Subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal audio recordings require creating a sound track.

The purpose of this audio track is either to mask  messages, promote a state of relaxation or potentially both.

This is extremely important in how the subsequent audio components are built and their effectiveness.

Since the sound or masking track is usually most audibly predominant in a recording, it is important to know how to create, select or generate one in the best way possible.

There are two basic ways to consider a masking or sound track. The first is from the listener’s perspective, and the second from the creator’s perspective.

Since you are the creator of the recording, it is vital that you understand both what a potential listener expects and prefers, as well as what your own requirements are for a masking or sound track.

Subliminal Sound Tracks – What the Listener Expects

The listener obviously expects that the recording will be of a high quality and be effective.

They are not concerned with the details of how it was created, but they will expect the masking or sound track that they hear be relaxing, soothing and appeal to them.

This means that as a recording creator, you must ensure that you meet these requirements. Unfortunately, what is relaxing, soothing and appealing to one person may be completely different for another person.

For example, the gentle sounds of ocean waves lapping onto the seashore with birds chirping in the background may be soothing to some, but may trigger a negative reaction in others.

Similarly, listening to the sounds of insects for an extended period may be quite unpleasant for certain individuals. To a lesser degree, classical music without vocals may simply sound uninteresting to some people.

The solution is to provide as wide a variety of masking or sound tracks as possible so that they appeal to the majority of the potential listeners. As simple as this may seem, it can difficult to do in practice. This is the point where the requirements of the listener meet yours, as a creator.

Sound and Masking Tracks – What the Recording Creator Desires

Being a creator of subliminal or other recording types, your preferences with respect to creating or selecting a masking or sound track are different than that of the listener. The most important of these are as follows:

• Provide the fewest number of masking or sound tracks possible
• Appeal to the largest number of listeners possible
• Whether obtaining or generating sound tracks, be of low cost

You can provide only a small number of masking or sound tracks and still have your potential listeners find them appealing.

But you must select a core group that has been found to be acceptable to most people. The majority of people find nature sounds or gentle classical music to be soothing, relaxing and appealing.

Within the category of nature sounds, there are the sounds of ocean waves, rainfalls, waterfalls, rivers, brooks, wind, a crackling campfire and many others.

It is suggested that you consider providing two or more different types that sound consistent, such as ocean waves and perhaps a gentle rainfall.

Secondary Masking Track Audio Sounds

Even though these are wise choices, a secondary sound track should also be mixed with them. The reason for this is to provide random sounds that render the track more interesting to the ear.

A suggestion is to include additional nature sounds such as different types of birds or insects. Relaxing and soothing is important, but there is no reason for the sound track to seem so consistent that it becomes boring to listen to.

If you were to choose two primary types of nature and two secondary types, then after mixing, you would have four available selections for use as your sound or masking track.

This should be your minimum core group to use, but if you increase the number of primary or secondary sound types, it becomes more difficult to manage and you should not exceed eight.

Keep in mind that this is only the sound or masking track, and you still need to create and manage message and brainwave tracks (if used).

Classical music sound tracks are also appealing but it is important that you choose those that are not overly dynamic.

By this it is meant that there should be few high and lows and the general sound and tempo is consistent.

A soft and gentle concerto by Beethoven or Bach is acceptable, but the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky is far too dynamic.

Also, if you choose to use classical music for your sound or masking tracks, there is no reason to mix them with a secondary track containing random sounds of nature.

The reason for this is that most classical music tracks are already reasonably consistent yet still sound interesting.

Sound Track Sources

As a recording creator, you also need to decide whether to obtain your sound or masking tracks from other sources, generate your own with software programs, record them yourself or perhaps a mixture of all three.

If you choose to obtain free sound clips or pay for pre-recorded sound tracks, you must be cautious in how you select them.

Many available relate to nature sounds and those that are free are usually very short in length and of poor quality.

It is highly recommended that you do not use free short audio clips in your sound or masking track because of this.

Although usually limited to nature sounds, another option is to obtain software that can generate sound or masking tracks of any length that you can customize in virtually an infinite number of ways.

The advantages to this is that the generated sound track will be exactly what you design it to be, involve no royalty fees, be of high quality, and never have embedded subliminal messages.

You may also select to record your own sound tracks but this can be somewhat of a challenge. It requires the correct environment, good recording equipment and some patience.

Whether it involves nature sounds or classical music, the sound or masking track that you incorporate into your subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal recording should be acceptable to your potential listener and be within the limits of your resources as a creator.

You also need to decide if it is best to record your own sound tracks, use prerecorded ones or use software to generate them. Striving for a balance between what options you provide your listeners with and what is manageable for you should be your goal.

