Does Subliminal Messaging Work?

You know, if I had a dollar every time someone asked me whether subliminal messages works, I’d be a rich man...

There’s so much confusion and misleading information out there that it’s difficult to find out whether subliminal messages actually work or not.

Personally, from my own experience (and that of my wife and friends), they do.

However, different people experience different results with subliminal message products. So, it’s important that you take note of a couple of pointers if you’re considering using subliminal products.

So, to give you all the facts and a complete picture, I’m going to do a couple of things.

First, I’m going to discuss the scientific studies and research on subliminal messages. Then, I’m going to discuss my experiences with subliminal messages. This way, you’ll get the complete picture and at by the end of this article, you’ll discover a Never-Before Revealed FACT on subliminal messages.

What the Scientific Studies Show

When I was researching for scientific studies and proof that subliminal messages works, I discovered that there’s no consensus within the scientific community on subliminal messaging.

Half of the scientific community believes that subliminal perception exists and that it’s possible to influence your behavior and attitude using subliminal messages. There are numerous studies and academic research proving that subliminal messaging does work. Here’s another link to a paper by Cornell University investigating subliminal perception. (However, I gotta warn you. It’s quite technical…)

However, the other half of the scientific community doesn’t believe that subliminal messaging works. Even if there was any effect, many of these researchers consider it as a placebo effect, and consistently debunk subliminal messaging products.

Part of the problem is that subliminal messages are a very controversial topic. Furthermore, few people actually understand how they work. This leads to unrealistic expectations of what should happen when you listen to subliminal messages.

Subliminal messages take time to show results, especially the more ambitious ones. So, it can be sometimes difficult to see results, especially if the studies or experiments are conducted over a short period.

My Personal Experience with Subliminal Messaging

After listening to various subliminal messaging programs, it’s quite clear to me that subliminal messages work.

Let me share with you what I experienced.

I first started out listening to a subliminal audio tape on "Total Concentration" at work. After a couple of weeks, I noticed that I was able to focus and concentrate much more intensely than before.

I mean, it was like as if I was in a zone whenever I started doing some work and needed to fully concentrate on the job.

I also tried playing out another subliminal audio tape, "Stop Procrastination" during my sleep. Interestingly, this had different results on my wife, Caitlin, and I.

During the first few days, Caitlin complained that she didn’t get a good night’s sleep and she had this feeling of wanting to get up and do something, even in her sleep. It was like a little nagging voice telling her that she should be doing something and not put things off.

On the other hand, the "Stop Procrastination" subliminal tape had very little effect on me. I didn’t notice anything at all. And when I played other subliminal audio tapes, I also noticed the same effect. Both Caitlin and I would be affected differently by the same subliminal tape.

I also asked some of my friends to try listening to subliminal tapes and got similar results. For some, the results would come almost immediately, or within a couple of days. Others took a little longer to show results, and for a few, they were never affected by the subliminal messages at all.

This was when I realized the reason why it’s so difficult to come to any definitive conclusion on subliminal messaging. It was like a lightbulb suddenly came on in my head...

Never–before Revealed FACTS on Subliminal Messages

Now, you better hang on to your seats, ‘cos I’m going to share with you a never-before revealed secret on subliminal messages.

This is the first time anyone has actually explained clearly the reason why subliminal messages don’t seem to work. You won’t find this explanation on subliminal messages anywhere else on the web...

FACT : Self help subliminal messages have different results on different people, even when they’re using the same subliminal program.

Let me explain.

When I started playing the subliminal tape on "Stop Procrastination", it affected Caitlin and I differently.

Well, Caitlin has a habit of procrastinating. On the other hand, I don’t really have a problem with procrastination (well, sometimes...=P). So, naturally, when we start listening to the subliminal messages, you’d expect it to affect her a lot more than it would affect me.

And that’s exactly what happened.

The subliminal tapes had a lot more effect on Caitlin, than it did on me.

The same goes for the other subliminal audio tapes that I lent to my friends to try out. Some had better results than others, whilst others didn’t even notice anything at all, despite the fact that they were all listening to the same subliminal audio tape.

So, at the end of the day, I came to the following conclusions:

1. Yes, subliminal messages work.



2. However, subliminal messaging programs have different results on different people, even when they are listening to the same subliminal messages.

Why People React Differently to Subliminal Messaging

If you think about it, it actually makes sense.

Every one of us is a different, unique person with different personalities, thinking patterns and attitudes.

We all have different problems we want to solve and because of our different personalities and upbringing, our thinking patterns or mental blocks in our subconscious mind are all different.

Some of us may not have any issue after all, whilst others may have mental blocks or other deeper issues that need to be resolved. Therefore, it’s only natural to expect that subliminal programs to affect different people differently, even when they’re all listening to the same tape.

Got it?
