Mind Over Cancer

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

The concept of Creative Visualization has been around for decades. In fact, 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 focusing on wanting it (which is essentially the state of ‘not having’ it).

The Silva Method teaches a variety of advanced visualization techniques and exercises that are designed to be easily induced yet powerful enough to facilitate the mind’s natural healing 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. Wholeheartedly believe that this goal is possible.
3. Fully expect this goal to happen.

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

At the core of D-B-E is the placebo effect: the widely documented phenomenon in which   a patient can trigger self-healing  by  the mere belief that they will be cured.  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.

In fact, 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.

Eric)- I Wrote this so we can see all of the corresponding ideas that the Silva method       has in common with Tms healing!!!!-
1) Altering states or controlled meditative and loving states 2) Speaking to the problem    3) Also Focusing  4) Seeing yourself healed in visuals  5) loving yourself unconditionally      7) Thinking Clean 8) The neutralizing of anger and guilt through soothing and love of self    9) Becoming a loving and forgiving person to yourself and others  10) To go to your level means your level of mindfulness in the now While practicing focusing or any other mind control technique as visuals affirmations and meditations. 11) Using a mental screen and dis- association as in Hypnotherapy To change the meaning of the pain. 12) becoming a part of society again

Jose Silva)- Many graduates report they use Mind Control in emergencies to reduce bleeding and pain. Example:Mrs. Donald Wildowsky was in Texas on a convention trip with her husband.  According to the Norwich,  Connecticut, Bulletin,  she  dived  into  a swimming pool and ruptured an eardrum. “We were miles from any town, and I didn’t want to make him leave in the middle of the convention,”  she was quoted as saying. ” 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.”

In self-healing, there are six fairly easy steps to take:

The first is to begin—in Beta—to feel yourself becoming a loving (and therefore a forgiving) person, and to consider love as an end in itself. This will probably require a pretty thorough mental housecleaning.
Second, go to your level. This alone is a major step Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health toward self-healing because, as I mentioned much earlier,at this level the negative work of the mind—all its guilts and angers — is neutralized,  and the body is set free to do what nature designed it to do: repair itself.  You may,  of course,  have very real feelings of guilt and anger, but we have found that these will be experienced only at the outer, or Beta, level and they tend to disappear as you practice Mind Control.
Third, mentally speak to yourself about step one:Express your desire to achieve a thorough mental housecleaning—to use positive words, to think positively,to become a loving, forgiving person.
Fourth, mentally experience the illness that is troubling you. Use the mental screen and see and feel the illness. This should be brief; its purpose is simply to focus your healing energies where they are needed.
Fifth, quickly erase this image of your illness and experience yourself as completely cured. Feel the freedom and happiness of being in perfect health. Hold on to this image, linger over it enjoy it and know that you deserve it—know that now in this healthy state you are fully in tune with nature’s intentions for you.
Sixth, reinforce your mental housecleaning once again, and end by saying to yourself, “Every day in every way I am getting better, better, and better.”
How long should this take and how often should you do it? My experience is that fifteen minutes is about the best length of time. Go through this exercise as often as you can, no less often than once a day. There is no “too much “Allow me to digress for a moment. You may have heard that meditation is a fine thing but that you must be careful not to become so enchanted by it that you do too much.
.
This, it is said, can lead to a withdrawal from the world and an unhealthy preoccupation with yourself. Whether this is true or not, I do not know. This is said of other meditative disciplines, not Mind Control. Our emphasis is on involvement with the world, not withdrawal from it—not with transcending practical problems or ignoring them, but with facing them head-on and solving them. You cannot do too much of this.
