(Bill is an award-winning Silva instructor who began presenting Jose Silva’s mind training system in Alaska in 1984.)

There are several ways the Silva techniques can help persons with disabilities. I know of many people who have used them very effectively… including myself.

First, the techniques help the individual in coping with the situation. Some people grow bitter when they are hit with a serious problem, but that doesn’t help in any way. When we improve our own attitude about the situation, this has enormous benefits. There is less stress on the person with the disability, and they have much more energy they can use to cope and deal with life.

At level, you can come up with more ideas for circumventing the disability, for living life in as normal a way as possible.

Here is an example of how the techniques can help:

One man who is experiencing “post polio syndrome” told me that he had quite a revelation at level one day. “I realized that the reason I have so much knowledge and information is that when I was a kid, my activities were so restricted while I recovered from the polio that I spent a great deal of time reading. I read books, magazines, newspapers, anything I could find. “Now the limitations I am experiencing at this time have caused me to go back to using my mind more, since I cannot use my body as much. I realized at my level that the very thing that gave me the knowledge I have today, is now directing…actually forcing…me to put that knowledge to use in a productive manner.”

“I would not be doing this if it were not for the new disabilities that I now have. I’d still be running around doing lots of different things, instead of using my knowledge in a way that helps people, by writing, publishing information, making it available to people who can benefit from it. “Analyze your own situation at your level,” he suggests. “You might be as surprised as I was at the idea that you get at the alpha level.”

He told me that he used Headache Control to deal with the pain, Awake Control to deal with the fatigue that accompanies the post polio syndrome. He also used the Three Fingers Technique to help deal with certain situation.

He also uses the Mirror of the Mind of course.

“I don’t want to just mask symptoms,” he said. “When using Headache Control to relieve pain, and Awake Control to relieve fatigue, I keep in mind that this is correcting the cause of the problem.” We once asked Mr. Silva why the Headache Control Technique works the way it does. It appears that we are only treating the symptom – the pain – and not the underlying tension that causes the headache. Yet thousands of Silva grads have reported that when they used the technique, they stopped getting headaches, and no substitute symptoms ever showed up.

Mr. Silva explained it this way: When you enter your level on your own – not guided by anyone else, such as a hypnotist or Silva instructor – and you do the programming yourself, then your brain and mind understand that you intend to correct the cause of the problem.

This movie really moved me, and it features top geneticists, scientists and also true stories of people healed with the power of the mind.

It reinforces the fact that every living being has incredible abilities to heal itself.

As Silva students, you already know all about energy healing or psychic healing, now here’s a movie that explains it all too.

How It All Began…

Twenty-five years ago there was no science called psychoneuroimmunology or behavioral medicine. Today these are disciplines within the medical profession that teach that the mind can have a significant impact on the outcome of disease.

There are now scientific studies that establish that attitude: One’s mental state, can affect the immune system, according to author David Tate, keynote speaker at the 1991 Silva International Convention.

“For example,” Tate pointed out, “long periods of feeling helpless and hopeless are likely to result in raised levels of cortisol, a hormone in the blood, and increased levels of cortisol are correlated with a decreased immune response.”

Tate spoke from his own experience. “When I was 27, when diagnosed and treated for Hodgkin’s disease, a form of cancer,” he said. Afraid and depressed, he reached the point where his doctors could no longer give him a favorable prognosis. “But I had the good fortune, the grace, to have a number of things happen which I believe saved my life,” he said. One of those things was the Silva training.

“I had taken the Silva courses in 1972″ he said. “In 1974 1 attended the annual Silva convention which was held in Boston. The keynote speakers were Dr. 0. Carl Simonton and Stephanie Simonton.

“Now I had been using the Silva technique of going to alpha, affirmations, visualizations for two years in my own healing process, and so you can imagine how delighted I was to hear a physician, a radiologist who treated cancer patients, talk about the importance of Silva concepts. The importance of hope and a positive attitude in dealing with cancer.

The Most Powerful

“About the Silva system, Dr. Simonton said, ‘I would say it is the most powerful single tool that I have to offer patients.’

“In her part of the address, Stephanie Simonton talked about how they used the mental techniques at their clinic. ‘Probably the single most important tool we have,’ she said, ‘is the mental imagery technique.’ She then went on to tell the audience of the need for all of us to take personal responsibility for our health.

“It is up to us to use the technique that all of you who have had the Silva course have learned and to use it regularly,” she said.

In 1978 the Simontons published Getting Well Again, a book that describes in great detail the ideas they discussed at the 1974 Silva convention. The book was a turning point in mind-body medicine, the field now known as psychoneuroimmunology.

Growing Proof, Backed By Science

“Since that time, hundreds of books have been written, extolling the values of relaxation, affirmations and imagery in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Perhaps the most famous is Bernie Siegel’s Love, Medicine and Miracles.

“Bernie Siegel, a surgeon at Yale, wrote about his experience in working with what he calls exceptional cancer patients. His book was on the best seller list for years. His seminars and speeches are widely attended.

“His chapter on Images in Disease and Healing begins, ‘I began working with imagery and cancer using the approach developed by the Simontons.’

“I point this out to show you the obvious link between Jose’s work and the so-called leading lights in the field of mind-body medicine or psychology or psychoneuroimmunology,” Tate continued.

“Other examples include Shatki Gawain’s book, Creative Visualization. As many of you know Shatki is a Silva graduate.

“Another classic in the field is Kenneth Pellitier’s Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer, published in 1977. Dr. Pellitier acknowledged the contributions of the Simontons, and in fact they wrote the forward to his book.

“Another best seller was Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life”. In the earlier edition of that book, she recommended Silva, but that recommendation was omitted in later editions. Louise told me she was unaware that it had been withdrawn, and expressed to me her continued support for the Silva system.

The Founding Father

“In concluding my remarks about health, I believe I have established that Jose Silva is one of the founding fathers of psychoneuroimmunology.

“Robert Stone, the author of eighty books, among them, Jose’s biography, supports me in this view. He told me that at a conference held in Hawaii attended by 100 invited scientists, the term cyberphysiology was officially adopted as the umbrella term for the mind’s ability to affect the entire body. ‘Of course,’ he wrote, ‘Jose Silva has taught this for a quarter of a century.’

