Crafting Subliminal Meditation Music

Subliminal meditation music is a powerful way to reach the subconscious mind. The term subliminal refers to messages that are recorded below the normal hearing threshold, so they are not consciously perceived but are thought to be absorbed by the subconscious. This type of music combines positive affirmations with relaxing melodies to help individuals achieve various goals, such as improving self-confidence, breaking bad habits, attracting love, and enhancing learning abilities. The process of creating subliminal meditation music involves recording affirmations in one's own voice, layering them with background music, and then reducing the volume of the affirmations so they are barely audible. This technique aims to bypass the conscious mind's resistance and allow the subconscious to accept the positive suggestions, leading to behavioural changes.

Recording affirmations in your own voice

Step 1: Writing the Affirmations

The first step is to identify the specific area you want to work on. For example, if you want to get a promotion at work but feel reluctant to speak up in meetings, you might need a confidence boost. It is important to keep affirmations short, positive, and in the present tense. Instead of saying, "I won't be shy anymore", affirm "I am confident in my abilities". Avoid negative words and always use the present tense, such as "I am" or "I have".

Step 2: Recording the Affirmations

There are several ways to record your affirmations. You can use text-to-speech tools, such as Microsoft Word, to transform your written affirmations into audio. Alternatively, you can use the voice recorder on your laptop or mobile phone. Simply open a new document, type your affirmation, and use the "Read Aloud" feature to have it read back to you. Copy and paste the affirmation to create a loop, then record it using your device's voice recorder.

Another option is to use a mobile phone voice recorder app. Simply open the app, say your affirmation several times, and save the recording.

For more advanced recording and editing options, you can use free audio software like Audacity. Install Audacity on your device and follow the setup instructions provided on their website. Once set up, confirm the audio settings, click the record button, and say your affirmation. When you're done, press stop, and Audacity will create an audio track of your affirmation.

Step 3: Creating the Subliminal Track

Now that you have your affirmation recording, it's time to turn it into a subliminal track. There are two main ways to do this:

Option 1: Lowering the Volume

Play your affirmation recording and use the playback volume mixer in Audacity to reduce the volume until you can barely hear your voice. This way, the affirmation becomes a subliminal message that your conscious mind cannot easily perceive, allowing it to reach your subconscious more effectively.

Option 2: Using a Plug-in

Audacity also offers a plug-in called Subliminal.NY, which is specifically designed to render recordings subliminal. To install and use this plug-in, follow the detailed instructions provided on the Audacity forum.

Step 4: Adding Background Music

Adding background music to your subliminal track can enhance its effectiveness and make it more enjoyable to listen to. Choose music that is relaxing, rousing, or inspiring, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Import your chosen music track into Audacity, ensuring it is in stereo format. Then, raise the volume to a normal level and play both tracks together to ensure they are synchronized.

If your affirmation track is shorter than the music track, you can use the "Effect" and "Repeat" functions in Audacity to repeat the affirmations so that they match the length of the background music.

Step 5: Exporting and Playing Your Recording

Finally, you'll want to export your recording so that you can play it on various devices. In Audacity, go to "File", then "Export", and choose "Export as MP3". Enter a name for your file, choose a save location, and click "OK".

Now, you can play your subliminal meditation track whenever and wherever you like—while jogging, working, driving, or even falling asleep. Combining your subliminal affirmations with the right background music will help you take a step closer to becoming the person you want to be.

Using text-to-speech engines

To create subliminal meditation music using text-to-speech engines, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Writing the Affirmations

First, identify what you want to change or improve. For example, if you want to boost your confidence, create an affirmation that focuses on that. Keep the affirmations short, positive, and in the present tense. Avoid negative words and phrases such as "don't", "can't", or "shouldn't".

Step 2: Recording the Affirmations

Option 1: Using Text-to-Speech Engines

Most devices have built-in text-to-speech features. For example, you can use Microsoft Word:

• Open a new Word document and type in your affirmation.
• Place your cursor at the beginning of the text.
• On the "Review" tab, click "Read Aloud" to hear your affirmation.
• If you're happy with it, copy and paste the affirmation over several lines to create a loop.
• Select all the text and turn on your device's voice recorder.
• Click "Read Aloud" again and record your affirmation.

