Is Subliminal Hypnosis Real?
By Article Expert on Mar. 4, 2009.
Here is a quick introduction to subliminal hypnosis - what it is and what it can do for you. There is some confusion as to what this exactly is as subliminal messaging and hypnosis different wasy of changing your mind and beliefs etc.. First of all here are 2 definitions:
- Hypnosis: Is where someone goes into a a trance like state; a state in which they have a heightened suggestibility and do not have the ability to think logically. In this state access is easily gained to the subconscious mind. This is usually done with the use of subtle suggestions in a hypnotic tone of voice - designed to ease you into state of trance.
- Subliminal Messaging: Is also a means to access the subconscious mind and bypasses your critical thinking function. Just like hypnotherapy it will implant suggestions into your mind - the difference being however that you won’t go into a deep trance, and you will be unaware of the subliminal messages as they enter your mind. The normal way of using these subliminal suggestions is by embedding them in music.
So.. just what is subliminal hypnosis?
The lines can be blurry, and the term has grown to mean different things to different people.
Officially subliminal hypnosis is where you enter a mini trance state without meaning to i.e. you enter it subliminally. This might sound strange but we are actually consciousl going in and out of mini trance like states - when reading, really focused on writing, riding the bus, day dreaming etc.
It is easy to explain with the example of watching television. We become engrossed in the tv and enter a type of trance. We are somewhat oblivious of our surroundings when this happens - we may not properly register a question we get asked when we are in a mini trance like this, or the answer comes after a brief delay, once we realise we have been asked a question.
Also typically tv advertisements are generally louder than the show which you were just watching - this takes you out of your trance, and gets your attention on the advert. Then, with various techniques of music, flashing lights, colours, or by overloading the senses they attempt to put you into another mini trance - if you are only focusing on the advert and in a bit of a trance then the advert will do better.
However, with the increase in the use of both hypnotherapy cds and subliminals it has actually started to get used to refer to either pure hypnosis or subliminal messaging. This is not 100% correct, and it is in fact a little misleading. When people ask us about our subliminal hypnosis albums we have to clearly say what our albums do and don’t do.
As with the first definition our albums are pure subliminal messaging and not trance based - this has both advantages and disadvantages over pure hypnosis - it is more of a gradual treatment, but it won’t put you into a trance, which means you can make changes to your inner mind during your regular routine - even while exercising etc.
