Techniques and exercises using the Jose Silva method. Silva method - development of intuition and extrasensory abilities using the Silva method

In this article I will talk about the Silva method from a scientific point of view. Let's look at what this method can do and what it can't. How and in what cases it can be used.

Development of psychic abilities using the Silva method

Jose Silva, in his book “Developing Psychic Abilities Using the Silva Method,” states that psychic abilities are developed.

At the moment, the presence of extrasensory abilities has not been scientifically confirmed. Below are 4 awards for demonstrating Supernatural abilities. To date, no one has received these awards. Those. from a scientific point of view, the book is nothing more than the author’s fiction.

Intuition

I'll tell you how intuition works and why we can sometimes predict how events will develop (this is what we call intuition).

While we are growing, we observe many different situations, many different people, and all this is analyzed by ours. There are certain patterns and patterns. All this is recorded in our memory.

With our consciousness, we cannot analyze thousands of situations in order to quickly make the most likely forecast. But it has a different operating speed due to its simplicity (this is one of its main functions - automation of routine processes).

The unconscious can predict, for example, what kind of person stands in front of us. Over the course of our entire adult lives, we have seen 1000 different people, and based on their appearance and behavior, we can say what to expect from him. And sometimes this information will be really close to reality, because a person’s behavior leaves an imprint on his appearance and manners.

But, for example, our unconscious cannot predict whether this person will be useful to us, nor can the conscious part of the brain. How many times have I encountered the fact that I received enormous help from people from whom I did not expect this help.

Intuition is nothing more than statistics and analysis. The unconscious, using statistical information, can make some correct predictions. But as often happens, when we get a negative result, we blame others and circumstances, but when everything works out for us, we attribute the merit to ourselves. Your own intuition, foresight.

I would like to separately touch on the topic of complex forecasts. After all, it is quite simple to determine by his appearance and manner of behavior. If a person deceives others, then this leaves an imprint on his behavior. His eyes dart, his gestures are intermittent, he is evasive in his answers. There are, of course, exceptions, for example, psychics who promise incredible results, knowing that the results, if any, will be random. Here we are dealing with professional deceivers.

If a person experiences, then no matter how hard he tries to show himself as brave, his fear will break through. Maybe in 3 seconds you won’t understand what this person is like. But within 30 minutes of communication, you will begin to develop a real picture that will be close to reality.

Since the process of behavior is quite complex and includes many actions, facial expressions, voices, it is quite difficult to manage all this at the same time. Our true essence will break through. That is why we can quite clearly determine what kind of person is in front of us. At least thoughts on this matter will arise.

Everything is clear with people, but what about forecasts? I consider predicting how certain events will develop to be a completely pointless process. Many studies have already been conducted on the topic of how professional forecasts coincide with reality. For example, the collapse of the USSR was predicted by a negligible number of experts. Experts make predictions no better than ordinary people. This suggests that what is happening to us is a rather chaotic process.

What is important is not how certain events will develop, not to predict them, but the decision to move on, even if the event does not go the best way. The mood to move and defend your position, achieve your goal.

Usually how? It didn’t work the first time, they gave up everything and switched to another task. The outcome of the case depends on this. In the question “whether we will achieve our goals or not”, what matters is not how events will develop, but how we will react to them. Because at any moment in time we have thousands of different variations of how to act. If we are focused on the goal at each moment, then we can notice from these thousands of variations those that can potentially lead to the goal.

Just like a small child, when learning to walk, does not give up learning after the first unsuccessful attempt, does not give up after the tenth and after the hundredth. Every time he tries to get up and walk, he has two possible options:

1. Will do
2. It won't work.

From this it is clear that the more he tries, the more likely it is that he will get what he needs. Also in other areas in which we want to achieve the goal. The more we invest in our goal, the greater the chances of the desired outcome. And in most cases, we arrive at the goal not in the same way that we outlined at the very beginning. Because we don’t know how events will develop and what awaits us ahead.

Even 15 years ago, no one could predict what he would have in 2017. There will be a phone in your pocket that will be as powerful as computers and will also have access to the Internet, 3D games, watch videos, make payments directly from the phone and much more. If you had told me in 2002 that you would have a device that would cost the same as a cell phone of that time (for example, Siemens c35), I would have twirled my finger at my temple.

Let's return to the method of Jose Silva, which says that you need to be guided by your inner voice and this voice is the voice of intuition. As I already said, intuitively we can only guess events that are very simple in structure.

• Expectation of heavy rain, wind (has physical prerequisites).
• Your own well-being (has physical prerequisites).
• Spoiled food (smell).
• Human character (facial expressions, gestures, slang words)

But when it comes to complex forecasts, for example, whether a new business will fail, intuition is powerless here. If we talk about business, the decisive factor will be how you invest in this business.

Many people who are successful in business, when they start a new business project, they don't always go the same way that they originally planned. As they move, they see new opportunities opening up. Their original beginnings are changed so much that nothing remains of them.

They open a direction, see that it turned out to be unprofitable and immediately, thanks to the knowledge gained, modify it. It turns out a new but working scheme, and it begins to give results.

People who have achieved great results in business are not those who predicted the trend, but those who quickly adapt to the market. Here, of course, there is no talk of intuition.

I know that it will be exactly like this

The Silva method says that to achieve results you need to know what will happen. But the main thing here is not faith that this will happen (although faith helps in implementing plans), but determination. Determination to fight to the end, even if the first time, even if it doesn’t work out on the 10th, I will still go towards my goal. And as I gave examples above, sooner or later you will succeed. Because not a single adult crawls on his knees (although I would not call the process of walking elementary). Children have such a strong desire to be like their parents, so each of them achieves results. All you need to do is not give up after the first defeat.

Technique for making wishes come true: a glass of water

Let's look at the glass technique, which helps solve the problem in the best way. All you need to do is drink half a glass of water before going to bed, formulate a request, and the next morning drink the remaining half a glass to formulate a request. According to the Silva method, you will either get the answer, or you will meet the right person, or the situation will turn out the way you want.