Option 2: Recording with a Mobile Phone

• Open the voice recorder app on your phone.
• Record yourself saying the affirmation several times.
• Save and name your recording.

Option 3: Recording with Audacity

• Download and install Audacity, a free audio editing software.
• Set up the recording device, channel, and playback settings.
• Click the "Record" button and say your affirmation.
• Press "Stop" when done and play it back.
• To create a loop, select your speech, including a little silence at the beginning and end.
• Press "CTRL+T" to trim the recording.
• Use the "Repeat" function to repeat the affirmation multiple times.

Step 3: Creating the Subliminal Track

Option 1: Lowering the Volume

Play your affirmation and use the playback volume mixer in Audacity to reduce the volume until it's barely audible.

Option 2: Using the Subliminal.NY Plug-in

• Install the Subliminal.NY plug-in for Audacity.
• Copy and paste the plug-in code into the Nyquist prompt in Audacity.
• Save the script and install the plug-in.
• Enable the plug-in and apply the "Subliminal" effect to your recording.

Step 4: Adding Background Music

• Choose "File > Import > Audio" in Audacity.
• Search for and select the background music you want to use.
• Raise the volume to a normal level.
• Select both tracks and play them to ensure they're in sync.
• If the affirmation track is shorter, use the "Effect > Repeat" option to match the length of the background music.

Step 5: Exporting the Final Track

• Go to "File > Export > Export as MP3" in Audacity.
• Enter a file name and choose a save location.
• Click "OK" and let the exporting process run.

Now you have your subliminal meditation music ready to play and enjoy!

Lowering the volume of affirmations

For headphones and earphones, it is recommended to keep the volume at the lowest setting, unless binaural beats are incorporated into the subliminal track. Binaural beats need to be audible, as they help activate the unconscious mind and keep it in the reprogramming frequency range for a more extended period. If binaural beats are not included, the volume can be kept low, and it won't matter if the listener cannot hear the affirmations consciously.

When using speakers, the volume settings will depend on the environment and the distance from the listener. If one is in a busy environment or the speaker is placed farther away, a higher volume of 40-50% may be necessary. However, if the listener is in a quiet environment or the speaker is closer, a lower volume of around 30% should suffice.

It is worth noting that the effectiveness of subliminal messages is not solely dependent on volume but also on frequency. Subliminal affirmations should be adjusted to a frequency below the normal human hearing range, typically around 17,500 Hz. This ensures that the messages are subliminal, even if the volume is audible.

Additionally, it is recommended to use high-quality headphones or speakers to ensure the best results. Creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere is essential for the listener to fully benefit from the subliminal meditation experience.

Using the Audacity plug-in Subliminal.NY

Subliminal meditation music is a powerful way to reach the human subconscious mind, bypassing logical reasoning. Subliminal messages are widely used in radio and television commercials, and companies are investing heavily in this technology.

To make your own subliminal meditation music, you can use the free audio software Audacity, which is relatively easy to use and install.

Installing the Subliminal.NY Plug-in

Firstly, you need to install the Subliminal.NY plug-in. The plug-in code is distributed across the Audacity forum and is not available as a single download.

Go to the Audacity menu and select "Tools", then "Nyquist Prompt". Paste the following text into the prompt:

;nyquist plug-in ;version 1 ;type process ;name "Subliminal..." ;action "Subliminal..." ;control carrier "Carrier" real "Hz" 17500 14000 20000 (setf carrier (max 14000 (min carrier 20000))) ;; We have two Nyquist frequencies, carrier/2 and *sound-srate*/2. ;; The CUTOFF is the maximum allowed frequency in the modulator. ;; It must not be greater than carrier/2, but also not be greater than ;; the difference between the carrier and *sound-srate*/2, otherwise ;; the modulated carrier aliases. (setf cutoff (min (/ carrier 2.0) (- (/ *sound-srate* 2.0) carrier))) (defun cut (function sound frequency) (dotimes (ignore 10 sound) (setf sound (funcall function sound frequency)))) (defun subliminal (sound) (let ((result (mult 2 (cut #'lowpass8 (hp sound 80) cutoff) (hzosc carrier)))) (cut #'highpass8 result carrier))) (if (< *sound-srate* 44100) (princ "The track sample frequency must be minimum 44100Hz.") (multichain-expand #' subliminal s))

A "Save Nyquist Script" window will open. Search for your Audacity folder in the "Save in" field, and in the "File Name" field, type "Subliminal". The "Save as type" field should default to "Nyquist scripts (*.ny)".

Installing the Plug-in

Now, you need to install the plug-in so that you can use the Subliminal feature on future recordings. Go to the Audacity menu and select "Tools", then "Nyquist Plug-in Installer". Click "Browse" and select the "Subliminal.ny" file in the Audacity folder. Audacity will install the plug-in, and a confirmation window will appear. Click "OK".

Enabling the Plug-in

To enable the plug-in, go to the Audacity menu and choose "Tools", then "Add/Remove Plug-ins". Scroll down to the Subliminal listing, select it, and click "Enable".

Applying the Subliminal Effect

You can now apply the Subliminal effect from the menu on future recordings. Press CTRL+A to select the audio track, then go to the menu and choose "Effects". Scroll down to the Subliminal effect and apply it to your recording.

Adding Background Music

If you want to add background music to your subliminal recording, choose "File", then "Import", then "Audio". Search for the background music you want to use, select the file, and click "Open". Audacity will display two tracks: the affirmation and the music track.

Raise the volume back to a normal level and click CTRL+A to select both tracks. Click Play, and you should hear the music with the affirmation track playing at the same time.

If the affirmation track is shorter than the music track, you can repeat the affirmations to match the length of the background music. To do this, select the affirmation track, then go to "Effects" and choose "Repeat".

Exporting Your Recording

To play your recording outside of Audacity, you need to export it. Go to the menu and select "File", then "Export", then "Export as MP3". In the "File Name" field, enter a name for your file. The default location is the Audacity folder, but you can change this if you wish.

A warning window will appear; click "OK". An exporting window will appear briefly while your recording is exported.

Exiting Audacity and Saving Your Project

To exit Audacity and save your project, press CTRL+W to close the project. Click "Yes" to come back and edit the recording. A warning message will appear; click "OK" and enter a file name. Choose "File", then "Exit" to leave Audacity.

Now you know how to use the Audacity plug-in Subliminal.NY to create your own subliminal meditation music!

Adding music to the subliminal

Once you have recorded your subliminal affirmations, you can add music to the background. Choose music that is relaxing, rousing, or inspiring, depending on the purpose of your subliminal meditation. You can use royalty-free meditation music or create your own music using a digital audio workstation (DAW) such as Audacity.

First, import your recorded affirmations and the background music track into your chosen DAW. Ensure that the music track is in stereo with left and right sub-tracks. Adjust the volume of the affirmation track so that it is barely audible or inaudible beneath the music. You can do this by lowering the volume or using a plug-in like the Subliminal.NY plug-in for Audacity.

If your affirmation track is shorter than the music track, you can repeat the affirmations using the Repeat effect in Audacity or by copying and pasting the affirmations multiple times. This ensures that the affirmations play continuously throughout the length of the music track.

Finally, export your project as an MP3 or WAV file so that you can play it outside of your DAW. Now you have a subliminal meditation track with affirmations embedded in the music!

Remember to use positive affirmations that are in the present tense, such as "I am confident" or "I eat healthy snacks." Avoid negative statements or words like "don't," "can't," and "shouldn't," as these may be less effective. With regular listening, your subliminal meditation music can help influence your subconscious mind and bring about positive changes in your thoughts and behaviours.
