Hello,
In this blog, I would like to share with you my experiences with several
subliminal mp3’s audio messages. There is a lack of honest reviews on this
subject on the web, for several reasons. First, those who are making the reviews
are generally linked commercially with the companies which made the products
and it is easy to understand that they lack objectivity. Second, if during the
1950’s to 1970’s many people exaggerated the “power” of subliminal messages,
the 1990’s saw the exact opposite, as many scientists declared that the
subliminal messages were at best a placebo, at worst a fraud. As usual, between
these two extreme positions, science has its ways ! With the development of
powerful technologies, notably, the MRI, there is no doubt that audio and
visual subliminal messages have an impact on our brain and probably on our behaviour.
But the neuro sciences are only at the beginning of exploration of this
subject.
My experience with subliminal audio messages started when I wanted to
stop smoking. I did not want to use the usual nicotine patch as I did not want
to look like an addict. I did not want to use e-cigarette as I felt it was
reinforcing my addiction to nicotine even if it was much less harmful than the
real cigarette. One day, one friend told me that he saw that hypnosis, NLP and
subliminal messages could help stop smoking. I bought one mp3 with subliminal
messages, and Yes ! that worked ! It is already three years that I stopped
smoking, and I can declare it a success ! Was it because of my will power to
stop, and the subliminal messages were merely playing the role of placebo ? Or
was it because the subliminal messages were powerful and reprogramming my
subconscious mind ? I did not know, to be franck with the reader… What I knew
is that I had to explore further this aspect with an open mind and scientific
and critical mind.
So, this first experience opened for me a new field of exploration in
two different aspects of personal development:
1) Deep relaxation (and stress management)
2) Development of focus and concentration
To improve my life in these two aspects (and of my family and friends),
I bought mp3’s from different companies to have a choice as often it is boring
to listen to the same tape again and again. With this choice, I could also compare
the effects or not on me and others. From these experiences I can say:
1) The subliminal messages have a real impact which is much more than
simple placebo in my opinion. I can detect, with experience, if there are or
not messages in the same music. If there are messages, my right hand will feel
tingling sensations, warming up of some parts of the body like in a classical
verbal hypnosis session. If there is no message, I do not feel anything. One
company is selling four files with one called “silent subliminal”. When I
decided to hear this “silent” file, I felt nothing, no tingling feelings, no
warming, nothing. So I decided to open the file in the software Audacity (free
for download) and I discovered that there was a flat line, no “silent sound”.
2) Some people are more sensitive than others to subliminal messages.
Some of my friends did not have too much results with audio subliminals. These
results were better achieved and lasting with classical verbal hypnosis
sessions. But this sensitivity can be amplified, in my experience, with repeated
use of the mp3.
3) Depending of the mood of the listener, some mp3’s will do “magic” for
a certain period when others will have limited effects and vice versa.
4) Several companies are saying that mp3’s are not working as the
subliminal messages will be too compressed. If it is well done, it is as
efficient as CD’s. We suppose that these companies are afraid of piracy on the
net !
5) One important matter is that the listener must have a need to improve
this particular aspect of his life if he wants to have success. In short, I
would not have stopped smoking if I deeply did not want to stop smoking. We are
far from all the delirium about mind control etc.
We decided to do a kind of list of the best mp3’s in the two aspects
(relaxation and focus). This list is purely personal and is not scientific. It
is based on the opinion, observations and feelings of this writer, some family
members and friends of this writer. We have divided this list in four
categories :
2) The outstanding category:
In this category, we all consider that the impacts are powerful, quick
(sometimes after only one listening) and lasting (the whole day or more) for
both relaxation and focus/concentration.
3) The excellent category: In
this category, most of us have excellent results but we need to repeat
listening more often than in the first category as the effects seem to fade
after several hours.
4) The good category: Some of
us had very good results, for others it took time and for some there was
no improvement. In this category, we have also put some authors of mp3 who were
in the category “outstanding” for some products but less convincing for other
mp3’s.
This list is just a simple guide with no other purpose than to help
those who want to improve their life without falling prey to marketing technics
and experts in miracles. Of course, this list is not exhaustive as the author
has not the means to buy from all the companies… This list is a work in
progress ! Of course, in the future, we will add some more products and move a
product from one category to another one…
We are unable to give to the reader of this blog the scientific criteria of what we mean by "an excellent mp3 on subliminal relaxation" or "a powerful mp3 on subliminal concentration/focus". This list is based on feelings only. Moreover, we can not dismiss the fact that we use many mp3s and this could have a cumulative effects on our subjectivity. This means simply that some of the mp3s we consider powerful today would not have so much impact on us if we heard them first. Thus, the reader should do its own opinion. In our case, a mix of audible affirmations and subliminal affirmations in the same mp3 helped us the most.
