The following is an excerpt from my subliminal guide. The message is an important one, and one worth sharing for all to see, so I’ve decided to do just that.
“While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to change up your look or enhance certain features from time-to-time, it’s no secret that many turn to subliminals - as well as the other numerous manifestation methods out there - as a result of low self-esteem and the burden on mental health that comes along with it. We live at a time when there is an abundance of external programming caused by marketing, social media, and negative experiences with others who have also been influenced by this programming. It can also be very difficult to avoid exposure to these things, and that is no fault of our own. For this reason, though, I do want to very much urge anyone who is interested in manifesting physical changes to acknowledge your current level of self-esteem when in a state of desire for these things and to work on promoting a good sense of self-esteem and self-love before jumping right into it. There are many subliminals out there specifically intended to bring out a healthier mindset. The use of such subliminals will also naturally lead to better future results overall simply due to a boosted confidence in our looks and our abilities. To consider even just using them alongside your desired beauty subliminals would, I feel, have a wonderfully positive impact on your life overall. Though I do not want anyone to feel like they are forced to do so, it is certainly something I want to encourage. My mission has always been one of positivity, and I care very deeply for everyone’s wellbeing. It is also very important, I think, to be mindful of the potential of forming an addiction in regards to manifesting not just physical changes, but manifestation in general. Addictions of any kind can become harmful to us very quickly by causing us to obsess, causing us to feel constantly dissatisfied, and causing us to shift our priorities in a way that begins to neglect important responsibilities. It is my belief that subliminals are best used as a supplemental tool. I use them in tandem with physical, hands-on efforts and other beneficial energy workings also intended to improve my well-being and my health and productivity habits. It is perfectly fine if subliminals are your primary tool for manifestation, but I would also say that it is very possible that broadening your horizons and balancing out your life and your practice could yield an incredible boost in benefits. I also want to offer a word specifically to the minors of this community, because I know there are many of you, and many of you were drawn here due to these insecurities that so many of us in the world have also suffered from, especially in the days of our adolescence, as you are now. Perhaps, as this society grows more and more manufactured, artificial, and edited to so-called “perfection”, you have it a bit worse than some of us did, and my heart truly goes out to you on that difficult journey. To you, I say please do your very best to see past this veil of artificial lies. Practice positive self-talk every single day if you are able, and do not let anyone convince you that you are worth any less than you are. Each and every one of you are beautiful and vibrant and unique - everything that makes this world so wonderful to live in. You have so much to offer, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now. If you’re having a hard time believing this, that is alright, too. Take your time. Take it easy. One day, things will click for you. Keep trying. Keep fighting. Remember that bad days will happen, but good days will, too. There are those who may consider calling me a hypocrite since I admit to also having struggled with self-esteem. Some days, I still do, but I’m getting better every day. The bad days that I have from time-to-time do not erase the progress that I’ve made leading up to them. Perhaps you even think that it’s silly of me to bring this topic up since I have created many beauty subliminals for others to use. Again, I do not think that desiring change or seeking to enhance certain features is inherently bad. It all depends on your reasoning for seeking these changes. I also think that manifestation for these purposes is a lot safer and cheaper than many of the other methods out there. Still, there will be those who dismiss or disagree with the things I am saying here. As always, I am fine with these differing opinions. I hope no one takes this to be an insult towards your personal goals, prerogative, or methods of manifestation - rather this is simply a message that my heart has urged me to share for those who may be struggling. You are all wonderful beings, each one of you, including those who may be reading this with skepticism or with some sort of distaste for me for whatever reason that may be. I have so much love in my heart, and I hope that, if nothing else, that love alone is able to somewhat radiate through these words. You deserve that love. You deserve happiness and success and abundance. You deserve to leave these words feeling worthy.”

