Since then, every time I've re-read this book, especially the first 14 chapters, great things have happened. 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....

According to this book, there are two kinds of meditations: one is passive meditation, and the other is dynamic meditation. The Silva method helps to easily enter the alpha level of mind for meditative level.If you are looking for success,health, Prosperity and many more areas in your life Silva method is the most effective method for the self improvement. Tendría 7 u 8 años, no más que eso cuando leí "El Método Silva...", un libro que estaba en la biblioteca de casa. 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.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 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.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. The Silva method is one of th most profound and popular dynamic meditation system developed by Jose silva during late 1950s .It has been taught to millions of people around the world through seminars called Basic Lecture Series (BLS).
