Let us take a look at some images in advertisements, or products.  In mid 80’s,someone discovered that a Coca-Cola advertising poster released in south Australia had hidden some sexual imagery in one of the ice cubes surrounding the bottle of Coke (with the slogan “Feel the Curves!). The artist was indeed fired afterwards.

Well, more is yet to come, Coca-cola never fail to amaze its loyal consumers with new soft drinks, limited edition bottles, new flavors et cetera. As time goes by, more and more subliminal images are used on the products. Most images that are associated with the Coke bottles somehow are sex-driven. And it is weird isn’t it that all these while; they are targeting the younger generation to buy their products. It is not a wonder why there is a scaling problem of teenage pregnancies!

If you don’t believe that Coca Cola wish to have drinkers associate sex with their product then ask yourself why they needed to bring sexy games into their labeling. The banner on the label of the coke bottle that is emphasizing the idea of sex is enlarged. Given the prominence of the banner and the Diet Coke logo it is reasonable to assume one impression created by the configuration of this ad would be to make Diet Coke the subject of the question. Words such as “sexy” and “hot stuff” and “wow” which are drawn on the 6 faced-dice sure suggests something.

This sparked rivalries like Pepsi, Fanta and Dr Pepper to start this “trend” too.

Of course, there are also other subliminal pictures in advertisements that tend to carry sexual connotations, but we just can’t seem to spot it. But most of the time, believe it or not, these subliminal messages tend to be rather explicit in its contents. So watch what your child is watching.

Then we also have subliminal music. Basically, there are two categories to this. The good subliminal music versus the baddy. These would refer to subliminal music that can aid in self-improvement versus the ones that contain satanic versus or some sort.

Subliminal music that consists of positive affirmations can help in treating certain ailments or overcoming our shortcomings. Ailments like sleeping disorder, lacking of self-confidence, and quit smoking can easily be overcome, just by tuning in to the right kind of subliminal music, that you get off the shelves in some stores.  There are also subliminal messages in music  that consists of satanic verses. Famous songs would include “Hotel California” and “Stairway to Heaven”. The purposes of these satanic verses are still kept in the shadows. Though, it was speculated that Led Zeppelin used this method in Stairway to Heaven to increase his record sales.

While some find these subliminal messages in music and pictures as amusing as finding “hidden Mickey”, these subliminal messages can be pretty harmful as it is now targeting the younger generation. There is no way we can prevent it. Just be a wise consumer.

Tell me about your favorite ad on TV or in the magazine. Why do you favor it? Maybe it is the dramatic irony? Or is it the dry humor? Maybe it is just because of the sneaky subliminal techniques that these advertisers use! You sometimes find certain advertisement highly amusing, but you just can’t reason out why. Scientists term this at the “subliminal reception” whereby the subject knows he is being stimulated, but does not know what it also. And another from of subliminal reception would be when the subject responds without awareness to stimulus.

As the matter of fact, most advertisers prefer to use subliminal techniques and incorporate them into their products as it is said that these subliminal techniques are able to influence the subconscious mind of the consumer. So, even though you may not like the advertisement, the hidden subliminal images or messages might somehow trigger the interest in you, subconsciously. So, subliminal techniques, like most people agree, is like a form of brainwash every time you see an ad.

Subliminal advertising reigned popularity since 1950’s and until now, you can never fail to find subliminal messages and/or images in every major advertisements and magazine cover. The advertising industry, a prominent and powerful industry, engages in deceptive subliminal advertising which most us are unaware of.  Hit the streets or grab a magazine now and you will be bombarded with endless advertisements. However, the ones in control are the ones with knowledge, which means in this case, referring to the advertisers. Using subliminal techniques allow advertisers to bypass our subconscious mind and hence allowing them to tap into the vulnerabilities that are surrounding our unconscious mind. That is how these advertisers manipulate and control us.

So you are still in disbelief about these advertisers and their sneaky tactics? Let us explore further:

Grab a can of Diet Coke from the vending machine. Well, it looks like an ordinary Coke can doesn’t it? Script letters on white bubbles floating on a silver can. Perfectly normal. Now, turn your attention to the passion red glass on the lower left and hold the can arm’s length away. Can you see it now? It represents some kind of a sexual image! Coca-cola manages to get away with it by simply placing the image in an inconspicuous spot on the can, masked by the fizzing bubbles and bold print. Since Diet Coke is targeted at female consumers, it would seem illogical to embed female breasts onto the soda can. But according to scientists, female genitalia are directed to females while male genitalia in ads are usually directed to male audiences.

