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 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.

I had an accident with 150lbs of ice falling on me.My grandmother was looking for a book for me and this one fell out of the closet,"this must be the one, she thought."Prior to reading it I hadn't been able to move my wrist more than 1/4"and everytime the barometric pressure changed I felt alot of pain.Well,I read this book for 2 weeks with a meditation a day and by then my wrist had healed and I haven't had any pain 8 yrs since then.I recommend this book to anyone who can't afford the high price of hospitals.

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.

I have not had a good nights sleep in years.. I haven't had dreams in at least 2 years.... I started reading -You The Healer- at a friends suggestion a month ago... With in the first 2 weeks I noticed that I was sleeping all night and was having dreams that I could remember the next morning, nice dreams not bad ones.... I'm not even finished with the book...
Do I recommend it You bet I do.

Thank you... Pat

This book is a must-have for the betterment of humanity. Not only does it explain how you can heal yourself, but how you can heal and help others at a distance through the proper use of mental imaging. It leads you step by step through an inspiring 40 day workout where it explains not only HOW you can accomplish these miracles, but more importantly, WHY it works, and it makes sense! You can begin using these techniques immediately and see impressive results. It allows you to discover your "true purpose in life" - to help your fellow man. Along with attempting to help others, anonymously, who are in need, I send this book to them anonymously, then sit back and watch the results. This is the most positive, uplifting book ever written. The author is a true inspirational genius. Could you imagine what a wonderful paradise we would all live in if everybody practiced these techniques.

I got this book after I attended Silva ESP ultramind class. I was working on my health issues and not sure I did right thing. I searched and found this book. I read through it with two days. Jose Silva provided detailed instructions about how to enter level (there are 40 sessions, you can learn how to do it within two days in the class as I did) and some techniques for healings. There are also a lot of other people's healing stories. They are very encourage! I learned how to think what I want and direct my attention to something else to stop my leg cramping within two minuets.
I am reading this book over and over, I learn something more out of it every time I read it. I would recommend this book to all people who want to get rid of stress, heal themselves and help other people to heal. Your life is really getting better and better as he said.

For her entire life, my best friend had suffered from heart cancer. Apparently, nothing short of chemotherapy would help rid her of it. At best, she wouldn't live past 50. In desperation, I bought this book. My "desperation" was justified.

Jose Silva's book offers us an easy to follow forty-day guide to a better life. Just by using our minds, we can cure ourselves of any (I repeat: ANY) physical or mental disease, rid ourselves of bad habits, and even heal others at a distance.

And while to some extent I agree with those skeptical of Silva's work (he provides little evidence in support of many of his claims). But to those skeptics, I say this: no one really knows exactly how the Silva method works just as no one really knows how inertia or the Universe works -- it just does, and anyone wanting to heal themselves or others should be okay with that. In fact, just a short period of time after I began to implement the exercises outlined in this book, things looked up for my friend. She experienced relapses less frequently; there was a visible shrinkage of cancerous cells in her body. And in just three months, the cancer was gone entirely. Coincidence? Not likely.

Jose Silva was a genius who envisioned a perfect world,and You the Healer can only bring us closer to that world. The techniques outlined in this book are clear, concise, and life-changing. I should know -- they changed mine.

"Mind is the Builder" comes from Edgar Cayce readings and relates to Silva's philosophy. I almost suspect Silva read The Law of Psychic Phenomena(1893) by Thomson Hudson to develop his method as there are many similarities. This is a great read and also meshes with modern quantum physics and Christian Science. Anyone familiar with the "placebo" effect in medicine/psychology is also familiar with the power of suggestion. Silva maintains that in a self hypnotic state one can heal through a universal consciousness shared by everyone. After all consciousness creates reality from quantum possibilities doesn't it?

This book provides the answer to so many challenges we face as humans. A must read.
