Better Than Hypnosis? Binaural Beats Create Even Better Results

Better Than Hypnosis? Binaural Beats Create Even Better Results

By Jules Gregory, Creator of Binaural Audios

Self hypnosis and the use of binaural beats sounds seek to accomplish one and the same thing. However, the approach and technique used to attain brain transformation differs in comparison.

Self hypnosis utilizes induction commands or imagery to cause the mind slip into different states of consciousness. It is also widely accepted that hypnosis requires the participant to actually submit to the suggestions of the thearpist and any resistance would make it hard, if not impossible to create the desired results or outcome.

In short, the person being hypnotised has the ability to mentally counterct the suggestions and thus choose not to enter the specific state of mind required.

Binaural beats on the other hand, involves the use of wave frequencies to access the mind. Binaural beat sound entwines with the brain frequencies to slip the mind to various conscious states.

The alternating waves frequencies from the binaural sounds gives easy access to the subconscious mind. When this is attained then affirmations are easily passed to the subconscious mind aiding it to develop into a predetermined state. The results of this act are numerous and helpful to any individual who seeks to better his/her lifestyle.

Brainwave technology and the binaural beats always operate inside the brain stem itself without assistance in any way, shape or form. On the other hand, hypnosis training first needs assistance usually in the form of a therapist whose ultimate goal is to gain access to the very same area of the brain by way of manipulation in the form of a trance.

The brain emits an electrical charge between its cells, the neurons, in response to an outward stimulus of the senses, whether the ears, eyes, or other senses. The response is called a cortical evoked response. The electrical bursts throughout your brain determine how, and what, you see and hear. These electrical bursts can be measured by connecting electrodes to the scalp.

If the stimulus is rhythmic, such as music, the rhythm is produced in the brain as electrical impulses. If the rhythm becomes consistent and fast enough it resembles the natural brainwaves. The brain then responds by synchronizing its own pulses to the beat of the music. This response is called Frequency Following Response.

Brainwave synchronization, also called brainwave entrainment, is a naturally occurring response where similar frequencies tend to synchronize with each other. Entrainment is a principle of physics. This frequency following response appears in chemistry, neurology, astronomy, pharmacology, and biology.

For example in 1656, a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens, was working on the design of the pendulum clock. He found that if he put two unsynchronized clocks side by side they would slowly synchronize to each other.

Another example is that if a tuning fork which produces a frequency of 500 Hz is struck causing it to vibrate if it is brought near another 500Hz tuning fork, the second fork will begin to vibrate as well. The first fork is said to have entrained the second fork.

While the discovery of brainwaves may be recent, brain entrainment has gone on socially for ages by tribal chanting, drum beats, and dancing.

Intentionally changing the level of brainwaves through entrainment has a number of benefits. If a person has sleeping disorders, entraining their brain leads to relaxation. A state of mediation can be attained more quickly if the brain is entrained to the Alpha state. The Alpha state is very receptive to learning. When a subject is successfully hypnotized they usually are in the Alpha state. Breaking bad habits and starting new habits in their place will be more successful if the Alpha state is used to promote the new habit.

Exceptional performers have been monitored, and it has been found that certain brainwave frequencies and states are associated with high performance in certain tasks. By comparing these results, we know the exact frequencies of brainwave activity that are present when geniuses such as Einstein and Edison conceived amazing new ideas, when artists such as Da Vinci and Picasso painted brilliant art and when grand masters such as Bobby Fischer mentally play out a chess game 8 moves ahead.

With the advent of instantly downloadable brainwave entrainment audios, we are now able to fast track this process and tailor our personal development around our busy schedules. Pretty neat, right?

It is now possible to meditate like the most proficient monk simply by listening to an MP3 audio on your favorite player or to banish those limiting beliefs from the safety of your well worn armchair or as you drift into an effortless sleep at the end of your day.

This once space age technology that was the reserve of the wealthy, is now available to everyone who wishes to enjoy the benefits.

So what are the benefits?

It's a simple fact that binaural beats, brainwave entrainment and subliminal audios can have a profound affect on your life by re-programming your brian to accept a brand new set of beliefs and standards that will not only help you to relax, but will change the way you view what you might think is your current reality.