The Problem at HandLately, I’ve seen a lot of community parroting in regards to the concept of “limiting beliefs”. Often, this parroting comes in the form of angry and holier-than-thou comments in response to subliminal creators discussing tips and advice for effectively utilizing subliminals, claiming that these things are simply limiting beliefs in need of immediate extermination from community discussion. “Subliminals will work no matter what,” they say. While this general idea may very well be the bottom line, a quick glance at the community paints a bit of a different picture - one of common struggles and common solutions, solutions of which are now given as a general rule of thumb for effective listening by subliminal creators. Truthfully, I think these people do feel that they are being helpful in leaving comments like these, even despite some of the harsher deliveries. After all, their ultimate goal is to get everyone on-board with how powerful they are. However, I do think that it is also worth considering the risk this runs of, ironically, creating limiting beliefs within individuals who do find difficulty manifesting instantaneously - which, thanks to a lot of the deeply-embedded programming instilled in us since a very young age, is most of us. This is okay, and these people can absolutely get to the point of instantaneous manifestation with just a little bit of effort to break past those barriers. The commonly-shared advice out there plays a key role in this process by rewiring the mindset and offering experiences and sensations to refer back to when manifesting independently. In all my time studying and practice with magick and energy work and manifestation, I have seen many a “failed” manifestor who were lead to believe, by those out there who were more experienced or by those who did indeed have the gift of instant success, that they should also be able to manifest instantly. In doing so, their efforts were rushed. They did not learn what energy feels like. They were not familiar with any of the theories seeking to unpack why things worked the way that they did. “Think about it, and it will be.” They followed that instruction to the letter - perhaps some even believing then, with great faith, that this would work out for them. When it didn’t, they would give up on the practice entirely, either thinking it to be a total sham or simply thinking they were incapable because they couldn’t manifest instantly like so many others seemed to be able to. This is my worry for the subliminal community when it comes to our delivery of concepts like the one discussed in this post. Tools and SupplementsI’d like to bring up another parallel with other “occult” practices. Many of the texts out there regarding magick that are intended for beginners will start you off with a handful of tools to be used in different ways that symbolize different things. If the book is a thorough one, it will also offer explanation along with these recommendations. This also goes for things like crystals and herbs and the like. While you are capable of magick without any of these tools at all, many of them offer their own unique energies and/or contain symbolism that is already programmed into the collective in such a way that it helps you to more easily tune into those particular energies. After developing an understanding and becoming energetically familiar with the tools, most practitioners will begin to form new correspondences based on their own interpretations and symbolism. Some have even decided to throw out the tools altogether. Regardless, these tools are where most of us had to begin to build the proper mindset to break down the programming and realize - truly realize - our potential as powerful creators within this realm. Think of it like handwriting practice in elementary school. In theory, you could absolutely write beautiful, legible letters right from the get-go - and perhaps there are some who do. Most of us, though, started by tracing letters on a page. The repetitive nature of this guided exercise allowed us to see what our letters should look like and to physically feel how it felt to write those letters. When we go to write those letters on our own, we know we are doing it correctly by how they look and how they feel to write. Energy work in any form is similar. Guidance and assistance helps us to learn what that manifestation process feels like so that the next time we go to manifest on our own, we know how to determine we are putting our focus and energy where it needs to be for the best possible end result. In the case of prior programming, we can think of it like trying to improve poor handwriting. If you’ve been writing sloppily for several years, that method of writing is in your muscle memory. To improve, many people print out tracing sheets or attempt to copy from references. Just as it took years to get you used to writing sloppily, it takes repetition to form these new penmanship habits. When we are constantly told that there is only one way for something to be, it becomes a part of our belief system. I should mention that this can also be true of people who present their tips and advice as if it is the only way of achieving manifestation. This is also counterproductive. Each and every one of us are on our own unique path with our own unique destinations along the way. While some of our paths may cross, ultimately, the methods that we choose to further us on those paths will vary from person to person, experience to experience. The advice that we give should be just that - advice. Addressing Specific StatementsI would like to now briefly address some of the more specific statements pertaining to pointing out limiting beliefs. Once again, I do think that all of these messages are coming from a good place, and if you are someone who finds value in sharing them, perhaps it just comes down to your delivery of them. “You don’t need to believe in subliminals!” No, you don’t - but it helps. If we don’t believe in subliminals - or more importantly, ourselves and our own ability to manifest - we are leaving room for doubt, and doubt has an unfortunate habit of breeding its own limiting beliefs within us. These beliefs can then begin to send out energetic signals that are in conflict with what you may be intending to manifest. Yes, you can manifest without belief, but if you find difficulty, a little clearing of the mind may be in order. “You don’t have to flush or get rid of blockages!” No, you don’t - but it helps. Much of the deeply-rooted