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

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.

This book is a DIY course in the Silva Mind Control techniques. Jose Silva developed a method that allows you to consciously access an alpha state of mind, from which you can then activate healing. Alpha state is the state of lowered brain wave activity.

You hear a lot about 'your thoughts create your reality' these days, but Jose has been teaching this since 1966.

"Mind guides brain and brain guides body. Learn how to use your mind to heal your body."

My husband has been through the official Silva Course, and is a fan of the ideas.

3 Stars = I liked the book. I'm glad I read it.

Not sure why it took me so long to read this book but I am glad I did. As a Reiki master, I am very familiar with working in the alpha levels but Silva has a way of describing it that enhances one's experience at this level of healing. His exercises are quick and easy to learn and anyone can utilize them. I am adding this book to the list of recommended reading for my Reiki level 1 students. I gave it 4 stars because the book has not been updated. I would be curious to know what the latest studies show.

This stuff works to an extent. So this stuff works, but Silva is lying and was wrong about many things.
He claims someone who used his method had bad eyesight and used his method and got perfect 20/20 in a short time. Go google Jose Silva author of this book and you'll see he's wearing huge glasses, so why doesn't he use his method to heal his eyesight? He wrote this book before he started wearing glasses.
This book is basic introduction to self hypnosis.

Heal your mind, heal your life. Silva believes that there’s nothing you can’t heal or overcome through meditation and deep, relaxed intention. If you’re up for the challenge of meditating morning and night and awakening the unforeseen power of the human mind, you can heal not only yourself but others around you. I healed many of my own ailments through this book and continue to do so with the tools I’ve acquired. Find out what’s behind your eyes with the tools of Jose Silva.

Great core concept but not a great read. I believe in the mind body connection, I believe in mind over matter, I believe in meditation. This book reads more like an infomercial it felt they were constantly trying to prove the concept to me.

«دستان شفا‌بخش» نوشته خوزه سیلوا(۱۹۱۴-) نویسنده آمریکایی است. پیوند تنگاتنگ میان ذهن و بدن بر کسی پوشیده نیست و به‌راحتی می‌توان این موضوع را اثبات کرد. در دسته‌بندی بیماری‌های روانی به بیماری‌هایی برمی‌خوریم که به آن‌ها اختلالات پسیکوسوماتیک یا روان‌تنی می‌گویند. این اختلالات شامل آن دسته از بیماری‌های جسمانی هستند که ریشه‌ی روانی دارند. برخی اندیشمندان بیشتر‌ بیماری‌های جسمانی را روان‌تنی می‌شمارند و بر این باورند که به کمک نیروی ذهن می‌توان با این بیماری‌ها و ناراحتی‌ها به رویارویی پرداخت. خوزه سیلوا از این دسته از اندیشمندان است و در این راه، پس از سال‌ها تلاش و پژوهش، شیوه‌ای به نام «متد سیلوا» را پدید آورده است که دوره‌های آموزشی آن اکنون در بیش از صد و بیست کشور دنیا از جمله ایران برگزار می‌شود.

اگر بیماری درمان‌ناپذیری دارید و از مراجعه به پزشکان نتیجه‌ای نگرفته‌اید، اگر در دام عادات ناپسند خود گرفتارید، یا اگر تندرست هستید و می‌خواهید همیشه تندرست بمانید، شنیدن کتاب صوتی دستان شفا بخش برای شما بسیار سودمند و کارساز خواهد بود.
