This Adult coloring book has interesting word shape and verbal subliminal designs for you to color. But in the process of coloring, your subconscious mind absorbs the subliminal messages they present and this can help you change your attitude, feelings and behavior related to the worded message. You can make positive changes in your life when your conscious mind "tunes out" as you relax and color these pages. It is a form of Subliminal Messages. As long as you are using "coloring" to relieve stress, why not get the added bonus of enhancing your ability to lose weight at the same time? It's a free bonus to the time you are spending to relax and de-stress from your tough life. This book is a coloring book for adults that's because it is more complicated than a child's coloring book with much smaller and finer details. You have to concentrate to color in all the small shapes. That makes it an ideal method to clear your mind of many negative thoughts and it helps you relieve stress. Coloring will reduce anxiety, and help you focus and will bring you more mindfulness. It is therapeutic. And because you are focusing on coloring the shapes going mainly by feeling, not by thinking, your conscious mind sort of shuts down, this not only relieves stress, (of the conscious mind judging your every thought and action), but it opens your subconscious mind to barely perceived information you normally wouldn't have noticed. In general, the conscious mind acts as a gatekeeper, choosing which "facts" it encounters are important to you and should be saved or acted upon, and which "facts" are not important, or are not relevant due to the "fact" that they are "false". The subconscious mind, on the other hand, acts more like a computer that takes whatever information it is programmed with and uses that information as "facts" to influence you with vague feelings that you should do such and such. Subliminal messages are messages that are below the level of conscious perception. You are not consciously aware of them. But the subconscious mind can be aware of them, and can act on them. The subconscious mind can handle much more information than the conscious mind. If you are concentrating on reading a book for example, the conscious mind is focused on that, but is unaware of the TV, of surrounding conversations, of room temperature, of your heart rate, of the pain in your hip, etc. All these sort of things that the subconscious mind is keeping track of, the "conscious" you doesn't notice. So in our lives, too many times we have been told, sometimes verbally, sometimes just by a negative glance, that we can't succeed at something, that we are no good at something and the conscious mind looks at that "fact" and compares it with past actions, and sees, yes we did fail at that previous it tends to reject new information that perhaps we are not so bad, that perhaps we could succeed in that area, and the conscious mind ignores that new "factoid" and doesn't save it in the memory because it isn't a relevant fact. If we could just bypass the conscious mind sometimes and reprogram our brains, we could move towards greater success in our lives. That's what subliminal messages do, they bypass the gatekeeper conscious mind, and build new information in the subconscious mind, information that could lead to a positive change in our lives. Technically, since all the messages presented in these coloring pages are visible to your conscious mind if you focus on them, they are not subliminal, (below the level of perception) but would be called supraliminal, (above the absolute level of perception). But if you can turn off the conscious mind by coloring, the messages can seep into the unconscious mind with positive effects just the same. There is not a lot of change, 10% at the most, but every little bit helps. These designs are for colorists that would like to use their coloring time to change their lives in a positive direction.