Before considering how to create subliminal messages to help oneself or others, it is important to define exactly what is a subliminal message.

Understanding how and why they can be used to introduce ideas and changes at the subconscious level and affect people in a positive manner is extremely important.

A subliminal message is any type of information or signal that can be presented to the human mind below the normal level of awareness. Subliminal is defined as:

“Not rising above the threshold of consciousness; designed to act on the mind at a subconscious level”. (Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary)

Subliminal is derived from “sub” (meaning below) and “limen”, (Latin for threshold).

Subliminal Message Perception and Types

Subliminal messages can actually be heard or seen and are either at a low volume, presented extremely quickly or visually masked.

It is unlikely that there will be conscious awareness of them unless paying extremely close attention. The two major types of subliminals are visual messages and audio messages.

The messages are within the limits of physical perception, but below the level of normal consciousness.

If created and delivered properly, they are received directly by the subconscious mind.

Their potential power exists because the subliminal messages are not censored or judged by the conscious mind.

This does not mean that any subliminal message type will be accepted by the subconscious mind.

The messages must be designed, written, recorded and presented in the best way possible.

Unless all of these aspects are addressed correctly, the messages will not be accepted and have the affect on the subconscious that is desired.

The definition of subliminal relies on the assumption that the human mind consists of two major components; the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.

The Conscious Mind and Subliminal Messages

The conscious mind represents normal waking awareness and provides the abilities for reasoning, analysis and focusing on a specific thought as directed.

This is what you are presently using at this moment as you read this article.

The conscious mind has limited memory capabilities which you can prove immediately to yourself by attempting to recall exactly what you were doing one week or month ago.

This can be difficult for virtually everyone, but what the conscious mind lacks in memory capacity is more than compensated by its ability to process information.

The conscious mind also acts as a filtering or censoring agent that will either accept or refuse certain ideas that are presented to it.

If you were to directly suggest to yourself that you were already healthy and wealthy your conscious mind would likely refute the idea immediately.

This is why it is necessary to present messages that bypass the conscious mind and introduce subconscious subliminal messages.

The Subconscious Mind and Subliminal Messages

The subconscious mind is almost the reverse of the conscious mind in that it acts as a storehouse for all the events and experiences encountered throughout a lifetime.

The details of these memories can be accessed and this has been proven by placing subjects into a state of hypnosis and using hypnotic age regression.

The subconscious is only capable of very simple reasoning and most of what is entered into it is interpreted almost literally.

It is not able to analyze what is submitted to it but is more than capable of remembering it.

This can be either of benefit or detrimental to your well-being and a past experience that had an emotional effect may still influence the present.

If past experiences, either positive or negative remain unaddressed in the subconscious then they may have an effect that is projected into the present.

The subconscious will attempt to maintain the current state of programming for a person.

If they have had past experiences that have programmed the subconscious to expect lack, ill-health, loneliness or many other characteristics, then the subconscious will attempt to keep the person in such a state.

The subconscious will also strive to maintain any present habit, no matter good or bad until it receives new programming. It may also contain defense mechanisms that may make it more difficult for some types of subliminal messages to be accepted.

This is usually dependent upon the personality and the more independent, self-controlling, self-empowered or free-spirited a person is, the more difficult it is for their subconscious to accept change. Fortunately, if the subliminal messages are designed properly, this is reasonably simple to overcome.

Understanding the precise definition of a subliminal message is likely less important than the potential benefits they can provide and instead of debating the definitions or origins, it is likely far more productive to simply focus on how to create subliminals to help yourself or others.

Choosing the length of a subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal recording is an issue that is most often misunderstood.

There are several topics related to this such as the length of the message script, message track and how they should be built.

It is to your advantage and your potential listeners that you understand these issues before designing and building your recordings.

Each type of recording requires an audio message track which is created using the message script that you should already have written in the best way possible.

There are other articles available that describe how to do this properly, and it is suggested that you read further about using the proper tense, permissive and directive statements, first and second person perspectives, avoiding negative words or phrases and various others.

Message Script Length

After the message script has been written and recorded or generated, it will usually be several minutes in length.

This short audio message segment should be mixed repeatedly when building the final message track.

You may have more than one if deciding to use both male and female voices.

Exactly how long this audio message segment is depends on how many message statements there are in the script and how they are recorded or generated.

Your message script should include between 50 and 60 statements, and always be presented in a relaxing and calm voice.

Each statement will likely be about five seconds in audio length and this means that twelve statements could be created for each minute (5 seconds x 12 statements = 60 seconds).

