You the Healer: The World-Famous Silva Method on How to Heal Yourself and Others [Paperback]

Silva & Stone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 28, 1992

Our health as a nation is declining. In addition, it is becoming increasingly clear that allopathic medicine has come to a plateau in its efforts to stem the tide of degenerative disease. As a result, mind-body medicine is a very big topic for the 90s. You the Healer offers a guide that can help you and your loved ones to live a healthy, disease-free life.

Based on the most successful mind development program in the world today, You the Healer offers a complete course in Silva Method healing techniques in a do-it-yourself, forty-day format. By reading one chapter a day and doing the indicated exercises, you can be firmly on the path to wellness in just six weeks. In You the Healer Jose Silva and Robert B. Stone offer a proven method of attuning to the special mind frequency called alpha. In this alpha frequency, a healing state is activated. These lower-frequency alpha brain waves can be used to achieve maximum well-being; they can be applied to healing yourself as you work with your health-care professional; and they can be used to help you heal others. Included are inspirational stories of people who have successfully used this method to regain their health after illness or injury.

Review

You the Healer is an eye opening, useful tool. It contains a forty-day step-by-step, home study course on how to become a healer and how to create and live a healthy disease-free life. It provides healing techniques that are not too esoteric and not too difficult. It's useful for everything from quitting addictions to migraine headaches - a very attractive and practical offering. -- Magical Blend Magazine, January 1990

Deprogramming negativity to facilitate wellness is the underlying principle of the Silva Method. In other words, by changing your mind you can change your health. There are thousands of success stories that serve as testimony to the effectiveness of the Silva Method, many of which have been documented by the authors in this book, making it interesting reading as well as enlightening. -- Connecting Link, Issue 8

This review is from: You the Healer: The World-Famous Silva Method on How to Heal Yourself and Others (Paperback)

The power of the human mind explained with clarity. Explains well the theory behind the Silva Method in a clear and concise fashion. The book moves easily into its application covering areas as diverse as overcoming stress, pain, healing the self and others at a distance (remote healing), subjective communication, clairvoyance and finding your purpose in life to achieving peace of mind. Having attended the Silva Mind Control course conducted by the co-author Robert B Stone in Kuala Lumpur in the early 90's, I found the method to work immediately for me. I was truly shocked. No overstatement. I recommend anyone to attend the course and prove it to themselves. This man Jose Silva will go down in history as a true genius who taught man to tap into his infinite genius within himself. He set the foundation for all the New Age Mind control, subjective communication methods etc, including remote viewing. This book is neatly arranged into forty daily sessions for easy consumption.

Complete the daily sessions and you will see it working for you as it did for me. The third part of the book covers specific medical problems, successful parenting, starting a child's education before birth to believe it or not, affecting the weather. The man is totally unselfish hoping it will rub off on us and work ultimately for the good of all mankind. Hope to meet you one day, Jose. The book covers areas wider than the title suggests. True value for money. Buy it!

This review is from: You the Healer: The World-Famous Silva Method on How to Heal Yourself and Others (Paperback)

This is not a book to read just once, but a practical workbook to be used over a period of at least 40 days in order to become familiar with the technique. Afterwards it can serve as a helpful guide to specific problems/solutions. It tells you how to mentally heal yourself and others and how to quit bad habits, and includes some specific applications e.g. for insomnia, headaches and weariness, depression, allergies, successful parenting etc. People who are serious about improving their lives will benefit greatly from studying You The Healer. It is also a valuable reference tool for esoteric/spiritual healers of all types.

This review is from: You the Healer: The World-Famous Silva Method on How to Heal Yourself and Others (Paperback)

I am only maybe 1/5 of the way into this book, but can tell you already that I highly recommend it. As a Reiki practitioner, I understand the concepts of energy and hands-on-healing, so I was receptive to the book before I received it. I have also been interested in and a believer in using the mind constructively throughout my entire life. I am also heavily into positive affirmations and visualization, and have taught some of these techniques to others in classes. This is a great book which teaches you how you can actively participate in pursuing far better health than you have probably ever dreamed of. Most people do not seem to really understand how really effective we can be at creating or preventing our health problems. Isn't it worth approximately ten bucks to find out how you can be healthier and happier for the rest of your life? Read it, practice it, and BELIEVE. I no longer have colds/flu, even when exposed to people with them. I have eliminated several medical conditions. Is it because of exercise and weight loss alone? Some may tell you that. The power within your mind, and self talk is astounding! Many now realize that. Neuro-linguistic programming (positive self-talk)is a mega $$$ business for a reason. Know also that negative self-talk can also have a profound effect on you, one that you do NOT want, so be careful what you "say" to yourself and about yourself, even in jest. Take this seriously.

Read this book and also check out books/CDs by Wayne Dyer. Check out the Silva DVDs/Cassettes recorded by Silva's daughter to meditate with. The down side of the book is that you cannot read meditations and do them at the same time, but what you could do with this book is to get yourself an inexpensive voice recorder and read the meditations onto the recorder. Then you could practice the meditations easier. If you do not have a soft voice, find a friend to record them for you.

Update, August 2007: Just returned from a Silva class in Pittsburg. It was wonderful! Did lots of meditations, like those in the book. Lots of visualizations, and lots of psychic/intuitive practice. You can find Silva classes online.

By the way, an important note is that with Silva techniques, there is an expectation that they be used for the betterment of all. If your intent is other than that, they probably will NOT work for you. I hate to mention that, but sometimes people want to use psychic powers to rip other people off or for self-centered reasons. There was someone in class who, it appeared, wanted to use Silva techniques to become a millionaire. It don't exactly work that way, Hon. (The person seemed to have difficulty doing the exercises, too.)

We're all in this together, folks. The correct concept is peace and love. That is the ONLY way to move forward, in my humble opinion, of course.
