Question about making my own 'subliminal' hynosis tracks

[infinitysymbol]

Hi, I have a question for any practising hypnotists. I have several hypnosis cd's (Glenn Harrold, Paul McKenna etc). However, I find myself getting very irritated with the repetitiveness of listening to the same hypnosis sessions every day (as is recommended by the hypnotists themselves). I also find it harder to concentrate the more I listen. I was wondering how effective it would be to over-record music that I like, such as Led Zeppelin over a hypnosis track, so as to have the track played at a low, but audible volume, like subliminal hypnosis? Would this work and is there any software that allows me to do it? How would this work if the songs have vocals? Please don't suggest that I listen to subliminal hypnosis as I find these even worse than spoken hypnosis as the music is normally like musak and really irritates me. Any suggestions would be grately appreciated!

Hi, infinitysymbol.

Hypnosis has nothing to do with repetitive listening to subliminals or to suggestions. If they are repeated suggestions, you would concentrate on them. If they are subliminals, concentrating so that you can hear the suggestions is contrary to the theory.

Note that I say "theory" because, unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge there is little or no evidence to support the efficacy of audio subliminals.

Repetition of affirmations has a lot of supporters, but if they are successful may take a long time.

So if you want to concentrate on the affirmations, you may as well use any mixing application such as the free, cross-platform Audacity. Just say them yourself and then mix them with Led Zep.

To make a true subliminal would be more difficult. You would need software that is known as a [i]vocoder[i]. A vocoder doesn't mix sounds, it uses two different sound sources to modify each other. Thus, you could put your voice in one channel and "The Immigrant Song" in the other. Blend the modification such that the music seems to be "saying" your suggestions. Then, take this new track and blend it in Audacity with the original music such that the new track can barely be heard. It will seem to vanish into the music unless you listen really hard for it. Remember, you still want to be able to hear it if you listen--that's a subliminal. If you can't hear it then it's subaudible and can't effect you in any way.

That's a lot of work for unknown success. It might take months or years before you notice any change, and you might not achieve your goals at all.

On the other hand, you might consider saving your money (instead of using all the time experimenting to get it right, get a part time job) and going to an experienced hypnotherapist who will be able to quickly help you.

Cakewalk may be able to perform this too but I would not suggest all that money for software when one could go to a hypnotist and get a real live session. I don't think Cakewalk is named Cakewalk anymore. I did have problems with Audacity. It seemed as if there were various to download from and I chose the wrong one and got a big computer "ouch". Pood

this questions has come up repeatedly in various forms on this website.

subliminals are a cruder way of instigating behavioral change.

its far more effective to ask yourself a serious of process questions designed to find out what you want,and what resources you need to get what you want.
