Does subliminal messaging work?...

depends on who you ask and what form the messaging takes.

While puttering around on the the interwebz a few weeks ago, I bumped into some YouTube vids on subliminal messaging.

Ummmm – no.  Don’t think I’ll imbibe.  What if the messages are encouraging me to rob a bank or take up pole dancing?  I thought about that for awhile and realized both things were unlikely to happen based on a subliminal message.  Just as in hypnosis, a person cannot be persuaded to do that which is contrary to who they are or what they believe.

I’m always searching for ways to get motivated, be more organized, and just be a better person.  One way I’ve found is to read books about inspiring women, both in biography and novels (non of whom don fuzzy pink hats and spew obscenities.)

So I did my due diligence and discovered absolutely nothing except everyone disagrees as to the effectiveness of audio subliminal messaging.

The following video is by Thomas Hall and has been “viewed” close to 250K times.  Mr. Hall has a number of other videos available, as do many other people.

So why did I pick this one to try?

Reason number one is that he’s not trying to sell anything.  Why someone would choose to make these videos and post them free of charge is puzzling, but his motives might be good (I’m always the skeptic)

Number two was the large number of people who had watched the vid. 

Number three is his actually taking the time to answer questions and comments on YouTube.  In a world where few, if any, people even respond to comments on their blogs, that was bigly for me.

Okay, the skeptical mind jumped in here and said, “What if there’s nothing actually on this video except woo woo music?  If I can’t consciously hear the messages, how the heck do I know they’re present in the background? “

Good question.

I don’t.

 So I sayeth to self, “Quit overthinking this and just play the dang thing and see what happens.”

So I did.

Next thing I know I have an overwhelming desire to get moving – do stuff.

Really.

Creepy, I know.

Now almost every morning I start this up, plop it in my tabs, and continue on with my work while it plays in the background.

Placebo effect?

Maybe.

I listed below the affirmations that are supposed to be in the video.  I still don’t know if they’re there, and I don’t care.  It seems to work.