They promote happiness and optimism in regular users as well as a greater sense of one's self and a greater ability to think with a clearer, more open mind. I am sure you will agree that having a more open mind can only be a good thing, right?

This type of audio has been proven to lower blood pressure, stress and anxiety thus enabling you to reduce the risk of falling victim to the types of disease and illness associated with these conditions. They are also very effective at reducing the effects of other conditions such as depression.

You and I both know that the long time use of pharmaceutical drugs for pain control, might cause greater long term damage to your health, but what are the alternatives? Well, binaural audios are widely used for this very purpose because they have no adverse side affects whatsoever. Fact! The truth is, we need to find alternatives to the traditional approach to popping pills for every ache and pain we have.

Over time, you will begin to become aware of a profound change in your general attitude and your ability to deal with life's ups and downs may seem to be that bit easier. You may also notice that your personal relationships start to improve as you become a calmer, more relaxed person.

I don't know which you will find the most amazing benefit, becoming a more relaxed and happy person, or learning to cope with anything life has to throw at you with ease and confidence.

"It's not about what you are not able to do. What you need to become curious about, is what's possible."

Scientific Research of Binaural Beats

Much like western medicine brainwave entrainment works on scientific principle, research and testing. There are over 70 years of solid research behind brainwave entrainment:

Pre-1940's

* Visual (photic) brainwave entrainment was first documented in 1934. However, evidence of visual entrainment has been traced as far back as 200 AD.

1940's

* Dempsey and Morison discovered that repetitive tactile stimulation could also produce entrainment.

1950's

* Dr. Chatrian observed auditory entrainment in response to clicks at a frequency of 15 per second.

1960's

* Anesthesiologist M.S. Sadove, MD, used photic stimulation to reduce the amount of anesthesia needed for surgery.
* Andrew Neher found that rhythmic pounding dramatically altered brain wave activity.

1970's

* In Scientific American, Dr. Gerald Oster examined how combining two pure tones, which he termed Monaural Beats, resulted in a rhythmic beat which he called Binaural Beats.

1980's

* The Department of Neuropsychiatry at Osaka University Medical School in Japan found that photic stimulation produced "cerebral synchronization".
* Michael Hutchison's book MegaBrain outlines the many possible uses of entrainment, from meditation to super-learning.
* Arturo Manns published a study which indicated the amazingly strong entrainment value of Isochronic Tones, as opposed to Monaural or Binaural beats
* Dr. Brockopp analyzed audio-visual brain stimulation, and in particular hemispheric synchronization, during electroencephalogram monitoring. He said, "By inducing hemispheric coherence the machine can contribute to improved intellectual functioning of the brain."

1990's

* Drs. Russell, Carter, and others explored the vast potential of using entrainment with ADD and learning disorders.
* Research has also been conducted on the effectiveness of entrainment on PMS, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Depression, Hypertension and a number of other disorders.

Unleash the Super Powers of Your Subconscious Mind

Unleash the Super Powers of Your Subconscious Mind

By Ewen Chia, Creator of Super Mind Powers

The power of a self-fulfilling prophecy is evident every time you think positive about yourself. Your mind is a great factor of your fate in terms of health, stress, and memory.

You may not know this but the power of your subconscious mind is as important as the power of your food nutritional intake. Research proves that people who generally think positive receive better health and longer life.

First of all, your subconscious mind takes hold of your emotions. Positive emotions contribute to better body chemistry. It is likened to a vehicle with clean fuel mechanism.

Negative emotions like hate, anger, and sadness are like fuel impurities that clog the body's chemical mechanism. In turn, it affects the health. Emotions are also capable of inflicting pseudo-illnesses on the body.

Ever heard of the placebo effect? This is one great example of the power of the mind to heal the body. Placebo effect is described as an improved medical condition after a pseudo-treatment is administered to the body where the patient believes he is already healed.

I remember an episode of House MD when the Dr. Gregory House prescribed a vial of tablet candies to a man who has an imaginary headache. The man believed that the candies were medicine and was indeed healed. In reality, the man was just using his mind to cause pseudo illnesses and his subconscious is also responsible for his "recovery".

The power of your subconscious mind is not a thing to be neglected. In pregnancy, for example, wives who were supported by their husbands during delivery generally claim to feel lesser pain than those that have no emotional support with them. This proves that a tiny change in mood affects the body's tolerance of pain.