If there were 60 messages and each took five seconds then this would mean that that the message clip would be approximately five minutes in length (60 statements x 5 seconds = 300 seconds).

Audio Message Track Length

However, a five-minute message segment is not long enough when creating any type of message track.

The audio message clip will have to be repeated several times in order to build an audio message track that is approximately 30 minutes in length.

The short message clip that has been created will have to be sequentially mixed so that it reaches approximately 30 minutes.

This means that if the original clip was 5 minutes in length, then 6 copies of them placed one after another would result in an audio message track that approaches 30 minutes in length.

If different voices were used in creating the message segments, then it is suggested to use them when mixing the final message track.

For instance, if the same message script was used to record or generate audio segments with a male and then a female voice, you could build the message track by sequentially mixing the male voice segment followed by the female voice segment.

This could be done repeatedly until the suggested length of 30 minutes is approximately reached.

An advanced strategy when mixing the message track is to present different message segments simultaneously in each of the left and right audio channels.

This usually requires having already created message segments with both female and male voices. Instead of sequentially combining them, they would be inserted in parallel into the left and right audio channels.

The advantage of doing so is that the listener will hear all the messages twice within the same length of time.

Repeating the Message at the Subject Level

In order for a subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal recording to achieve the target goal of introducing change to the subconscious mind, the messages provided must be repeated.

This is done on different levels and it is important to both understand and accomplish this in the best way possible.

At the basic level, the message scripts you design will contain statements that are similar and address the goal desired.

These could relate to success, fitness, relationships or any number of topics. The important point is that at the subject level, they target the same goal but from different perspectives.

For example, if the desired goal involved weight loss, there are several aspects to consider. This could involve proper eating habits, motivation to exercise, loving oneself and likely other issues.

Even though the statements will be different, they should be designed so that they address the same target issue but from different angles. This form of repetition at the subject level is extremely important and should always be a consideration when designing your message scripts.

Repetition at the Track Level

At the next level, these recorded or generated audio message statements will be combined when building the final message track.

By doing so, another level of repetition is provided and this is accomplished by sequentially mixing the audio message segments or as suggested previously, combining them in parallel using both left and right audio channels.

The message segments you have recorded or generated should be mixed in the best manner to build the final audio message track.

This may involve using different voices segments but regardless, the statements should be repeated several times as a group.

Repetition at the Listener Level

Once the audio message track has been built, there is only one more layer that involves repetition.

This is up to the listener and how they decide to play the recordings that you have created for them.

They can easily choose to set their playback device to repeat the recording and this should be suggested to them.

Although the length of the message track is recommended to be approximately 30 minutes, this can be increased if desired.

However, this is not necessary because the messages presented are already repeated several times and the final recording can easily be set to play back continuously, perhaps even for many hours if preferred.

Also, this represents only one listening session, and it is likely that the listener will be playing the recordings frequently and possibly for weeks until the desired subconscious changes take effect.

A recording of greater length also requires additional storage space, and although this may not matter for a few recordings, it will have an impact if you are creating many recordings.

Remember that it is necessary not only to store the final recordings, but each of the tracks used in building them as well as the audio message segments.

Sound and Brainwave Tracks in Recordings

Once you have built the audio message track, the audio segments for sound or brainwave audio tracks will have to be created. Depending on the type of recording that you decide upon, it may require additional effort to either record or generate these.

The length of any additional sound or brainwave tracks should be dependent on the length of the final audio message track.

If the final audio message track was built so that it was approximately 30 minutes in length, then the accompanying sound or brainwave tracks should be created so that they are also of the same duration.

The reason for doing this is to ensure that the final recording provides as many helpful messages as possible.

If the audio message track was 30 minutes in duration but the accompanying sound or brainwave tracks were 35 minutes in length, this can be a potential problem.

In this case, there would be five minutes of time in the recording in which no messages would be presented to the listener. Other than having the effect of perhaps relaxing the listener, no messages would be presented and obviously have no effect in helping them.

You have many options when designing and building a subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal audio recordings. One of the most important is deciding on the length of the recording.

The duration of your final recording should be aligned with the initial message audio track and any or all of the additional sound or brainwave tracks. Doing this will only serve to help your listeners and increase the value that you receive from them.

One of the most important aspects when creating either a subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal audio recording is to ensure that the volume or amplitude of the message, sound, masking or brainwave tracks be set at the correct level. This article discusses what these levels should be and why the quality of your recording depends on it.