“In Jose’s owns words, ‘The body’s immune system is the mechanism that God included in the biological human body to heal all health problems. It is said that doctors and medications do not cure the patient, that doctors and medications help the immune system to heal the patient’.”

Sleep is more important than many of us make time for. It is estimated that over 60 million Americans suffer from insomnia and other kinds of sleep disorders. Sleep is essential for a healthy living. Its not only important to make time for the necessary 8 hours of sleep each night, but also to have deep and quality sleep to truly reap the healing benefits.

The benefits of a health amount of sleep are endless. When your body is relaxed and immobile during deep sleep, your body can repair and replenish itself from the days activities. From reducing stress to repairing your immune system. Many studies indicate that sleep helps us build up our immune systems, prevent heart disease and cancer.

There are not only physical benefits of a good nights rest, but mental ones as well. Sleep has shown to improve memory, enhance creativity. Being well rested keeps you focused, sharp and alert. A healthy sleeping habit also helps prevent depression.

With the countless positive benefits of sleep, still so many people suffer from lack of sleep or insomnia. With today’s lifestyle it is increasingly difficult to fall asleep or get the quality of sleep your body and mind needs.

In Dr. Aretoula Fullam’s report on Sleep Disorder Insomnia and the Mental Exercise Sleep Control, you will find Dr. Fullham’s research and findings on the physical and mental effects of insomnia, and how insomnia patients are currently treated. Dr. Fullham also explains the Silva Sleep Control technique and how it benefits insomnia patients and how it can work for you.

Dr. O. Carl Simonton is an internationally acclaimed oncologist, author, and speaker who is best known for his pioneering insights and research in the field of psychosocial oncology. After having earned his medical degree from the University of Oregon Medical School, he completed a three-year residency in radiation oncology. It was during this time that Dr. Simonton developed a model of emotional support for the treatment of cancer patients… an approach that introduced the concept that one’s state of mind could influence their ability to survive cancer.

As chief of Radiation Therapy at Travis Air Force Base, Dr. Simonton implemented this model. This was the first systematic emotional intervention used in the treatment of cancer — a program that was approved by the surgeon General’s Office in 1973. While in private practice, Dr. Simonton utilized his unique approach for the treatment of cancer patients. A pilot study he conducted from 1974 to 1981, demonstrated an increase in survival time and improvement in quality of life. His early research established the foundation for two widely acclaimed books which he co-authored, Getting Well Again and The Healing Journey.

Dr. Simonton is the Director of The Simonton Cancer Center in California, where retreat programs are offered for cancer patients and their loved ones. In recent years, his model has received great acceptance in Germany, Poland, Japan and Switzerland, where he routinely conducts training sessions for health professionals.

In November, 1997, he was honored by the American Medical Association for his film, Affirmations For Getting Well by Touchstar Productions. This video, used in practically every hospital in the US is presently being distributed to oncologists throughout our nation by SmithKline Beecham, one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.

As an extension of his original work, Dr. Simonton is currently developing programs to meet the needs of individuals at different points in their lives. Pediatric and hospice-based models utilizing his basic tenets are now being created.

With a strong interest in promoting the healing aspects of music, Dr. Simonton is the co-recipient of a recently funded research grant designed to test the psychoneuroimmunological effects of active drumming, and integral component of this cancer program. Through numerous presentations throughout the world, and countless interviews with leading media, Dr. Simonton continues his quest to help individuals build upon their strengths by enabling them to travel their healing journeys with hope and inspiration. His pioneering approach has great potential to become the 4th tool in our armamentarium against cancer along with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

It should be clear to you by now that your mind plays an EXTREMELY important role in your health and healing process. It needs to be tuned and purged of limiting belief systems. One great way to fix these belief systems is to draw an inference to logic and proof. I have already given you the logic in my previous post, and now it’s time for the proof.

I have put together some incredible stories from people who have been able to Heal themselves and their loved ones. Below you would also be able to download one of the best compilations of stories in a PDF format.

“Silva Method Cures Tumor”

“The Silva Method came into my life in the mid 1970’s. I was invited to an informative seminar at the last minute by a friend, left the seminar at 11pm on a Friday night and I knew that I was meant to be in the class the next morning at 9 am.

I was the Mom of two little girls and did not have the $275. I arose very early the next morning, got into my car and drove toward the seminar, still I didn’t have the money, but I knew I would be in the class. I came upon a friend that I had not seen in quite some time, told him about the Silva seminar and drove with my friend to his bank after which he handed me the tuition I needed to attend the Silva seminar.

That was just the beginning.

A Few years later, my ob/gyn was examining me and found a tumor the size of a grapefruit as described by the doctor. He scheduled me for surgery. It was a fearful time. During the next couple weeks prior to surgery, I shared my Silva Method experience with my older sister and together we began to visualize and destroy this foreign object inside my uterus. I went into the physician’s office to prep for surgery and obtain a final ultrasound. As the technician was running the ultrasound around my abdomen, she asked, “what is the doctor looking for?”. I told her a grapefruit sized tumor. She responded by telling me that the doctor would probably want to re-examine me. Ten minutes later, my ob/gyn had the most perplexed look on his face as he examined me again and found the grapefruit sized tumor was no longer present. When I told him how I visualized it gone, he said he could not explain why it was no longer there, but maybe the visualization was the answer.

And me, I know it was the answer. A combination of Desire, Belief and Expectation was the key.

“Meditate to Lose Weight”

“To my amazement, since I started the program, I have lost 9lbs.! My doctor was so impressed, she asked me how I did it. I told her – no diet; meditation! My relationship with food has totally changed – I don’t think about food except once or twice a day and then only to sustain myself, not entertain myself.

I have relaxed easily, whether meditating in a sitting position or preparing for sleep.

This is my second time to study the method. I was sent to Silva in 1974 by medical doctor to learn to relax to control blood pressure. It worked! I also became a more successful sales person. I have always meditated but decided to do a refresher to work on new goals.”