This technique is partly true in that when you clearly formulate your goal, from the thousands of variations of how you should act at any given time, you will unconsciously pay attention to those that will potentially lead you to the desired results. You might as well butter your sandwich and say, “When I eat this sandwich, after a while my situation will be resolved.”

You clearly formulated your goal and believed in it through the sandwich. And then this task goes into background processes. Your unconscious monitors your surroundings in order to find possible options for how to act. Consciously tracking profitable moves to achieve a goal is quite labor-intensive; constant concentration is required.

What do you need to do to achieve your goals easily and quickly?

1. Clearly state the goal. Keep this goal in your sights. For example, you got up in the morning and thought about what you want to achieve and what you can do to achieve this goal.
2. Act with the goal in mind. Realizing that you are getting closer to the result with every step.

Three finger technique

Let's look at another method from Jose Silva's book, the 3-finger technique to achieve an emotional state. You need to fold three fingers and say I’ll calm down now, and your emotions will come into order. It will probably actually work for some people. Because no one has canceled the placebo effect, if you believe in it, then it will really happen.

Your subconscious mind will put your feelings in order, because for it it does not present any difficulty. After all, it was it that created these feelings, and the subconscious can also remove them. The decisive factor here is faith.

You can believe that after you eat a banana, you will immediately feel a surge of happiness. Even if you had deep pain, eating a banana will give you relief. And after that, you will want to write a book with the secret banana techniques that you just discovered.

Entering the alpha state using the Silva method

The Silva method also talks about how to enter the alpha state. You need to lie down and slowly count from 100 to 1. When you count to one, imagine as if you have achieved success and entered the alpha state. This is a fairly simple, but not the most effective way to enter a trance.

And it will work for those whose body is relaxed. If the body is tense, then it is better to resort to gradual muscle relaxation, starting from the head and gradually going down.

You can also use audio meditations, here is one of them recorded by me using the hypnosis technique:

The story about oil wells

And finally, the story described in the book of the Silva method is about how Bob searched for oil wells using this method. As I said at the very beginning, none of the prizes for paranormal abilities have been paid to date. If the book really told the truth, then we would see confirmation in the scientific community - by awarding one of the prizes to a follower of the Silva method. Therefore, this story (a review from one of the followers of the Silva method) is nothing more than fiction, or a lucky coincidence, an accident. Which should not be considered as a pattern.

For example, if I say that the method is: “To solve any situation, just lie down and do nothing, and the situation will solve itself.” It really could happen that it will work. Maybe in one of thousands of situations it will actually turn out this way. Will this technique be effective in other cases? Unlikely. Should I recommend it to everyone - no.

If I was able to resolve the issue in this way, this does not mean that others need to resort to the same methods. What is important is not the cases that confirm the methodology, but the percentage of the total number. If the technique works in more than 10% of cases, then it already has the right to life.

I would also like to warn those people who prefer to develop without leaving home, that is, by self-improvement (the Silva method is just such an approach). The path most often turns out to be a dead end. In this video I explain why:

That's all I have.

Be healthy and happy!
Oleg.

One way or another, each of us regularly faces problems - troubles and troubles at work, in our personal lives, problems of choice, in particular, our life path. Our mood, quality of life, and worldview as a whole depend on their decision. But it is the worldview and perception that determines how quickly and effectively we can get out of an unpleasant situation. Whether you sit back and complain about fate, or whether you raise your head proudly and act, whether you follow the standard path or find a new approach - this is what a person’s success and satisfaction with his life often depends on.

Sometimes it seems that we cannot find the optimal solution, but the human mind is capable of much, the main thing is to use it to the maximum. It is to develop thinking, intuition, to use the hidden capabilities of your mind, which I have already begun to tell you about in my previous articles.

Jose's idea is that the superpowers of the mind are just conscious control of your consciousness. At the same time, the developer of the method claims that the brain works best when the frequency of brain waves decreases, which usually occurs during sleep. It turns out that by learning to independently achieve the same effect while awake, a person can significantly increase the efficiency of his brain activity? All you have to do is check it out for yourself...

Course structure

The clear structure of the course - divided into 10 disks - is convenient for uniform distribution of the information received without significant time investment. At the same time, you can listen to the course on mind control using the Silva method in separate topics, which allows you to put some aside and try out other techniques without losing the thread of presentation. The authors of the method recommend listening to one disc a day, but perhaps it will be more convenient for someone to listen to only a few files a day, which will allow them to practice and understand the information received before listening to other topics.

What is the Silva Mind Control Course about?

At first glance, everything that is discussed in the course based on the Jose Silva method seems so obvious and simple that the listener may wonder: is it worth spending time on? But why then, if we know and understand all this, do we still feel dissatisfied? Why can’t we perceive problems only as experiences and solve them effectively? Maybe we should listen and try to apply the information that seems to us to be a well-known theory?

At the same time, you may encounter information that is unclear or perhaps not necessary for you at the moment. Don't be afraid to admit to yourself that you don't understand it. Save it for later. This is exactly what the authors of the course on mind control using the Silva method advise. When the time comes, you will realize and use the information you have put aside. Moreover, this is quite easy to do thanks to the structure of the course - you can always return to the topic that interests you without a lengthy search.

Traditionally, you need to start by setting goals. But unlike many other techniques, you will have to set them aside by just writing down everything you would like to achieve at different times. The main goal of the course is to develop intuition, imagination, and creative abilities using the Silva method. This occurs due to the fact that when controlling one’s own consciousness, both hemispheres work, thereby expanding the abilities of human thinking. Despite the fact that at first we are talking about well-known things - positive thinking, the power of thoughts, etc., the Jose Silva method explains how the brain works during thinking, using imagination and how to activate this process to increase its effectiveness.

