Desuggestopedia aims to help students overcome barriers to learning by creating a relaxed environment. The teacher acts as a confident authority figure who makes learning seem easy. Students choose new identities to feel less inhibited. Music, art, and drama are used to reach students' subconscious minds and suggest that learning is pleasant. When conscious and subconscious attitudes are in harmony, learning is enhanced. Errors are corrected gently to maintain a calm atmosphere conducive to learning.