Yes, it is definitely hard to believe, especially as consumers, we are exposed to a plethora of advertisements, and we don’t even bother to give a specific advertisement a second look and search for the subliminal message/image. Advertisers are just doing their job, but as consumers, beware of dangerous subliminal images/messages, that can result in serious effects.

Listen to this. You can treat eating disorders, help in weight loss, build your confidence, curing drug addiction, quit smoking or basically, everything.

Subliminal tapes work by influencing the subconscious minds. It sends positive affirmations into your subconscious mind, which is not able to reason by itself, unlike the conscious mind. There are quite a number of ways that subliminal products send the messages into your mind, the most common being stereo confusion, reverse messages, silent sound and binaural beats. The brain, which is at the subconscious level, is believed to be able to accelerate the process of achieving our goals.

Subliminal CDs and tapes are available to you 24/7 and that is why it is highly popular among them who are always on the go. Plug on to your mp3. Turn on some subliminal music and you are on your way to self-improvement. It is that easy. These tapes are available to for everyone’s use. You can even get one for your shy child!

Worries that are stores in the subconscious mind are replaced by thousands of powerful positive affirmations. This results in achievement, success and even happiness in the long run. Subliminal programmings are sometimes used in corporate sectors, educational sectors and even in military sectors. That is one of the secrets to US’s Army tiptop performance.

Subliminal tapes are said to work much more effectively if the content of the tape is not known.  It is true that subliminal tapes can work wonders for you. Though, if you do not see any improvement, don’t give up yet. Give it some time, as some people require more time to reprogram their brain. It can take up to 2 weeks but at the end of the day, it is worth the wait.

Subliminal messages are hidden messages that are not noticeable immediately. Usually it needs some interpretation before discovering the real message. These messages exist in various forms including audio and visual messages. Usually the hidden messages are back masked in audio form. Hence, it is pretty hard to detect one, unless you have software to go along with it.

Here are just some of the examples pertaining to subliminal messages in Hollywood movies:

Part of the actual plotline in the movie “Fight Club” is itself about subliminal messaging in movies.  A scene where Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt’s character) adds frames of a penis on the screen while working as a projectionist in a movie theater.  Also it is claimed that you can see Tyler Durden for just one frame, three times before the character appears for the first time in the film.

In the movie “Gladiator” the character Maximus is taken to be killed and the word “Kennedy” flashes on the screen.  At the end when he is stabbed by Commodus, the word appears again.  You can view it with a reliable DVD player when you slow it down.

In the Disney movie Aladdin, some have heard a whispered message saying, “Good teenagers, take off your clothes.” In another Disney film, The Lion King, the word “sex” seems to form in the clouds above Samba’s head after he watches his father die.

A subliminal ghostly figure can be seen in the movie “Silence Of The Lambs”.   As the asylum director escorts Clarice into Lectern’s lair, at the bottom of a flight of stairs, they walk out of picture and for one frame you can see an ominous figure looming menacingly behind them.  Some say this was only an extra, a straitjacketed patient.  The effect, however, was undeniably of a subliminal lunge from behind.

Stanley Kubrick, in his 1999 release, “Eyes Wide Shut”, features a scene depicting a satanic ritual, where in the soundtrack one song “Masked Ball” consists of a Latin liturgy.

Of course we have to wind up with the movie “National Treasure” which is all about hidden messages.  The movie does contain some interesting messages.  For example: As the camera pans through the treasure room we can see a statue of a black bird - an homage to “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), which was another treasure hidden by a group of knights and sought after by several parties.

And here is a mini one: In the first “Spiderman” film a spooky image of the World Trade Center can be seen reflected in the eye of Spiderman.

It is pretty interesting to know that subliminal messages do exist in Hollywood movies. So, next time when you catch a movie, keep your eyes glued to the big screen and hey, who knows you will spot something interesting!

There have been claims, time and again about how some rock music tends to contain subliminal messages when they are played backwards. This would refer to backmasking, where the lyrics, were indeed masked to bring about sexual or satanic messages.