Practical application of the information received

The first practical exercise is meditation, which allows you to slow down the frequency of brain vibrations, thereby allowing you to enter deep levels of consciousness without falling asleep. This meditation is facilitated by the course leader, which makes the task much easier for those who have never meditated. But even if you already have some experience, you should take into account that Jose Silva’s method does not use the common passive type of meditation, but dynamic. The latter does not require much time and at the same time brings a more tangible effect than passive meditation. Five minutes a day is enough to get the desired result, although the authors call meditation three times a day for 15 minutes the optimal option.

To solve a specific problem, the Jose Silva method offers a specific exercise, which will not be difficult to find due to the clear structure of the course. To see if this method works, simply try the headache relief exercise. If you are unlikely to immediately feel the development of intuition and imagination using the Silva method, then you will most likely feel the effect of such an exercise immediately. This will be proof that mind control using the Silva method works.

The undoubted advantage of the course is its practical application, because you can listen and read about the power of thought and positive thinking endlessly, without really implementing the acquired knowledge. Jose Silva's method forces us not only to apply this information, but also to exercise our brain, making its work more intense and efficient. After all, just like muscles that are strengthened through regular physical activity, the brain develops if it is constantly used and exercised.

Discovering the hidden resources of consciousness

Every person wants to be successful and happy, which is sometimes hindered by the elementary problem of choice. The Silva Mind Control course provides a basic example of deciding whether to invest in a proposed project. At such a crucial moment, you can use the three-finger technique, revealed during training, with your eyes open, and receive an answer from your own consciousness - its deeper level, from intuition. In the same way, you can feel what is happening with your family and friends, this is how you can establish contact with children and between spouses. Increasing sensitivity and developing intuition will help in solving many other issues.

But the authors of the methodology insist that you must understand whether you really want your desires to come true - do you really need it, is it important, will it help solve a real problem or is it still far-fetched? This stage is very important, because a momentary desire can have unpredictable consequences. It is especially important to consider the significance of realizing a dream when you are looking for a solution with the help of additional concentration of energy.

The techniques included in the Jose Silva Method can be used individually and gradually develop your personality, using them regularly to develop your abilities cumulatively. This is an added benefit of the Silva Mind Control course, as it is often necessary to go through all the training, awareness, understanding and practice to notice the obvious effects. But this course is unique precisely because of its practicality and versatility, when you can put aside information that is unnecessary at the moment, when you can use those points that are most relevant to you at the moment. Although, of course, sooner or later you will use all the techniques, because you will develop and set yourself more and more new goals and tasks, for the solution of which you will need further revelation of your still hidden abilities.

This is what Anton Privonov says about the Silva Method

What do you think about this?

Jose Silva is a famous parapsychologist from the USA, who is the author of many practical techniques designed to increase human intelligence, as well as develop all kinds of hidden abilities and psychological skills of the individual. He is the creator of the so-called Silva method. The researcher’s psychological practices have more than once been subjected to harsh criticism from traditional medicine and psychology. Nevertheless, the methods of expanding a person’s mental capabilities described in the books of Jose Silva have been demonstrating excellent effectiveness for decades.

During his lifetime, the biography of the famous American explorer of Mexican origin became a real legend. Little Jose was born in 1914 in the small town of Laredo, Texas. Since the boy had Mexican roots, at that time he belonged to the people of the lower class, which significantly complicated his socialization. Moreover, Jose Silva grew up in a poor family. His family were so poor that they could not afford to send their child to school. Therefore, little Jose acquired all his knowledge from his own life experience, which subsequently formed the basis of the methods he created.

However, the struggle for survival was not endless, and at the age of thirty, Silva was already a successful entrepreneur who owned a radio workshop. It was during this period of his life that a young businessman began work on creating a system that was designed to help his children study more effectively at school. It was this desire that became a kind of impetus for Silva to begin actively researching the principles of the human brain. It took the enthusiast twenty-two years to come up with a holistic, effective and ridiculously simple system of psychological self-development. Nowadays she is known all over the world as Jose Silva method.

Its appearance fit very harmoniously into the scientific climate of that time. In the sixties of the 20th century, a new field in psychology began to emerge, which was called the psychology of change. At that time, people observed the rapid pace of development of civilization, along with which people and their perception of the world around them changed. It was then that many began to understand that it is possible to make the world safe and comfortable only if you change yourself in a positive direction.

Perhaps, as one of the results of such trends, the Silva Method, now popular in all corners of the planet, saw the light of day in 1966. He helped many people gain wealth, health, success in a variety of areas, tolerance and allow many other positive changes into their lives. José Silva's famous followers include singer Madonna, British political star Margaret Thatcher and American writer Richard Bach. Moreover, despite previous attacks on the techniques of the Silva method from traditional science, modern medicine actively uses his approaches, complementing standard drug treatment with them. This method is used today in sports, business, creativity and many other areas. Everyone who has personally experienced the effectiveness of these psychological practices becomes direct witnesses of clear improvements in their lives. The Jose Silva method helps a person find harmony with himself, which undoubtedly leads to happiness.

Today, the system developed by a parapsychologist is a powerful tool for self-development that helps manage one’s own thinking. The main advantage of this method is that, with the help of fairly simple exercises, it allows you to combine and fine-tune the effective use of the three main mental components, such as imagination, intuition and emotions. Let's take a closer look at what it is Silva method.

A Brief Introduction to the Silva Method

It is based on self-control of thinking, which is a set of simple and effective exercises that give every person a chance to use their intuition for their own purposes. If you interview a large number of successful people about how they made key decisions in their lives, many of them will say that they were guided by an inner voice. However, most of those who have achieved incredible success will not be able to clearly define this “sixth sense”. They all just knew it would be like this.

Surely, you have also encountered situations in life when you were visited by a muse or a so-called epiphany. For example, everyone has had dreams that later came true or informed about important events. We are all familiar with the concepts of “incredible coincidence” and “amazing coincidences”. And the question immediately arises as to why some people take advantage of the opportunity while others ignore it.

The answer to this is that successful individuals at one time listened to their intuition.

