Different Types of Recordings

Hypnosis recordings are entirely audible throughout. Most hypnosis recordings require your active mental participation. This is particularly true when you are working with recordings which contain techniques from Neuro-Linguistic Programming or different esoteric disciplines and also when you are working with generic recordings where it is left up to you when, where and to what extent you desire to apply the techniques you are mastering.

In most cases - for best and fastest results - you should work with hypnosis recordings or with some form of self-hypnosis and use one of the following: subliminal, supraliminal or supraliminal plus CDs. Ideally, you should use subliminal, supraliminal or supraliminal plus CDs to reinforce the work you did in your self-hypnosis session. You can get desired results working only with hypnosis recordings or only with subliminal, supraliminal or supraliminal plus CDs - but using appropriate assortment of techniques provided through hypnosis recordings in conjunction with suggestions which are directly impressed upon your subconscious mind will bring you the fastest results.

Recordings Designed to Impress Suggestions Directly Upon Your Subconscious Mind

Subliminal, Supraliminal and Supraliminal Plus recordings are designed to impress powerful suggestions for transformation directly upon your subconscious mind.

Most Subliminal and ALL Supraliminal recordings contain suggestions recorded once at an audible level, so that you can hear them and then the suggestions are gradually masked by music.

Subliminal Recordings

On Subliminal recordings, the suggestions are placed at a low volume of minus 15 – 20 db, in order to bypass your conscious awareness and go directly to your subconscious.

The earliest version of subliminal recordings I made had only subliminal messages which were entirely masked by music. This was puzzling to some people who were not familiar with subliminal recordings. Some wondered if there were any messages there, while others thought that the messages are coded in the music they hear.

The next version included one audible track at the beginning of the recording which was then gradually masked by music so that one could hear what happens to suggestions. For the rest of the recording one could consciously hear only music and subliminal messages were entirely masked by music.

The newest version of subliminal recordings - as of June 2005 - still contains the messages recorded once at an audible level so that you can hear them, as well as subliminal track throughout the recording. The music is placed at a slightly lower volume than on the previous recordings so that at certain points throughout the recording where the volume of music gets very low you can actually consciously hear few words from the subliminal track. This is done mainly as assurance for your conscious mind - that the messages are indeed there.

Supraliminal Recordings

On most Supraliminal recordings, the suggestions are placed at a high volume of 100 db. On recordings which are designed to help you relax, supraliminal suggestions are placed at 0 - 40 db. All supraliminal suggestions are placed at a very high frequency of 15.5 kHz. Due to high frequency, even though the suggestions on most recordings are very loud, they are inaudible to your conscious mind, and therefore bypass your conscious awareness and go directly to your subconscious mind.

New Version of Supraliminal Recordings - In June 2005, I have begun replacing old versions of supraliminal recordings with a new version. The new version of supraliminal recordings has both subliminal and supraliminal tracks included on supraliminal recordings. The volume of music is somewhat lower and at a lower points of music, you may be able to distinguish few words from the subliminal track of the recording.

You would still most likely not be able to distinguish the suggestions on the supraliminal track because they are placed at a very high frequency, but depending on your awareness and sensitivity to energy, you may feel a slight pressure when listening to supraliminal recordings, somewhat similar to what some people feel when changing altitudes in an airplane.

While some people are now aware of any sensation when listening to supraliminal recordings, some find them too powerful and may prefer to work with subliminal recordings which contain subliminal track only. Subliminal recordings are much gentler, but also the results take longer time to experience. Supraliminal recordings are much more powerful than subliminals and they help to get the desired results much faster.

Supraliminal Plus Recordings

Supraliminal Plus recordings contain embedded supraliminal suggestions, and they also contain suggestions which are audible throughout the recording. The audible suggestions are placed on two channels and at different intervals, so that two sets of different messages are simultaneously delivered to your left and right ear. Even though you can consciously hear the suggestions, the suggestions which you are not attending to consciously, will bypass your conscious awareness and go directly to your subconscious. This technology works powerfully because it engages both your conscious and subconscious mind. You must listen to these recordings with stereo headphones.

Brainwave Entrainment Recordings

Brainwave Entrainment recordings contain only music - without any suggestions - designed to synchronize left and right hemispheres of your brain and to help you enter the optimal states of mind for desired activities, such as focus and concentration, learning, meditation, creative problem solving, lucid dreaming, falling asleep, etc. You can have them playing in the background while engaging in desired activity.

