The Silva Mind Control Method

Product Information

Silva wrote a book, You the Healer, on how to use the Silva Mind Control Method to heal yourself and others. He also started the Ecumenical Society of Psychorientology Inc. to protect users from allegations of practicing medicine without a license. Now project onto the screen – still further left – a vivid image of the person in perfect health, filled with energy and optimism. By visualizing with conviction in Alpha and Theta you are causing. Visualize the results you want as being already achieved. Stone, Robert B. (1990). José Silva: The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Human Mind and the Method He Used. H.J. Kramer, Inc. ISBN 0-915811-29-4. The Silva Mind Control Method was written sometime in the 70s, so parts of this book are a bit dated, just be aware. But it did give me some better tools for learning how to meditate that I thought were more useful than in some of the other books I've read on how to focus your mind and get into alpha, delta and theta states. There were things to practice and a plan on how to get there. For me, that was the the item that helped me the most. Jose Silva was born in Laredo, Texas . He and his older sister and younger brother were raised by their grandmother. Silva supported the family from the age of 6 by selling newspapers, shining shoes, and doing odd jobs. He never attended school as a student, but learned to read and write by watching his sister and brother do their homework. Silva was able to study a correspondence course on radio repair through an agreement with the town barber, under which the barber rented the lessons to Silva, and Silva earned the diploma in the barber's name.

A system developed by José Silva (1914- ) that claims to develop improved memory, learning ability, and paranormal powers like telepathy. Much of the course consists of 'visiting' absent persons imagined by students and performing diagnoses on them. No tests of the validity of this practice have been done; such tests are discouraged by the teachers of the system. This was José Silva’s first book on the Silva Mind method. It is what I would call a “must-read”. Learning this method should be made obligatory in all schools and be offered to children at an early age.The language maybe a little complicated for the beginners. Avid readers will have to problem through the book. The writing style is oriented and powerful. In this period, ESP was becoming a subject of scientific inquiry, largely through the published work of Dr. J. B. Rhine of Duke University. Silva wrote to Rhine to report that he had trained his daughter to practice ESP. In his response, Rhine pointed out that Silva's daughter may have been psychic before the training, and that he had not pretested her. Silva then worked to reproduce his results, and over the next ten years he trained thirty-nine Laredo residents, both children and adults, and continued to refine his process. He believed that he had developed a method to teach anyone to use ESP. [ citation needed] Silva's method Silva's first reported experience with ESP (normally standing for extrasensory perception, but Silva preferred to call it effective sensory perception) occurred one evening in 1953, while his daughter was in her "alpha level." Silva was questioning his daughter about her school work, and as she answered each question, he framed the next in his mind, before verbally asking the question. Silva reported that his daughter began to give the answers to the questions he was forming in his mind before he verbalized them. a b Carroll, Robert Todd (2003). "Silva Method".

The definitions in the book are very accurate. There were do many definations that just hit me on my brain and filled a void. One thing that must be mentioned is that it is a very self-praising book which becomes boring after a point. During World War II, Silva joined the Signal Corps. At his induction, he was examined by an Army psychiatrist. Intrigued by the psychiatrist's odd questions, Silva inquired about a book on hypnosis that was sitting on the psychiatrist's bookshelf. As a result, Silva began to study psychology and, in particular, the nature of hypnotic suggestion and perception in altered states. While in the Signal Corps, Silva studied advanced electronics and became an instructor.

Go to your meditative level and project the person onto your mental screen with whatever ailment is troubling him. Peter Clarke (March 2004). Encyclopedia of New Religious Movements. Routledge. pp.591–592. ISBN 978-1-134-49970-0. Since this part of the brain operated more efficiently, Silva believed that it could receive and store more information. The crucial problem for Silva was to keep the mind alert at these frequencies, which are associated more with daydreaming and sleep than with practical activity. When Silva was discharged, he resumed his radio repair business. The newly established Laredo Junior College asked him to create an electronics training program for the school. Five years later, with the spread of television, his repair business began to flourish and Silva ended his teaching career. [ citation needed] Career in parapsychology

Silva's original ESP training method took 40 to 48 hours to complete. The method as currently promoted has been reduced to 18 to 20 hours through an apparent refinement of technique. Contemporary reports suggest as little as 12 to 14 hours is required by especially able practitioners. [ citation needed] It is an entirely method based book. The structure of the book too, is methodological. Some of these methods are those that are new whereas the other, you may have been using it since a long long time, unknowningly. Again, it is a scientific approach to methods like meditation. The exercises from which Silva's techniques evolved called for relaxed concentration and vivid mental visualization and ways of reaching lower levels. He believed that these levels proved more effective in learning than the fully awake, or beta wave, level. The proof for Silva was that in the three-year period that he worked with his children to develop his techniques, their grades in school sharply improved. [ citation needed] ESP experienceIn 1944 Silva began developing his method, formerly known as Silva Mind Control. He used it on his family members and friends before launching it commercially in the 1960s. [1] [5] The technique aims to reach and sustain a state of mental functioning, called alpha state, where brainwave frequency is seven to fourteen Hz. [7] :p19-20 Daydreaming and the transition to sleeping are alpha states. [7] :p19-20 claims to develop improved memory, learning ability, and paranormal powers like telepathy. Much of the course consists of "visiting" absent persons imagined by students and performing diagnoses on them. No tests of the validity of this practice have been done; such tests are discouraged by the teachers of the system. See also [ edit ]

In this book, José begins by teaching us how to meditate, to reach Alpha, the state in which our brain waves vibrate at between 7 and 14 cycles per second. We create a mental screen on which we can visualize/imagine our goals, and project the bodies of the subjects we wish to heal, including ourselves.