What is intuition according to the Silva method?

Intuition is a persistent belief that arises unconsciously and cannot be explained. This kind of premonition is an innate ability that protects a person from possible dangers. A person can develop or suppress intuition depending on whether he accepts it or ignores it. Everyone at birth receives an instinctive property that allows them to understand certain things based on the inner clarity of beliefs, and not on the basis of facts.

Intuition is inextricably linked with our intelligence. However, not everyone knows how to use this tool correctly. The development of intuition according to the Silva method is a set of exercises that allow you to learn to hear and correctly interpret the information provided by our inner voice.

WHEN INTUITION CAN BE USEFUL

Each of us makes decisions from time to time based on intuition, which may even contradict common sense. At the same time, guided by logical beliefs, we often commit failed actions, and then remember that our inner voice told us the opposite. The most important skill is the ability to recognize intuitive thoughts and accept them in those moments when it is really needed. It's worth remembering that the benefits of intuition is possible only when it is conscious.

In order to start using this mental tool in practice, you need to concentrate on a specific problem, thereby calming the mind and turning off any other thoughts. In this state, a person becomes sensitive to information that until now was unattainable to us. It is she who becomes the source of intuition.

Jose Silva states that a person must be able to access personal inner experience and use it correctly. This skill makes it possible to make optimal decisions.

Targeted development of intuition using the Silva method will allow you to activate this tool in order to use it in any life situations. Let's look at one exercise that will be useful for beginners in the field of communicating with intuition.

EXERCISE “GLASS OF WATER”

This technique, developed by Jose Selva, allows you to activate your intuition to solve any issue.

Before going to bed, you need to pour a glass of water. Closing your eyes, lift them up a little and drink half the contents of the glass, while saying to yourself: “This is all I have to do to get the answer to the question I’m thinking about.” Having pushed the glass aside, you can calmly go to bed. In the morning, drink the rest of the water, closing your eyes and raising them up. At the same time, say the same phrase as before going to bed.

It is preferable to perform this technique before bed, but if you were unable to fall asleep immediately, then do not despair, since the necessary program is already running.

After this procedure, you can wake up and completely recall the dream in which there was a solution to your problem (if you have difficulty remembering dreams, this article will be useful to you - Insight in a dream - sleep as a source of ideas). In addition, in the near future you may encounter an unusual situation that will make you understand which direction you should move. Your main task should be to remain attentive to the little things that can give you a clear answer to your question.

Despite its simplicity, this method is actively used by many advanced psychologists. You can verify its effectiveness from your own experience.

You need to take into account the fact that you can ask your subconscious absolutely any question and receive a valuable answer. That being said, there are some criteria that your question must meet.

Firstly, it needs to be formulated positively. It is worth asking the question specifically and without the “no” part. Secondly, you can only pose one question at a time. By following these rules, you can easily get a decent answer from your subconscious.

Managing your own emotions

In addition to the skills of working with intuition, the Silva method makes it possible to control emotions. You've no doubt heard how often people complain that someone ruined their mood. This suggests that the person does not have the skills to manage his emotions.

Since each of us strives for happiness, we need to clearly understand what mechanisms influence its achievement. Since happiness is an emotional state, proper control of the mind according to the Silva method will enable you to achieve it.

The three-finger technique is one of the most common methods for managing your own emotions. Its essence is that when a situation arises in which you feel angry or resentful, losing control of yourself, you need to bring your thumb, middle and index fingers together and say to yourself “Sorry” or “Calm down.” These Silva method techniques allow you to maintain composure even in very difficult moments when control emotions not easy.

Another method to cope with aggression or anger is the technique of changing states. It lies in the fact that you intercept the moment when your negative emotions can come out, and replace them with positive ones. For example, if a conductor is rude to you in transport, as soon as you realize your hostility, you replace it with complete positivity even before unwanted emotions completely take over you.

Working with your own imagination: basic techniques of the Silva method

The process of continuous and productive learning is inextricably linked with the work of our imagination. Often we talk about something that in our heads we consider unattainable, while not fully understanding that the civilization built by man is a figment of the imagination. Everything that has been created by people at all times initially appeared in their thoughts. All civilization was created primarily by imagination.

For this reason, being able to effectively manage your own imagination is a very useful skill. Many people, following false political slogans and promises of financial “pyramid schemes”, suffered defeats. At the same time, famous scientists actively used their imagination to bring many ideas to life.

You can conduct a little experiment on yourself. Close your eyes and imagine that you have a large yellow lemon in your palm. Try to feel its weight, smell, taste. Each of you has undoubtedly felt the typical sour taste in your mouth. Your expression changed and your mouth watered. Now you are convinced that your body reacts to such a mental image as if it exists in reality.

Our subconscious responds to such stimuli in a similar way. It is designed in such a way that it perceives any image in the head as an existing reality.

Few people know that most of what causes us fear is only a product of the imagination. If we are afraid of something, many of our possibilities are blocked. For this reason, proper control of your imagination is extremely important.

Let's look at the basic exercises of the Silva method that will help you develop skills in working with your imagination.

ENTERING THE ALPHA STATE

Jose Silva has studied in detail the connection between both hemispheres of the human brain. In the process of studying, he came to the conclusion that most people use primarily the left hemisphere. It is responsible for the logical component of thinking. In turn, the right hemisphere is more associated with creativity, intuition and imagination. In order to reach the peak of your potential, you need to learn to use both hemispheres, as successful people do. They do it easily because they think at the level of alpha waves.

Alpha represents the level at which brain waves function at half their frequency when fully awake. The waking brain is capable of producing 14-21 energy pulsations per second. This state is called the beta level and is intended for active activity. The alpha level is considered ideal for thinking. Unfortunately, an ordinary person, when his brain reaches this state, falls into sleep. The moment you fall asleep, your brain enters alpha and then theta and delta levels. During sleep, these states change in the form of ebb and flow. Such cycles last approximately ninety minutes.

