Custom Subliminal Messages: Can You Lose Weight With Them?

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

The effectiveness of custom subliminal messages is being felt the maximum in the weight-loss and advertising industries. My neighbor claims to have lost ten kilos since she combined her gym sessions with special music tapes containing custom subliminal messages! She says she could never lose weight earlier no matter how much she exercised.

There is nothing mysterious about custom subliminal messages. They are a simple psychiatric tool. Psychiatrists differentiate between the conscious and the subconscious mind. Any messages and ideas sent directly to your mind are analyzed based on your concepts and beliefs. However, the subconscious mind is considered to be more impressionable. When a combination of audio-visual messages or separate audio and visual cues are sent to your subconscious mind, psychiatrists say you are impacted more. This is because the analytical mind cannot interfere with the interpretation of that message for you. In the weight-loss industry, experts say you are more likely to give up high-calorie food after regular use of custom subliminal messages given to you in exercise music than just being told to eat properly.

The advertising world is based majorly on custom subliminal messages. Preferences or suggestions to buy certain products can be cleverly entwined in music and short movie clips. Custom subliminal messages are not like hypnotizing you. They are only suggestions to help you improve your life in areas of fitness, confidence etc. Custom subliminal messages are like teachers giving you instructions again and again. Neither can custom subliminal messages harm you or force you to do things against your ethics.

The experiments with custom subliminal messages though, were discussed first as far back as in 1898 by E.W.Scripture in The New Psychology. And, advertisers have been heard of having used them for years to influence customers.

Today, the majority opinion about the effectiveness of custom subliminal messages for losing weight, being more active, healing fast is still divided. Some people absolutely vouch for CDs that come with music and videos designed to input custom subliminal messages for improving various areas of your life. If you decide to buy any of these products please check the credentials of the manufacturer.
