The books we publish are our contribution to an emerging world based on cooperation rather than on competition, on affirmation of the human spirit rather than on self-doubt, and on the certainty that all humanity is connected. Our goal is to touch as many lives as possible with a message of hope for a better world.

Hal and Linda Kramer, Publishers

You need not live a life of sickness.

You need not die from ill health.

It is your natural state to be healthy.

It is your right to live a perfectly healthy life right up to the day you die of natural causes.

In this exciting breakthrough book, Jos Silva reveals what he has learned from his pathfinding research, begun in 1944, into the psychosomatic causes and cures of illness.

You will read many case histories here of people who had suffered for years but were able to heal themselves in a very short time when they learned to apply the tremendous power of their minds.

You will learn about actual experiences with first-aid procedures that have quickly corrected injuries sustained in accidents.

Most importantly, you will learn how to prevent disease, and even accidents, from entering your life, so that you can live a healthy, safe, happy existence and help your loved ones do the same.

Is all this really possible?

Since 1966, millions of people in seventy-two countries have learned and applied the unique Silva Method of Mind Development and Stress Control to their lives, and over and over they say, Thank you for showing me how to improve my life.

This book will change your life when you read it and follow its easy step-by-step instructions. Your miraculous results will quickly convince you of the programs effectiveness, and you will wonder why everyone is not using it.

That day will come!

Today is the day for you to begin to use these techniques so you and your loved ones can live happily and healthily every minute for the rest of your lives.

Jos Silva is a self-educated lay research scientist whose explorations into the healing arts have never been limited by the conventional practices of scientific research. His probing into the curiosities of our world led him to discover truths that are finally, today, being confirmed by conventional laboratory research. This book represents the findings of his research in the field of healing and the maintenance of superior health.

Robert B. Stone, Ph.D., is the author and coauthor of more than seventy self-help books. He is a Silva Method lecturer, has circled the globe twice speaking on the powers of the mind, and has launched Silva Mind Control in Japan, New Zealand, and Thailand. He is a member of the New York Academy of Science and MENSA.

Session 26: Stopping Unwanted Habits

A man sits in a comfortable chair, closes his eyes, and takes three deep breaths. The observer does not know that on the first exhalation the man has pictured the number three three times; on the second exhalation, the number two three times; and on the third exhalation, the number one three times. Nor does the observer know that this man has also counted backward from ten to one and has then visualized a profoundly curative scene.

An observer who could peek inside this mans mind would see that the man is picturing himself rubbing an imaginary salve on his right arm in the area of the elbow, where he has been experiencing pain. He is picturing his arm perfect. In a few seconds the man will have ended his mental work and opened his eyes. In a few hours he will be on the tennis court in an energetic singles game with no back talk from the elbow.

This man is a Silva Method graduate. He has been trained to enter a level of consciousness where he can control his mind to affect his body.

N.L. had arthritis in his finger joints, which was interfering with his job as an architectural draftsman. Periodically, he relaxed and visualized the lumps on his fingers. He then pictured himself vacuuming his fingers. He pictured the arthritis as a powder being sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. Then he imagined his fingers free of lumps and saw himself working again at his job painlessly.

N.L. did this each day, spending three minutes visualizing the problem being corrected and himself in perfect health.

Within a week, his daily three-minute investment began to pay off: the swelling and lumps on his fingers were materially reduced. Within three weeks he was free of the arthritis problem.

R.S. had chest pains. His doctor diagnosed them as angina pectoris. He explained that this was the result of hardening of the arteries. A crust called plaque was forming in his arteries, and those that fed blood to his heart were partially blocked. The doctor recommended a low-cholesterol, low-fat, high-fiber diet and a program of mild exercise, such as walking and swimming. R.S. followed the instructions for diet and exercise but added one more step: programming. He relaxed and visualized the partially blocked arteries to his heart. He then imagined that he was rooting them out with a pipe cleaner. His final mental picture was one of these arteries free of plaque. He did these visualizations daily, and within one month the chest pains had become noticeably less frequent. Within two months the chest pains had disappeared completely and years later had still not returned.

For much of her adult life, M.W. had regularly experienced severe menstrual distress. She began a program of talking to her body and picturing herself without menstrual pain for two minutes a day beginning one week prior to the expected start of her period. When her period arrived following these sessions, she estimated that her usual pain was reduced by 50 percent. Through practice, she has reduced it even further.
