Affirmations are like software programs that can literally “re-wire” your brain’s programming. Actually this analogy is a lot more accurate than many people think. Calling affirmations software sounds like a metaphor, but there is more truth than just on the metaphor level.

When repeated over and over again, under the right circumstances, affirmations actually create new pathways in the brain. These new pathways change the way we think, act and react to stimuli around us.

When I first started using affirmations, I repeated each one to myself over 50 times a day. And, I might be working on up to ten affirmations at a time (hey, I wanted to change my entire life around and I didn’t want to wait).

But is shear brute force repetition the only way to get affirmations to work and do this job of creating new pathways?

  1. Record your voice. Record your own voice speaking with enthusiasm your affirmations, then you can listen to them again and again.
  2. Record your voice to music. Music allows the brain to create different states. Choose peaceful music like Johann Bach to reach an alpha state if you want to create a new belief system, or choose something powerful with a strong beat if you want to create power within yourself.

    An example might be to play Bach if you are trying to improve your golf swing and Queen if you are trying to improve your play on the football field.

  3. Write out your affirmations at least 20 times a day. The kinesthetic movements of your hands engage a different part of your brain.

    Do you remember that harsh elementary school teacher who made you write out, “I will not throw spit wads in class,” thousands of times? Actually, maybe you shouldn’t remember her since I am trying to create a positive connection to writing and self change, but you get the point that writing out affirmations really engages the brain (by the way, did you throw spit wads in class after that?)

  4. Use subliminal technology. This requires a purchase, but there are software programs that can record your affirmations at sub audible levels. Go online and you can find many great tools for subliminal audio recordings, subliminal software that plays on your computer or subliminal video messaging systems.
  5. Get another person to record your affirmations. Ask someone you respect as an authority figure or someone who you know has your best interests at heart. I knew a therapist who regularly did this for her patients and the results seemed to occur much faster than if they recorded their own voices. Make sure to change the affirmations from first person to second person.
  6. Use your affirmations as hypnotic suggestions. Learn self-hypnosis and then read the affirmations to yourself in a state of hypnosis or play your recorded voice. Self hypnosis is not difficult to learn. You can pick up a book, CD or DVD at the bookstore and be practicing it tonight. The reason hypnosis works so well is that it puts your brain into a receptive state that makes you much more suggestible. This cuts out on all the filters and skepticism your conscious imposes to challenge new ideas.

Affirmations are powerful tools to change your life. Experiment with different ways to use them and will soon find yourself putting less food on your plate, throwing away your cigarettes, making more sales or whatever change you are seeking to make in your life.

He now teaches others how to use neuro-linquistic programming (NLP), subliminal technology, self hypnosis, The Law of Attraction and other methods to make major changes in their lives.

How to make best use of your subliminal affirmation software

Subliminal affirmation software are what we refer to as computer programs that create either a visual or audio representation of your affirmations. The visual affirmations are displayed using a screen saver like tool, the only difference is that you don’t see the messages flashing on the screen because it happens too fast for your conscious mind to react to it. Your unconscious, on the other hand, has no problem whatsoever with the speed and takes it in just like anything else it is registering at the time.

When your subliminal affirmation software is creating audio, the situation is different. In this case, affirmations using subliminal audio messages are usually sound files that have the affirmations registered in a special way. The positive affirmations are coded in such a way that when you listen to the audio, you can not recognize them. However, your powerful unconscious mind is able to process the information and stores it.

The characteristic of subliminal affirmations in general is that it bypasses your conscious mind’s barriers, sending the message directly to your unconscious mind. Your unconscious mind simply takes these positive affirmations as a matter of fact and stores it along with everything else. Both audio and visual affirmations using subliminal messages work the same way, but depending on your personal case, you could have different levels of success with one or the other.

We still have a lot to discover on how the brain works but we already know that most of the processing takes place outside our awareness. subliminal affirmation software taps into this almost limitless potential and feeds you with an abundant flow of positive statements. Eventually those positive affirmations will become a part of your reality as the unconscious assumes the information to be true.

Using subliminal affirmation software to create your own subliminal affirmations can be tricky. In the same way as you should take care what you put in your body, you should do the same with what you put into your mind, especially your unconscious mind. Make sure your affirmation is positive, that it is something that you really and honestly desire and want to believe in. If your affirmations were to be true today would there be any side effects? Make sure you’re aiming at the right target because you will most likely hit it!

Most subliminal affirmation software comes with a pre-recorded set of positive affirmations. Even though you may be tempted to fire them off immediately, do yourself a favor and take a step back. More often these are so generic that they don’t light the spark necessary to bring out the necessary to bring out the change. Use your subliminal affirmation software wisely and don’t expect the software to do all the work for you. You still need to put in the time to choose your affirmations that are congruent with what you want to be. Make sure your software has the flexibility to use your own affirmations to create subliminal messages.

In the meantime, be your best,
Keir
