What is Silva?

The Silva method, named for its creator José Silva, is a self -helping program based on the use of the body's mind to minimize stress, improve health and use the mind to full potential. The key elements of the program, developed and developed by Silva at the age of 40, are the use of positive thinking, visualization meditation and self -education. The Silva method is now a global business company. Critics of the program point out that the claims that the program brings concerning its benefits are not supported by any scientific evidence. Some say it is not science at all, but rather as a religion.

When he first began to explore his program, Silva studied the use of hypnosis on intelligence. He experimented with his children to see if hypnosis could improve IQ. During these tests, he reportedly found that one of his daughters was clear. Silva could also be influenced by the work of Roger Wolcott Sperry, a neuropsychologist who shared the Nobel F or Medicine Prize with two other men for JEho benefit to brain research. Silva eventually concluded that one had access to information in the subconscious, usually accessible only by dreams or hypnosis, while in awakening and conscious state.

Further speculation that came into the Silva method included that only about 10% of the population, mostly geniuses, think of both hemispheres of the brain. The ability to think at this level is your own and can be achieved by training to work in a higher state. Once this higher consciousness is achieved, other true brain thinking will touch the mind with its own intuition and strong creative forces. This increased consciousness, which Silva has sometimes referred to as Christ's consciousness, allows one to achieve everything he wants.

acquiring the consciousness of Christ could lead to new power such as clairvoyance, the power of healing the body and finding God. Also allows a person to engage in remote monitoring in which a person psShe projected and emotionally projected to see the events in another place. Once the mind is projected, one can connect with higher intelligence, which may mean God for life problems.

W There are also alpha breaks for rejuvenation. Part of the course of the course includes training of the mind to achieve an alpha state in which brain waves remain in a certain frequency range. This condition cleans the mind and allows the body to relax.

Silva critics charge that its theories and demands are not supported by scientific methods or evidence. Any verification of the program comes from the statement of participants or instructors in the program. Other notes that his claims about how the mind works are outdated or simply wrong. Some also think that because of its ideas about the consciousness of Christ, the method is more religion than science. However, the program participants reported improvement in life, such as lower stress, better self -confidence and overcoming destructive habits such as cigarette addiction.
