Have you ever wondered why 95% of the people don’t do what they like the most every day? The answer is pretty easy. They just programmed their mind not to do so.
There are many techniques out there that you can learn how to control and guide your mind from, and the most complete one is called Silva Mind Control.
The Silva Mind Control Method was created by Jose Silva in the 1950s. It’s a method of putting yourself into a relaxed frame of mind, and then using that relaxation for useful purposes like improving your self-image, finding solutions to problems, increasing your ability to accomplish goals, improving your relationships with others, and getting better grades at school.
Overall speaking, Silva Mind Control Method is a way to use a relaxed state of your mind and body, to accomplish things.
Here are seven of the key techniques:
1. The Workshop of the Mind. This is one of my favorite. You create a workshop or laboratory in your imagination, complete with any tool you can imagine (literally), and it includes a giant screen on which to visualize things. Your workshop also comes equipped with a resident wise counselor of your choosing, for any advice you may need.
Once you create this workshop in your mind’s eye, you can use it for the rest of your life.
2. Dream programming. Dreams can be a good source of ideas and solutions to problems. The “Glass of Water technique” and “dream programming” are the two Silva techniques that can help you utilize this relatively ignored fountain of creativity and problem solving.
These techniques of the Silva Method entail going to your level and giving yourself the suggestion that either you’ll have a dream that will give you an idea to solve a specific problem, or when you awaken in the morning and finish drinking a glass of water, an idea will pop into your head.
Many creative people get breakthrough ideas in their dreams.
Before going to sleep Edison would go over in his mind those things which he hoped to accomplish the next day. Sometimes he would make a list of the jobs he wanted to do, and problems he hoped to solve.
Dreams can be a powerful source of creativity. Jose Silva simply created two formalized methods to tap their potential.
3. Mirror of the mind. On your mental screen (in your mental workshop) visualize a specific problem you’re having or a situation you need to deal with, and visualize it in a mirror — see the image like a reflection of a blue framed mirror directly in front of you.
Then change the frame of your mirror into white, and visualize your problem resolved. From that point on, whenever you think about your problem, only think of the “solution image” framed in white.
4. Three fingers technique. With this technique, you’ll be able to quickly reach the alpha level by putting the thumb, index finger and middle finger of one hand together.
The three fingers technique is useful for calming yourself when you feel stressed or upset, getting into in a good frame of mind to remember something, or helping you concentrate your attention when you need to focus.
5. Envisioning goals. Imagine what it will be like when a specific goal is achieved. Envision it in detail. You can do it with something small, like a meeting you have tomorrow with your boss (imagining it turning out the way you want), you can imagine a big goal five years in the future etc. Envisioning goals is a central principle of the Silva Method.
6. Simple suggestion. You can use the Simple Suggestion technique from Silva Mind Control Method to give yourself “post-hypnotic suggestions.” This helps you program new behaviors and new thought-habits.
Do not underestimate the power of simple suggestion — especially when your mind is relaxed (and therefore less critical and rejecting).
7. Cancel cancel. One of the post-hypnotic suggestions you can give yourself is that when you hear a negative comment or a pessimistic point of view, you say “cancel cancel” to yourself, and when you do, the negativity will have no influence over you. It’s kind of like a mental cloak of protection.
The Silva Mind Control Method is simple and basic. There is nothing fancy about it. But it works and it’s helping million of people.
As if that weren’t enough, the Silva Method is a form of meditation, and has all the positive health benefits associated with other forms of meditation.
The Silva Method is simple and practical.