~ Karen Miller From Poway, CA

“Silva has not changed my life, it has SAVED my life”

“I have been using Silva for over 20 years. As I continue to study the material and practice I reflect how Jose Silva’s work has changed my life. 7 years ago, I had a near death experience as I was in the recovery room after gall bladder surgery. Learning from that experience that life is short, I committed myself to focusing my Silva healing talents to help other people. As I opened up myself to this idea, I decided that I would attract people who sincerely would allow themselves to heal through learning the Silva meditation program.

Soon I met a woman in her 50’s where they discovered a large mass on her ovary. Since she had never been pregnant, they expected the worst, she immediately scheduled her for surgery. She did not want to go under the knife, and agreed to postpone the procedure 1 month. I took a train from Maryland to New York City to work with her and teach her the Silva method. After 2 days, I returned home, I promised her I would continue to work on her case for the next 28 days. 1 month to the date she was scheduled for surgery. I suggested we get another sonogram to see how much we were able to change the shape of the tumor. While on the table the technician discovered the mass was completely gone and she called me from the doctors office to give me the good news.

I have since used Silva to lower my cholesterol level from over 300 to 110 and have used this meditation method to lose a lot of weight, reduce my blood pressure, and eliminate my sleep apnea. Silva has not changed my life, it has SAVED my life.

“The Silva Method Cures Stutter and Builds Confidence”

“As I learnt to speak, I started to stutter. Nobody is sure why, but the fact was that I developed a serious stutter and I had communication problems. During my primary school years I managed to get by, but every day was a struggle.

When I became a teenager things became worse. People at school started to bully me because of my speech problem and I was very aware of my stutter, which made it even worse. I became reclusive, avoiding speaking and only doing so at home or with close friends. Not a nice situation for a teenager.

I started to attend speech therapists and became a research subject in some new techniques, all with very limited success. I also attended some relaxation and meditation classes, which showed some promise, and after some research, my mother signed me up for The Silva Method (or Mind Control then). I reluctantly attended the seminar, and now I think it might have been one of the best things I ever did. My life changed.

As I practiced the techniques, and as I helped myself and those around me, my life changed. I dealt with my stutter until it virtually disappeared and I regained my confidence. I started to speak and to communicate (and I had a lot to say!) and I even asked a girl out! I also became a student rep and had to speak in public in front of the school. I am not sure who was more amazed, me, my mother or the bullies at school.

Somehow I forgot about the Silva Method, but now, in my mid-thirties, I have re-discovered it and I am once again changing my life, making it better and better every day.”

At this stage, you’ve probably have already learned a lot about the Silva Method, the power of your mind and how it all comes together to help with your natural healing process.  Now it’s time to complete all that you’ve learned by understanding the Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta brain wave patterns.

Your brain functions on a small amount of electricity, much like a computer. This electrical current vibrates and pulses at various speeds. When you are wide awake, with your eyes focused, your brain vibrates 20 times per second – what scientists call 20 cycles per second or the Beta frequency.

You are probably at this beta level of mind right now as you read this.

When you go to sleep, your brain frequency slows down, all the way to about half cycle per second in the deepest levels of natural sleep. This is known as the Delta level.

In between Beta, the waking state, and Delta, the deep sleep state, there are two other levels of mental activity.

When you are in a light level of sleep or in meditation you are in the Alpha range, which is 7 to 14 cycles per second. This is the center range and this is what we mean by saying “going to your center”. Going to the alpha level or centering is essentially the same thing as meditating. When someone meditates, scientifically, they are simply reducing their brain wave frequency to Alpha. The Alpha level is the level we use to activate our minds.

Theta is a level of deeper relaxation or sleep, when your brain waves are at 4 to 7 cycles per second. The table below summarizes the 4 states of brain frequency. This is the state where healing accelerates and also remote healing takes place. (cps = cycles per second)

Let me explain you the level of brain frequencies and how they function in a detailed manner in the below video. The video is a little longer so let it load. I have also put a download link for you to download the video if you would like to watch it at your ease.

A Personal Story—How I Healed My Husband With The Silva Method

One night my husband, Mel, woke up early Sunday morning with a very high fever. He doesn’t usually fall sick, so I was worried. I conducted some energy passes on him, and gave him some medicine. We eventually got his fever under control, and by Monday morning he seemed fine to go to work.

But the fever soon came back with a vengeance. We had to rush to the doctor, who after testing Mel found that he had a bacterial infection, endocarditis.

He was admitted to the hospital, but I continued to do energy passes on him. What was amazing was the quick recovery that he had from the infection. The doctors stood baffled, yet again, on how can someone recover this fast, until I told them that I was doing energy passes, and funnily I was blamed to “hamper” the healing process. I think I am getting blamed like my father used to when he could heal people where doctors were still trying to figure what the problem might be.

I often write in my journal, and I wrote about this incidence as well. I am putting the entry below, for your eyes only:

(Excuse my Handwriting)

…How My Father Healed Me & Annoyed Doctors

This happened was when I was very young and was visiting a beach near our city. Now, when you are young you are a little careless (and you do enjoy being careless), but sometimes this carelessness can lead to not-so-good results.

I was visiting a nearby beach with friends, and while coming back I started to get a little bit of pain in my stomach, which I conveniently avoided. But the next morning it went from just pain to intense pain which made me run to the hospital quickly. With the help of my sister I did make it, and the doctors diagnosed an infection in my kidney.

At this time my father was traveling and wasn’t home. We called him to tell the situation, and he said one thing, “I am heading back home, make sure that the doctors do not operate you, I’ll be there by the evening.”.

We did as he said. He sneaked in the night before I was to be operated and did energy passes on me (How it works is beyond the scope of this course and is more exhaustively covered in Silva Mind Body Healing) and went back home.

The next day, before the surgery was to begin, I was tested for one last time, I saw the doctors baffled and confused. They sheepishly told me how they cannot find the infection anymore and that they must have made a mistake.

I had to tell them that my father visited me last night and did energy passes on me. They didn’t know Jose Silva was my father until then (and my father was very well known in the city).

Annoyed, the doctors blamed my father for hampering the treatment process.

I know one thing for sure—ever since my father healed me, I have never had ANY health issues concerning my kidneys again.

Now that you understand what Silva Mind Body Healing can do for you and you’ve read my story, I will let you decide if my father was hampering the treatment process, or if he was the one providing treatment process itself.

