These subliminal messages are beyond the perception of the conscious mind but have the power to influence the subconscious. They may be embedded in music, text or video. The most commonly used instruments used for subliminal messaging (for self help purposes) are audio cds. Messages in these cds are played above above 20,000 Hz - i.e. the level at which humans can consciously hear, and are usually hidden behind music, or played in reverse so they can not be consciously heard / understood. People who have used subliminal messaging claim it has improved their resistence to stress and helped them focus on the positives and clearly focus on getting better again.

Your mind is perhaps the most powerful organ in your body. The power of the mind can not only help alleviate pain but can also help in curing diseases. The best way to deal with pain is to focus on getting better and being pain free ironically - and yes this involves a lot of mental strength, both consciously and unconsciously.