In the morning, when you wake up, you go through the alpha level, gradually returning to the waking state, which corresponds to beta frequencies. Obviously you have a certain amount of time to program.

To enter the alpha state, you need to go to the bath after waking up and return to bed. Then you need to set the alarm clock so that it rings in fifteen minutes. Close your eyes and lift them up 20 degrees towards your eyebrows. Practice shows that this procedure facilitates the transition to the alpha state. Start counting slowly from one hundred to one. When you reach the end, imagine that you have achieved success. Try to remember a moment when you were at the peak of success. Feel all the details of that moment, down to the smells and tastes. Tell yourself that you are getting better every day. Then tell yourself that when you count from one to five, you will feel great when you open your eyes.

Now let us explain a little the sequence of actions during this procedure. A bath is necessary for relaxation, since the brain cannot fully relax if the body is tense. By raising your eyes 20 degrees, you activate the right hemisphere and your brain begins to produce more alpha rhythms. Plus, counting down relaxes your brain, while counting forward activates it.

The mental image in your head is that of success. It creates exactly what you want to achieve. At the same time, in a relaxed state, images and words program your brain. A direct count from 1 to 5 gives him the command to become active.

If you want to consciously operate at the alpha level when you need it, take advantage of the forty-day program to develop this ability. The first ten days count from 100 to one, from the 11th to 20th day - from 50 to 1, from the 21st to 30th day - from 25 to 1, and the last ten days - from 10 to 1.

Be patient and don't try to move faster than intended. This is how you can fully master this skill.

ENTERING A STATE OF RELAXATION

Relaxation is the complete relaxation of your body. Without it, it is almost impossible to enter the alpha state. For modern man, muscle tension and nervous system excitation are his normal constant state. For this reason, it is not always easy to get rid of these “shackles.” At the same time, if tension is not relieved from time to time, it can develop into constant stress. Therefore, you need to practice one of the following techniques every day in the evenings to help achieve a state of relaxation.

1. Sit or lie down in a position that is comfortable for you and close your eyes. Start clenching your fists, reaching maximum tension. Then stop trying and enjoy the state of relaxation. Remember this feeling. After this, repeat the same procedure with your feet, legs, shoulders, neck, thighs and face. Then tense your whole body and relax. Do the same procedure several times.
2. Lie down in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Try to breathe deeply, slowly and smoothly. Imagine that with each new breath a wave passes through your entire body, carrying away tension through your feet. After exhaling completely, hold your breath for a few moments and assess where there is still tension in your body. Repeat this procedure several times until complete relaxation is achieved.
3. Lying on your back, close your eyes and begin to breathe evenly, smoothly and deeply. Imagine that your body is an air mattress. Mentally remove the plug from it and feel how the air begins to leave it. Try to imagine that your body is getting heavier, becoming denser and eventually turning into a rag. This procedure takes no more than three minutes.

Silva method exercises, aimed at relaxation, help to reach the alpha level, and also relieve stress and fatigue. So if you want engage in self-development according to the Silva method, you should master these practices.

VISUALIZATION BASICS

This exercise is presented in the book by Jose Silva. It helps you reach a new level of visualization and create vivid images.

On the first day of practice, you need to reach the alpha level and imagine a green watermelon in your head. Then watch someone cut it in half and it splits into two pieces. Then imagine putting the halves together and making them disappear.

After you return to normal, describe all the details of the picture you saw: the color of the pulp, the maturity of the fruit itself, the size of the seeds. You will be convinced that your imagination drew these details on its own, since the original task did not say about the need to pay attention to them.

On the second day, return to the alpha level and begin to visualize your reflection in the mirror. Mentally try to look at the smallest details of your appearance. If you don't succeed the first time, return to normal and look in the mirror.

On the third day, having reached the alpha level, imagine in your head the face of one of your loved ones. If you doubt your memory, first consider the person before starting the exercise.

On the fourth day, begin to visualize a quiet place in nature where you enjoyed being, after entering the alpha state. Imagine yourself in this place, as if you were actually transported there. Try to remember the feeling you had there. If you feel relaxed, you can be transported there in the future in your mind to reach the alpha level or to achieve relaxation.

On the fifth day, look at your home and try to imagine it, having previously reached the alpha level. Visualize it as accurately as possible, taking into account the texture of the walls and other details.

Over the next few days, make the task more difficult. Try to imagine the aroma and taste of watermelon, then begin to visualize lemon, orange and other fruits and vegetables. This exercise will allow you to better understand the features of visualization and, perhaps, bring positive changes to your life.

WE CONNECT ALL SENSES ORGANS TO WORK

For visualization to be effective and help you change your reality, the images you imagine need to be as realistic as possible. There is no doubt that we perceive everything that surrounds us with the help of our senses. We hear sounds, perceive smells, feel touches. When you begin to saturate your mental images with these qualities, you will make the visualization process much more productive.

As a workout, imagine one of the above images, working out every detail as much as possible. For example, mentally take a yellow lemon in your hand, feel its citrus aroma, appreciate its sour taste.

When creating any images, try to connect the maximum number of sensory organs. If you practice daily, you will soon be able to create very vivid pictures in your head quite quickly.

MEDITATION USING THE SILVA METHOD AS A WAY TO ACHIEVE ALPHA STATE

One of the simplest methods of entering the alpha state is meditation according to the Silva method. The famous parapsychologist developed his own technique - “Entering the Level”. This procedure is the first step towards mastering the Silva method.

To do this, you need to sit down so that your back remains straight. Then you need to close your eyes and start breathing slowly and deeply. After this, slowly say “three, three, three” and try to imagine this number as clearly as possible. Then repeat the process with number 2 and 1. Try to keep the numbers in different colors. Make several slow and deep entries and exits, each time feeling your body relax more and more. Then begin counting from ten to one, feeling more and more relaxed with each new number.