Last but not the least, the reader should be very careful with the pseudo science and the funny claims of many companies selling subliminal mp3s/CDs. Many of them would tell the story of James Vicary, who, in 1957, claimed that he influenced people watching movies in eating more popcorn and drink more Coca Cola. These companies never mentioned that Vicary recognized years later that it was a joke to attract attention for marketing purposes. The companies would also say that the subliminal were so powerful that they were banned in the U.S during the 1970s. Well, those companies never say that they were banned ONLY in the U.S and nowhere else on the planet ! In fact, all these fancy claims on health, law of attraction, breast augmentation/reduction and many other funny things of this sort give many arguments in favor of those who criticize the subliminal audio. If I am sure of the impact of subliminal audio, I am also sure that I will not become a millionaire after listening to them for three weeks everyday or even for a year ! Thus, there is no miracle and no magic ! The subliminal audio is just an help for a person who desire a reasonable change in her life ... Nothing more, nothing less and it is already important !
Note: Since I opened this blog (2014) I have never smoked a cigarette again (I write this note in 2019) :-) And even if in a social situation I smell the cigarettes, I don't have any cravings coming back as if I am totally indifferent to tobacco... Subliminal mp3s can be powerful if there are well done !

TOP 50 OF SUBLIMINAL AUDIO
MY ACTUAL FAVOURITE MP3s:
(No particular order)
1) InnerTalk: Originally, I put InnerTalk in the "good" category and I wrote: I bought the CD's "stress free" and "relaxation" with some success, but some members of my family were not so convinced by the effects." I changed my mind when I received the title "Personal peace. It is a mix of audible hypnosis and subliminal affirmations (power imaging). It is highly efficient, with lasting results. It is to be noticed that the mp3s can be downloaded from their website which is very convenient. But If you buy the mp3, you are obliged to buy two files (music and nature) and so the price is still the same as when only the CD was available. http://www.innertalk.com/
2) David Illig (successworld): The download comes with two files. The first file is an hypnosis session (verbal) with subliminal messages. The second file is music with the subliminal messages only. The files we have tried are: Increase concentration and focus, deepen meditation, calm and relaxed, Relieve stress and anxiety. Our favorite author among all the subliminal world described in this blog. http://www.successworld.com/.
3) Thomas Budzynski: Most of his mp3's are about relaxation and stress management (nothing about focus). His work was remarkable and the mp3s always highly efficient.His former website was closed (http://www.mindbyteproducts.com/) . He is not anymore of this world.
4) Bright images subliminal: Powerful subliminal audio mixed with excellent music (one hour). Many titles on stress, relaxation, anxiety, study habit/memory/focus.
5) Binaural Beat Brainwave Subliminal System. Very cheap but very powerful programs of one hour with a lot of choice on relaxation and focus. A very good title is "stop anxiety" for example. Can be bought, for example, on CD-Baby or Amazon.
6) Hillary Evans : The hypnotherapist Hillary Evans has created a new website where you can buy hypnosis and subliminal mp3s. I highly recommend the subliminal file called "Personal Empowerment". It is my actual favorite (2019) not only for relaxation but also for positive thinking and confidence. I hope more titles will be added in the future.
https://truehypnosisdownloads.com/
7) Brainwave Entrainment Store : The programs we use, "Magical concentration" and "Calm under pressure", are powerful. One session lasts 40 minutes and is divided in three parts : a long induction of around 25 minutes with audible voices (female and male) and then, when the listener is deeply relaxed, the program starts with the affirmations in an audible form and subliminal form. There are reversed affirmations also. We do not know what are the most efficient of these affirmations (reversed affirmations are highly controversial and without any scientific evidences of their efficiency), but what we know is that each time we reach deep levels of relaxation and concentration.
http://www.brainwaveentrainmentstore.net/subliminal-suggestion/
8) Perfect-subliminal.com: We really advise the reader to try mp3s from this shop. Each title has three files. The first is the main session (30 mn), the second is only 10 minutes and can be listened to anywhere. The last is a silent file. We really enjoy listening to "the ultimate chill pill" (relaxation) and "super learning" (concentration). http://perfect-subliminal.com/catalogue
9) Charles K Bunch : The mp3s of this therapist are highly effective. You can buy them on Amazon. He has titles on relaxation but not on focus and concentration.
