Subliminal Suggestion

Tools for Personal Development

'Subliminal programming', or more accurately 'subliminal suggestion', is simply the use of various techniques to impress information directly on the subconscious mind, without interference by other mental processes (particularly by the conscious 'critical' mind). This can be accomplished through either audible or visual stimuli. You only have to watch a TV 'mentalist' such as Derren Brown to see just how powerful subliminal stimuli can be.

Throughout our lives, we are continually subjected to all kinds of 'subconscious' influences, both accidentally and deliberately. We are not consciously aware of this material but it constantly surfaces to influence our behaviour, performance and even thoughts. Subliminal suggestion is simply a way to harness this natural in-built learning process for beneficial purposes.

How does subliminal suggestion work?

We come into this world with only a modest amount of inbuilt ('instinctive') behaviour patterns - nearly all of our behaviour in adulthood is learned (according to which culture we grow up in) in much the same way as we learn to ride a bike or tie our shoelaces. All this behavioural learning is managed by the same mental mechanism that stores the 'instructions' for bike-riding or shoelace-tying - our subconscious minds. So to change our current behavior, we must first change the information stored in the subconscious, and the key to this is the same as for any other learning experience - repetition. Anything that is repeated often enough will eventually 'over-write' previously stored information and lead to permanent behavioural modification.

The subconscious mind does not exercise 'critical' judgment, which means it does not filter any of the material it encounters. This filtering is left to the conscious mind, which reacts in various ways to incoming information about the immediate environment. The subconscious monitors the reactions of the conscious mind, and absorbs these reactions together with the original perceptions into its store of data. This means that verbal suggestions presented in any form will be changed and added to by the conscious mind, which is particularly good at attaching negative 'tags' such as 'I can't do that', 'that's not how I am', 'I cant afford that' and so on.

So to affect subconscious processes in a positive manner, i.e., without unwanted associations and emotional reactions, the conscious mind has to be 'taken out of the loop' or bypassed. This is achieved by a variety of techniques for presenting information below the level of conscious awareness, so it is perceived subconsciously without any conscious 'baggage' attached. When positive statements are implanted in this way they become a part of the subconscious 'storehouse' of information. By constant repetition while listening to our recordings, these suggestions become reinforced and so come to dominate older contradictory statements. In this way they become a part of the 'instruction set' that directs the way the subconscious mind steers your life experience.

Once it has these new directions, your subconscious mind will set about its new purpose with total dedication - to quickly and effortlessly bring you whatever you want.
