Designing Subliminal Messages Using Lists

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.
