In addition, because of the latest technologies, people are virtually unaware that they are constantly being bombarded with subliminal messages. If you are being hampered by deep-seated behaviors, habits, and beliefs, you will need to bypass the conscious mind and effect change by directing reprogramming through the subconscious mind. This can be accomplished through hypnosis and subliminal messages. Hypnosis has long been used as a form of psychiatric treatment.
The procedure basically involves putting a person in a deep trance and then directly reprogramming their mind with suggestions or messages. Therapists have done hypnosis on patients to treat them of bad habits, such as smoking and drug abuse. Other therapists have used hypnosis to treat various forms of phobias and help in pain alleviation especially in patients with cancer.
The good news is that you can do hypnosis on yourself using hypnosis audios. Hypnosis audios work like subliminal audios except that you need to have enough time to do it, and need to go into the trance-like state to weaken your conscious mind. In one study, conducted by Princeton University researchers in , the word "thirsty" was added to 12 frames of an episode of "The Simpsons," and the image of a Coca-Cola can to another 12 frames.
Afterward, audience members reported they were 27 percent thirstier after the show than before. Those in the control group? They said they were actually a little less thirsty [source: Locke ]. In , researchers at the Netherlands' Utrecht University and Radboud University were able to get subjects to select Lipton iced tea as their drink of choice after those words flashed by,although this positive result only occurred in those who were already thirsty [source: Locke ]. British researchers conducted a two-week experiment where French or German music was played in the wine section of a large supermarket.
On the days when French music was played, 77 percent of customers bought French wine. On German-music days, the majority purchased German wine [source: Lindstrom ]. Yet despite these seemingly positive results, subliminal advertising is still seen as largely ineffective. That's because even when it's successful, it's not clear how long the results last. Maybe you'll reach for a Coke within 10 minutes of seeing a subliminal ad, but will you continue to do so the next day, week or month?
Further, some researchers caution that such messages only nudge us to do something we're predisposed to do already. They don't totally change our minds. Basically, they do the same thing but use different methods to achieve the results. A subliminal and a self-hypnosis program basically do the same thing.
Both place you in a state of mind where your subconscious mind is open and receives affirmations. A self-hypnosis audio starts out with the hypnotherapist talking and guiding you into a relaxed state.
Once you are in the proper state of mind it proceeds with your affirmations. A subliminal has no voice commands or affirmations that you can hear. It too will place you in the proper state of mind where your subconscious is open and very susceptible to affirmations. Most of them, like ours, use binaural beats to alter your brain waves just like a hypnotist would.
This places you in a proper state of mind where you are very relaxed and open. While they both achieve the same results, self-hypnosis requires you to actively participate at the beginning going through the process of relaxing guided by the hypnotherapist on the recording.
A subliminal on the other hand is usually just a relaxing background of water sounds, nature sounds, perhaps relaxing music. As you listen you will automatically go into the right frame of mind and become open to the positive affirmations on the audio.
The positive affirmations are not heard by your conscious mind. They are silent and recorded in the background. Your subconscious mind will still hear them and absorb them even though your conscious mind cannot make them out. Subliminals are better for sleeping or any other time during the day when you need to be doing something else while listening.
They are not distracting. You do not have to participate, just listen and the sublimnal will do the work. The difference between your unconscious and a subliminal are completely different things. The unconscious part of your mind controls things like your breathing, maintaining body temperature, regulating your heart rate, and other important bodily functions.
These are controlled by the unconscious part of your mind which operates automatically. A subliminal is media, whether visual or audio, used to alter the beliefs that are in your subconscious mind not your unconscious mind. While we covered this in another article I will quickly go over it again. Subliminal and positive affirmations are basically the same thing. Subliminals are silent you will not hear them but your subconscious mind will pick them up and automatically accept them since they bypass your conscious reasoning mind.
