Can a new spoken word technology really unlock greater health, happiness and success in your own life?

Health author Mike Adams reviews Paraliminal technology from the Learning Strategies Corporation.

As a natural health journalist, I'm always looking for new products, technologies and therapies that enhance health, accelerate performance and rejuvenate the body and mind. Often, those solutions are found in little-known nutrients and superfoods, but today I'm reviewing an innovative technology from the Learning Strategies Corporation that harnesses the power of the spoken word to create positive, lasting change in all the areas of life that matter most: health and diet, fitness, relationships, mental performance, prosperity, self esteem and more.

You've probably never experienced anything like this Paraliminal technology before. I describe it as a revolutionary way of delivering truly life-changing words to our conscious and subconscious minds. Using standard audio CDs, these Paraliminal programs deliver powerful stories, suggestions and spoken words designed to upgrade your beliefs in specific ways as outlined in each program. But unlike most audio programs, these CDs deliver one audio track to your left ear and a different but simultaneous track to your right ear. Your left ear, for example, may be hearing a story that serves as a metaphor for personal change while your right ear takes comfort in a wellspring of positive suggestions that encourage new options in the way you think, feel and act. You've got to experience it yourself to feel how well it works. (View available programs.)

How the right words bypass self-defeating "reality filters"

The result of this technology is a natural acceptance of the suggestions and transformative stories contained in the audio track you're not focused on. In other words, unlike in subliminal audio programs, you can hear every single word being spoken to you in these Paraliminal programs. But yet, the moment you're focused on one word or phrase, another phrase "sneaks in" past your conscious mind, directly into your subconscious mind where it is instantly accepted as fact.

You see, our conscious minds operate as full-time reality filters. Based on whatever beliefs we hold as "facts" (which are usually based on what we were told as children), we will automatically filter out every sound, sight or experience that contradicts those beliefs. If you were told as a child, for example, that you were a worthless person, that self-defeating belief would normally continue to operate as a reality filter for the rest of your life, blocking any contradicting statements (such as "You are a unique, important individual!") from being considered or accepted by your subconscious mind. It's one reason why far too many people remain unable to accept positive statements about them, or even genuine acts of affection. (Relationship sabotage ring a bell, anyone?)

But Paraliminals are able to bypass those old, outdated belief filters and instill new ideas, truths and beliefs directly into your subconscious mind where they will be acted on as your new beliefs!

How to upgrade your mental software to generate extraordinary results

It's a lot like downloading and installing a new upgrade to the "software" running your brain. If you're like most people, you may still be running the equivalent of DOS 1.0 in your mind (that's the original PC operating system from the 1980's). In other words, your mind may still be acting out whatever programs and beliefs were installed by your parents, family and friends when you were a child.

But are those programs really relevant today?

If you feel "stuck" in your life today, unable to achieve those personal goals that you want so dearly -- but that seem so elusive -- it's almost certainly due in part to the programs you're still running in your head... programs that are ridiculously outdated. You're an adult now, living in a new age, with new resources, goals and skills. Isn't it time you upgraded your mental software to unleash all the potential you truly possess as an empowered adult today? (Click here to see what programs are available.)

Consider this: Your adult body can't fit into the tiny clothes you wore as a child. You can't run your car on the tiny batteries that once powered your kids' toys. And you can't fit all your modern furniture into that tiny doll house you might have played with as a child. So why try to run your adult life on mental software installed when you were a kid?

My personal secret to peak performance in every area of life

Change the software in your head, and you'll improve the results you get. It really is that simple. And I'll share a personal secret with you: When it comes to maximizing personal potential, I don't limit myself to just nutrition, exercise and superfood supplements. I also regularly explore and take advantage of self-improvement technologies like hypnosis programs, meditation and superlearning.

When I first heard about these Paraliminal programs, I asked Paul Scheele (the creator of the programs) if he would send me a couple of programs to review. Soon after, I ripped them to MP3 files, loaded them onto my portable music player, and headed to the gym for a jump rope session (one of my favorite ways to meditate).

The program began with a short relaxation induction. It was using fairly typical language to anyone with experience in hypnosis or NLP, so no surprises there. But then the Paraliminal section began. It started by taking me on a journey of personal transformation, yet as soon as I got locked on to the journey track, another track began speaking supportive suggestions and affirmations in the other ear. My mental focus naturally shifted to the new track for a few seconds, and a few seconds later, I realized that a whole collection of positive suggestions had just reached my subconscious mind without being questioned, ridiculed or rejected. My "reality filters" had been expertly bypassed by the Paraliminal format, and all the mind-enhancing words spoken by Paul Scheele were getting a backstage pass directly to my mind!

The experience may sound slightly confusing, but it really isn't. The voice tone and rhythms were so relaxing that I soon found myself tuning out altogether and just jumping rope in a semi-meditative state. Twenty minutes later (or so), the program ended and brought me back, feeling relaxed and refreshed, even after a jump rope session that left me dripping with sweat! (Of course, unless you're an exercise freak like me, you may wish to simply relax in a chair while listening to these programs. Just don't listen to them while driving.)

Since that first day, I've listened to these Paraliminal programs on a regular basis, making them part of my mental nutrition, so to speak. While I can't specifically credit these programs for making my life an exciting, rewarding experience (because I work on that goal from so many angles), they are now a part of my regular routine, and I genuinely believe that the positive programming offered through these programs is a significant part of my "secret recipe" for staying healthy, feeling energized, expressing an abundance of creativity and following my life's passions. It was soon after beginning these programs, for example, that I started designing all the CounterThink cartoons you now see on the News Target site.

Important tips for maximizing results

I believe these programs will work best, by the way, when your mind is free of dietary and environmental toxins known to harm cognitive function. So for best results, I strongly recommend avoiding all hydrogenated oils, MSG and refined sugars in your foods. On the environmental side, stay clear of mercury and other heavy metals, or use Metal Magic from the Baseline of Health Foundation or Natural Cellular Defense from Dr. Gabriel Cousens to help eliminate toxic chemicals and heavy metals. Doing this will no doubt greatly improve your results with these programs.

Also, listen to them frequently. Although some people do, indeed, experience a miraculous transformation after the first listen, these programs are really designed to initiate and then reinforce positive programming. And that takes repetition.

Everything you currently believe has been driven into your mind through repetition, so changing those beliefs requires some repetition, too. Consider this: For every instance you were told something damaging as a child, you need to counter that with one instance of a positive, transformative message with Paraliminals. Fortunately, one Paraliminals program delivers perhaps a hundred positive messages in one session, so if you were told that you were an idiot a thousand times as a child, you would do well to listen to the appropriate Paraliminal program at least ten times before expecting real results. (10 listens = approximately 1,000 positive suggestions.)

So the more careless your parents were (or teachers, friends, step-parents or whatever) with what they told you, the more time you'll want to invest in these programs. The beauty is that you only pay for them once, so repeated listening is, of course, not only free, but priceless in its beneficial effects. And think about this: A couple of Paraliminal CDs are less expensive than a single session with a therapist or life coach. In my book, it's money well spent.

Of course, Truth Publishing is selling these audio CDs, so you should take everything I've said here with a grain of salt (Celtic sea salt, preferably), but I assure you that I personally receive no commissions or revenues whatsoever from these programs. In fact, Truth Publishing isn't even paying me to write this review. The only thing I got out of this deal was a couple of sample Paraliminal programs and a major performance boost after listening to them -- which is all fine by me. Plus, of course, the honor of sharing this good news with you.