Audio Visual Stimulation Enhancement

Audio Visual Stimulation Enhancement enables you to play your hypnosis, subliminal, supraliminal, supraliimnal or brainwave entrainment CDs in Light and Sound machines like David, Orion, Sirius, Zen Master, Nova, and others.

How to Choose the Type of Recordings Which is Right for You

If you looked at the materials in these recordings as "food for the mind", hypnosis recordings would be the "main meal", while subliminal, supraliminal and supraliminal plus recordings would be "supplement boosters".

Hypnosis recordings guide you through techniques for accomplishing different things, while subliminal, supraliminal and supraliminal plus recordings are designed to reinforce those ideas.

If you already know "how" to do something and you only need a booster, or if you are using other methods to practice self-hypnosis, then listening only to subliminal, supraliminal or supraliminal plus recordings may be enough for you.

You may look upon all the recordings as tools. Hypnosis recordings are primarily teaching tools which help you to get into a trance-like state of mind through relaxation and then apply appropriate techniques. Once you have learned the technique and you are able to shirt into a trance-like state of mind merely by intending it, it is up to you whether you still want to use hypnosis recordings, or just do it on your own in your own way. If you were to read through Deep Trance Now newsletter articles, you could find many self-hypnosis techniques which do not require the use of recordings.

Whether you practice self-hypnosis with recordings or in your own way, it is important to use some form of self-hypnosis when working on your goals. Self-hypnosis gets you into a state of mind where you experience your desired outcome in your emotions as if it were real for you in the present moment. Some people do this spontaneously when they contemplate their goals and dreams - even if they don't know anything about the principles of self-hypnosis, they are nevertheless using them unconsciously by vividly experiencing their goals as real in the present moment, and that may be all the self-hypnosis practice they need for their purposes.

Once your goal has been programmed in your subconscious and you do have all the "know-how", but merely need a booster (much like a car or a musical instrument needs a tune-up every once in a while), listening only to subliminal, supraliminal or supraliminal plus recordings may do the trick for you.

How to Use the Recordings

I recommend that you listen to your recordings at least once a day, with stereo headphones, UNTIL you get the desired results.

You can also have these recordings play softly in the background throughout the day while you are engaged in other activities, or even while you’re sleeping. The more often you listen to them, the faster results you may experience.

How Long Does it Take to Get the Desired Results

Sometimes I get emails from people who have just placed order for some recordings and have promptly experienced some miraculous changes before they even listened to recordings. What happens here is that, while looking through different recordings, and contemplating the issue, the person has begun to envision the problem solved. By ordering the CDs, the person has in effect communicated to his subconscious that he definitely does want to have that change and has therefore opened his mind to experience that change, allowing it to happen and it happened.

Sometimes people just read an article or a book - perhaps about lucid dreaming, and they experience lucid dream that very same night. While they were reading about lucid dreaming, they contemplated it, they envisioned themselves having lucid dream, they opened themselves to the possibility of such experience, allowing it to happen and it happened - effortlessly.

Sometimes people decide to lose weight, pick one statement as reinforcement, perhaps "with my every breath I am becoming slimmer and slimmer" and they start to lose weight no matter what they eat. They have desire, motivation, conviction and they feel entirely congruent mentally and emotionally about losing weight and about this being easy and effortless for them. Many people can also quit smoking or get rid of other problems just like that - by deciding to have it over it. For many other people, it is not as easy and fast mainly because most other people have mixed bag of conflicting thoughts and emotions regarding the issue they'd like to have solved.

Each one of us is at any given point in time experiencing our predominant thoughts, emotions, beliefs. When whatever is our desired outcome becomes predominant idea in our minds, we can have the result immediately.

It doesn't matter what happened in your life yesterday, or who did what to you over the past 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years - it matters what's the predominant idea in your mind and heart this very moment. The sooner you wholeheartedly engage in contemplating and subjectively experiencing your desired outcome as if it were real for you in the present moment, the sooner will it become true in your objective experience.

And always remember: What your mind can conceive, you can achieve - if you’re willing to make what you've conceived, the predominant idea in your mind and in your heart.