Although not exactly the same as loudness, amplitude is closely related to it and is measured using the decibel scale. Once you have created the supporting tracks to be used in the final recording, the amplitude or decibel level of each will have to be adjusted before mixing the tracks together. How this is done is dependent on the type of recording and is completely different for subliminal, supraliminal and paraliminal recordings.

Subliminal Recordings and Amplitude

By definition, a subliminal recording is a mixture of two audio tracks, one presenting the message statements and a second that acts as a masking track. The messages must be perceptible by the brain, but not quite audible to the conscious mind. The masking track is completely audible and also acts to make the recording sound more interesting to the ear.

When you first build the audio message track, it should be at a normal level of volume and this is necessary in order to verify that the message statements have been created properly. It is also important that whether you record your own message statements or generate them using text-to-speech software that they sound consistent.

By consistent it is meant that the amplitude or loudness of each statement be at the same level. Also, the speed and manner in which the message statements are presented should be reasonably slow and sound calm and relaxing. The best strategy when creating the message track is to pretend that you are talking to a young child.

The masking audio track should also be consistent and be relaxing to the listener. Sound clips that are erratic in volume and have many highs and lows in loudness are not recommended in any way. Using relaxing music or nature sounds is a much better choice.

Once you have built both the audio message and masking sound tracks and are satisfied with them, you will have to consider adjusting their level of volume or amplitude before mixing them together to create the final recording. The difference in amplitude between the message track and the masking track should be approximately 15 decibels, but this can vary either way by several decibels.

A common mistake made by people new to creating subliminal recordings and unfortunately even some companies that sell them is that they reduce the amplitude of the message track by too large a degree. Instead of reducing it by 15 decibels, it may be lowered it by as much as 30 to 40 decibels. In doing so, they may make the message statements physically inaudible and effectively render the final recording useless.

The software program you choose in mixing your message and masking tracks will provide you with the ability to adjust amplitude levels and it may take repeated attempts before you arrive at just the right sound levels. Even though the software is precise in how this is done, the best judge should still be your ears.

It is suggested that you listen to each track and the potential final mixed recording repeatedly until you are satisfied that the messages can be heard and that they are not overwhelmed by the masking sound track. It will likely be necessary to greatly increase the volume of the sound system of your computer in order to do this.

Supraliminal Recordings and Amplitude

With a supraliminal recording, both the message track and the accompanying sound track are designed to be completely audible. It is also important that the message track include a short initial segment designed to relax the body and optionally, the mind of the listener.

But even though both the message and accompanying sound track should be audible, it does not mean that they should be mixed at the same level of amplitude. This is an often overlooked point when building supraliminal recordings.

As with a subliminal audio recording, both the message and sound tracks should be created in the best way possible. Aside from the additional introductory relaxation segment in the message track, there is no difference between a subliminal and supraliminal recording except for the amplitude levels of the supporting audio tracks.

How they are mixed is important and it is suggested that you adjust the amplitude of each track appropriately. If you have created both the message and sound tracks properly, then they should each be consistent in how they sound. They will likely be at approximately the same level of amplitude or loudness.

But before mixing the message and sound tracks together it is advised that you adjust the amplitude of the message track. The message statements should be audible, but they should seem almost like someone was politely and calmly speaking to you as you were falling asleep.

If the message track was created by applying the guidelines suggested previously for subliminal recordings, then it should be calm, relaxing and consistent. The same principles apply to the sound track that you decide to include in the final recording.

For a supraliminal recording the message track should be reduced in amplitude by approximately 5 decibels. The reason for doing this is so that even though both the message and sound tracks are audible, the message track will sound more comforting to the listener at slightly lower amplitude.

Paraliminal Recordings and Amplitude

A paraliminal recording is considerably different than a subliminal or supraliminal recording. It normally includes three or more different audio tracks instead of the two that are commonly used in subliminal or supraliminal recordings. The additional track included is a brainwave track and it is designed to induce a relaxed mental state by using binaural tones.

The brainwave track must be created using two channels or in stereo because it is usually necessary to present different sound frequencies to each ear in order to achieve the desired effect. The desired effect is to induce a state of mind so that the listener experiences an alpha, theta or delta brain experience. By doing so, the listener becomes more receptive to the message statements presented in the audio message track.

Each of the other audio tracks must also be created in stereo, because if one must be in stereo then the others must also be built in the same manner. The tracks included in the final recording must always be built using two channels.

The three tracks required, message, sound and brainwave, should also be adjusted with respect to their amplitude before mixing the final recording. The audio message track should be slightly lower in amplitude than the sound track by approximately 5 decibels.

