Although many people may not be aware of it, subliminal suggestion has been used for thousands of years by individuals, governments, and advertisers. In many cases the individuals who use this technique are not doing so intentionally but feel that they have the unique ability to persuade others to their point of view naturally.
Hypnotherapists use suggestion when they are performing hypnosis on an individual. Their goal is to relax a person into a state where they can receive a suggestion at the subconscious level and begin to change their lifestyle or behavior. Subliminal suggestion works much the same way. Advertisers have found that people who go to the theatre and are enjoying a movie are relaxed and open to suggestion.
A movie is made up of a series of frames that run very fast. Each frame is registered by the brain in the subconscious although consciously one sees a film as a seamless and continuous series of action and dialogue. The conscious mind will not register when a frame in a movie is altered. This allows advertisers to insert a subliminal message into a frame in a move that will create the suggestion to the viewer that they want popcorn, soda, candy, cars, or any other product that the advertiser may be selling.
The US government recognized the validity of the argument that purposefully placing subliminal messages in media was not right and created strict regulations regarding it's use in TV, radio and other areas that the FCC had jurisdiction over. This has impacted the length of many movies as they have been moved from the theatre to television. Prior to showing a movie on television all subliminal messages must be removed from the film.
Subliminal messages are extremely effective for parents who may have children that are exhibiting behavior issues or other problems. After trying many other techniques and methods that may prove unsuccessful one can try a simple technique to create a suggestion that will help with the problem.
One way is to go into a child's room when they have gone to sleep and gently whisper in their ear, "When you see a red can you will want to....(study, be happy, etc.)" This statement is not repeated, just said once very quietly. The key to success of subliminal messages is that they are short and the conscious mind is not aware of the suggestion. One will often find that after a few days they will notice a change without any effort on the part of the person making the suggestion.