The ever popular track that gets the Satanic Song title all year round is Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven. Listeners or lovers of this song might have been enthralled with the soothing strums of the guitar as Led Zeppelin sings about the lady who is “buying the stairway to heaven.” But little did we know that if the song is played backwards, the meaning of the song gets horribly distorted.

From the lyrics of Stairway To Heaven: “If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now/It’s just a spring clean for the May Queen/Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run/There’s still time to change the road you’re on.”

Play is backwards and you will get: “Oh here’s to my sweet Satan/The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan/He will give those with him 666/There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.”

Interestingly enough there is (or was) a “Toolhouse”, known as a Satanic Church.

And as the song proceed further: “Your stairway lies on the whispering wind”

If it is played backward: “Because I like with Satan”

Usually, subliminal messages are inserted for entertainment purposes, but is was rumored that Led Zeppelin included these subliminal messages so that if these records were played backwards too many times, it would eventually spoil and hence an increase sales for them!

Another well-known example of a song with subliminal message is Eagle’s “Hotel California.”

From the lyrics of Hotel California: “There were voices down the corridor, I though I heard them say…Welcome to the Hotel California.”

Played backward: “Yeah Satan, he organized, oh, he organized his own religion. Yeah, when he knows he should, how nice it was delicious, he puts it in a vet and fixes it for his son which he gives away”

It does not really make any sense! But the “California” is actually referring to a street in Los Angeles where the first satanic church was built.

But, who listens to cassette tapes or CDs anymore? So why worry about satanic messages effecting our subconscious mind? In fact, if you were playing the song on your MP3 player, not only would you not notice the subliminal track but also it almost certainly wouldn’t be there, even if it were present on the original recording. That’s because the MP3 file format is designed to compress down in size. So worry no more. You can continue listening to Stairway To Heaven and Hotel California without turning yourself into Beelzebub.

There are many uses to subliminal. But at the end of the day, the intention of these people who wishes to use it remains. They just want to influence a big mass of people, to believe in what they have got to say/offer. Be it for the good of the people or the opposite, the use of subliminal messaging in pictures and/or music has always been popular.

In the past, when subliminal messages were first used in advertisements of products, it has caused an uproar among citizens and congressmen. These violet reactions are evident during the famous period whereby the movie theatres included subliminal images of Coca Cola across the faces of the hunky looking actors. This has effectively caused the viewers to have the desire to grab a Cola from the movie theatre. They even reported an increase in 58% of Coke sales! This is not the only example. Nowadays, with the availability of better software and programs for use; subliminal messaging is more widely used throughout famous advertisements. It is hard to detect the subliminal message in ads by giving it a quick glance. You will definitely need to ponder in front of the ad to spot for the “hidden Mickey.”

Then comes the idea of subliminal CDs. These CDs are songs that aid in self-improvement. Not only that, it is said to improve the conditions of certain ailments like bed wetting, constant fainting, anxiety attacks, and surprisingly, it can help you to improve your self-confidence too. These subliminal CDs consist of “Therapeutic” songs that have subliminal messages embedded in it. And in addition to the affirmations that are hidden, by listening to this form of songs are said to help in relieving stress! You can improve so much just by listening to a CD! The influence that it has on people is quite long lasting too. In fact, based on a research from a weight loss clinic, all of patients who are exposed to subliminal music lost much more weight, than those who did not listen to subliminal music. A lady even lost up to 100 pounds within a year!

And little did we know that our national flag is also designed such that is promotes a healthy subliminal message too! Research has shown that the subliminal presentation of a national symbol affects not only political attitudes, but also voting intentions and actual voting in general elections.  In the first experiment, the Israeli participants, divided into two groups at random, were asked about their attitudes towards core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Prior to answering these questions, half of them were exposed to subliminal images of the Israeli flag projected on a monitor and half of them were not. The results show that the former group tended to shift to the political centre.

Truly inspiring! There are plenty of uses for subliminal messaging. And most of the time, it is used to create a greater influence on a large mass. However, do also take note of the few unhealthy subliminal messages that can be found in music and pictures.

The lessons that the media conveys to those parts of the mind without conscious perception through the cartoons that people watch are referred to as subliminal messages. You will most probably freak out when you get to hear about the list about the cartoons and movies that contain subliminal messages to it! And not to mention, these subliminal messages can be pretty explicit in its contents.