Your subconscious mind is also the keeper of memories. The subconscious is in charge of the long term memory. It is responsible for your association of meanings on things or connotation. For example, for a basketball player a ball is a source of livelihood. Non sports lover may associate a ball with shame for being one of the persons who don't know how to play the sport.

People who know how to use their subconscious mind are able to create sharper judgment on situations. Scientists explain this as the ability to use full power of the brain. If you use all the parts of the brain (speech, emotion, memory etc...) to arrive at a conclusion, the chances that it will be logical is highly possible.

We now remember Timoun and Pumbaa of the Lion King. These 2 characters are famous for their philosophy "Hakuna Matata" or "No Worries". No matter how dangerous their lives are because of lurking predators and forest hazards, they still maintain a positive outlook in life. They know that there are 2 ways to face problems: dread it or live with it. They choose to live with it because they know that problems are just a part of life and to drown life with these matters is like slowly committing suicide. The power of your subconscious mind can never be neglected and must be used to gain positive effects.

Placebo Effect !

Placebo Effect

By Lawyer Asad

Human mind is divided into an uneven portion. The conscious mind is consisting of the 15% of our mind and the subconscious mind is whooping 85% of our mind.
Conscious mind controls our motor fuctions and has a very short memory. Its rational and analyse matters before accepting those. On the other hand the subconscious mind is like a Super Computer. Storing data from even our pre-natal period. It can even record matters about which we are not conscious.
Under a hypnotic condition the subconscious mind can recall every memory registered on it. The unique phenomenon of the subconscious mind is that it can't logic or argue. It just carries out the programme which is fed into it.
The most important factor of the subconscious is that it can be re-programmed. A negative programming can be re-programmed to be a positive one.
Persons who're dealing with human mind know it.
William James, the father of American psychologist has rightfully declared that the best discovery of the 20th Century is that we can change our circumstances by the power of our mind.
Now back to the programming of the mind.
Subconscious mind is receptive of suggestions, good, bad, indifferent, every kind. When it receives a suggestion, it just carries it out without any reasoning, logic, analysis or judgment.
From our childhood we're programmed by our parents, neighbours, teachers, classmates, peers, colleagues and many other persons. Those programmings come to us in the form of criticisms, appraisals, a pat on the back. In gross those are either negative or positive. These are called suggestions. Our life is moulded by these suggestions.
A mother, disgusted by the conduct of her husband, may often remark to her son that he'd end up in the shoes of his father. The tender mind of the son receives these suggestions and mould his life accordingly.
But it is very hopeful that we can reprogramme our mind by feeding it with positive and constructive suggestions only in three weeks.
The suggestions we give to ourselves are called as auto-suggestions.
As our conscious mind is rational and originating from the left hemisphere of our brain it restricts the entry of suggestions which are seemingly irrational to it.
For example, if a person in a wretched financial conditions try to feed his mind with the thoughts of rich, abundance and wealth then his conscious mind would simply reject it as an irrational thought or lie.
Thats why we need to put ourselves in a trance where the subconscious mind becomes dormant to feed the subconscious mind. The best period for practising auto-suggestion is just before sleeping and after waking up from sleep but not leaving the bed.

Placebo effect:

Emil Coue, a French Chemist, had discovered this unique phenomenon accidentally. Once while he was in his store then one of his friends approached and asked for a drug which required prescription. But he had none. Naturally Emil Coue refused to serve him the medicine. But his friend was very perisistent and nagged for giving him the medicine as he was suffering from excruciating pain. Emil Coue had an idea. He told his friend that there's a new medicine which is as effective as the prescription drug but it doesn't require any prescription. His friend agreed to try it.
Emil Coue went inside the store packed some sugar pills and gave it to him. His friend returned after few days to report that the "new drug" acted like a magic and all his ailments are cured.
Emil Coue was stunned. Placebo was born.
He was invited by people to demonstrate the power of placebo. As the popularity started growing so it was not possible for him to appear personally to all his patients. So he invented a novel method by which any one became capable of giving him/her auto-suggestion.

"Every day and in every way things are getting better and better and I am prospering in all areas of my life."

It was the sentence which was to be recited to oneself as much time as possible. The interesting thing about this auto-suggestion is that one doesn't have to be believe in it or concentrate on it all the time while reciting. A mere mechanical recital would do the effect. And the change in circumstances would be noticable in a week or so.