Better and Better,

Laura

The Mind Rules The Body

Case Study on Healing

A 61-year-old man named Frank was diagnosed with a fatal type of throat cancer. His weight dropped to 98 pounds, he had trouble breathing and could barely swallow. Doctors placed his survival rate at 5% and even questioned if he should be placed under radiation therapy, since the treatment might only add to his discomfort and not significantly increase his odds of surviving.

After much thought, the doctors decided to send him in for radiation treatment. Fortunately for Frank, Dr. O. Carl Simonton, then medical director of the Cancer Counseling and Research Center in Dallas, Texas, was asked to participate in Frank’s treatment.

Dr. Simonton suggested that Frank himself had the ability to influence the course of his own disease and taught Frank a number of relaxation and mental-imagery techniques.

The Treatment Of Visualization

Frank was asked to visualize…

• the radiation he received consisted of thousands of tiny bullets of energy bombarding his cells;
• his cancer cells as being weaker than the normal cells and thus unable to repair the damage they suffered;
• his body’s white blood cells as coming in and swarming over the weakened cancer cells;
• flushing the cancer cells out of his body through his liver and kidneys.

The results were astonishing and far exceeded what usually happens when a patient is treated solely with radiation therapy. Frank experienced almost none of the negative side effects, such as the skin and mucous membrane damage that normally followed such treatment. In mere two months, he had not only regained his weight and strength but all signs of his cancer had vanished.

Frank is only one of thousands of cancer patients that have benefited from imagery therapy through the Simonton Cancer Center (www.simontoncenter.com).

Dr. Simonton, a Silva graduate, was once asked to address the audience at a Silva Convention. “About the Silva system,” said Simonton, “I would say it is the most powerful single tool that I have to offer patients.”

Stephanie Simonton, Dr. Simonton’s wife, also talked about how they used Silva’s mental techniques at their clinic. “Probably the single most important tool we have,” she said, “is the mental imagery technique.” She then emphasized the need for all of us to take personal responsibility for our health. “It is up to us to use the technique within Silva and use it regularly,” she said.

In this post you will learn how to apply basic Silva Mind Body Healing techniques to help you accelerate your health.

But first, let’s discuss a strange phenomenon – the widely observed but little understood, placebo effect.

The Mysterious Placebo Effect

Scientists and doctors have long been puzzled by how certain patients have been able to heal themselves of life-threatening diseases.

Doctors have found that a patient can trigger self-healing by the mere belief that they will be cured. This is commonly called the placebo effect.

Doctors are finding that many people are being cured even with fake medication, called placebos. These usually consist of nothing more than sugar pills or distilled water, and then told by their doctors that they were taking real medication.

There is no explanation as to why the placebo effect works, except that somehow, the patient’s belief that they are getting cured triggers some sort of self-healing ability within the patient. The placebo effect is probably the best-documented way in which the mind is known to affect the body.

The placebo effect, using some of the most outrageous remedies, has worked exceptionally well with warts. In 1934, a physician conducted a double-blind study showing that placebos worked almost as well as sulpharsphenamine, the drug commonly used to treat warts at the time. 53% of patients given the actual medicine were cured. And of the patients given the fake medicine, which was nothing more than distilled water and told it was a genuine wart cure, 48% were cured.

The opposite also works.

If you believe something is harmful to you, it tends to be.

One study showed that 19 out of 40 subjects developed asthmatic symptoms after inhaling a saline solution they believed to be allergenic. Twelve developed full-blown wheezing and bronchial spasms, which disappeared completely three minutes after receiving another saline solution placebo. The researchers concluded that suggestion played a significant role in precipitating asthmatic attacks.

Weirder still—the placebo effect also works with surgery.

In the summer of 1994, a surgeon named J. Bruce Moseley had 10 patients scheduled for an operation intended to relieve the arthritis pain in their knees. All 10 were wheeled into the Houston Veterans Affairs Medical Center, draped, examined and anesthetized. All 10 were then dispatched to the recovery room and sent home from the hospital by the next morning equipped with crutches and a painkiller. All 10 men believed they had just gone through a reliable medical surgery to cure them of their knee arthritis pain. But this was not the case.

In fact, while two of the men would undergo the standard arthroscopic surgery for their condition – the scraping and rinsing of the knee joint – and three would have the rinsing alone, five would have no recognized surgical procedure at all. Their surgery would be a placebo. Moseley would cut the placebo patients’ knees three times with a scalpel – to make it feel and look real, there had to be incisions and scars for the patient to believe he had undergone surgery – but that was it.

The placebo worked.

Six months after surgery, the 10 patients still didn’t know whether they had been faked out or not.

But all of them reported much less pain.

The placebo effect can be so powerful that all modern drugs have to be tested against a placebo before they are released to the public. And many former treatments and drugs have been taken off the market when their healing properties were found to be solely due to the placebo effect

Other Evidence For Mind Body Interaction

Hypnotism is another way to demonstrate the mind-body effect. A hypnotist can cause someone to trigger their body’s own healing mechanism at will.

Jose Silva used to demonstrate how he could put someone into an hypnotic state of mind and then suggest to them that the pencil he was holding was red hot and that if the pencil touched their skin they would feel no pain but their skin would produce a blister. One in five people would actually develop the blister from the touch of the pencil. The blister could then be made to disappear automatically, again with mere suggestion.

A good hypnotist can even get a subject to tan their skin on command. Another weird phenomenon of mind-body interaction is that of people with multiple or split personalities. Psychologists have observed that when multiples switch personalities their body also shows dramatic changes.

Eyesight can improve or worsen, allergies can reappear or disappear and even brain wave patterns can change. Multiples can also change their voice patterns in ways that even the best actors cannot emulate.

This leads to an interesting question…

Just how much of your physical body is influenced by your belief system?

The gap between mind and body seems almost non-existent. Jose Silva believed that as much as 90% of all physical ailments are induced and curable by the mind.

The Growing Acceptance

The scientific evidence for mind-body healing is well established and public acceptance is now mainstream.

A 1990 Gallup Poll on American attitudes to paranormal phenomenon found that 25% of Americans had had success with mental healing.

The May 2001 Gallup Poll discovered that “Americans with the highest levels of education are more likely to believe in the power of the mind to heal the body”.

