis can be very powerful, just one session with a qualified professional may be all it takes to change your behaviour forever. Subliminal CDs should be played every day, at least for the first 1-2 weeks – the effects are more gradual
• Hypnosis can be expensive, especially for a highly trained hypnotist. Subliminal CDs are cheap and easy to get hold of.
• Hypnosis requires that you go into a deep trance like state. Subliminal Cds can be used at any time during the day -while relaxing, or doing any activity.
• Depending both upon your state of mind and the skill of the hypnotist you may need to “get used to” hypnosis first so that you can “learn” to go deeper and receive full benefit. Subliminal CDs don’t put you into a deep trance, but you still receive the messages to your unconscious mind.

Many people use subliminal messages as a simple alternative to hypnosis, however there is no best method to use, it depends upon your beliefs, circumstances, the nature of the change you want to make, and your personal preferences. Subliminal hypnosis CDs can even be a great compliment to any hypnosis session you have – they will enforce any changes you are making, and promote the behavior you want to adopt.
