Subliminal Meaning
The word “Subliminal" is derived from a combination of two Latin words- ‘sub’ and ‘limen’. Sub means below and limen means threshold. Therefore, the term Subliminal refers to information, details, intelligence et cetera., that exists in people’s minds below the threshold of conscious awareness.
In simpler terms, subliminal messages refer to things that influence your mind in a way that you do not consciously notice.
How Subliminal Works?
According to the famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, the mind has three levels of awareness: preconscious, conscious, and subconscious. He believed that the constant and unique interaction of these parts of the mind plays a vital role in influencing behavior.

In fact, it has been found that over 90% of what you contemplate, perceive, and do is influenced by the subconscious mind. Thus, real change begins beneath the threshold.
Subliminal messages (in the form of pictures, audio, and videos) are delivered to the subconscious mind without conscious awareness. These messages appear so quickly (usually a few milliseconds) that your mind does not consciously register their occurrence.
Subliminal messages can promote positive changes and address various concerns such as skin care, divine energy, academic validation, and more. Their effects can be long-lasting if repeated over time. While their effectiveness is still debated by many, some believe that subliminals are a powerful tool for personal growth and development.
Famous Examples
The birth of subliminal is said to have occurred in New Jersey during the 1950s when an Academy Award-winning film was shown in a movie theater. During the film, market researcher James Vicary flashed short Drink Coca-Cola” and ”Hungry? Eat Popcorn” advertisements n the screen.
The messages were so fast that they went unnoticed by the conscious brain. Although there were reported increases in Coke sales by 18% and Popcorn sales by 57%, the results were later proven fraudulent.
Around 1999, researchers placed Subliminal messages in a British supermarket. They changed the store’s music on alternating days to encourage customers to buy either French or German wine. The results were astonishing.
When French music played, French wine outsold German wine, and vice-versa. When shoppers were asked to fill out the survey forms, it was found that they were aware of the music played but unaware of its effect on their behavior.