The same Gallup Poll on Americans’ beliefs on the Paranormal, updated the statistics in June 2005, showing that more than 55% believe in the connection between the mind and the body in healing. These healing powers of the mind on both the physical and emotional have been demonstrated empirically, reflecting the power of placebos.

Furthermore, according to a famous survey published in 1993 in the New England Journal of Medicine, 34% of adult Americans reported using at least one unconventional therapy in the past year. This includes meditation, yoga and visualization techniques.

And finally, the 1993 New England Journal of Medicine survey found that alternative medicine ña category which includes mind-body healing, energy healing and spiritual healing ñ is most likely to be practiced not by the socially marginal or the cognitively defective but by affluent (incomes above $35,000), college-educated people.

But Can Your Mind Heal Someone Else’s Body?

Let’s ask a more daring question.

Can you use your mind to heal a loved one – at a distance?

Some of the most surprising evidence for distant healing comes from psychologist William Braud and his colleagues at The Mind Science Foundation of San Antonio, Texas. Braud’s studies, conducted over 17 years, involved having people mentally attempt to influence the nervous system of remote participants.

The results of the study were simply mind blowing.

The Receivers

Braud would wire up the first group of people, known as receivers, to machines that measured up to seven different physiological responses such as blood pressure, skin conductivity and muscle tremor.

The Senders

A second group of people, known as senders, would be placed in a different room and asked to attempt to arouse or calm the receiver solely by thinking about them. Both senders and receivers were ordinary people who had volunteered for the study.

Braud’s 37 experiments involved 665 sessions, 449 people and 13 experimenters. What Braud found was that at the exact moment the sender was asked to think of their receiver, the receiver would show a change in his or her physiological condition.

The 37 experiments combined resulted in odds against chance of more than 100 trillion to one in favor of distant mental interactions between the participants.

In short, the ability of one person’s mind to affect another person’s body is scientific fact.

But Just How Powerful is it?

Okay, so we know that one person’s mind can somehow influence someone else’s physical body – but is the effect really powerful enough to make a difference in someone’s state of health?

Again, the answer is surprising.

The effects of distant healing have been proven to be significantly greater than many drugs deemed to be highly successful in medicine.

For example, numerous studies have shown that propranolol and aspirin are effective in reducing heart attacks. But their effects pale in comparison to distant healing.

Effect sizes of drugs are measured on a scale from 0 to 1. An effect size of 0.03 in a medical life-or-death situation would mean that 3 out of 100 people survived. An effect size of 0.3 would mean that an additional 30 out of 100 survived.

In medical tests the effect size of aspirin on reducing heart attack is 0.03. The effect size of propranolol was not much higher, at 0.04. These sizes were sufficient enough proof for the government to authorize the drug manufacturers to state that their products prevent heart attack.

But the effect size of distant healing in Braud’s experiments was a surprising 0.25.

This means that if 100 people were going through a therapy with a success rate of 35%, this success rate would go up to 60% with the addition of distant healing. Almost twice as many patients would be saved.

In his studies, Braud also discovered some strange properties of distant healing. His volunteers were asked to participate in another experiment where they would attempt to mentally calm down two groups. One was a group of highly nervous people and the other a calmer group.

First, Braud found that the distant healing effect was the strongest when the person on the receiving end actually had a serious need for healing. The effect size on the highly nervous group was far greater than on the calm group.

More surprisingly, he found that the effect size on the agitated group by those trying to calm them down was only slightly less than the effect that people had on themselves when using relaxation techniques.

In statistical terms this means that other people could have the same mind-body effect on you as you could have on yourself and vice-versa.

The Five Rules for Mind-Body Healing

William Braud outlined five major mental techniques that he believed have important effects on the self-healing processes.

They include:

1. The need for relaxation and quietude.
2. Learning to focus your attention on one thing (e.g. breathing), which allows you to develop mental self-control and avoid distractions.(The above two points are achieved through meditation).
3. Learning visualization or imagery techniques since pictures are the preferred language of the mind.
4. Incorporating intent into the process, a wish for some goal to be reached and an expectation that it will.
5. The evocations of strong positive emotions during the healing process.

The healing system developed by Jose Silva almost two decades before Braud’s research had already incorporated these five elements. Braud’s research had finally provided scientific credibility to Silva’s technique. Next, you will learn Silva’s basic healing technique by downloading the exercise below.

“What If I’m already Healthy?”

If you have no health problems and are perfectly healthy at the moment, you can still meditate and visualize yourself staying in perfect health. This way you may never have to worry about having to heal yourself.

In the Silva Healing Mind exer­cise, you will be guided into the alpha level of mind. This is a state of relaxed med­i­ta­tion. You’ll then lis­ten to a series of men­tal pro­gram­ming ses­sions that are designed to allow your mind to open itself up to height­ened intu­ition. It will take no more than 30 mins.

May the Rest of Your Life, be the Best of Your Life

Laura Silva

We know that one of the surest ways to motivate people to practice is to inspire them with stories of those who have succeeded. So here’s a series of inspiring stories and letters from people who have used the Silva Method to help themselves recover from various types of illnesses.

Four Lung Tumors Shrank within 6 Months

This is amazing…that first story is my story almost to the letter..In 1999. I was diagnosed with lung cancer.The Drs. told me..and showed me the four tumors on my lung…They told me I had 8 months to 1yr to live. Thats when I first heard of the Jose Silva method…of meditation to heal ones self…and I used that method for 6 months…and just like in your first story…after 3 months the Dr.didn’t understand how the tumors was SHRINKING…and after 6 months..that they were completely gone…

Now I also did the chemo and changed my diet…but the Drs. called their miracle..and to this day when I go back for checkups…they still call me the miracle man….but I know that GOD played a huge part, if not all of this miracle…after all it was HIM that put the Drs. in my life and the Silva method.

Regained Vision after Practicing the “Long Relax” Exercise

In 2002, I was forced to give up my job because of chronic, excruciating pain, and limited mobility brought on by advanced osteoarthritis in my left hip, scoliosis in my lower spine, and fibromyalgia.

It seemed like all of a sudden, I went from being an active independent person, living on a good income, to one who could barely move around, and having to live on a tiny disability income that was not enough to take care of my basic needs. I was worried, sad, and becoming depressed.

