I don't know if it's just the nature
of my observations as a hypnotist,
or if it is just more prevalent this
election year, but I am noticing that
there is a lot of talk about how ads
are subliminally affecting those who
watch them.
I have seen all kinds of things lately.
A few people are mentioning hypnosis
by name, others are mentioning "safer"
words, like NLP and the unconscious,
and explaining how the brain works.
Today I saw a video done by ABC News.
They were discussing how they tested
6 people to see if they were unconsciously
biased by the ads. See the results
for yourself - click here.
What it seems to me in this regard,
any way, is that there may be an
unconscious impact, however, it won't
necessarily override a conscious
decision. However, it is an interesting
point to consider and, as always, I
suggest that you be especially mindful
as you set out to vote. I would suspect
that the more conflicted you feel about
a candidate, the more unconsciously
biased by some outside force you may be.
As always, just something to be
consciously aware of.