The brainwave track should be slightly be above audible perception and be at least 20 decibels lower in amplitude than the sound track. The reason for doing this is that the binaural tones presented in the brainwave track can become irritating to the listener and there is no benefit in doing so.

Again, the best way to judge the volume or amplitude levels of each of the recording components is to listen carefully before you decide to mix them together.

In conclusion, it is highly important that you mix each of your supporting audio tracks in the best way possible. Part of this involves adjusting the volume, loudness or amplitude of them before attempting to mix them together when creating your final recording. Doing this may require additional time, but it is usually worth the effort involved and likely that the recordings you create will be more satisfying to your listeners.

Once you have chosen a subject for your subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal audio recording and studied it, the next step is to begin designing the message statements.

Even if you have personally experienced the problem, it can still be difficult to start to design statements that will be effective in addressing the topic.

Creating both negative and positive lists relating to the selected topic can help save considerable time.

The purpose of the message statements is to reverse negative thoughts and feelings regarding the subject and introduce new ones to the subconscious mind.

By first documenting a list of the negative items, it becomes much easier to write positive message statements.

Creating a List of Negative Thoughts and Feelings

If you understand the chosen topic properly, it should be reasonably easy to write down a list of how someone would feel if they had the problem being addressed.

You should include in the list anything and everything that comes to mind when you focus on it, but more importantly what you are feeling.

As you do this, do not attempt to think too much about it and continue writing until you sense that you are done.

You may and should return to this list to refine it, but you should be feeling as if you had the target problem even if having only researched it.

If you have experienced the target problem personally, then creating this list will likely be simple to do.

Among the many possible topics for self-help subliminal or other recording types, one of the most popular involves losing weight. Although you may likely not choose this as a subject for your recording, it still acts as a powerful example.

A partial list of the negative thoughts and feelings people addressing this challenge have are as follows:

• I will always be overweight
• I will never be attractive
• I could never fit into smaller clothes
• I wish people didn’t feel sorry for me
• I hate the way I look
• No one will ever love me the way I am
• I can’t change the way I look
• I don’t like to exercise
• Eating makes me feel happy

You may feel anything from mild sympathy to strong emotions by only reading this short list of negative feelings that someone in this scenario experiences. In any case, understanding how potential listeners feel will likely only help you in writing this list.

You may be able to create a longer list of negative characteristics with respect to this topic and whichever subject you select, this will simply aid you in designing the first list.

Convert the Negative Statements to Positive Statements

Once you have completed a list of as many negative thoughts and feelings associated with the topic of your recording, it is time to reverse them.

But this should not be taken literally and you should be careful in how this is done.

The idea is to convert the meaning of the negative statements and rewrite them to achieve a list of desirable statements.

This may take a few attempts, but a first effort at doing this is listed below, and is written to express what a person with this challenge would prefer.

• I want to be at my ideal weight
• I desire to be attractive
• I would like to easily fit into smaller clothes
• I want people to admire me
• I want to like how I look
• I would like to be loved as I am
• I want to be able to change how I look
• I desire to enjoy exercising
• I would like to eat food that is good for me

This should not be considered to be the final version of what would be used in the subliminal or any other type of message track. It will be necessary to modify and revise these messages appropriately.

Revise and Improve the Positive Message Statements

The next step you should follow is to convert these positive statements so that they are closer to being suitable for use in a subliminal or other type of message audio track.

Instead of phrasing the statements as “I want” or “I would”, it is advised to rewrite them so that they are stated as “I am” or “I am becoming” or something similar.

Using the example list provided above, the result of the suggested transformation would be as follows:

• I am becoming closer to my ideal weight
• I am attractive in every way
• It is becoming easier to fit into smaller clothes
• People admire how I look
• I now really like how I look
• I am loved just as I am
• Changing how I look is becoming easier
• I know that exercise is good for me
• I enjoy eating food that is healthy for me

Each statement has been changed so that it is more positive, appealing and receptive to the subconscious mind. But these sample message statements are not refined enough yet.

You should also consider sub-themes related to the topic, ideal message statement lengths, permissive or directive statements, and using first and second person perspectives in order to target the goal in the best manner.

Understanding the subject of your recording is extremely important not only to you, but to the potential audience as well.

Knowing what they feel and don’t want will help you in designing message statements more effectively.

An excellent and suggested way to do this is by writing lists of what they don’t want and then converting into a list of what they would prefer.

Even though this may take some time, it is time well spent. After all, your goal is to create the most effective subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal recording and in the best way.

When designing a subliminal message script it is important to consider including sub-theme messages related to the topic chosen.

A sub-theme is any underlying issue that may be indirectly contributing to the problem because of existing subconscious blocks.