Now doctors all around the world are using the placebo to cure people from ailments.
Here comes the functionality of our subconscious mind. Our mind receives the suggestions and act upon it. Even mock surgeries are being performed on patients to lead them believe that their ailments are cured by the surgery. Patients are getting cured.
Here is in a link supplied by Laura Silva, daughter of Jose Silva. In this PDF file there're testimonials of people who has been cured by the placebo.
Download it and you'll know the functionality of the placebo effect more better.

To your perpetual health and success.

Read Their Mind !

Read their Mind...
Know What They Will Decide
By Kevin Hogan, Author of Covert Hypnosis
(This is not Influence for Dummies!!)
Reading minds...the stuff of "psychics"......but it's a lot more real than I would have ever thought, even 10 years ago.

Did you know there are strong predispositions in your behavior and mine that make us surprisingly predictable...

You already do this well in some instances. Maybe you and a close friend can "finish each others sentences." You know each other so well, it seems reasonable.

But what about people you don't know?

Turns out you probably can't finish their sentences but you can predict what they will do and what they will think about you, and others. You can also come up with a pretty reliable guess at how they see themselves.

I was at a convention a few years ago and a woman gave me a psychic reading. She was remarkably accurate of course.

I told her that I had been studying a lot about it and asked her if I could give HER a psychic reading. She grinned and said "yes."

Within 10 minutes she was in tears.

I told her about the person she loved who had died. Her father. His name was James. I knew that. (Well, I really didn't...I figured it out based on questions that sounded like statements.) I told her how he died, what kind of a man he was...I told her about their relationship. "Weathered and strained at times but you really loved him."

I told her about her financial situation. I told her about her love life and her unachieved life ambitions.

She was shocked.

She told me what a gift I had.

I had no such thing.

How did I do it?
I simply understand that:

a) experiences are remarkably similar in specific contexts

b) body language shouts at observers though most are unaware as to what body language is saying.

c) people's attire speaks volumes about their income, beliefs, and life attitude

d) a bunch of other things that will make this article too long!

Today I want to show you what people are inclined to DO. ....I want to show you how you are inclined to act. Behavior. Different than thoughts. We think we want X but we buy Y. I want to show you not only what people are thinking but also what they do...

An example. If I say, pick a number from 1-10, you are inclined to say "7." The majority of people do in the English speaking culture.

If I ask you to think of a shape and say it out loud you are inclined to say "triangle." The majority of people do in the English speaking culture.

But knowing what someone is going to say or think is matched in importance by knowing what people are likely to DO. If you see what people do in given situations you can predict their behavior in future situations.

For decades each nation's military has typically been afforded the most current information about human behavior... it's helpful to know what your opponent will do, how they will respond and react...and what their next move will be.

The same is true in sales and marketing.

Some decisions to buy something are made under great "pressure." Others are decided in the absence of "pressure." Knowing what will cause someone to decide X can be pretty helpful information! Knowing WHY they decide X can change how you communicate with people forever. Knowing HOW people perceive you and the rest of the world... is downright invaluable.

Research into how people make decisions while under pressure could help the U.S. military improve training for its leaders and lead to better decision-support systems. Studies have shown that when people process information, they develop unconscious strategies – or biases – that simplify their decisions. Now, research at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is revealing how these biases affect people when they're dealing with lots of information – and little time to form conclusions.

The same research applies to all of us in all decision making situations. Watch and see what I mean as I check the "biases" that GTRI has listed as being the most "important." The examples I give are not those from GTRI but those I am giving YOU to optimize influencing others.

