Russian TV company suspended over subliminal messages

The Russian government has suspended a TV company’s programmes as punishment for broadcasting subliminal advertisements telling viewers not to change channel.

According to the Press Ministry, the split-second commercials - which appeared only as a flash to the conscious mind - told viewers: “Sit and watch only ATN”.

The Avtorskiye Televisionniye Novosti TV company based in the Siberian city of Yekaterinburg broadcast the adverts this summer. They appeared as a flash every 25 film frames, The Moscow Times reports.

First Deputy Press Minister Mikhail Seslavinsky said the case was unique in Russian history. “No one has ever before been so impudent. The use of hidden messages that act upon the subconscious is forbidden by two separate laws.”

Managers at ATN said they did not intend the message to be subliminal. Advertising manager Olga Deryabina said although the message was brief it could be read by the conscious mind.

We humans don’t have much patience any more… not that we ever really had a lot of it, but technology has increasingly enabled us to practice our dysfunctionality with quite a flair. For example, people are checking their voice messages and mail while driving. Instead of exercising with a vengeance, we have steroids. Rather than read a book, most of us will watch a movie on DVD or listen to an audio book. Microwave ovens. Fast food – the faster the better! Talk about dysfunctional, we have become lazy AND impatient simultaneously! There’s an unlikely pair.

Taking the path of least resistance can lead to poor health, and bad habits are quite user-friendly - but we don’t need to get wrapped up in any modern health-care system! Before we know it, they have us taking four meds to offset the side effects of one. So we do things (the quickest things possible) to bump up our health and energy levels, like taking supplements such as calcium or power boosters like the new, colorful hordes of energy drinks. There is currently no shortage of legal substances whose marketers urgently claim that we must have in order to survive – and they are quite good at it. The best news is, if you choose carefully, many shortcuts are really effective! It is actually possible to simplify your life as you improve it.

If you made it this far, you must like to read; so in order to share the inspiration for this edition, I’m sticking the link to it right here. Robert McNeil puts a new slant on self-help in his column entitled Rise early, work hard, succeed? Dream on: Here’s an excerpt:

“The mind, alas, is a lazy sod. It does not want you to create or exercise or diet. Its primary function is to provide excuses and pretend that watching television or sitting in a drunken stupor is a valid way to spend one’s entire, irritatingly short existence.”

Quote from http://www.write-for-wealth.com/subconscious-humor.html

Humor is truly theraputic! Now that the base of Sprudio newsletters has been established, hopefully they’ll get funnier at times. Self-help is serious business for some, though, because it can really motivate them to rise above or solve real problems.

Subliminal and hypnosis audio were originally developed as an evolved version of the self-help book; and since then, technology has improved their quality and effectiveness. Maybe our minds are evolving too, this is not to deny intelligent design but it’s hard to refute any type of evolving whatsoever. As we know, the subconscious can hear very well! Sound travels into the ear and directly into the brain – where both the conscious and unconscious deal with it in their own respective styles. We know that the subconscious in particular interprets sensory input (what it hears, in this case) and actively controls our behavior. We can therefore conclude (since we are no longer bound to outdated self-help methods) that it is productive for us to recognize and try to understand our own subconscious and how we might use this knowledge for benefit (habit improvement, performance enhancement, success via quality audio input). Wow, that was a mouthful.

Self help is so much easier these days: Thank God for evolution!

Are you suffering from any of the following habits: Overeating, Smoking, Alcohol, Procrastination, Losing your temper, Being a workaholic, Being late always, Negative thinking always. And are you fed up of trying to get over these habits with no success at all?

Then this article is for you. Keep on reading and discover an easy way to Change Bad Habits. Bad Habits are behavioral pattern that are repeatedly performed, which is affecting your growth in life or your health negatively. These patterns are acquired at some point in your life due to negligence or emotional issues. Once acquired, they are repeated during your life time and there comes a point when you cannot get out of this addiction.

Do not worry too much as you are not alone in having to Break or Change Bad Habits as the majority of the population in the world is addicted to one or more of the above repeated behavioral patterns. In the good old days Will Power was used to Break or Change Bad Habits, but to what extent was it effective is questionable. Still most of the people try to use will power or make resolutions to Break Bad Habits.

Behind what ever Bad Habit, there is always an emotional reason or past hurt involved. So without clearing this emotional issue or healing this past childhood hurt, using will power will not be effective at all in changing bad habits.

For example: take overeating, normally some one overeats in order to avoid feeling a particular emotion at that particular moment. If you dig deep and just observe your overeating habit, you may find that, you eat more in order to avoid feeling lonely, frustration, anger or some other feeling, which is the real reason behind overeating.

This being the case, however much you try to Break or Change Bad Habits using will power or resolutions will not succeed, until you address this underlying emotion first. Just feel the emotion fully and it will lose its power over you.

