So, you see, it's not all bad and stuff. Some people are actually NOT trying to brainwash us into a state of mindless consumerism or force sexual ideas into our young impressionable minds.
After the great scare of subliminal messaging faded away as more and more evidence popped up showing they are not as effective as they were thought to be, a new market suddenly flourished: self-helping subliminal messaging tutorials. These consist of the typical techniques that have been discussed previously (like rapidly flashing images, or listening to a recording while asleep), which promote positive attitudes or behaviors, with everything from weight loss to proactive thinking and anything in between. I'll link a couple of sites that sell (and sometimes offer free trials, because let’s face it, we all love free stuff). There also is a counterpart which concentrates on eliminating your bad habits, like smoking or other, unimportant things like nail biting and stuff.
Anyway, there is also controversy about the usefulness of these tactics. They have yet to be scientifically proven to work, and although most sites claim that studies show that they do have an effect on customers, it’s usually biased or not properly done. For example, it might be true that people who listen to a 30-minute audio clip a night about weight loss actually shed some pounds, but it results of comparing a person who is willing to pay to do something about his weight against someone who is not. I’m not outright discrediting what these sites claim; I’m just suggesting, you take it with a grain of salt.
If you by chance decide to see for yourself if these messages work or not, might I suggest that you be very careful around the internet. We all know it can be a dangerous place, but in my search for websites that sell these products, I ran into a lot of suspicious looking ones. Rule of thumb: this stuff ain’t free. Unless it’s a free trial, with a limited time window or only a small section of the program, do not expect to get it for free. If you see an offer for a free program, it is very probably a spyware or malware bot, if not a full blown, hard hitting, disk wiping, porn downloading virus.
