1. It is instant: One of main ways subliminal messaging is portrayed is as an instant fix. This, sadly, is not the case. While there will be a few lucky people who experience a benefit very soon after listening, they are in the minority. Subliminal messaging works better in the longer term, when the messages really start to build in your mind. Generally early experiences may range from you feeling more energized and focused to experiencing a clarity of mind and a burst of motivation.

However, in the longer term you should experience a larger shift in your perception and beliefs and a solid, lasting change in your
behavior.

Of course it also depends on the type of album you are using. If it is a personal development type of album addressing a deep personal issue then it will likely be a gradual change. Albums with more instant results are ones such as albums in our relaxation range, and even our positive attitude album - these albums are meant to focus you straight away and give you a boost there and then - i.e. help you to relax, or help you to think more
positive.

2. You lose control: Some people are worried that they will lose control, or could even be made to do things against their will. Nothing could be further from the truth. Unlike traditional hypnosis for example you will stay conscious and in full control throughout the experience.

You can never be made to do something you don't want to do. You actually keep full control at all times - i.e. if you do not fully want the change and are not focusing on it happening then it won't. We give the disclaimer that you should not use the albums on other people, but this is mainly a legal requirement as using subliminal messages on other people is deemed to be manipulative - but the truth is that if you do not want the change, or you don't want to do something then you can't be made to do it. It will only ever help, or give you a boost towards goals you do want to achieve.

3. You enter a trance: Unlike hypnosis you will NOT enter a trance at all. You will
be fully conscious while listening. This means you can listen on the move, while studying, exercising etc - you can fit the album into your day as you prefer. We still recommend not listening while driving however, as even though you will not enter a trance there are suggestions to help you relax and calm your mind.

4. They are illegal: This is an exaggeration. The only instance they are not allowed is within advertising or to manipulate others without their knowledge. For personal use subliminal messages are completely legal. The key is that you have to be aware that subliminal messages are being used and consent to them - but if you are using them on yourself, to overcome problems and help you achieve goals then there is no problem at all.

5. They are dangerous: Although it is true that they are banned from within
advertising due to the potential to manipulate people against their will, the label of them being "dangerous" is irrelevant when positive messages are used for personal use. You will never be in any danger from our albums, they will only ever produce a positive result.

6. The can contain negative messages: In relation to the point above, all of our
albums only contain positive statements. We have strict quality control over the messages we use. You can also read every message we use on each album page to make sure they are a good fit for you. Some people are still skeptical, wondering "perhaps they contain messages like 'buy more subliminals' or just 'I love subliminals'?".

We certainly don't do this, and we have never heard of any company doing this to be honest. Even if they were to be used we don't think it would produce the desired effect. If an immoral company did include these types of messages yet the album still did not achieve it's primary purpose then it is unlikely that you would buy more subliminals - you still have control and the ability to think logically that the album didn't work for you.

7. They require no further effort: We've saved this one till last - it is a double
edged sword for us, it is one of the things which attracts people to subliminal messaging, but at the same time it is an exaggeration, and not strictly true.

The bottom line is that if you ONLY use a subliminal album, i.e. without taking any
conscious action or working towards your goal - then you will not get a very positive result. Subliminal albums are simply meant as an aid - a tool to help you reach your goal, but not do it all for you. Subliminal messages work in several ways, but primarily they align your mind to your goals - to make you focused, committed, and more motivated, to make sure you stay on track and go all out to achieve success. If you do not put in this primary level of effort to work towards a change to start with then the subliminal messages will only have a limited effect.