These are the biases (unconscious strategies) GTRI has revealed are important in decision making:
a) Absence of evidence. Missing, relevant information is not properly considered. People don't think of the part of the story you don't tell them. They only think about what is put "out there".

b) Availability. Recent events or well-known conjecture provide convenient explanations. If I read it in the paper today it's got more impact than something I read last month... If it is in THIS month's issue of the magazine or TODAY's edition of the newspaper, it means A LOT. If it's in yesterday's, the value is GREATLY diminished.

c) Oversensitivity to consistency. People give more weight to multiple reports of information, even if the data came from the same source. Repetition is VERY powerful. If people start to hear the same thing over and over again, it makes little difference where they hear it...it simply becomes... true.

d) Persistence of discredited information. Information once deemed relevant continues to influence even after it has been discredited. Someone can tell you they lied to you about where they were on a given night... but a few weeks from now, you will continue to believe they were there. Once you tell someone something, it's what they will remember, if anything. Saying later that you might have been wrong or that someone else was wrong...or that it "might not be right," simply doesn't matter.

e) Randomness. People perceive a causal relationship when two or more events share some similarity, although the events aren't related. People will believe anything. I had a guy take my seat at the blackjack table because I won $5000. You think that stool knows what cards are coming out next??? People will mistake what causes what... almost all the time.

f) Sample size. Evidence from small samples is seen as having the same significance as larger samples. People just don't have a clue as to how unimportant their own personal experience is...or the experience of a friend or a relative. The fact is that a single well-told story will convince with far greater magnitude than a computer filled with statistical PROOF of the opposite.

g) Vividness. When people perceive information directly, it has greater impact than information they receive secondhand -- even if the secondhand information has more substance. You can read it in a comic book and it has more weight than what a scientist tells you he learned at the neuroscience convention....

To test the affects of these biases, Folds had experiment subjects view an inbox on a computer screen containing a variety of text messages, maps, photographs and video and audio recordings. Subjects (the majority being Georgia Tech ROTC students) were instructed to report certain military situations, such as incidents of sniper fire or acts of suspected sabotage. They were not to report other events, such as normal accidents in an urban area unrelated to enemy activity.

To decide whether or not an event should be reported, subjects reviewed a series of messages that contained both bona fide evidence as well as information created to trigger the biases that cause poor decisions. In each trial, subjects were allowed enough time to spend an average of 20 seconds per element data plus one additional minute for reporting; they were also asked to attach information that supported their decision.

In the first experiment, all seven biases appeared with the greatest number of errors caused by vividness and over sensitivity to consistency.

In addition, Folds discovered two new biases that can hinder the quality of rapid decisions.

These are two newly discovered biases (unconscious strategies):
h) Superficial Similarity. Evidence is considered relevant because of some superficial attribute, such as a key word in a message title. For example, a hostage situation might have been reported earlier, and then another message shows up in the inbox with the word "hostage" in its header, although the message's actual content has nothing to do with hostages.

i) Sensationalist Appeal. Items containing exaggerated claims or threats influence a decision-maker even when there is no substance to the content.

Folds was surprised at how well subjects could perform the task while under pressure, he said. Although he expected an accuracy rate of about 50 percent, subjects correctly reported 70 percent of incidents.

In a second experiment, researchers divided subjects into two groups, using one as a control group while training the other group how to spot conditions that spark decision-making biases.

Subjects who received training were able to detect about twice as many "false-alarm opportunities" as the control group.

The biggest difference between the two groups involved "persistence of discredited information" and "small sample" biases. Forty-eight percent of trained subjects were able to recognize when a "persistence" bias existed compared to 18 percent of the control group. Fifty percent of trained subjects caught the "sample-size" traps versus 11 percent of the control group.

Although training helped participants recognize when traps existed, it didn't help them identify the specific bias. "When subjects were under pressure to make decisions rapidly, the distinctiveness of the categories fell apart," Folds explained. "That's significant, because it helps us tailor training efforts."

The experiments also revealed what kind of information is meaningful to decision-makers, Folds noted. Software designed especially for the trials tracks when subjects open a document for the first time and when they go back for a second time or third look. The amount of time that subjects spend reviewing data – along with the data they attach to reports showed a decided preference for text messages over other formats.

Folds' team is conducting more research: Two new sets of trials are examining how decision-making errors occur in groups, while another experiment is trying to pinpoint how rapidly individuals can make good decisions.

Subliminal suggestions work!

10 Scientific Studies That Prove Subliminals Work

Source: RealSubliminal.com

We often get asked for further evidence of subliminal messaging, and a lot of skeptical questions from people who have yet to experience subliminal messaging for themselves, so here is a page we have complied with multiple studies which have been conducted on subliminal messaging using audio based messages over the last 30+ years:

Improves Math Skills

Ariam, S. and Siller, J. "Effects of Subliminal Oneness Stimuli in Hebrew on Academic Performance of Israeli High School Students. " Journal of Abnormal Psychology (1982):

* 10th grade students were shown subliminal messages in Hebrew saying; "Mommy and I are one", "My teacher and I are one" and "People are walking in the street" (a neutral statement). The Students received the messages four times per week for 6 weeks.