In the ever-famous Disney production of Aladdin, they discovered that in one of the musical while Aladdin was singing with the Princess, if the song is played backwards, it will reveal a phrase something like “Good girls take your clothes off”. Ok, this is totally shocking. All these while, your kid has been re-watching Aladdin time and again, singing to the music and songs in  Aladdin and god forbid! Little did we realise about what he was singing actually.  There are plenty of subliminal messages in other Disney production. Some of them would include The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, just to name a few.

Lets shift our focus on cartoons. Now, which kid doesn’t love cartoons? In one of the episode of Pokemon, Meowth said, “If that’s the democratic way, I am voting Republican.” Sure, the government has decided to do some brainwashing on our kids too. When children watch cartoons, they pay attention to what is being said. When these things are said whilst watching cartoons, the child’s subconscious mind is exposed to auditory subliminal messages that they might not be able to discover but eventually become apart of their lives. Most of these messages have a negative effect on children. And also, most of the time, the messages are most common in popular cartoons.

Who doesn’t remember the lovable Spongebob Squarepants? This cartoon is still popular up to this day and new episodes are still being created. And it is only recently that people have speculated that there are certain subliminal messages found hidden in a number of episodes. People believed that Spongebob uses metaphors in place of profanity. When Spongebob is disappointed, he often yells out “Tartar Sauce”. Sounds completely normal to the kids, but to the adult ear, this may sound like its intended to represent a vulgarity. Some said that names like Crabby Patties, Mr Crabs and Squidward are subliminal names, that intend to make the viewer hungry.

There are many cartoons that have subliminal messages embedded in them. Other examples would include Rugrats where they believed that the idea of lesbianism is promoted here in Phil and Lil’s mum, Betty Deville, who always wears a bandana, hangs out with feminine woman, loves sports and yells a lot.

Every cartoon can’t be made perfectly safe for the child’s viewing and some of the verbal content may be mistaken for auditory subliminal messages. Subliminal messages are forbidden in some countries. There are no cartoons that are subliminal-proof. So, as a parent, it is up to you to decide what’s best for your child’s after-school TV show.

Subliminal CDs are there to help you in various ailments. Every CD/tape caters to different set of ailment. And not to mention, almost everything is curable with subliminal tapes. Be it for issues like bed-wetting, building confidence, and quit smoking, these subliminal tapes can help you improve your life drastically.

Subliminal tapes work by re-training your brain. As such, it will enable you to change your way of thinking and you will get to lead a better life.

Let us consider the example whereby you want to re-set your brain from years of overeating. By grabbing the right kind of subliminal CD, you can get to reduce the amount of food that your body initially craves for. As such, you will learn how to eat less. Sounds almost ridiculous doesn’t it? But it definitely worked! Shopping centres in America uses this technique too, to prevent the scaling problem of shoplifting. And true enough, by playing Muzak that was embedded with subliminal messaging like “I am honest” and “I will not steal”, reports of shop lifting has decreased drastically.

This method also works for people who want to quit smoking but just cannot seem to find the right way to do it. Just tuning to subliminal tapes can instantly eliminate craving for ciggies.

And the best is yet to come. You can even use subliminal tapes to train yourself while you are sleeping! So imagine the time and effort that you will get to save on building your self esteem when you just simply turn on a subliminal tape while you snore peacefully in your comfort zone. It is definitely a great way to catch up with those books that you meant to read, but never got the chance to.

While subliminal tapes and CDs are up for grabs on online stores like eBay, you can also choose to put your creative cap on and make your OWN subliminal tape! However, This definitely requires a LOT of time and effort, but if you do a fantastic job, your own record will be many times more effective than the ones that you can find in stores. You can read up on techniques to creating your personalized subliminal tape, but they might not be of much help. Furthermore, if you are a technology noob, forget about these software and programmes and what not. If you create a subliminal tape wrongly, beware of the problems that you might encounter.

Otherwise, if you refuse to splurge on these tapes, try searching for free subliminal mp3 (legal!) downloads online. There are quite a plenty to choose from, but if you were looking for a specific subliminal tape, you’d probably have a harder time looking.