programming within us, even from surface-level “innocent” enough advertisements, can leave us feeling powerless and inadequate. Again, these can stand as their own very limiting beliefs, sending out energetic signals that may conflict with what we are seeking to do. “You don’t need to feel positive!” No, you don’t - but it helps. For one, positivity gives way to a high vibrational state, which may affect the speed at which things manifest. Two, emotional energy is extremely powerful at subconsciously directing intention. Negative emotions driving a positive manifestation may result in unwanted outcomes. Many such experiences have been shared across various magickal communities. If you find that you are experiencing such a thing, perhaps you may want to consider taking breaks from subliminals on your bad days or even simply making efforts to turn things around by doing some sort of fun activity of preference that brings you joy. “You don’t need to listen more than once!” No, you don’t - but it helps. In most of us, the programming is long-term and the blockages are sturdy - and unless you are totally secluded from society and its creations or you are extremely well-versed in warding and staying disconnected from the media you consume, the potential reformation of these blockages is something to be aware of. Even I, despite being a fairly experienced practitioner, must regularly cleanse myself and my space, re-energize my wards, and maintain awareness of aspects of myself that could use a little extra attention. In the realm of subliminals, flushes and blockage removal boosters can help to counter some of that subconscious programming. As with the handwriting example from earlier in the post, repetition will be most effective for many. “You don’t need to stick to one goal at a time!” No, you don’t - but it helps. When I discuss this piece of advice, I often talk about overwhelming the subconscious. Let’s look at the realm of the physical. How many things can you do at once before you begin to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or tired? Do you also notice that, perhaps, the quality of the work declines in these situations? Similarly, when we are dividing our energetic attention - our focus - among many different goals at once, we are not giving as much energy to each individual goal as we could be. The result may be that your manifestations are progressing at a slower rate or that they aren’t manifesting as strongly as you’d like them to. Similarly, you may also find that your “energy” is being depleted too quickly - and just as under physical circumstances, you may begin to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or tired. Perhaps you are an excellent multitasker, and if so, that is a wonderful thing - but if not, this may be something to be aware of. “You don’t need breaks, water, or food!” No, you don’t - but it helps. Granted, if you’re like most of us, you need water and food to survive. That is a given. However, in reference to subliminals, it is sometimes necessary to rest and recharge. Subliminal work is a form of energy work. In energy work, energy seems to function similar to how it would function when performing physical tasks, slowly depleting as we dedicate it to various tasks. Many believe, in this process, that bits of energy are sent out into the universe to act as a sort of beacon, calling toward us the things we wish to manifest. As mentioned above, if your energy is depleted too quickly or for too long at one time without rest, you may begin to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or tired. Rest, sleep, water, and food are all things that work to replenish our energy reserves. Chocolate or sugary fruits are common recommendations for the energy-depleted. “You don’t need to be mindful of clashing!” No, you don’t - but it helps. How many of you have done something only to realize afterwards that things did not fall into place as you expected? The subconscious knows what you want, yes, but if there are any blanks to be filled in, rest assured your subconscious will do just that. I have found that manifestation tends to take the path of least resistance. This is why many magick practitioners will suggest that you be as clear as possible about your intention without being overly limiting. There is certainly a sweet spot. If your goal is to look like “half this-half that” but don’t have an image in mind, it is entirely possible for you to still be pleased with your results, but the more specific you are about your goals, the more information your subconscious will have, and the more specific your manifestations will be. In addition, there are some “half-and-halfs” that have the potential to cancel one another out altogether. If, for example, you are trying to manifest more money while, for whatever reason, trying to manifest less money, the half-and-half result may just be no change at all. These statements are true enough by themselves, but many of us find ourselves in positions where this sort of advice could only serve to make us more frustrated with our seeming inability to manifest. You don’t have to feel like a failure if you find yourself having difficulties due to the various circumstances, situations, or experiences within your life. You don’t even have to tick all of the boxes when it comes to tips and advice. What works for some may not work for you, and what works for you may not work for others. We all learn differently. We all grow differently. Find the methods that work for you, and don’t worry about the methods that don’t. :) Final ThoughtsA big problem within many facets of the spiritual community is individuals presenting things as 100% non-disputable facts, when really in the realm of the metaphysical, we are always learning and always growing. In spirituality, we are all students of the universe. Within the new age facet, we see this problem in what is commonly referred to as “false light” or even “new age deception” - wherein certain individuals parrot certain concepts as fact, and this leads to many being misled in ways that ultimately cause trouble within their own spiritual journey. In some cases, these things touted as fact come from people with a concerning agenda. In other cases, it seems that some things work for some but not others. We are quick to tell people how things are rather than to guide them to their own conclusions, and while this may come from a good place, it often causes its own set of problems - but that’s a topic worthy of its own post.