The easiest way to Break or Change Bad Habits is to keep your mind always relaxed. The more you can keep your mind quiet or without the mental chatter, the more you can have a relaxed and calm mind. Maintaining this state of mind is the best way to change or drop bad habits. When your mind is quiet and calm, you will never have anxiety or stress and when you do not have anxiety and stress, you automatically drop or changes bad habits. This may not happen overnight but with some practice it is definitely possible.

The most effective method to quiet your mind is to use brainwave entrainment technology. When your brainwaves are in Alpha and below, your mind is in a relaxed, calm state. Brainwave entrainment technology induces these Alpha and below brain waves and makes your mind calm and quiet.

The most effective brainwave entrainment program on earth today is the Brainev technology. The Latest Patent Pending Cutting Edge Technology known as 3-DEAP in Brainev makes it much superior to the other products out there.

You might have heard about the scandal last year where Australian Channel Ten was caught flashing subliminal logos of different products during and award show. The Australian Communications and Media Authority are now looking into the case to see if any laws were broken by the channel. What’s the big fuss? In most countries in the western world it is illegal to “attempt to use or involve a technique which attempts to convey information to the viewer by transmitting messages below or near the threshold of normal awareness.”

So if there actually are laws preventing the use of subliminals in advertising and television programming, couldn’t these same techniques be used as subliminal confidence boosters? I know the jury still seems to be out on this issue; some studies indicate that subliminal messaging works, others find no proof of this. But if the advertising industry spends millions of dollar every year on subliminal advertising and research, isn’t it likely that there is something to this?

So how can this power be used as subliminal confidence building? We know affirmations work, but maybe there can be a more efficient way to go about them? Both affirmations and subliminals are basically just messages. Affirmations you tell yourself over and over, subliminals you are not aware of.

In addition to using affirmations and different exercises to build your confidence, you could use subliminals messages. For instance, have a subliminal confidence booster playing in the background when you are asleep. Or get a subliminal confidence mp3 that you can play on your ipod or in your car.

Subliminal confidence recordings also have the advantage that unlike regular affirmation or hypnosis recordings they can be used almost anywhere because it is really hard for someone listening to make out what is being said.

Anyone who has ever experienced low self esteem or self confidence knows how much it affects and worsens your life. Repeating affirmations to yourself and using hypnosis, either self hypnosis, a hypnotherapist or a hypnosis mp3, can definitely help your confidence, but if there are other options out there that can be just as or even more efficient, it’s important to try them.

It just makes sense that using a subliminal confidence booster, alone or together with the affirmations and hypnosis, could give you even better results. It also saves you time. Even if you don’t have time to listen to a hypnosis recording every day, you can put on your subliminal confidence booster when you go to bed and let your subconscious work on your problem while you are sleeping.

It definitely can’t hurt to try a subliminal confidence program, and chances are it will really help you. Even if all the research is not in on this issue, nothing has been ruled out either. You really just need to follow the money; the advertising industries are practically running our world today, and if they are spending a lot of money and effort on this, chances are its highly effective.

If you can sleep well, your brain will take out the garbage quite efficiently: “Easier said than done,” I know (a common theme here). This is why it is critical to identify causes and use appropriate means to deal with root problems rather than to throw on a quick bandaid fix in many cases. People who possess this particular skill (attitude renewal) are the ones who succeed in life- and you can learn to do it, too! Dump that trash! Take a break from the rat race, if only a short one, and get your old, happy self back.

Looking back, it is easy to think how great everything was before - but at the time, if you stretch and really remember, you had problems then, too. We tend to block out the pain and remember the good times, which really is good. Why stress over the past? In fact why stress over things you can never change anyway? Instead, try taking a new position, from a new angle in which you have more power and less grief?

Welcome to your life
There’s no turning back

-Tears for Fears

Just for a while, let’s focus on our strong points, our positive attributes and traits that others actually admire. We all have them. You might want to take a while and list them; think about where you fit in, in this great big spinning ball of apparent madness we’re all riding around on. Decide to rise to the next level, even if you have to stretch to define it first.

Maybe you’re in a place in which it will be a while before you can make your move- if so, at least make a plan and be ready! The mere fact that you are reading this self-help website indicates that you are open to ideas. Here’s one: You are unique and capable in something, all it will take is being ready when your opportunity comes a-knocking. Only you can know what ‘getting ready’ might entail.

Each of us is living in a unique set of circumstances and possibilities. Perhaps you are tangled up in a set of them that doesn’t offer much of a future for yourself. Or, there could definitely be some positive adjustments. So right now, decide to redefine your future and move toward it. This may end up being an intricate, difficult plan. But what is your alternative? Difficult does not mean impossible. You will feel a whole lot better when you have completed a few simple steps of your new, positive plan.