Even though it is preferable to design and create your message script statements in the best way possible, you cannot always be certain that you are entirely targeting the root of the problem.

Secondary issues pertaining to self-image, allowing change and loving oneself may be embedded in the subconscious mind of the potential listener.

Addressing Secondary Issues in a Message Script

For example, a person seeking to become fit and lose weight may possibly have one or more deeper subconscious blocks that prevent them from achieving their goal.

A negative experience from early childhood such as having been repeatedly told that they will always be overweight may be even carried with them into adulthood.

They may feel subconsciously that they will always be unattractive, never be able to change, no one will ever love them and have low self-esteem.

They could try many possible methods to overcome this, but each may be met with resistance by the subconscious mind unless the underlying issues or sub-themes are also addressed.

There is no certain method of determining the subconscious issues or sub-themes someone else may have, and the best strategy is to include the most important sub-issues appropriately.

These include message statements that pertain to love and forgiveness, embracing change and positive self-image.

Message Statements for Love and Forgiveness

A few message statements relating to loving oneself should always be included in your message script, and preferably at the beginning.

The reason for doing this is to make the subconscious mind more receptive to the subsequent messages targeting the chosen subject.

This should also include statements of forgiveness in that it is allowable to having made mistakes in the past and permissible to let go of them. Some suggested statements that you could use are as follows:

• I love and respect myself completely
• I love myself more with each passing day
• I forgive myself for my mistakes
• I let go of my problems easily

Inserting some of these statements in your message script will not detract from helping address the target subject and will only help resolve any potential underlying issues.

Message Statements for Embracing Changes

Allowing oneself to change can be at times difficult, especially if the subconscious mind resists change of any type.

Adding a few statements to your message script that target this is strongly advised.

The purpose of these additional subliminal message statements is to suggest that change is allowed and embraced.

Examples of what you can and may wish to include are as follows:

• I allow myself to change
• It is acceptable for changes to happen in my life  
• I embrace changes in my life
• Changes in my life are good for me

You need only consider including two or three statements in your message script that address this. These can be placed at any point in the script, but again it is suggested that you place them close to the beginning to reduce resistance from the subconscious mind to the subject messages that follow.

Message Script Statements for Positive Self-Image

One of the most important sub-issues that you should address involves self-image.

Many people having the problem that your recording will target may feel less than positive about themselves.

Including message statements that help them feel accepted at the subconscious level is strongly suggested.

It will also indicate to their subconscious mind that they are worthy and render it easier for the subject messages to be received. A few statements you may wish to include are below.

• I feel good about myself
• I can do anything I set my mind on 
• I am worthy of success
• I am confident in my abilities

As with the other suggested statements about love and forgiveness or embracing change, these can be placed at the beginning of the message script. Another idea is to place them randomly within the script so that occasional positive messages targeting self-image are presented.

Combining Sub-Theme Messages with the Target Subject

Addressing sub-themes in you message script may seem to be nowhere near as important as addressing the target subject.

However, they should still be included as part of your message script design.

Another important consideration is the number of sub-theme statements included in the final script.

Several statements that address each of the important sub-issues such as self-love, forgiveness, embracing change and self-image should be included.

You can choose from any of the suggested ones above, or include those of your own.

But it is important that these sub-issues not dominate the message script and act only to support underlying issues.

If your final message script contains between the suggested 60 and 70 statements then a portion of these should be focused on sub-theme issues.

Including about 10 statements for sub-issues is reasonable and represents only about 15% of the total number of statements.

If you were to add perhaps six statements at the beginning of the script and inserted a few more self-image suggestions then your message script may appear as follows:

• I love and respect myself completely
• I forgive myself for my mistakes
• I let go of my problems easily
• I allow myself to change
• It is acceptable for changes to happen in my life 
• I embrace changes in my life
• SUBJECT MESSAGES
• ….
• ….
• I am confident in my abilities
• SUBJECT MESSAGES
• ….
• ….
• I am worthy of success in every way
• SUBJECT MESSAGES
• ….
• ….
• I feel good about myself
• SUBJECT MESSAGES
• ….
• ….
• I can do anything I set my mind on
• SUBJECT MESSAGES
• …
• … 

This should not be difficult to do and will help your listeners, even if they do not have underlying target issues. Remember also that your message script, whether subliminal or any other type, will be repeated several times when you create the final message audio track.

By including these sub-themes you are also providing an additional form of insurance that your recording will help achieve the desired effect.

