The Silva Mind Control Method

Product Information

Passive meditation is in itself is effective in that worries and feelings of guilt or anger are absent during the meditation. Also it leads to what is called a happy stillness, or inner peace. Tendría 7 u 8 años, no más que eso cuando leí "El Método Silva...", un libro que estaba en la biblioteca de casa.

We’re informed about what I regard as the most exciting part of Silva, the method we now apparently are taught in the Silva Intuition Course, where we tune into unknown people, spot whatever problems they may have, and correct these problems. 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. When imagining what we want, we need to desire that the event take place, believe that it will take place and expect it to take place. According to this book, there are two kinds of meditations: one is passive meditation, and the other is dynamic meditation.

This book introduces many ways to take control of your mind. Among them, I got interested in the following two ways: Even persons addicted to hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine can be healed through the Silva method. I myself easily got rid of the smoking habit many years ago through a Silva technique – I programmed for 30 days that I would stop on a certain date, and when the day came I simply stopped from one day to the next, and never smoked again – in fact I could not. 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.

Since The Silva Mind Control Method was first published in hardcover, over one million people (including top celebrities) have graduated from Mind Control training to use their minds at a deeper and more effective level, even in their sleep! Everything that the author has said about meditation, a topic that has been covered in Chapter 3 of the book, has undoubtedly been borrowed from Oriental religions like Hinduism and Hindu archaryas like Swamis Rama and Sivananda. Other concepts like engaging in regular "spiritual" practice, communing with creation, developing large-heartedness, acquiring concentration, importance of "Higher Intelligence" (which he says is not God), powers of thoughts and imagination, and the self-healing definitely have their genesis in non-Abrahamic religions. 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. 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.Since then, every time I've re-read this book, especially the first 14 chapters, great things have happened.

Very interesting book... I will definitely try the techniques described and hope one day to attend the course, if it is still held somewhere. José Silvadoros (later shortened to José Silva), was an electronics repairman who developed an interest in psychology to see if it could help him increase his children's IQ. After experimenting and being convinced of his daughter's sudden clairvoyance, Silva decided to learn more about the development of psychic abilities. 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.

Today I recalled I know and read it long ago. This summarizes my twenty years of what I think about any of such books: Learning that there can be some kind of control on one’s life makes me feel that life is somehow fair... that people have such powerful resources as a birth right and can achieve what they want despite circumstances feels good, gives me faith an less hopelessness and helplessness.... I first read The Silva Mind Control Method in 1984 while in college. Every time I applied his visualization techniques, good things happened. After more than a few amazing tangible results, I realized it wasn't a coincidence. Go to your meditative level and project the person onto your mental screen with whatever ailment is troubling him. We hear how José once won 10,000 dollars after receiving a set of lottery numbers in a dream, and we learn how we ourselves can programme for dreams to solve specific problems – though he doesn’t promise that we will win the lottery!

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. When we work in Alpha, we are in touch with Higher Intelligence and can only create good things. If, for example, we should try to give someone a headache, we are the ones that would get the headache, and/or we would snap out of Alpha. 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.MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MIND The world's foremost producer of personal development and motivational audio programs now teaches you how to tap the secrets of the mind for total self-mastery. Your mind has a power so great that it can change -- and dramatically improve -- every aspect of your life. Now The Silva Method gives you the ability to use this immense power by forging a direct path to the deep wells of creative, intuitive insight that each of us possesses -- but only a fraction of us ever use. Dr. Robert B. Stone, an internationally known lecturer on the Silva Method, along with José Silva and Laura Silva, offers a step-by-step program to teach yourself how to access the powerful right side of your brain and to help you learn * better your health I have been learning a lot, but not implementing it properly. You can tell José Silva wants to share as much information as possible in this book. I didn't grasp it fully the first time, but maybe as I re-read it, I will actually use the Alpha meditative states in my daily life. I will say that really only the first half of the book was helpful to me and then it got a little too woo-woo (yes that is the technical term) for even me. I'm a huge believer of your mind being able to control the world around you and you are the creator of that world. I think this book could give you some tools on how to tap into some secret depths of your mind to really make the most of your life and your place in it. Me acuerdo haber pensado, ya en esa época, que Silva era un charlatán, que su método era inservible y para mentes débiles, y que todo aquello era una gran farsa. Bueno, con los años rellené aquella descripción con un poco más de cinismo y unas cuantas floridas descripciones más al respecto. Creo que desde entonces odio profundamente todo lo que sea autoayuda, más esa autoayuda que pretende ser -porque es pretenciosa- metafísica, cuando es un capitalismo descarnado lo que hay tras la escritura de estas páginas.
