The Official Subliminal Messaging Blog

Definition: The term “Subliminal” comes from the Latin of “Sub” – meaning below and “Limen” – meaning threshold. In its simplest form it translates as “below threshold”.

To explain this a little better the word subliminal can be used to describe anything which is transmitted beyond the threshold of our perception. There are various types of subliminal messages – from text, to images, to subliminal audio.

Text:

Text based messages are basically written information which is displayed faster than the eye can see – these can be used in tv / cinema – i.e. flashing a text based message for 1 tenth of a second, similarly they could be used in screen savers, or subliminal computer programs.

Images:

Similarly to text messages images can be displayed for a short period of time, again embedded in videos. The Disney subliminal messages are famous and often use either fast text or flashed images.

Audio:

These consist of any audio message that has been manipulated so that we would not be directly aware of it – either at a higher frequency or lower frequency than the range of physical human hearing, or hidden behind music so they are not clear, as well as other methods such as playing the message in reverse.

Audio based messages are the most common form of messaging available for personal use, and that is what we specialise in – with over 200 subliminal cds and mp3s available.