At the alpha level, work occurs with the so-called internal screen. If you do not have enough skills for high-quality visualization, try returning to the previous exercises described above. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable, leave the alpha state. This is quite easy to do. You need to tell yourself that on the count of three you will come out of this state and feel much better. In some cases, Silva suggests counting to five, while saying to himself the following phrase: “By counting to five, I will slowly come out of the alpha state and will feel fully conscious and much better than before.”

Thus, meditation according to the Silva method is a fairly simple but very useful procedure.

A big and warm hello to everyone! Do you know who Jose Silva is? If not, then you urgently need to take a closer look at his ingenious method. Jose Silva is a famous American parapsychologist who studies human intelligence, is interested in human abilities and the essence of personality. It was he who became one of the most successful people who spoke out that every person has a chance to change their life for the better, direct their thoughts and materialize them. Silva came to the conclusion that if it were not for the human brain, it is unlikely that people would have been so successful. That is why Jose Silva relates his method to self-development and to the fact that absolutely every person should read and understand what he has written.

What is the secret of the method?

To explain it, it is necessary to understand where it all began. From a very early age, José Silva was interested in psychology. Since this serious subject was not yet included in the school curriculum, the boy had to visit the library and borrow stacks of books in order to read them at home and expand his self-knowledge.

Paying attention to her brother and sister, Silva became an independent child who immersed herself in psychology. As time passed, Jose became the father of wonderful children. To teach his children to learn material at school as quickly as possible and absorb everything like a sponge, he helped the children develop their intellect, every day, for a few minutes. Thus, the parapsychologist created his own control system, which relates to thinking and emotions.

The main essence of the method is that the power and strength of thought is the most important operating mechanism. Since the human brain is capable of generating electricity, the parapsychologist claims that the mind works better and more efficiently. If we reduce the hyper-reactivity of the mind, using only the electricity generated, then the truth and control of our own consciousness will be available to a person. So, Jose began using hypnosis on his children. The man came to the conclusion that in a hypnotic state, babies absorb any information much faster.

During hypnosis, mental tension decreases. True, a person is not conscious to think and understand. By the way, one very interesting fact: while training his own daughter, Silva realized that she answered his questions much faster than he asked them. It turns out that in a state of hypnosis, the girl began to read her father’s thoughts. Based on this, José Silva came to the conclusion that if we lower the frequencies of the brain, then our consciousness may well be preserved, and the information we perceive will remain unchanged, not even touched by the physical senses.

Imagination and subconscious in the José Silva method

Have you ever thought about how often we limit ourselves even over the smallest things? In most cases, we believe that this limitation is due to impossibility of implementation. We are used to relying on logic all the time, but some things have absolutely no explanation. We increasingly ignore our own premonitions, our favorite intuition, and close access to our colorful imagination. Let's do a little test and see for yourself.

1. Close your eyes, relax and imagine an ordinary yellow ripe lemon in front of you. Think about how it smells, what this fruit feels and tastes like. In 95% of cases, after the word “lemon”, the human mouth fills with unpleasant saliva, as if you had just eaten it. All these are games of our subconscious. You see, absolutely any image for our consciousness is reality. When we imagine something (and it doesn’t matter what exactly it will be), the subconscious mind agrees with us in everything and creates realistic pictures.
2. Here is another interesting test to ensure that a person can listen to his intuition. As you get ready for bed, pour yourself a glass of water. Then, think about the question that interests you most, but formulate it in such a way that there is no “not” in it. Now, closing your eyes, try to drink half from the glass, repeating to yourself each time: “if there is no half, then this is the answer to the question.” After this strange exercise has been done, go to bed, and in the morning do the same as you did before going to bed, finishing the glass to the end. So, this is all to say that in a dream you will definitely receive an answer to the question asked.

About the alpha state and meditation in the Silva method

If you purchase a book by this brilliant parapsychologist, you will immediately understand what we are talking about. Let's just say a few words about this. The human brain, being in different states, is fed and perceives energy at completely different levels. For example, the pulse that is emitted during an active and alert state is usually called the beta level.

You're probably already familiar with the alpha level. This state is very often created when a person reads a prayer to God, when we are simply thinking, half asleep or meditating. By the way, the alpha level is the most ideal mark for thinking and awareness. Without training your own brain and without delving into the Jose Silva method, a person is at the alpha level twice a day: when he begins to fall asleep, but is still half asleep, and when he wakes up, but not completely. It is the alpha level that helps us control our own consciousness and do what we want most. Before this, it is important to act according to the following plan:

• try to completely relax, for this you can take a warm bath, 15 minutes is enough for the body to fall into a state of rest;
• close your eyes, lift them up a little, as if you want to reach your eyebrows, this will give the right hemisphere a sign that it should be ready;
• now, count to yourself very slowly, preferably counting backwards - this way you will relax yourself as much as possible, and most importantly, give your own brain a temporary rest;
• while you are counting, imagine a picture that you are in complete success, there are no problems behind you, no obstacles, all roads are open, and the people around you are happy, give free rein to your imagination - if you can still smell it, then it will be amazing;
• now say to yourself how good you feel, start a dialogue with yourself that every day you love this life even more, count from one to five and slowly open your eyes.

This is a kind of energy that is not only capable of calming a person’s body and his subconscious, but also makes the human soul the epicenter for attracting good luck. If you do this exercise for 40 days without skipping, you will definitely learn to enter the alpha state, wherever you are. At the same time, it is very important not to fall asleep, but to control your own consciousness. Such meditation greatly influences your future life, and only in the best way. Throughout the entire exercise, the power of thought is maximally developed, which, by the way, belongs to the Jose Silva method.

In order for you to have at least some support, turn on a special audio file that will help you tune in, exhale all the negative energy and start meditating. Today, absolutely any audio recording can be found on the Internet, which has made human life much easier. Don’t interrupt your own breathing and try to breathe slowly, measuredly, deeply. Think of meditation as playing with colors and sizes: for example, if you imagine numbers, then try to imagine in your head what color, size, shape they are, whether they have wings and much more. Your body should be motionless, but at the same time obey you and your inner voice.

