How to record your own subliminal mp3

February 21st, 2010
If you are practicing the Law of Attraction, you would probably know the importance of sending messages to your subconscious mind. While I am not totally convinced that subliminal mp3s will “get the message across” to your subconscious mind, I figured there’s no harm trying… Well, and since I’m feeling bored on a Sunday afternoon, I decided to record one myself…. For Windows users like me, here’s how you can do it…
What you need:
  1. A microphone
  2. Sound Recorder Program (Comes with Windows OS by default. Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Sound Recorder)
  3. Wma to mp3 converter (Don’t worry, it’s free!!! http://www.wma-mp3.org/)
  4. Audacity (Another great freeware. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_windows)
Steps:
  1. First, you need to write your affirmation statement.  (duh?)
  2. Then connect your mic to your computer and launch the Sound Recorder program. Record the affirmation statement and save it as a wma file.
  3. Because the sound recorder program only allows you to record wma files, you need to convert the recording to mp3 format for use in Audacity. Launch the wma to mp3 converter program to convert your recording into mp3. The program is pretty user-friendly, so just play around with it a bit to figure out how it works.
  4. Launch Audacity. Click File > Import to import your recording.
  5. Next, import another music track that you want to overlay your affirmation recording with. Personally, I like music that can energize me. Try searching for “motivation music” at http://mp3.sogou.com/?p=40030200&kw= for these tracks if you do not have any. This is a Chinese site, but it does display the search results in English… So no worries if you can’t read Chinese.
  6. After you have imported the two files, you can play around with the program to add some effects to your sound tracks.

  7. Once you are satisfied with your end product, you can export it to a mp3 file (File > Export).Note: if you choose to export as mp3, you need to download the “Lame Mp3 encoder” file (oppss… not being rude here… the file is really known “Lame encoder”). I found it too troublesome and chose to export my file as a wav file instead. Converted it to a mp3 file using the mp3 converter mentioned above.
That’s all, sweet and easy. No need to pay money to purchase any subliminal mp3s… especially when you don’t even know the actual message encoded. Anyway, have fun :)

The Power of Beliefs: Tony Robbins, Frank Kern and John Reese

September 28th, 2009

I’ve got this great video to share… It features Tony Robbins interviewing two of his very successful students, Frank Kern and John Reese.

Everybody knows Tony, he’s probably the world’s best peak performance coach and motivational speaker. I’ve read two of his best-selling books and purchased his audio program… His enthusiasm is contagious and he really opened my mind and changed my beliefs… If you have yet to read his books, or you are totally skeptical about these self-help books, believing that Tony Robbins is just a salesman trying to dupe the naive into buying his books, products, seminars etc… I would urge you to give yourself another chance… Read with an open mind and YOU WILL see improvements in your life…

I know some of you would argue that these “feel good” books are just that, they make you feel good but after a while, the effect fades off and you’re back to your old miserable life… now made worse because you had just acted like a fool for the past few weeks believing in those self-help scams…

I would like to remind you that everyday, we eat to counter our hunger, but after a few hours, we feel hungry again… does it mean we should not eat at all… since the effects will only last a few hours? No, I’m sure you’ll find that ridiculous… maybe you’ll argue that if you don’t eat, you’ll die; but to me, living a life without a goal, without a belief that you can achieve what you aim for, is really, well.. pretty much like death…

I do get disappointed, I do get tired… and there are definitely times when “motivated” is the last word I would use to describe how I feel…. but every time I feel like giving up, I’ll pop into a bookstore and pick up a self-help book… or I’ll listen to Tony Robbins’ audio program… just to give myself a healthy dose of motivation.. like medicine, they cure my sense of hopelessness and push me forward again…

So, here’s a dose of motivation for you too… check out the video… especially around the 13:00 mark when Tony shared about the “Holy Grail of Belief”… truly inspirational… also listen to John Reese’s Porche story…. simply love that story… :) (btw, for those of you who are wondering, John Reese and Frank Kern are both very successful self-made millionaires… made their fortunes selling products on the Internet… Just google their names)
