What are Subliminal Messages

Subliminal messages are messages in the form of written and spoken words and images or pictures. Subliminal comes from the Latin word "sub" meaning under and "limen" which means threshold.

These messages are inserted into a medium like CDs and software programs. They are embedded underneath music, songs or images and delivered through movies, advertisements and television programs.


The purpose of inserting the messages depends on the individual or the group who produce it. In 1957 James Vicary placed a device which flashes a series of images rapidly onto a screen in a movie projection room to test the effect of subliminal power to the public who were unaware of it. There were at least two reported incidents where messages were embedded in songs and have adversely affected a few listeners. There are still reports about advertising companies using this strategy to entice the public to do a certain action.

Do Subliminal Messages Work

Since these messages are below your conscious awareness, you can't hear or see them. But your subconscious can. Although it has not been proven scientifically that they are effective, many people have benefitted from using them to improve their lives like an improved economic situation and body and self-image, attracting the right partner and so on.


People are more willing to try and use this strategy to change their lives because they believe that it is safe and will influence them positively. Most computer software, programs and CDs with embedded messages enclose or attach the scripts or messages together so that people are aware of what their minds will hear or see.


A program like the MindMaster which is a words and image subliminal message tool is one of them. It is designed to assist people in changing old mental programming, overwrite false beliefs and achieve personal goals faster. You just have to download it to your computer, choose the messages and insert any images that you want to flash on your PC and let it do the rest.


Watch the video below. Listen to the creator of MindMaster speaks about how to access the power of your subconscious mind and change your life. He also talks about worldwide success stories, university studies and proven results.





Unlike MindMaster, Subliminal Audio is a spoken words only CD program which has binaural beats added. These beats will help slow down your brainwaves pattern and help you reach the Alpha state. At the Alpha brain wave level, your mind is relaxed and can easily accept messages and instructions.


Another option you can choose to test the power of subliminal is to listen to relaxing music with messages encoded. Steven Halpern who is an award-winning composer, recording artist and producer embeds positive messages in his soothing music to help his listeners relax. As you listen to his beautiful music while you rest or about to sleep, your subconscious mind will receive instructions to calm down.