Understand that creating clear images is one of the important components of the alpha state. To practice, first try visualizing the most ordinary objects; closing your eyes, see even the smallest details in them. For example, if you imagine a table, then look at it from all sides, right down to the nails. Then, complicate your task by adding smell, taste, color and tactile sensations to your clear image. Don't worry if it's very difficult to follow Jose Silva's method the first time. Many people can’t even close their eyes and sit quietly in silence, let alone count down numbers and clear images. The most important thing in meditation is regular exercise. And if you adhere to the parapsychologist’s method, then life will become what you could only dream of. Changes will not be long in coming.

The power of thought in the Jose Silva method

Agree that it would be very cool if every person could maneuver it and change their life with the help of the power of thought. It would be so cool that absolutely everyone on this planet would be happy. But, unfortunately, this truth is not characteristic of man. Therefore, only the Jose Silva method can help develop this skill. In training the power of thought, the same thing happens as during meditation. In order to become more familiar with this truth, you need to read the book of the parapsychologist himself in order to fully understand the essence and idea.

Exercise "relaxation"

Perhaps this is one of the most favorite exercises for every person, since here the body does not work at all, it rests. Relaxation is the complete relaxation of every cell of your body. During this state, you should not feel nervous or excited. On the contrary, you should feel as calm as if you were flying somewhere and not stopping. Unfortunately, we live in a world full of stress and worry. Therefore, in order for your own body to rest and be able to fall into the alpha state, it is very important to devote a few minutes every day to relaxation.

1. Lie down on a soft sofa in the position that is most comfortable for you. Close your eyes and clench your fists until you feel a lot of tension in your arms. Now, don't put any effort, let go of your hands and start enjoying the pleasant tension. Repeat the same with your feet, strongly pulling the toe against you, with your neck, straining it as if you were about to straighten up, with your hips, squeezing and unclenching them. After the whole body is tense, relax it as much as possible without making any effort.
2. Take deep, slow breaths, try to exhale very smoothly. Imagine that a new breath is a huge wave of energy that, like a current, pierces your body and carries away all tension and all negativity through your feet. After you exhale completely, inhale a little and hold your breath. A state of relaxation will be felt only if no tension is felt in the body during such breathing exercises.
3. In the same position, lying on your back, without opening your eyes, take deep breaths. Imagine as if you do not have a body, but a huge mattress inflated with clean air. Use your imagination and imagine taking a cork out of it. Once it is removed, the mattress begins to deflate, which means it should feel like a mattress with air slowly escaping. It sounds quite strange, but this is the method of relaxation that will help the body completely free itself from negative energy. You will be surprised that literally 3 minutes will be enough for you to do such an exercise.

Exercise “work of the senses”

Try combining visualization and liberation of consciousness. At first glance, this will seem very difficult, since not every person succeeds. Let's not come up with new examples and take an exercise with the same lemon. Close your eyes, relax and imagine that you are holding a yellow fruit in your hands. Let your imagination imagine what a lemon feels like, what its smell is, whether it is ripe or not, sour or tasteless. The faster you begin to create images in your imagination, the more effectively you will begin to connect all your senses, even in a state of complete relaxation of the body. With each training session, pictures are created faster and faster, and this is the most important thing in the Jose Silva method.

4 rules of happiness, according to a parapsychologist

1. Getting pleasure and enjoyment from what you really like. How often are you satisfied with what is happening around you? Are you experiencing pleasure? You never need to wait for anything, it is important to always act, try, create, and even if something doesn’t work out, don’t give up. Jose Silva is sure that the main secret of happiness is that every person takes from this life everything that is most unique and unforgettable. Only by paying attention to the joys of life do we feel a sweet aftertaste that we want to savor forever.
2. Get away from yourself what you don’t like. Very often, out of habit, we do things that we could not do at all. For example, we eat something we don’t like or communicate with people we don’t like. Jose Silva believes that there is nothing worse than acting against your pleasure. This, of course, is each person’s personal decision on how to behave, but if you waste your own “I” on something that you don’t like, then it is likely that you will never feel happiness in life.
3. Change what cannot be avoided. There are many situations in life that we don't like. It would be great if a person could turn everything in his favor with a snap of his fingers. By the way, the Jose Silva Method implies this. True, here it is important to change everything that seems irreversible. The concept of this theory is quite difficult, but if you start working and take active action, then everything will definitely work out.
4. Accept what cannot be changed. Sometimes circumstances are much stronger than us. We cannot change a person’s fate if certain moments have happened in his life. And in general, there is a lot that a person cannot do. This is called “accepting everything as it is.” Treat everything more simply and calmly. Only in this case will Jose Silva's method work.

According to the parapsychologist himself, it is very easy to be happy. His book is brilliant. In almost every bookstore you can find an interesting cover with a given author and have no doubt that the content will be interesting. The Jose Silva method teaches that a person should not pay attention to negative energy and can not only read the thoughts of other people, answering their questions forward, but also have maximum control over his body and consciousness, be able to fall into the alpha state and cleanse his body through relaxation.

Hello, dear readers! Did you know that a person is able to control and manage his mind, revealing opportunities that he might not have previously imagined? If not, then I want to bring to your attention the Silva method, which helps to improve your life and achieve harmony, success, recognition and, most importantly, become healthy.

History of origin

This method received its name for a reason, but thanks to the name and surname of its creator, Jose Silva. Born into such a poor family that he did not have the opportunity to receive at least a basic education. Therefore, in the future, in relation to his own children, he tried to do the maximum, just to send them to a good school, and at the same time facilitate the learning process.

He asked himself this question when he was about 30 years old, when he was already an accomplished man and had his own business in the field of repairing radios. Being well versed in technology and electronics, he knew that maximum results could be achieved with minimal resistance. And when I started studying psychology and hypnosis, I realized that the human brain is able to generate electricity, sending certain waves into the Universe.