Understanding and targeting sub-issues that may contribute to the problem that you message script addresses is important both to you as a creator and to your audience. You may even wish to create a subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal audio recording that specifically address any of these sub-issues.

As long as you understand that underlying issues may exist in your target listener, then you should choose to include additional message statements that can help them. If you do then your recordings will only be of a higher quality and likely more appreciated by your audience.

Subliminal messages can cause change in a person’s subconscious beliefs and help to establish new behaviour patterns by replacing existing negative beliefs with more positive versions.

Subliminal changes can be introduced by using visual or audio subliminal messages in the proper manner over a period of time.

The goal behind the use of subliminal messages is to bypass the conscious mind and submit suggestions directly into the subconscious mind without any reasoning or judgment by the conscious mind.

By being exposed to subliminal messages repeatedly, the expected result is that change is experienced at the subconscious level.

Once this change is accepted into the subconscious mind, a person would act differently without necessarily knowing why. They would feel an inclination to choose one action over another because the subliminal messages had been accepted at the subconscious level.

Changing Old Beliefs with Subliminal Messages

As an example, a person may have been repeatedly told when they were a small child that “You will never be rich”, “You will never amount to anything”, or similar statements.

These suggestions can become embedded in the subconscious mind and at an early age.

At childhood, it is very easy to influence the subconscious and regrettably, create beliefs that may be carried forward to adulthood and become core values.

These issues should first be addressed if possible by presenting subliminal messages that gradually remove them and replace them with positive new beliefs.

For example, if a person was accustomed to having a lack of wealth they could have several different types of subconscious blocks such as:

• I will never have enough money
• I do not deserve wealth
• I must work hard for any money I receive
• Wealthy people are evil

Introducing Change with Subliminal Recordings 

The concepts held by the subconscious could be replaced with the reverse of those in the list above, such as:

• I always have more than enough money
• I am deserving of wealth and abundance
• Wealth comes to me easily
• It is ok to be wealthy

Messages subliminally introduced into the subconscious mind can change the actions that a person takes.

The subliminal messages act to enter new programming into the subconscious mind.

Old beliefs and fears are gradually eliminated and replaced by more positive programs.

The result would be that a person believed, felt and acted differently in contrast to their old patterns.

They would behave differently because the subconscious mind would send back signals to the conscious mind encouraging them to seek financial opportunties, control spending and various related activities.

The signals from the subconscious can surface as feelings, desires or even urges to take or not take certain actions. Once the subliminal messages to introduce change are provided, it is only necessary to embrace them to see the positive results.

When deciding whether to select a subliminal or supraliminal audio recording, which type produces the most effective results?

As I understand it, and I may be wrong, subliminal is where messages are audibly hidden beneath foreground music and supraliminal is where the messages are truly audible.

Thanks in advance.

Designing and writing the perfect message script for your recording is one of the first steps you must take in order to create a great subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal recording. But after this is done, you need to decide whether to record it yourself, have someone else record it for you, or have the audio messages generated by a computer program. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages in choosing any one of these.

Deciding on how to build your audio message tracks can sometimes be difficult because you need to choose which of the available methods is best for you. What may be suitable for one person may be completely unacceptable to another. There are other considerations about each technique that you should be aware of before you decide and these are discussed in detail.

Recording Messages

Before considering recording your own message tracks, there are a few questions that you should first ask yourself. These are:

• Do you want to Record your Own Voice?
• Do you Like the Sound of your Voice?
• Do you Know Someone with a Great Voice?
• Do you have the Equipment Needed to Record Messages?

These may seem to be obvious questions to which you likely already know the answers, but they are still important. Firstly, if you have definitely decided to not record your own voice in any manner, then you may wish to skip the next few paragraphs.

Many people have never heard their own voice recorded and played back to them. In some cases, they become surprised that their voice sounded the way it did. This may not always be in an acceptable manner and some may simply consider that they do not like their voice and presume that no one else will.

You should not discount your ability in recording your own voice and should at least consider it possible that your voice sounds acceptable, even if at first you doubt this. Record a message script with your own voice and perhaps have a friend do the same. Compare each of them and decide objectively which would likely sound better to a potential listener.

Once you decide that your voice, or that of a friend is satisfactory, then you will need to determine if you have the proper equipment to record your message script properly.

You do not require a computer to do this and any type of personal recording device is likely acceptable. More important is the manner in which you create the recording. Preferably, the recording should be made in a quiet environment so that background sounds are at a minimum.

There are considerations with respect to recording your own messages such as the volume level of your spoken voice, the speed at which you speak and the emotional overtones you use.

