Subliminal CDs work by sending positive affirmations into your subconscious mind. This helps the subconscious to accept the message as a command, and as the subconscious is unable to reason by itself, unlike the conscious mind, this allows it to accept the positive messages as reality.
Many subliminal CDs producers make impossible or seemingly unattainable promises that their CDs will produce miracle results for you. However, this is not possible without some effort on your part, or everyone will be walking around with a slim figure and greater confidence overnight. That is not to say that subliminal messages and subliminal CDs do not work – they do. The trick is in using it the right way, so that you can make the most out of your subliminal CD.
1) Believe
The first step in using the subliminal CD is that you must believe in it. Whilst the jury on the research is still out on the effectiveness of subliminal CDs, there is no reason to reject it just because you have never tried this form of learning and self-help. The best way to decide if the subliminal CD works for you is to try it, and believe in it. After all, if it doesn’t work there is sometimes a money back guarantee from a reputable producer.
2) Identify your Intent
Before you start learning anything new, or achieving a goal, you have to identify exactly what is it that you want to achieve. What do you hope to learn, and what is your desired out come? If you start using your subliminal CDs without a goal in mind, your subconscious mind will lack a clear and focused direction, and this hinders the subliminal messaging process. All it takes is a few minutes of your time to identify what your goal is.
3) Play your CDs at the appropriate time
Most subliminal CDs recommend usage when you are not busy working or driving. This is important, and you should only listen to them in “dead” time, for example when you are on public transport, or jogging on a treadmill. Whilst it is alright to listen to them whilst conducting other activities, it is better if these activities do not need your full attention, such as driving, as it could be potentially dangerous for you. Check the website or the packaging of your subliminal CD for appropriate instructions on when you can or cannot listen to it.
4) Relaxed atmosphere
If possible, listen to your CD only when you have calmed yourself down and are able to sit quietly without being disturbed for the length of the CD. This way, you will be able to reap the most benefit out of your time spent listening to it. When you are relaxed, your mind and body will be more receptive to the messages it is listening to, which will speed up the process of making the subliminal CDs more effective for you.
5) Reinforcing what you have learnt
Subliminal CDs, much like learning a new subject, require constant reinforcement so that you do not forget what you have learnt. Similarly, it is encouraged to listen to the subliminal CDs at constant intervals to ensure that your mind does not forget what it has learnt!