The verdict is pretty clear as to which is the better self-help tool in the market. You might be pretty sceptical about it, but with more than enough proof to go around, you might consider tuning to subliminal tapes to help you improve your life and be a better person.

Have ever heard about patients who are under anaesthesia, that are able to hear and remember almost everything that the doctor says? While the patient’s body is not consciously awake, by hearing the doctor’s positive remark like “he’s going to be strong and healthy” the patient’s subconscious mind detect this easily and presto! He recovered more quickly indeed!

Similarly, this also goes along the theory, whereby if the patient hears a slightly negative remark from the doctor for example “he will take a few weeks to recover”, the patient will take longer to recover. This is the work of the subconscious mind. It grasp on the words, phrasing, tone of voice and emphasis on words to determine the level of effectiveness of these subliminal messages.

So you get the gist of it. Subliminal messages effects your subconscious mind and in return, it will affect your performance level, subconsciously.

Same goes to subliminal messages in music. Subliminal music is said to have the power of giving positive vibes to make a person better in various aspects in life. Subliminal music is largely used in improving one’s health, be it physically or mentally. It feels like a miracle! Subliminal music is said to aid people in relieving stress, improve confidence, make one quit smoking and also for motivation purposes.

Subliminal messages works by aiming on one’s psyche or subconscious mind. This music helps to remove unnecessary negative thought and replace is with more pleasant thinking. This pleasant thinking would then allow the person to be more motivated and hence improving his ability to think. As a result, the person would be more confident and this improves the person’s character.

It can be safely concluded that subliminal messages in music can result in the betterment of the body and soul.

As aforementioned, there are also subliminal messages in music that brings out negative messages. You would have probably heard of people like Led Zeppelin and Queen and pop queen princess Britney Spears. People have confirmed time and again about how songs from these popular artistes have “hidden messages” when some parts of the music are played backwards. Believe it or not, they are true indeed! Who would have guessed that the soothing strums of the Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin are actually filled with satanic verses!

Using subliminal music can help one to improve one’s life. The subconscious mind is something that cannot be controlled. However, we do have to try to make full use of the subconscious mind as our mind is controlled largely by what we hear and observe. Imagine, just by tuning to some subliminal music, you can change drastically into a brand new person! Easy and effective! Definitely worth the try!

Here, we are definitely not referring to subliminal messages that contain perverse or satanic liturgy. Subliminal messages in songs would refer to us as self-improvement CDs that are specially designed for people on the move. In the past, no such technology is able to support such a program for cassette tapes. But with the changing time, you can simply get your subliminal CD playing and you are on your way to a better man in no time!

By listening to subliminal CD, the mind can bring about self-healing. This is due to the fact of mind over body. Just by studying and altering the negative through patterns in the subconscious mind, you can eliminate negative thoughts. Did you know that subliminal messages could heighten you immune system and correct negative thoughts, which results in personal growth. Though, the result may vary with each individual.

Subliminal CDs are embedded with positive affirmation into the subconscious mind and because of this special ability; more people are using these subliminal CDs for medicinal and behavioral therapy sessions. They can also be used to promote a low stress environment, boosting performance and motivating attitudes.

Loyal supporters of subliminal CDS believed that they achieved their goals of improvement in self-esteem or weight loss just by letting the conscious to convince the subconscious. From a research based on a weight loss clinic, patients that were exposed to videotape and audiocassette with subliminal messages has resulted in dramatic weight loss. One woman even lost 100 pounds in one year! This is definitely a better record than that of diet programs that are not accompanied by subliminal messages.

From further tests and research, the after effect of using subliminal messages in songs has caused ailments like fainting to drop to nearly zero, smoking in the staff lounge was cut as much as 79%, and the temper flare-ups in the crowded patient waiting room to reduce by nearly 60%. It was also observed that when the subliminal messages were stopped, these problems returned to former levels.

An article in TIME magazine in 1979, titled, Secret Voices,’ reported that nearly 50 department stores in the U.S. were using subliminal messages in the music systems to reduce shoplifting and employee theft. One East Coast chain was reported to have reduced theft by 37%, amounting to the phenomenal savings of $600,000!

The use of subliminal techniques to aid in self-improvement is proven effective. This is definitely one of the best creations that deserve recognition! With more than enough proof to go around, why not give subliminal CD a try today? If it worked for them, it will definitely work for you too!