I can’t recall how I found the Silva website, but arriving at that site, and making the decision to purchase the Silva Home Study course in 2006 was one of the best things I ever did for myself.

For the first few weeks after receiving the tapes, I did the long relax exercise daily; then, one day, I was on the way to the supermarket with a friend, when I realized that I had left my eyeglasses at home. I’ve been near sighted since birth so, it’s quite unusual for me to leave home without my glasses, and not notice it the moment I hit the street. My friend wanted to turn back so that I could get them, but I immediately realized that I was reading the street signs clearly.

Once we were inside the supermarket, I was like a child at Christmas. I could barely contain my excitement at discovering that I could read all the signs from far away. That’s when I made the connection that at the end of the Long Relax Exercise, it says that vision and hearing will improve every time we function at the alpha level of mind..

So, convinced that the Silva Method was already giving me some good results, I decided to really study the course, and apply the Silva principles to heal myself. I continued to do the long Relax exercise daily, and in addition, I’d to the countdown several times during the day.

I’d sit still, and visualize my hip joint healed, and the bone moving freely, and effortlessly in it’s socket. I visualize myself walking straight, and lifting my leg normally. I visualize a loving hand gently straightening my spine allowing me walk with a normal posture. I visualize myself being happy, energetic, and pain free

Well, I must say that today I still walk with a cane for support, but I barely put any weight on it. I’m walking up and down stairs, I’m no longer tilted to one side, and I’m able to do a lot more things than I did two years ago. I’m also completely off prescription pain medication, and only have to take Tylenol every now and then. But, the greatest benefit I’ve gotten from the Silva method is this immense joy, and peace I have emanating from within me. No matter what is happening on the outside, there’s always this joy bubbling inside of me, and for this, I’ll always be grateful.

~ Sylvia Spence

Medical Doctor’s Testimonial

Something seems to be happening, I am not sure what, but luck seems to be improving some and the daily worries don’t seem to be getting to me…such as under staffing and problems with interactions between staff and patients. Even had the comment that I looked happier than I had in a long time. Headaches are almost gone, too. I am rapidly getting sold on the The Silva Method as you can probably tell, which would also explain my eagerness in finding a seminar to take. One other thing that I have noticed is that I seem to have more endurance than I have had since the accident 2 years ago. I do contribute that to the system. The brain power seems to be back to normal.

Post Surgery Recovery

Wow. I can’t believe that I had a skin graft two weeks ago. My foot was still swollen. I went to level to get rid of the swelling. This morning I woke up and my ankle was normal size. It will probably swell again, but I’m going back to level and get rid of it again. This stuff works. I love it. ~ Lorie Crawford

Surprised My Doctor

Hi , I haven’t e-mailed you lately. Just wanted to let you know of a positive outcome I had using a Silva Technique about one and half months ago. I had an ultrasound on my thyroid and it showed I had 3 nodules attached to it. As soon as I got this news I started using a technique to remove them through visualizing. I went in this past Monday for a biopsy of the 3 nodules. The women who was doing the ultrasound and I just knew in my gut that they were gone. She told me she had to talk with Doc. The Doc said there are absolutely no nodules there to biopsy. What a mind blowing experience. I was actually surprised the technique worked because i have problems with visualizing.

~ Bill K., New Jersey

Warts Disappeared

Silva had helped me tremoundously with a bad case of plantar warts on my feet. The were so painful I walked with a limp for 8 months. Doctors told me I had to go through a painful

surgery to have them removed. They surgery would also leave scars on my feet. I scheduled the surgery but I also tried visualization, hoping the warts would dissapear before surgery and I could avoid the scars and the medical expenses.  I used a combination of Silva and Reiki. I had the warts for almost 7 months before I used Silva. I spent 15 mins a day for about 8 weeks visualizing them dissapear and when I showed up for surgery the doctor was amazed. All signs of the warts had completely dissapeared. Its been 3 years and I have had no recurrence. This is just one of many healing successes I have obtained through Silva – I used to practice martial arts so as you can imagine I got injured a lot. Silva always helped.

~ Tom Chelsmore, New York City

I helped my daughter overcome cancer.

I first heard about the Silva Method 30 years ago from a co-worker. I kept the idea of Silva Mind Control in mind, and bought the book a few years later. I later learned self-hypnosis, which I practiced regularly, along with traditional (mantra) meditation. In 2005 I took the Silva Method Course and it reignited my interest in mind power. I have since used the techniques regularly to bring good things into my life.

Last August my daughter was diagnosed with a re-occurrence of breast cancer—Stage 4, metastasized all over her body. She decided not to undergo whole brain radiation and chemotherapy the doctors suggested. She is using all natural healing methods, organic juice, food, and supplements—and meditation.

I have been helping her by using Silva healing techniques, visualizing the cancer going away—and it is! 8 months later, the cancer is more than half gone.  I am sure the Silva Method has played a significant role in her healing.

Thanks a lot.

Helped me Cope with Chemo

At about 12 years ago I was introduced to Silva’s method by mother. I had already been taught some about meditation through Louise Hay’s books, but the Seminar my mother took in Brazil really altered the way I see the world. She took the whole material, including audio tapes, but also dictated some guided meditation to me. It was a marvelous experience, but the other joys of youth held my attention more intensively, so I left it aside for a while.

It was not until 2 years ago, when I found out I was on a stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, that I resurrected the old Silva’s material. It not only helped me along 6 month of chemo, but also became part of my life. Before Silva I was an excess in all directions. Willing to become an athlete I endured the hardest trainings of all, which included 10 miles runs carrying a backpack loaded with up to 20 pounds in weights, my study habits were also harder and harder and I lost the pleasure I had in playing the guitar, which was became an obligation of performance before a hobby.

Silva made me a more centered person. I finally balanced both hemispheres of the brain and started sensing equilibrium in nature. I managed to finally graduate from University and found a job. I graduated in electrical and electronical engineering and bought my own audio recording equipment with the wage from my brand new job. I am recording my own tapes now, in my mother tongue, which is helping me more than ever.