There is nothing wrong with saying, “All you need to make magick happen is you.” That statement is entirely true. When it becomes a problem is when it is used to chop down any sort of tips or advice others may have to offer for those on their own journey to discover that statement for themselves. Not everyone discussing the concept of limiting beliefs is doing this, mind you. I’ve seen plenty of wonderful, helpful posts and videos on the topic. Unfortunately, I’ve seen just as many, if not more, comments across the community that are. The bottom line, to those reading this post for guidance, is that what works for you works for you. If you have success with a method, no one can take that success away, no matter how much they may belittle you or claim that your methods are incorrect and useless. If you can manifest without any methods at all, that is a wonderful thing. Now that you’ve mastered this, there are many other things out there that you can give full attention to mastering. If, on the other hand, you find that methods are helpful, that is also a wonderful thing. You are learning. You are growing. You are moving forward. 1) Use your own voice and/or handwriting.Our voices and our handwriting are so very unique to us, so much so that many can be identified on these two things alone. As such, our voices and handwriting are deeply connected to our energetic signatures and make for excellent tools for manifestation - and there are so many ways to utilize them when it comes to affirmations work. You may choose to speak your desired affirmations into a mirror when you first wake up in the morning. You may also choose to speak your desired affirmations to yourself at night as you fall asleep. If you are finding difficulty getting results from the work of other subliminals creators, perhaps it would be a good idea to try creating subliminals for yourself using your own voice. Anyone can create subliminals with a bit of time and energy. In the realm of handwriting, the same practice is suggested - repetition. There are many favored methods out there to look into, such as the 3-6-9 method or the 5x55 method. These methods involve writing your desired affirmations a certain number of times, sometimes for a certain number of days, implementing various numerological theories to aid in manifestation. If you’ve grown tired of affirmation work, you can try other manifestation methods, such as scripting or journaling. You have been with you your whole life. Your own unique energy can manifest miracles. 2) If possible, meditate or sleep while listening.It is often thought that the theta state - the state that your brain is in when in deep meditation - is the best state to be in for the most successful manifestation. This is because the theta state puts us in direct communication with the subconscious, the part of our minds where our beliefs and the manifestations that occur due to those beliefs can be influenced. Theta is also the state your brain is in when you are dreaming. As such, meditation and sleep are two of the biggest recommendations for subliminal work. When we are awake and engaged in activity, on the other hand, we often find ourselves in the more fast-paced beta state, wherein our conscious minds are quite active. If you have difficulty listening to subliminals while meditating or sleeping, keeping the conscious mind preoccupied on other tasks while you listen may be your next best bet in order to keep the conscious mind from getting in the way of subconscious programming. When the conscious mind is focused on the audio, it is able to jump in at any time to assign it meaning before it is filed away into the subconscious. When distracted, the audio can instead pass into the subconscious untouched - such is the general intention of subliminal programming. 3) Once a day, visualize your results in the first person.Visualization does three things when it comes to manifestation: One, it helps you to further solidify your manifestation goals. Two, it helps you to build emotional energy in connection with your manifestation goals. And three, it helps you to focus a bit of your energy on your manifestation goals each time to visualize them. For these reasons, visualization is an excellent daily practice to incorporate. I find that visualizing in the first person - that is, through your own eyes - tends to yield the best results. However, visualizing in the third person - as if from some sort of invisible camera capturing the scene - has also brought success to many people. Whatever perspective you choose, visualizing your manifestation goals for even just five minutes a day can be a great boost to your practice. 4) Try out various hands-on manifestation methods.Just as people have different learning styles, it seems that this is also true of manifestation styles. Some people may find more success with subliminal work if they use subliminals in tandem with a hands-on method of choice. Using your voice, using your handwriting, or using visualization are already examples of more hands-on methods, but if these methods aren’t for you, there are many other methods out there. Acting “as if” is another popular manifestation method for the more kinetic manifestors out there. In acting “as if”, you are simply altering your lifestyle habits to become more aligned with the life you desire. This might look like wearing clothing that looks expensive, even if it is not, to attract wealth and luxury. This might even look like clearing out space in your closet to attract a partner. There are so many ways you can change up your lifestyle while still being mindful of responsibilities and circumstances. Another popular method, for those of you who have difficulty visualizing, is to create a vision board with imagery of