Healing the Physical and Spiritual Self, April 26, 2009
This review is from: Psychic Healing: Using the Tools of a Medium to Cure Whatever Ails You (Hardcover)
This 209 page book is in 2 major parts: In the first part, is Sylvia tells you how you can do some healing on yourself, not discounting Western medicine, but as an enhancement to it. The second part of the book is question and answer with her 2 primary guides: Francine and Raheim. This book is in simple language and is relatively fast-read text, as I have found the other books of Sylvia's that I have. (I only have a couple, though.)
In simple language and through page 42, Sylvia states her belief that most illness comes from cell memory, mental disharmony, or as part of our charts (something we decided to experience before we came here). She goes into the concept that people have the ability to heal themselves much of the time but that lack of awareness, lack of belief, and lack of the knowledge of how to do it prevent many of them from accomplishment. She claims that each cell in your body knows and remembers how to be healthy, but people must also truly WANT to be healed. (Although hard to believe, some people really want to be sick more than they want to be healthy. There are lots of reasons. Primarily, they could enjoy the attention they get when sick or a behavioral change is just not worth the effort to them.)
Sylvia delves into how much power the mind can have over your body, the effects of positive thinking vs. negative thinking, self-programming, negative programming, using visualization, using emotion and passion in self-healing, and so much more. Again, she explains these concepts in a way that they are easy to understand.
Page 45 through the rest of the book covers the Q & As with the guides, where they address questions posed to Sylvia. In a conversational tone, they answer questions about depression, exercise, chemotherapy, cancer, maintaining balance, using our minds to promote health and wellness, genetics, illness, Alzheimer's, cell memory, effects of past lives, etc. etc. etc. Quite a lot of information is included in this section..
This book talks about many of the things that I truly believe. I have been taught many of these concepts by my own guides through meditation and dreams. If you are uncomfortable with the concept of guides, substitute "angels," "inner self," "the little voice inside," whatever terminology makes you comfortable. There are many beings out there that are ready and willing to teach us when we drop the paradigms and think outside of the box, to quote the trendy business lingo of the 90s and 2000s. Anyway, I have told these things to many people--some believe, some do not. It's their choice. I have also found that it was easiest to connect to Spiritual guidance when you: 1) Rid yourself of as much negativity as possible; and 2) Ask and be open to receiving assistance. It seems that in this realm, it is necessary to BELIEVE first, and then you will begin to see.
Your mind is a very powerful tool. Most of us seriously UNDERESTIMATE the power of our own minds. Once you believe this, it seems that you can use your mind to tell your body to reject illnesses (like the flu, when everyone around you is sick), warts that you don't want, headaches, and a whole lot more. It seems unbelievable because we have been conditioned to believe otherwise. After all, it is so much easier to just pop an aspirin. BUT, you really need to use your mind in conjunction with traditional doctor's visits to make sure you have been successful. (My opinion of course--any Sylvia seems to believe the same.)
Awhile ago some co-workers asked me why I was so darned happy. We got into this discussion and I told them that they should generate their own endorphins, but people want pills. They want to be TOLD what to do. They want a quick fix.
Negative programming is also tremendously powerful, and it is everywhere today. It will tell you everything from the implication that you have to be built like Barbie to be beautiful to the need for a specific medicine to enjoy life again. It will make you afraid to even talk to people if you let it. Negative programming will suck the quality of life right out of you if you let it, while you spend your remaining days depressed and fearful of everything and everybody.
If you would rather be proactive in your own self-healing than to follow the crowd in queue into the bottomless pit, you may want to consider this book. It provides good base info on using your mind constructively to support a healthier lifestyle. It is NEVER too late to start. Even if you don't believe everything, if you just get the part about how powerful your mind is, that will help you more than your wildest dreams can imagine. If you get this book, I suggest buying a highlighter. I think there are a lot of spots you will want to refer back to.
Your perception is your reality! You are only a victim if you allow it to be so!
May the angels guide you on your path to awareness. Namaste'

Eh, redundancy, typgraphical errors, March 17, 2009
This review is from: Psychic Healing: Using the Tools of a Medium to Cure Whatever Ails You (Hardcover)
I'm only on page 21 and I've found a few typo's already. On top of that much of the information that I've read so far was written in her other books. In reading her books these days I seem to keep having to sift through the material that has already been published to find something new. Yes, I'm a fan. That means I've read more than a few of her books. I can appreciate the concept of writing for new readers of her material, therefore, I'll overlook the redundancy. Typo's on the other hand I can't excuse, one more check before sending the book to the printers would've been helpful.
All that said, the information in this book is priceless and it's always handy to have the necessary tools published in one volume. Now if we would all start applying the information that's written, maybe the world would be a drama free zone.
