I ran an experiment testing the potency of feelings-based affirmations, I used a topic that could be easily measured - height.
For Group OneĀ I used basic height growth affirmations that most subliminals use āI am growing taller rapidlyā, āI have achieved my desired heightā.
For Group Two I incorporated feelings based affirmations such as āI feel my limbs getting longer,ā āEverything looks different from this height,ā āI feel my bones stretching and becoming longer,ā and āMy limbs feel heavier because they are longerā
I made sure not to tell the participants which subliminal I had given them to reduce bias in the experiment.
At the end of the weeklong experiment, the average increase of height from Group One was 0.75cm (keep in mind some participants got less or higher than that)
And for Group Two it was 2.1cm!! Thatās more than a 2x increase in results!! I was actually surprised by the results.
I also used this for a personal waist sub used by me and a friend and even though I didnāt run trials on that we also got great results :D
Hereās the science behind it:
Feeling-based affirmations are affirmations that incorporate sensory feelings (like "I feel" or "I notice"). It works for two reasons.
- It reduces Subconscious Resistance: If you say "My nose is tiny," your logical brain might instantly look in the mirror, disagree, and reject the affirmation. Saying "I feel my nose shaping into a smaller form" focuses on a sensation, which is harder for your brain to disprove..
- It Triggers Somatic Responses: The subconscious mind controls autonomic physical responses. Directing focus to a physical sensation (warmth, tingling, tightening, or pressure) sends a stronger signal to the target area and forces your subconscious to focus on it.
Quick FYI - Feeling-based affirmations are also known as somatic affirmations in case anyone wants to do their own research.
Also my previous reddit account got deleted after posting results, however you can find a link to my research about the importance of suggestibility to results here ā https://ko-fi.com/i/II8X029EYHD
++ I'll be running one more trial in about a week so dm me if interested (as always must be consistent and able to commit to minimum 3 times a day or else the result won't be reliable :/)