You should record you messages as if you were speaking to a child, and in a constant, gentle spoken voice without any emotional overtones. The subconscious mind should always be addressed in this manner because it is incapable of understanding anything beyond simple concepts.

Remember also that your message script will likely only be a few dozen statements and should only take about five minutes to record. Even if takes a few attempts to complete it, it is worth the effort and you will likely become better at it the more you experiment.

The device you use to record should be capable of storing the audio clip as a WAV file and most portable voice recorders and your own personal computer are capable of doing this. Suggested settings for the file are to use a 16-bit sample rate, mono and a sampling rate of 44,100 Hertz. If this is not convenient, the file can almost always be converted to a different type using free software utilities available.

Generating Messages

In order to convert your message scripts into audio clips, you may choose to use text-to-speech software to help you. There are many choices available to you, but you should first understand why this may be useful for you.

You may decide that recording your own messages is unacceptable or that no one you know is able to do it. Regrettably, not everyone has a voice that others would like to hear. Another option to consider is to have your message clips generated by a computer program with a well-chosen voice.

Using text-to-speech (or TTS) software will require that you learn to use one or more computer programs. There are advantages in choosing this option in that you will not have to depend on yourself or others to record your messages.

The disadvantage is that you will have to understand how to use the programs to generate your audio messages in the best way possible. But this does not have to be difficult, and you may actually find this easy to do. Usually this involves simply inserting or pasting your message script and selecting how to generate the audio file.

There are free and not so free computer programs that are able to convert your message scripts into an audio format. Unfortunately, what is presently not free are the preferred voices used in doing this. The voices, also referred to as voice engines are large files (perhaps hundreds of megabytes) that contain rules and snippets of human speech that are used to convert the text into human sounding speech.

Your computer, if recent, will likely already have built-in text-to-speech capabilities and at least one voice engine installed. You should explore what these are and decide if there is a voice suitable for generating audio message clips.

The voices available may not sound acceptable and what you would prefer to use in your message tracks. You may need to purchase a premium voice from any of the available suppliers. These voices are very close to normal human speech and different genders and accents can be chosen from a wide selection.

An advantage in using TTS (Text-to-Speech) software is that it once you perfect the technique, there is no reason to record your own messages. But there is also one possible disadvantage that is only important if you decide to sell your recordings on a large scale (hundreds or even thousands of copies).

If you purchase a human sounding voice from such vendors as Cepstral, AT&T, NeoSpeech, Acapela, RealSpeak or others, there are important licensing issues to consider. Basically they will require that royalty fees be paid either upfront or periodically for each recording you sell, and this can involve thousands of dollars.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you understand these before purchasing a voice and deciding to market your recordings. Licensing issues regarding text-to-speech voice engines are explained in greater detail in other articles.

In conclusion, you will need to decide what method is best for you in creating your message tracks. You have the option of recording them yourself, having others record it, or have it generated by computer software.

What you decide upon should be comfortable to you in every way and also the potential listeners that are waiting to hear you recordings. It is suggested that you experiment with recording your own message tracks, using others to record them, and explore the use of TTS technology before making your decision.

The messages that are contained in a subliminal message track should be carefully designed before writing them and even recording a single word. It is to your benefit that you understand the best ways to do this. No matter how high the quality of the subliminal recording, if the messages are not designed properly they will be of little benefit to anyone.

Before thinking about the messages you wish to convey to the subconscious mind you should first consider the subject that you desire to see change in. Select the area that you are interested in and write down everything you like and also what you do not like about it as it relates to you.

If you are interested in making your body more fit and attractive then you should consider what it is that you do not currently like about your body. Make this your first list and afterwards, consider what you would prefer your body to look like and write a second list.

As an example, a list of some characteristics that you may not want with respect to your body could be as follows:

• I do not want to be overweight any longer
• I do not like being unattractive
• I am tired of being unable to fit into my clothes
• I do not like people looking at me with pity
• I do not want to eat unhealthy foods
• I do not like being unmotivated to exercise

Your second list or what you do want with respect to your body may be as follows: 

• I want to be slim and in great shape
• I want others to see me as an attractive person
• I want to enjoy wearing smaller dresses or pants
• I want people to look at and admire me
• I want to enjoy eating healthy foods
• I want to enjoy exercising

Review and refine your two lists several times until you end up with your lists being almost mirror images of each other. If you were to turn the things you do not want into positive statements, they should be very close to what you wrote in your second list or vice versa.

By doing this you are confirming to yourself what you really do and do not want, in this case the topic being about your body. Your list of what you do want should also bring a smile to your face as your read it. If any item does not then it is likely not very important to you and you may wish to rewrite it.
