This must be done by impressing the subconscious mind with a realization of good.

Every note and tone of the singer's voice is registered.
So, let us break all the old bad records in the subconscious mind, the records of our lives which we do not wish to keep and make new and beautiful ones.
Speak these words aloud with power and conviction, "I now smash and demolish by my spoken word, every untrue record in my subconscious mind. They shall return to the dust-heap of their native nothingness, for they came from my own vain imaginings.
