Listening to subliminals to boost confidence and motivation

Q: I wanted to ask if listening to subliminals is permissible in Islam. If the intention is to use it as a positive affirmation like to boost confidence and motivation, especially while studying. I don't want to listen to music or anything haraam, so I was thinking of using subliminals with natural sounds, like rain, and without any audible words. Would this be okay from an Islamic perspective?

A: If it is just a treatment without any impermissible elements (e.g. no music or impermissible wordings, etc.) then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