* 6 weeks later, the students exposed to the subliminal statement "Mommy and I are one" scored higher in a maths exam than the other groups.

Psychologists claimed the messages such as "Mommy and I are one" would boost the students self esteem and have an effect to help them learn. Also interestingly when the messages were revealed so the students were aware of what they were receiving the effect failed, giving support to the effectiveness of sending a subliminal message rather than an overt one.

Helps to Quit Smoking

Palmatier, J.R., and Bornstein, P.H. "Effects of Subliminal Stimulation of Symbiotic Merging Fantasies on Behavioral Treatment of Smokers." The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1980):

* Thirty-four people underwent a 3-week, group-oriented smoking cessation therapy package.

* Results showed that the subliminal messages affected post-treatment smoking behavior of the group. i.e. the people who received subliminal messages after their regular therapy had a lower rate of relapse into smoking again.

A follow up study by Palmatier and Bornstein found that "subliminal messaging noticeably improved the progress of subjects attempting to quit smoking", when compared to the group not exposed to subliminal messages.

The Mind Can "Hear" Audio Subliminal Messages

Kaser, V.A. "The Effects of an Auditory Subliminal Perception Message Upon the Production of Images and Dreams". Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1986).

* Subjects listened to an audio subliminal message. The message was mixed with a regular music recording. Another group of subjects simply listened to the regular music recording without the subliminals.

* Both groups were asked to create a pre-test drawing before and immediately after the music was played as well as a drawing of any dreams they had the previous night.

* When the drawings were examined, the effects of the subliminal message could be seen.The drawings of the people who listened to the music with subliminal hidden content contained images relating to the suggestions they were listening to, whereas no correlation could be found with the control group.

* Kaser concluded that "the unconscious/subconscious mind is able to perceive a recorded verbal message that cannot be consciously heard", proving the existence of subliminal perception.

In another study conducted by Dr. Becker experimental and control groups were asked to guess a three-digit number. The experimental group was exposed to the number subliminally embedded in behind a pink noise (similar to white noise) based audio track.

In three different trials an average of 77% of people exposed to the subliminal numbers guessed correctly, in comparison to only 10% of people in the control groups who weren't exposed subliminally to the numbers. This again confirms that subliminal messages are perceived at a non-conscious level.

Losing Weight & Healthy Eating

Silverman, L.H., Martin, A., Ungaro, R., and Mendelsohn, E. "Effect of Subliminal Stimulation of Symbiotic Fantasies on Behavior Modification Treatment of Obesity." Clinical Psychology (1978):

* Silverman et al conducted two experiments on subliminal perception with groups of 26 and 30 women. The women were at least 15% overweight. There were 2 groups, a 'subliminal group' and a 'control group'. Both groups were given some education on weight loss and healthy eating i.e. how to record calories accurately, eating at regular meal times, and how to reward themselves for eating healthily.

* At the start and end of all the sessions, everyone was asked to image a situation in which they would be tempted to over eat. At this point they were exposed to a subliminal message for 4 milliseconds. Either a weight loss based subliminal message for the subliminal group or a neutral subliminal message for the control group.

* In both cases the 'subliminal group' lost more weight than the control group, with the subliminal group losing significantly more by the end of the follow up period. It was concluded that the use of subliminal messaging was able to help people reduce their over eating habits.

Another study conducted by Dr. Becker et al showed that the use of subliminal messages can have astounding results:

* In Metairie, Louisiana, at Dr. Becker's weight loss clinic his patients heard both cassette tape subliminal messages and videotapes containing subliminals.

* One woman lost 100 pounds within one year. In a follow up Dr. Becker found 50% of the patients maintained over half their weight loss for up to two years following the subliminal program. Even more impressively 23% maintained between 75% and 100% of their total weight loss. These figures were significantly better than diet programs in which he did not use subliminal messaging. subliminal messages.

We have had a lot of success stories from our weight loss series. You can use subliminal messaging to gain a higher level of success from your weight loss efforts too! Do you want to develop healthy eating habits? Try our most popular subliminal weight loss album.

