Subliminal recordings are quite easy to do. Sure, as with anything technical, there’s some mystique surrounding its creation, but you can safely ignore that kind of voodoo and just create your own messages to help change things for the better in your life. Because naturally you wouldn’t be doing this for less than honorable purposes.

Write your message

This is the most important part of the process.

You need to take some time with the words you want to record and reproduce them subliminally.

Aim for 10-20 affirmations that you want to use to improve your life.

Stay focused on one main topic instead of being giddy about it!

Affirmations should be written in positive words. They can be in the present tense, that works well. Or they can be in the future tense, which sometimes works but isn’t as good as a present tense statement.

Another way is to include the words “I allow myself” in your affirmations. That’s a great way to put the words you’re going to record in the present tense without causing a disconnect when your subconscious mind hears the words.

The program I use to do this is called Audacity.

It’s free but very well supported and works great.

You can get very technical with it – I’ve seen paid software that has less functionality, but in practice you’ll only need a handful of features.

The first is the record button (I told you it was easy!).

I find it best to read the affirmations I’m about to record out loud a couple of times before I start recording.

Then read them aloud, pausing for a few seconds between each one.

Once you’ve read your affirmations, hit the stop button.

Then select the recording and use Audacity’s built-in copy and paste function to repeat them the necessary number of times until your audio is the length you want. Ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes everything works fine.

Save your track.

Just in case.

Then select your entire track and choose the Effect menu. There is an option called “amplify” and you will use this to reduce the volume of the track – experiment and choose a level that is barely audible.

Then add a backing track.

I like to use a royalty free track. You can pick them up cheaply on Amazon or there are sites that offer them at prices from free upwards.

Add the backing track as a bonus track in Audacity.

Then save it again: It’s a computer program, so the save option is always sensible.

Then export the track in MP3 format.

Keep the MP3 specification as high as possible: MP3 is what’s known as “lossy” compression, which means it saves hard drive space by getting rid of things we don’t consciously listen to. Which you can include your subliminal track if you get too aggressive with settings that affect file size.

Then it’s just a matter of putting the track into your MP3 player and hitting play.

Congratulations, you’ve just created your own personalized subliminal recording!