10) Quiet earth : Beautiful mp3s with music in one file and ocean waves in the other. The title "feeling relaxed" is very enjoyable. http://www.quietearth.org/categories/subliminal-power-series.html
11) Subliminal Today : Highly efficient mp3s. We recommend "Invincible concentration". The good thing with this shop is that they do not claim "magical powers" on their products and are honest. http://www.subliminaltoday.com/
12) Subliminal-powermp3 (John Broome) : We warmly recommend the mp3s made by this company. You can download for free the mp3 on relaxation and stress relief with the ocean waves as a background (other backgrounds are baroque music, ambient music and forest/stream sounds). This mp3 is probably one of the most powerful I have ever had in terms of deep relaxation. Do not listen to it if you are doing something which requires your attention ! I am still in the process of evaluating another mp3 on memory and focus/concentration. We appreciate also a lot the efficiency of their support to their clients, probably the best we have encountered so far. The only negative side, in my opinion, is the cost of the mp3s, one of the most expensive we have encountered so far also !!
http://subliminal-powermp3.com/
13) Subliminalpro : I discovered recently this website (2019). At first I had a negative feeling as this company was known before as subliminalmessagecds. Under this old name I bought few mp3s which were awful ! On the left ear there was music and waves and on the right ear it was silent or "silent subliminal". This difference of sounds in the two ears created in me one of the biggest headache in my life... Oups ! It was problematic as one of the mp3 was to reduce migraine !! Then a friend of mine asked me if I tried Subliminalpro. I tried and discovered that they changed their method by merging the 2 tracks into one stereo track and it was .... a real surprise ! The focus/concentration file is probably the most powerful file I have ever heard. I found myself after a few minutes in a real state of concentration, no distraction, "in the zone" would say the sportsmen or "in the groove" would say the musicians. First time I reached so easily this state. This is now the title I use when I need to be in my bubble for work. The good thing is that it is a relaxed concentration. The bad thing is one day I was using it and I was so focused I did not feel a mild earthquake (when everybody felt it)!!! The stress relief mp3 is very good but not exceptional compared to those listed in this blog.

OUTSTANDING CATEGORY:
(no particular order)
1) Atuneu : I would say that I am impressed by the impact of the mp3. I have listened to several of these mp3s notably "Offload stress". Maria McMahon has developed a system called "Cogni-fusion" which is a mix of brainwaves, hypnosis, audible suggestions and subliminal suggestions. It is really efficient for the whole day and not only for the time you listen to it. The negative side is its price, making it a real investment. Nevertheless, there are several mp3s which are free and you can already feel if it is for you or not. There is also a mp3 on "complete concentration" but I do not have it yet. http://atuneu.com
2) Charged audio subliminal. Excellent subliminal with the sound of nature in five files. http://www.chargedaudio.com/subliminal_cds.html
3) Thought Inspire: We are listening to "Excellent concentration". "Peak performance" and "relaxation". They are divided in four files, with a fifth which plays the role of amplifying your sensitivity to subliminal messages. It is just annoying that each file start by the words "thought inspire". Despite that, the results are quick to be felt. http://www.thoughtinspire.com/
4) Subliminal Guru: Subliminal Guru gives 14 files for a particular topic : 7 subliminal files with brainwave and 7 without. The seven files are with a different background : Acoustic, rain, stream, workout, relaxation, brown noise and spoken subliminal. The file "spoken subliminal" can be bought on Amazon. We listen to "Total focus", and "Total relaxation" with excellent results. http://www.subliminalguru.com/

We listen to "Total focus", and "Total relaxation" with excellent results. http://www.subliminalguru.com/
5) Jason Johns (music for change): When I listen to the relaxation file of Jason Johns, I feel the trance state nearly in seconds, really fascinating files http://musicforchange.com/
6) Bob Griswold (effective learning): The love tapes are very effective for the relaxation and stress management, from a master of NLP http://www.effectivelearning.com/
7) Paul Swingle. Most of the files of Paul Swingle are not subliminal except the title "Optima" which brings the listener into a really deep trance. http://www.swingleclinic.com/
8) Rick Collingwood: Rick Collingwood has excellent titles on stress management and concentration. His technic, starting by a classical induction (verbal) then subliminal affirmations, is very powerful.
9) Sheilah Davis: Sheilah Davis has many files free on Youtube and on her own websites. She is using supraliminal (not subliminal) affirmations highly effective on focus and relaxation.
10) Steven Halpern: The famous musician has done some very effective subliminal tapes. In my opinion, the most powerful is titled "enhancing success". It helps a lot for focus and concentration.