~ Luciano Martins, Brazil

Helped Heal Mom

Nov. 12, 2002: “Thanks for sending me the information to help mom. I used the rapid hand vibration technique three times but the sharp pains continue. She was too tired to listen to me read to her today but I will try again tomorrow before I take her back home. She is a real positive thinker and very strong minded and usually can control any pain. I am sort of overwhelmed from listening to the two sets of tapes and the videos. Can’t sort it all out yet. They are mixed up together in my head. I need to take it one step at a time. It’s about the hour for me to do my long relaxation since I haven’t done it yet today. That, I can do. And relaxing is a really new experience for me. <b> It’s so delicious.</b>” Nov. 14, 2002: “Gosh, <b>I just talked to mom and the pain in her ear has stopped,</b> BUT I forgot completely to do her other ear and its beginning to tweak. Wow. Powerful. I will do both her ears next time. I’m slowly learning.”

~ Starr Newell

Fantastic and would recommend to anyone, Healed a Friends Bad Knee

I had some doubts about taking time away from my Tax work at this busy time but I am glad I did. The seminar was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone. One ‘coincidence’ this week occurred Monday night. My friend Dorothy had fallen and injured her foot several months ago. She has been in constant pain ever since. She wanted to go skiing on Tuesday but didn’t know if she should because of the pain. I went to center as I was preparing to go to sleep and pictured her being able to ski. She told me Tuesday night that she was able to ski with no problems. I never told her what I had done for her.  I was also impressed with your teaching about goal setting which was a “freebie” beyond the normal training. It has helped me a lot this week. I am excited by the possibilities of the Silva Method system and I know that my life will be forever changed by attending the seminar.

~ Ron A, Tax Consultant, New York City

“Significant effects on my life, career and approach to things”

The Silva seminar taken this spring had several significant effects on my life, career and approach to things in general.

First of all I stopped wanting things so badly, I just relaxed and tried to live one day at a time, and decided to have the best of it. It was not easy, but I started to become happier, calmer and more confident.

I had to give a presentation for a council meeting, knowing that my performance will be recorded for the local television, and I managed to stay calm . I programmed myself in Alpha to be relaxed and to speak clearly and fluently. My performance was a great success.

I also visualized a couple of my seriously sick friends who live overseas, and I was amazed at the results. One friend, sick of prostate cancer at the age of 41, started to plan vacations on a sailboat, at the time I was visualizing that he was sailing totally cured. The other friend that suffered from nervous breakdown told me on the phone that she just came back from a field full of flowers where she found a few moments of peace and relaxation, and the day before I visualized her dancing in a field full of flowers.

I didn’t expect any miracles after the Silva seminar, but I’ve learned that we have all the abilities we need to become what we want to be and even to have some telepathic influence on other people; we just have to believe in it and get rid of all doubts that stop us from getting what we want.

~ Margaret J., Oakville, Ontario

Helping Grandma Feel Better

I set up little experiments like I would have my grandmother call my great grandma and ask her how she felt one day, and then the next as I worked on her the night in between from a distance. I got great results. Perhaps it was because I was so optimistic. One huge thing is that my grandmother went from 19% kidney usage to 39% and holding which all of her doctors found impossible. I’ve had many successes including ridding myself of acne and both my parents got massive raises which I fully take credit for.

~ Suade Anderson

Healing the Knee

Tag Powel used Silva techniques to heal his knee. After getting osteomyelitis since he was fourteen, he decide to use the Silva techniques. He visualizes the operation of his knee. The next morning when he woke up there was a ball of pus about the size of a golf ball, then hour after hour his knee was getting better and continued to go better every day. He remembered “”the programming took about a thirty or forty-five minutes. My desire, belief and expectation were strong at that time. It was almost a life-and-death situation, with the doctor wanting to freeze my knee for thirty days and all. I couldn’t put it off. I think the reason I did all the healing in one shot is that I realized I had to do it then. There was none of this business of trying I just had to do it. There was no hoping for it, they were going to cut off part of my leg if I didn’t succeed. I never had problem since then.

~ Tag Powel

Silva helped me to cure from Guillain-Barre syndrome

Sister Elizabeth Reis, a Silva lecturer from Michigan, used both prayer and Silva method training, to recover form the Guillain-Barre syndrome. She said “Guillain- Barre Syndrome seems to take six months to several years for recovery. But within thirty days I was released bu my delighted and amazed doctor… walking talking, flying: a sign of the effectiveness of what Jose Silva calls energy, visualization, relaxation; what a Christian/holy person calls the prayer of faith.

~ Sister Elizabeth Reis, Michigan

Silva Method to treat hepatitis

Louise Owen, had hepatitis for more than a year and she was told that she was dying. The hepatitis had taken over the whole body and could not be arrested. Then, she attracted to a book on a Silva Method. She explained “During the week between the two halves of the series, I had an appointment with my doctor. He took another blood test and could not believe what he found: clear blood! So, he took a second test, and this confirmed the first. He couldn’t understand how anyone cold be healed of a terminal case of hepatitis in a week! But he had to admit as well!”

~ Louise Owen

Healing Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Marge Wolcott of Port Isabel, Texas explained “I had multiple sclerosis (MS) for fifteen years. When I came to Silva Method lectures, I was wearing a body brace an neck brace. I had to bring a special chair to sit in. I  had strong faith, but it was double after the course. A few months after graduating in March 1970, I took the braces off. I had worn the braces for about sever or eight years. Here’s what I did: using the Silva Method, I programmed three times ad day. Many people were calling me, asking me to help them, so I would go to level three times a day to program for them. Since I was programming for them, I’d also program for myself after I had finished programming for them.”