Let us help; be it in a motivational way or actual self-administered subliminal audio therapy, or just relaxation aids or better sleep without pills! Sprudio audio products come in a wide range of subjects and flavors- plus our quality and dedication are the highest in town. And Earth is one tough town, Jim.

Helping others is also an admirable road to take, if you know someone who could use a leg up - unselfish plans always serve to advance the helper as well! We believe that this is a basic law of the universe. If you need to feel better about yourself, for whatever reason, help somebody else! It will work every time.

Here are a few of our most popular .mp3 titles of interest. Download now, or order a CD today!

Habit Improvement / Performance Enhancement

Getting motivated is a snap, it happens all the time! The fun begins when you decide to stay motivated. This is the most difficult stage in the self-growth process every time a person decides to change a habit or move into unfamiliar territory. The subconscious is very stubborn - so whether you’re quitting an addiction or trying to plant a new success-oriented association, the following clip might help you distance yourself mentally from the discomfort associated with change.

Philosophy can be fun

The adjustment process never ends. It would be nice to have the internal resolve of a monk, but in reality most of us are too busy at survival to have the time to pursue any Mystical Arts or take off for a year of solitude. But we can work to become as adaptable as possible, with a wide comfort zone and satisfying routine; that’s about as close to monkhood as we can expect to get.

Subconscious says “OK Boss, I’ll try it. But it better work quick, ‘cuz I’m hooked on Instant Gratification like a lot of folks these days; if I don’t get a good vibe from this new thing, I’m outa here.” Now you can say “Wait a minute, get back here I’m not finished with you yet.”

Sprudio Subliminal Audio is here to provide an economic, effective motivation tool for those who can use the extra nudge sometimes; we specialize in subconscious-friendly ammendments to inner beliefs for the promotion of each individual’s ultimate success. It’s so easy to plug in a CD or play a downloaded file, anyone can do it. And those who do play their subliminal audio faithfully seem to be having fun with their new, unexpected thought patterns! We admire them for taking charge and creating challenges for themselves.

Why so many people insist upon doubting the possible future success of others remains a mystery. It could be that the current mass of negativity ravaging the planet is frustrating people so much that it’s hard to see the bright side in anything. And watching the “news” on TV sure doesn’t help.

“They” keep telling us that we’re in a recession, that a depression is right around the corner and that doom and gloom are surely imminent. These predictions of sweeping disaster are nothing new; there will always be those who will try to profit from natural (or any) disasters (which will continue to provide fuel for this fire).

Thousands of people turn their situations around every year- they take charge and improve their lives in some fashion or another- and they become successful. The way they accomplish this is based upon change, first and foremost in mindset and thinking; and secondly, by taking action.

You might be in a place that makes it difficult to imagine your future in a positive light. Embracing the role of ‘victim’ can only serve to maintain defeat and ensure failure! Consider this: Change is constant and people use it for good every day. If you make the decision to improve (or at least try), not only will you gain self-respect - but others will also be forced to give you credit and admiration for your inner strength.

Don’t wait for a crisis to give you the wake-up call; do an evaluation of your situation now, and think of some things you do to get started on the road to success.

Our audio products can help you with the thinking parts - the actions that you ultimately take will be up to you. After you commit to becoming successful, expect some bumps in the road; but also keep in mind the fact that nothing worth achieving is easy. Stay motivated in any way that works for you.

Better than Disneyland

Creativity can provide an endless source of entertainment for each of us; and, we are free to follow up on any one of our imagined goals in a number of ways. We can choose parts of a dream and work to make them reality, or reverse the idea and do the opposite. Possibilities abound when it comes to the human imagination. We alone have the power to create ourselves as we see fit, because of the nature of the duality of the conscious/subconscious team that resides within us.

So again, think about where you are versus where you would like to be. That’s all! Well, ok you might need to do some organizing, but the wheels are in motion somewhere in there. Keep on going to the well for motivation, and progress will surely happen. Stay positive, avoid what you know to be destructive and success will follow. That’s what we want for our readers and clients.

Many of you have discovered that the cans beat out the can’ts hands down -it’s a matter of staying focussed and positive. It’s easy to get caught up in all the environmental negativity, we understand. For example, too much news can make anyone depressed. Advertising can scare you about health, wealth, politics and more; so let’s use moderation in that area.

Most problems can be approached like a puzzle, such as a mechanical breakdown or troubleshooting task. You have to identify the deficiency or broken part and then decide how to fix or replace it. Technicians, engineers, doctors, managers, sales people, and even artists use this principle (whether consciously or not). The trick is to let your experience guide you -and when insufficient, go get the missing piece- whatever it might take.