11) Ineedmotivation: We put Ineedmotivation originally in the "good" category but recently we decided to transfer it to the "outstanding" category, why ? Our first mp3 with this company was called "complete relaxation" but we did not have so much results with this subliminal mp3 . In fact the music or sounds are quite repetitive and boring. However, we tried several mp3's with subliminal and sounds of nature (birds, waves, crickets etc.) and the results were really outstanding. We strongly advise the mp3's called "Live in the moment" ," Brain power", "Quiet your mind", "Don't be distracted". This last title is really powerful and makes the listener in a real laser focus state. http://www.ineedmotivation.com/
12) Ultra Hypnosis : The mp3s are recorded by Gill and Kerin Webb and Andrea Lindsay. The package comes with two main files : one is a hypnosis session file mixed with subliminal messages and different special effects and the second is a file of music with the subliminal messages. I listen everyday to the files "Saying goodbye to anxiety", "Saying goodbye to stress" and "Learn and remember" (with impact on concentration and focus). They are great, with long lasting and deep results. If I had to choose one file among all the 40 files described on this blog, I would say without doubt that I would keep the file "Saying goodbye to anxiety" from Kerin Webb. I have not found, up to now, a subliminal file with such an impact. You can find these files on tradebit.com or http://www.eosseminars.com/index.php/ultra-hypnosis-audios-hypnotherapy-mp3-downloads
13) Daniel Olson: We have very recently discovered the work of the hypnotherapist from Orlando, Daniel Olson. We highly recommend his subliminal products. The titles on his website are CDs. You can buy also his mp3s by emailing him. Daniel Olson has developed a system he called "Neuro-Acceleration Subliminals" by using the Tomatis effect. We are using, among others, the files on stress release and focus/concentration. It is probably one of the rare cases I can say that the subliminal effects are lasting long after listening. If I listen to the stress relief, for example (the file is one hour), then I can just use the trigger word "relax" and the relaxation will come back, even several hours after listening. The file on focus and concentration is not on his website (just email your request) . However, if the quality is very high, the price also ! http://www.danielolson.com/
EXCELLENT CATEGORY
(No particular order)
1) Jennifer Kelberman: Excellent files for concentration (3 files with music of Mozart, binaural beats and verbal hypnosis). Can be found, for example, on CD-Baby.
2) Andrew Dobson (Mindfit): Subliminal with water sound. The files are effective but short (20 minutes). You can have also the files with a classical hypnosis http://www.mindfithypnosis.com/

3) Mindmp3: I have very good results with this company. There are six files per pack (rain, city, water, forest, wind and one silent). The author should, nevertheless, improve the downloading system which is not working very well all the time. The quality and results are excellent. You can try for free two files on stress management. http://mindmp3.com/subliminal_mp3_catalog.php
4) Subliminal-cds: We highly recommend the mp3's of this company. Very successful with these files and we bought others not linked to relaxation or concentration. We have hesitated to put this company in the outstanding category. The choice is always difficult. http://www.subliminal-cds.com/subliminal/
5) Peter James Haviland : Powerful subliminal affirmations for stress management and anxiety relief... and it is free !! I advise you to test your sensibility to subliminal messages by using these wonderfully made files. http://www.redoakhypnosis.com/
6) Dr. Lee Pulos : Most of the files of Dr Lee Pulos are pure hypnosis but few of them have also subliminal messages (for example the one on concentration) http://drpulos.com/
7) Speedzen: Speedzen has excellent files, like the one on stress management. It has also many files which are free, so try them.http://www.speedzen.com/
8) Sprudio: Has many choices for one particular aspect (music, ocean sound or silent). You can download many files for free. http://www.sprudio.com/
9) Karin leonard: Probably Karin leonard made the best subliminal relaxation mp3 I have ever heard ("Deep relaxation, recharge at core"). http://www.innerevolution.com/audiotapes.html
10) Real subliminal: The products are excellent except the silent file which is really silent ! As we have said above, when passed in the software Audacity, we can see only a flat line... nevertheless the four other files (ocean) are of excellent quality and efficient. One of the biggest company of the web should be more careful ! http://www.realsubliminal.com/
11) Subliminal works: We had an excellent result with the mp3's "stay alert" and "relax"
http://www.subliminalswork.com/
12) Rick McFall: Beautiful files. We recommend "Inner Peace".
http://unitedhypno.com/drrpm01.html
13) Subliminalmp3: There are five files in one pack (wind, thunder, ocean, fire and one silent). I enjoy particularly the fire. The silent file is working well :-)
http://www.subliminalmp3s.com/
14) Subliminal Mind Expansion: They have very good programs on stress relief, and focus. They can be bought on Amazon and they are cheap !
15) Personal subliminal messages programs: Very good for concentration and relaxation, particularly the file with jungle sounds. Can be bought on Spotify, ITunes etc.

http://www.brainsync.com/about-subliminal-audio-programs.html.html.html
11) Dr Laura de Giorgio (Deep Trance Now): We have tried "deep relaxation" and "focus concentration". In both cases we had excellent results with the supraliminal mp3's not so much with the subliminal mp3's. The hypnosis sessions (audible) are excellent. Laura de Giorgio is not anymore of this world.
12) Steve G Jones : We have tried several mp3's on "focus and concentration" : The hypnosis session, hypno-fusion (backward and high speed messages), subliminal, paraliminal and omniliminal. The cost is expensive and we could not listen to the titles on relaxation. The hypnosis session is very long (1 hour) but with only few minutes focused on the main topics (concentration). The only mp3 with a real impact on us was the Omniliminal (but everything is audible).