~ Marge Wolcott of Port Isabel, Texas

Silva to cure back problems

Barbara G. Parker, of Oklahoma City suffered from back problems for more that 2 years. Nothing had helped her and the chiropractor suggested to attend the Silva training. She said “I took Silva in November. In January, X-rays showed that the disc that was closing was now open as it should be. I am sleeping all night and the problem is better…“

~ Barbara G. Parker, of Oklahoma City

Nurse Uses Silva to Help Patients Heal Faster

As soon as her patients are “under” – in deep anesthesia- she whispers in their ears instructions that can speed their recovery, in some cases save their lives. During one operation, when profuse bleeding would normally be expected, the surgeon was amazed: There was only a trickle. Mrs Mabrey had whispered, “Tell your body not to bleed”. She did this before the first incision, then about every ten minutes during the operation. During another operation she whispered, “when you awaken you will feel that everyone in your life loves you and you will love yourself.” This patient was causing her surgeon special concern. She was tense, complaining woman to whom every pain was ominous – an attitude that could slow down her recovery. Later, as she awakened from the anesthetic, there was a new expression in her face, and three ,months later her surgeon told Mrs Mabrey that this once-anxious patient was “transformed”. She had become relaxed and optimistic and quickly recovered from her operation. ~ Mrs. Jean Mabrey, nurse-anesthetist, Oklahoma

Recovering from Near Blindness

For twenty-seven years she had worn glasses because of nearsighted astigmatism. As her nearsightedness increased, her lenses were made stronger, which reduces distance acuity. Before the improvement of her eyesight, bifocals became necessary. Then in July 1974, she decided to use Mind Control. In deep meditation she told herself, “every time I blink my eyes, they will focus accurately, like the lens of a camera.” During each meditation she repeated this, and in two weeks she began to live without glasses, though she still needed them for reading. She consult Dr. Richard Wlodyga, an optometrist, who told her that her cornea was slightly misshapen. Sister Barbara inserted the cornea correction into her meditation for the few weeks’ interval before another examination by Dr. Wlodyga. The following is part of a letter to the Silva Method organization from Dr. Wlodyga, which Sister Barbara asked him to write:

Sister Barbara Burns was first examined by me on Agust 20th 1974 …. I examined sister Burns again on August 26th 1975. She had not worn glasses for one year…. [The] patient has had a reduction in the amount of manifest myopia to a level where glasses have become unnecessary.

~ Sister Barbara Burns

Silva helped me not bleed until I got the hospital

Mrs Wildowsky was in a convention with her husband where she dived into a swimming pool and ruptured and eardrum. “We were miles from any town, and I didn’t want to make him leave in the middle of the convention,” she quoted as saying. “So I went to an Alpha state, put my hand over my ear, concentrated on the pain area and said ‘Gone, gone gone!’. The bleeding stopped immediately and the pain left. When I finally got to a doctor, he was speechless with amazement”

Using Silva During Delivery

“I graduated from the Silva Seminar in March, 2000 and here is how I used Silva to bring my son safely into the world. Beginning in my 3rd month, I began using Silva to program for my labor and delivery, using the Mirror of the Mind and general programming during the Long Relax for my success.  I programmed for a safe, easy, and short labor and delivery. I also programmed to sleep through my labor and to not have any pushing trouble.  I have had an aneurysm and have metal clips in my head so pushing is dangerous for me.

“I also talked to my son in utero, both out loud and with using subjective communication. I told him that I knew he and my body knew what to do and I would not get in the way but would trust Mother Nature.

“At about 4:30am my progress was checked and found that I had only dilated to 4. I had an epidural but I could still feel (it wasn’t a total block). I was completely relaxed. The nurse left the room saying nothing would probably happen before 10am .  I smiled and did my Long Relax and told myself I was completely relaxed and was letting my body and my baby do all the work since they knew what to do and I wasn’t going to get in the way.

“I fell asleep like this. Two hours later I “heard” my son’s voice – he was communicating back to me subjectively. He said, “I’m coming, you’d better wake up.”  I opened my eyes and the nurse walked in.  Aaron woke up and when he stepped over to the bed  I said, “He’s coming. I can feel him coming now.”

“So when the doctor came in I smiled and told him, “I can feel him coming now.”  He checked me and said, “She is dilated to 9 and the baby is at station 2. Go get Dr. Fuller to assist me.”  The nurse and Aaron were shocked!

“I could not push because of the danger to my aneurysm site, so I used the Long Relax to place my body in a very deep state of relaxation so I would do no pushing. I programmed myself not to feel the need to push and yet to feel my baby coming.  It worked.

“I never pushed once – two contractions later and my son was born.  I had completely relaxed my body using Silva and let him do all the work. I was in no pain or discomfort and never felt the overwhelming need to push.  Silva enabled me to really connect with my son during the entire labor and delivery process. It was truly a wonderful experience.”

p.s.  I did a similar thing with my daughter – did all the programming to sleep through labor and have her born without any pushing.  I fell asleep at 11am dilated to 3 and the nurse mentioned maybe by midnight that day she would arrive.  I woke up at 1pm with her being born.  I rang the nurse, told her, and the next thing I know, people were running – my daughter was born about ten minutes later – no pushing whatsoever!  All thanks to Silva!!!!

Using Silva and the Secret DVD to Finally Quit Smoking

My mother very kindly gave my husband Martin and I the Silva Ultra Mind ESP System as a joint birthday present. What a gift!

You see Martin and I had both been smokers for many years, we had both attempted to give up many times.  We had used patches, lozenges and gone cold turkey (which really wasn’t pleasant for any of the family). The desire was there, but the craving at that time seemed stronger.

We had also been fortunate enough to have been given a copy of The Secret dvd from a dear friend a couple of months earlier which we had watched over and over again so that we truly understood and absorbed this information.

With the combined techniques of both Silva Ultra Mind System and the information obtained in The Secret, we both managed to STOP smoking calmly and confidently.  In fact, I can say that I felt better and better each and every day, when in the past I had always felt light headed and agitated whilst trying to give up. I know that I am in control, not those “stinky sticks” as our children called them.

I personally have found a whole new lease on life, every day I wake up feeling refreshed, excited and grateful to be here.

I found by practicing this technique each and every day that I was able to stop smoking and still feel positive, happy and focused.  We were both able to stop without the aides of any patches, etc.

So now, I am still practising these techniques every day, now I am focusing on all the other wonderful things I can achieve in my life. I know that the rest of my life is truly the best of my life.

Using Silva to Lose Weight Effortlessly

Also, one of my long term goals in the class was to lose weight. Although I have not focussed much on this issue, I did do the three scenes in which I saw myself making better choices about what I eat, and ended with the result of being my ideal weight. <b>Recently, I noticed that without struggle I have made dramatic changes in the way I eat </b>– much less fat and sugar and smaller helpings, yet I seem to be more satisfied and enjoying the taste of the food I eat more than ever.