Improve Study Skills

Parker, K.A. "Effects of Subliminal Symbiotic Stimulation on Academic Performance: Further Evidence on the Adaptation-Enhancing Effects of Oneness Fantasies." Journal of Counseling Psychology (1982):

* 60 college students on a summer law course for 6 weeks received subliminal messages before 3 of their 5 lectures per week, as also before and after a brief minute counseling session.

* The subjects exposed to subliminal messaging achieved significantly higher grades than the others, which were consistent with other earlier studies.

Subliminal Enhancements Boost Learning Capacity

Cook, H., Ph.D. "Effects of Subliminal Symbiotic Gratification and the Magic of Believing on Achievement." Psychoanalytic Psychology (1985):

* University students were split into groups and exposed to either to a subliminal message, or a control message immediately after class over a period of 12 sessions of 4 millisecond duration messages.

* Students who had received the subliminal messages ended up performing better in their end of year exams than students who received the control message.

* The researchers concluded that subliminally stimulating students to feel better about themselves enabled them to learn more efficiently.

Cure Agoraphobia

Lee, I., Tyrer, P. and Horn, S., "A comparison of Subliminal, Supraliminal and Faded Phobic Cine-Films in the Treatment of Agoraphobia. " British Journal of Psychiatry (1983):

* 32 patients were treated by being exposed to videos twice per week for a period of three weeks. Three of the groups saw the same movie - a selection of agoraphobic scenes, while the control group saw a potter working on his wheel. The three test groups included one group who viewed it at a level below the visual threshold (the subliminal group), one seeing it under normal conditions (the regular group), and the third was exposed to both subliminal and regular viewing as the study progressed (the faded group).

* The faded group showed the greatest improvement out of all of the groups. The improvement was maintained over a twelve week review period.

* These findings findings indicate that both subliminal and regular presentation of messages can be effective in reducing agoraphobic behavior, but when combining subliminal messaging with regular viewing there is an even greater effect.

Darts Accuracy

Plumbo, R. and Gillman, I. "Effects of Subliminal Activation of Oedipal Fantasies on Competitive Performance." The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1984):

* Subjects tested for their darts accuracy. They were exposed to the following subliminal messages; "Beating him is OK", "Beating him is wrong", and a neutral control message of "People are walking".

* Results showed that people exposed to the message "Beating him is OK" showed greater dart-throwing accuracy than people listening to any other messages.

This study shows that even a simple positive message played while throwing darts can induce a greater level of accuracy.

Strong Reactions To Subconscious Messages

Bornstein, R.F, Leone, D.R. and Galley, D.J. "The Generalizability of Subliminal Mere Exposure Effects: Influence of Stimuli Perceived Without Awareness on Social Behavior." Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (1987):

* Spoken statements hidden by white noise at increasing volume levels were played to test subjects.

* Stronger physiological reactions were observed in subjects exposed to the messages which masked by loud white noise and inaudible, than when the volume was actually lower and the messages were somewhat audible.

* Research concluded that completely inaudible messages were capable of reaching the human mind, and of having a physiological effect.

Subliminal Messages Reduce Shoplifting

* TIME Magazine reported in 1979 that nearly 50 department stores in the U.S. and Canada had been using subliminal messages over their music systems which had resulted in a significant reduction in both customer based shoplifting and employee theft.

* One East Coast chain amounted savings of $600,000 over a nine-month period!

* Another story in the Wall Street Journal in 1980 stated that subliminal messaging a New Orleans supermarket resulted in an all time low within 6 months of use - from $50,000 per six month period to a figure of $13,000! Furthermore cashier shortages dropped from $125 per week to below $10 per week.

The Power of Subliminal Stimulus

Shevrin, H. "Does the Averaged Evoked Response Encode Subliminal Perception? Yes." (1975):

* Research showed that peoples responses to a given stimulus were statistically lower when subjects were consciously aware, but when the stimuli was presented in a subliminal fashion the response rate was significantly higher.

* Despite people being unaware of the stimuli, measurements suggest that our minds do still become aware. This suggests that while the mind is not consciously aware of any messages, the subconscious mind can pick up on the subliminal information and respond in the same way as if it was received under regular conditions.