your manifestation goals. Instead of closing your eyes to visualize, you would instead gaze at the vision board for a few minutes each day, allowing yourself to fully engage with the emotions of a successful manifestation. This practice can also be turned into a subliminal one by placing the vision board somewhere near your workspace so that you’re always seeing it in your peripherals. These are not the only methods out there. Explore the experiences of others to find what works for you. 5) Make a habit out of declaring gratitude.Gratitude has been a tremendous force for change within the lives of many. Not only can it solidify a subconscious belief of abundance and keep your mind focused on receiving, but it can also be used to bring your manifestations further and further into the present moment. Each day, try to express gratitude for at least five things - and ten if you’re feeling ambitious. State them out loud if possible, and do your best to really mean it and to feel that energy gratitude engulf you with each statement that you make. Within that list of things you are grateful for, throw in just a few things that have not yet manifested. Express gratitude as if they have already manifested, and make no distinction between the things you already have and the things that are on the way. 6) Share a bit of positive energy with your loved ones.Just as with expressing gratitude, sharing an energy of success, happiness, and abundance with others further solidifies within your subconscious that your resources are unlimited. In the competitive culture we live in, we can often find ourselves in a mindset of scarcity. To have to compete for happiness and success means that there is not enough happiness and success to go around, but these things are unlimited resources. Upon realizing the abundance of the universe, many blockages are broken. Every time you show gratitude, meditate, or do any sort of manifestation work, take a just moment at the end to share a bit of that raised energy with your loved ones or even just with others in the world who are seeking to achieve the same goals as you, and you may find that that energy comes right back. 7) Address and amend any counterproductive programming.From a very young age, we are bombarded with limiting, unwanted, or negative programming through education, advertisements, media, and even our own mentors and peers. Currently, this programming is almost impossible to avoid. The good news is that an awareness of this means you are already on top of it, and in the realm of subliminals, flushes are a simple way to combat this. Beyond that, it’s also a good idea to learn how to create and maintain energetic protective wards around yourself and your space, to keep your vibrations high with positive self-talk and activities that bring high-energy joy, and to become more familiar with and aware of your habits and behaviors. 8) Follow the general advice for subliminal use.It is not a limiting belief to acknowledge that the process of learning a new skill like manifesting can be accelerated by listening to the advice and methods of those who have had their breakthrough. While it is true that all you need to manifest is yourself, the many of the commonly recommended methods out there are great ways to get started and to help you get into the right mindset to begin sensing the subtle energies present in the manifestation process. My general recommendation for subliminal use is to listen to your subliminals at a gentle, comfortable volume while meditating, sleeping, or focusing on other tasks or activities. If the affirmations can be heard, the volume should be low enough to easily bypass the conscious mind. I also recommend repeating each subliminal you use 3-10 times per day - the more, the better - and repeating this each day that you are able until you’ve reached your goal. To prevent accidental conflicting energies from slowing down results, take breaks on any days you are feeling too negative, sluggish, or overwhelmed - unless, of course, you’re using subliminal work to specifically help negate those feelings. There are many other recommendations out there, and perhaps some work better for you than others. Ultimately, even though these things can definitely help, especially if you are new to the practice, it is important to acknowledge that the true power to manifest comes from within you. 9) Be aware of your own power and potential.It is best to think of subliminals as tools or supplements that can help you get your mind, body, and spirit into alignment with your desires. With proper and specific direction, your subconscious can passively direct your energy where it needs to go - but rest assured, it is your energy doing the heavy lifting. The more you manifest, the more apparent this will become - and the more confident you will be in your own abilities as a result. It may be a good idea to start your manifesting journey with something small, such as finding a dollar or the ground or seeing a specific type of animal at some point in your day. Small successes add up, and every little result can take your confidence levels to new heights. 10) Find your unique motivators.Some people respond well to success stories. Others get discouraged or demotivated by them if they aren’t having those same levels of success. Some people respond well to visualizing on a daily basis. Others prefer to simply let things go and trust the manifestation process. Just as we all have different ways of manifesting, we also have different ways of motivating ourselves to put our energy where it needs to go for successful manifestations. Getting to know yourself, your preferences, and what jives with your own energetic signature are all key to taking your subliminal practice from 0 to 100.