Deciding to check whether it is possible to reduce the resistance of the brain in order to achieve completely different results of his activity, Jose discovered a completely paradoxical thing - the less mentally active he is, the more productive his activity is. Subsequently, it became clear that during hypnosis it is impossible to teach a person to think creatively, since at this moment he is unable to reason and evaluate current events, so experiments were used using various meditative techniques.

They made it possible to suspend brain activity, calm the mind, and, importantly, improve cognitive processes. About three years of research were not in vain, his children’s grades at school significantly improved, and the newly minted scientist himself made another discovery - a person is able to independently regulate alpha and theta frequencies. But all these achievements were nothing compared to the ability to read minds.

Mind Reading

Yes, there is no typo here, around 1953 Silva accidentally discovered that his developed practices helped his daughter develop extrasensory perception of reality. Usually in the evenings, when the girl was in a meditative state, he asked her various questions, thus checking the lessons she had done. And while the little girl was talking about what she remembered from the material she had covered, he was thinking about what to ask next.

But one evening changed a lot. Out of habit, mentally forming a question, but not yet asking it out loud, the researcher heard the daughter begin to answer it, and this was repeated until Jose was convinced that the girl really read thoughts. Having decided to check whether she had learned this thanks to special techniques, or simply had an innate extrasensory gift, the researcher repeated his experiments with other children who were trusted by neighbors and acquaintances.

And indeed, each of them, over time, could read minds and foresee the future, which proved the direct influence of the scientist on the abilities. This added to his desire to move on, modernizing and adapting each exercise to the human brain, for which he spent approximately 22 years of his life to ultimately provide us with the effective and perfect Silva method.

Results and spheres of influence

• If you constantly use Jose's techniques, your IQ level will increase significantly. You can even conduct your own experiment by taking an intelligence test before starting the practice, and after about six months.
• Memory will improve, and, consequently, your efficiency and productivity, both at work and in school.
• Self-confidence will appear, and you will “look” at the world more optimistically and joyfully.
• With a positive attitude and energy, you will be able to quickly find creative solutions to various problems. Inspiration will become your constant companion, and this threatens to create something new and beautiful.
• There will be an opportunity to get rid of chronic diseases and gain health.
• You will achieve success due to the fact that you will intuitively understand which direction to move, and where it is better not to meddle.

Exercises

1. Intuition

This is knowledge that arises unconsciously and is not subject to investigation of its nature of origin. They are also called premonition, which helps to avoid danger and any troubles. Oddly enough, the level of intuition depends on the level of intelligence. The more developed and aware a person is, the more likely he is to rely on his inner voice.

Those people who cannot boast of this skill can, with the help of Jose’s techniques, learn to receive information from the depths of the subconscious. Let me give you an example of an exercise for developing intuition called “A Glass of Water.”

Think about what worries you, for example, you don’t know what to do in some situation, or you want to know what the outcome of certain actions will be. And, before going to bed, fill a full container of water, close your eyes, lift it up, and mentally say: “This is all I have to do in order to get an answer to my question.” After that, drink about half of it, and, without talking to anyone or doing anything else, try to fall asleep.

In the morning, silently, finish the rest of the drink, saying the same phrase to yourself. Over time, you will be able to get answers to your questions in a dream, learn to anticipate dangerous moments and likely opportunities. By the way, morning water will be considered “charged”, so you can use this method to improve the health of the body, changing only the wording.

You can read more about intuition.

2. Self-control

It is important to be able to control yourself, otherwise you can destroy both relationships with loved ones and partners, and your health. After all, even the slightest stress affects him. By learning the “Three Fingers” technique, you will become a more stable and resilient person.

If you feel the slightest discomfort, you just need to connect the pads of your thumb, index and middle fingers together, as in prayer, when you cross yourself, concentrate your attention on them and say: “Calm down,” “Everything is fine,” and the like.

3. Imagination

Our subconscious is designed in such a way that it perceives any picture created by the imagination as real. Accordingly, our body reacts according to the mental images that have arisen, which have not been criticized by consciousness. You can experiment right now by imagining a lemon. Did you feel your mouth filling with saliva?

And if it works, then why not use similar exercises to your advantage?

Basic ways to use imagination

Visualization

It consists of imagining what you want, thus tuning the subconscious to a positive result. Collage is very effective and popular; it does not require a lot of time and effort. You just need to think carefully about what you want, then select pictures that symbolize your dreams and stick them on a sheet of paper, and then hang them in a visible place. That's it, the process of transforming images into reality has begun.

You can learn more about how to properly make a vision board from.

Alpha visualization

Relaxation

Without it, it is impossible to achieve alpha visualization, relax, tune in to the necessary wave and calm down if something happens. You yourself know how stress can unsettle you, sometimes leading to depression and various diseases that arise against the background of a weakened nervous system. So practice relaxing completely by closing your eyes and imagining how the tension leaves you, gradually, from every point of your body.

For example, you can do the “Mattress” exercise. Remove all sources of noise in advance and make sure that no one will disturb you, lie down comfortably on your back and close your eyes. Imagine that you are an air mattress and try to feel the elasticity and heaviness of your body. Then mentally remove the plug to bleed the air. And watch carefully how you gradually turn into a rag, relaxing to the maximum. Stay in this state for a couple of minutes and open your eyes.

Breathing plays an important role in relaxation, so choose the most optimal method in the article.

Meditation

Allows you to pause and look deep into yourself, slow down the body's processes and find answers to troubling questions, relax and even recover. Yes, many things become real with the help of meditation, which is why it has been so popular since ancient times. If you have never attended a yoga class and do not know how to achieve a meditative state, then it’s okay, study this one.

If you want to learn more about this method, I recommend you read the book « Silva method. Mind Control» .

Conclusion

And that’s all for today, dear readers! I wish you inspiration and patience, and for motivation I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Silva method is used in their lives by Madonna and Richard Bach, Jacques Chirac, Louise Hay... Even Margaret Thatcher did not remain indifferent at one time. So good luck and success to you!
