role in healing

The mind’s role in healing.

Jose Silva, the founder of the Silva Method, believed that 90% of illnesses come from the human mind—and can therefore, to an extent, be reversed by the mind too.

The Silva Method’s goal is to help every person awaken their mind’s natural healing ability, so they can transform it from a trigger of disease, to a catalyst for holistic wellbeing. We’ve been working towards this goal since 1967, collaborating with top scientists and researchers, and training millions of people from across the world with our method.

Through over 5 decades of working with tens of thousands of Silva students, we’ve identified three essential requirements for effective mind-body healing:

Learn to function at the Alpha and Theta levels of mind. 

Going to the Alpha and Theta levels have the same effect as meditating. When someone meditates, scientifically, they are simply reducing their brain wave frequency to Alpha or Theta.

Jose Silva found that people who can remain in the Alpha and Theta levels are able to put their mind and body in a state conducive to healing, where cells repair, stress dissipates, the immune system strengthens, and physical symptoms of illness are in some cases reduced.

Imagine being able to rewire yourself, without spending thousands of dollars on a professional hypnotherapist. What if you could more easily overcome unhealthy habits like smoking or snacking? What if you could change negative thought patterns to positive ones? And what if you could awaken your mind’s natural healing capacity, all by simply working with your own mind?

The Silva Method has created a variety of guided meditations and techniques, such as the 3 Fingers Technique, that instantly guide you into the Alpha and Theta level. These are designed to help you comfortably remain in this state for as long as necessary to achieve your intended goal.

Learn to harness the power of Healing Imagery. 

Healing Imagery, also known as Visualization, involves visualizing the end result of your goal or desire while you are in the Alpha or Theta level of mind.

The concept of Creative Visualization has been known for ages. It gained renewed popularity in the 1970s when a Silva graduate by the name of Shakti Gawain wrote a best-selling book about it.

One of our most important rules for visualization is that it should be done in the present tense. For example if you’re looking to manage arthritis, you should visualize yourself free of arthritis, and feel the moment as if it is happening this instant and not some time in the future.

In other words, feel the sense of joy of being arthritis-free, rather than the sense of wanting or the sense of desire for it.

The Silva Method teaches a variety of advanced visualization techniques and exercises that are designed to be easily-induced yet immersive experiences that aid in facilitating and accelerating the mind’s natural healing process.

Master the D-B-E thought process. 

In working with our students we have discovered that lasting success with any health-related goal—whether it’s to shake off a minor ailment or reduce the symptoms of a serious illness—can only happen when you condition your mind for 3 outcomes:

1. Develop a deep desire for your goal.
2. Whole-heartedly believe that this goal is possible.
3. Fully expect this goal to happen.

We call this thought process Desire-Belief-Expectancy or DBE, and although it may sound simple on the surface, mastering it requires a significant level of control over your subconscious mind.

Deep desire, for example, requires you to eliminate the emotional inconsistencies that may conflict with what you think you want. Belief may be hindered by personal insecurities. Expectations may be held back by negativity and self-doubt.

The Silva Method trains you to you access your subconscious, and readjust your DBE thought process for better alignment with your natural healing abilities. We do this through our Positive Programming techniques.

are you looking at the big picture?

When it comes to your health, are you looking at the big picture?

If there’s one thing you don’t want to cut corners on, it’s your health. Any sensible person will tell you it’s worth every cent and every ounce of effort to eat the healthiest food, exercise frequently, and when you’re sick, visit a good doctor who can prescribe you the best medicine and treatment.

five rules for mind-body healing

A scientist discovers the five rules for mind-body healing.

Dr. William Braud, a close friend of Jose Silva’s, was one of the pioneers of mind-body healing research. After hundreds of experiments performed at the San Antonio Mind Science Research Center, Dr. Braud synthesized this concept into a framework known as the Five Rules of Mind-Body Healing:

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.
3. Learning visualization or imagery techniques since pictures are the preferred language of the mind.
4. Incorporating intent into the process, by setting an intention for a goal to be achieved, and an expectation that it will.
5. The evocation of strong positive emotions during the healing process.

Jose Silva’s discoveries, which he made earlier in the 1950s and 60s, closely resemble Braud’s eventual scientific validation.

The key to successfully harnessing these rules lies in overcoming your mind’s limitations, and training it to fully access and believe in its natural ability to heal.

And that’s where The Silva Method comes in.

The media, thought leaders and the masses take notice

The media, thought leaders and the masses take notice. 

The Silva Method, which was pioneered by Texas native Jose Silva in 1960, is the basis of many personal growth and healing programs in the United States, and has been covered in various media including the New York Times and The Washington Post. The Silva Method’s first book went on to become an international bestseller, selling over 6 million copies.

Many personal growth icons have also enthusiastically endorsed The Silva Method. Jack Canfield, for example, has since called it the source of the human potential movement, and “one of the most profound approaches to human potential development I have ever discovered”.

Although Silva passed away in 1999, his teachings continue to be spread worldwide through his organization, Silva International. Today, over 6 million people in 110 countries, including doctors, entrepreneurs, artists and celebrities, have used our training to improve their lives in many inspiring ways. Which is why we’re confident that no matter what your personal objective is, you too can experience positive results.
