What is Subliminal Hypnosis?

Here is a quick introduction to subliminal hypnosis - what it is and what it can do for you. There is some confusion as to what this exactly is as subliminal messaging and hypnosis are actually different ways of improving your mind / overcoming problems etc.. First of all here are 2 definitions:
- Hypnosis: Is where someone goes into a a trance like state; a state in which they have a heightened suggestibility and do not have the ability to think logically. In this state the subconscious mind is easily accessed. This is usually done with the use of subtle suggestions in a hypnotic tone of voice - designed to ease you into state of trance.
- Subliminal Messaging: Is also a means to access the subconscious mind and bypasses your critical thinking function. Just as hypnotherapy does it too implants suggestions and thoughts into your mind - the main difference being that you won’t go into a deep trance, and you will not register each subliminal message as it enters your brain. Subliminal messaging isually conducted through the use of music - the suggestions are embedded in the background.
So.. just what is subliminal hypnosis?
The term is a little fuzzy and generally means different things to different people.
Officially subliminal hypnosis is where you enter a mini trance state without meaning to i.e. you enter it subliminally. This might sound weird but we are continously go in and out of trance states all day long - when reading, writing, exercising riding the bus etc.
It is easy to explain with the example of watching television. We become engrossed in the tv and enter a type of trance. We are unaware of our surroundings to an extent, and if we are particularly engrossed we may not properly register a question we are asked in real life, or there might be a delay in our response.
Also typically tv advertisements are generally louder than the show which you were just watching - this takes you out of your trance, and gets your attention on the advert. Then, with various techniques of music, flashing lights, colours, or by overloading the senses they attempt to put you into another mini trance - if you are only focusing on the advert and in a bit of a trance then the advert will do better.
However, with the increase in the use of both hypnotherapy cds and subliminals it has actually started to get used to refer to either pure hypnosis or subliminal messaging. This is not 100% correct, and it is in fact a little misleading. When people ask us about our subliminal hypnosis albums we have to clearly say what our albums do and don’t do.
Our albums are pure subliminal messaging - this has advantages and disadvantages over classical hypnosis - subliminals are more gradual - they don’t put you into a deep trance - meaning you will be able to make changes internally while going about your normal day.
