Can you use psychic healing to help others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>The Silva Mind Control Method<\/em>, Jos\u00e9 Silva says you can use a psychic healing method to help others by remotely diagnosing and psychically healing illnesses. Silva reports that his most experienced students can reliably and accurately diagnose medical conditions given only basic information about a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to get a better idea of how psychic healing works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-the-alpha-state-to-help-others\"><strong>Use the Alpha State to Help Others<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Silva recognizes that psychic healing sounds impossible, but he argues that <em>everyone <\/em>has the psychic abilities that make these feats possible\u2014you simply have to be trained to access them. (Shortform note: Not everyone agrees that everyone has psychic abilities. One prominent parapsychology researcher argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/news\/are-esp-and-psychokinesis-really-possible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">psychic abilities are normally distributed<\/a>, meaning most people have a moderate ability, while some people have extreme ability or none whatsoever.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following sections, we\u2019ll explore Silva\u2019s advice for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-achieve\/\">how to achieve<\/a> these seemingly impossible results.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prepare-to-psychically-heal-others\"><strong>Prepare to Psychically Heal Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To sharpen your psychic skills to the point that you can remotely diagnose and heal others, you first need to train your visualization abilities even further. To do so, you\u2019ll need to practice picturing more and more foreign scenes on your mental screen, beginning with a wall in your own home and eventually progressing to the inside of the body of a person you\u2019ve never met. With each scene that you project on your mental screen, visualize as much detail as possible and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/trust-your-intuition-trust-your-instincts-trust-your-gut\/\">trust your intuition<\/a>. Silva notes that <strong>you may feel like you\u2019re simply imagining things, but don\u2019t let that dissuade you from fleshing out the details<\/strong>. What feels like imagination may actually be you projecting your consciousness into the scene on your mental screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you master visualizing increasingly unfamiliar scenes and environments, you\u2019ll need to prepare the mental space where you\u2019ll work on diagnosing and healing people: Silva calls this your \u201claboratory.\u201d While in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-enter-alpha-state\/\">Alpha state<\/a>, picture a room where you\u2019ll do your psychic work (the room can look however you want it to look). The room should include your usual mental screen and a space for you to do your work, like a desk. Additionally, you should imagine a set of custom tools that will help you symbolically heal the illnesses you diagnose in others: for example, you might imagine a fan that you\u2019ll mentally use to cool the hot, irritated skin of someone with a rash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll staff your laboratory with the mental image of two assistants\u2014one male, one female. These assistants may be historical or famous figures, or they might be ordinary people. Note that you shouldn\u2019t try to consciously choose these assistants\u2014simply prepare your laboratory and welcome whichever figures show up to help you. You\u2019ll continue consulting these assistants every time you do remote healing work in your laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remotely-diagnosing-others\"><strong>Remotely Diagnosing Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your psychic laboratory is prepared, you\u2019re ready to practice remotely diagnosing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-heal-others\/\">healing others<\/a> in the Alpha state. To diagnose someone, you\u2019ll need to know their name, age, gender, and where they\u2019re located<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silva warns that it\u2019s important, at this stage, to only practice diagnosing people who are physically removed from you and who you don\u2019t know (you can ask friends to supply information about people they know who are sick or injured). Unless you are that person\u2019s doctor, you are not legally qualified to diagnose them with a medical condition. In fact, if you discover a medical problem while mentally scanning someone you know personally, Silva says you shouldn\u2019t tell the person at all\u2014simply do your best to heal them in your psychic laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know who you\u2019ll be diagnosing, conjure up an image of them on your mental screen (since you don\u2019t know what they look like in real life, this is where your advanced visualization skills come in). Begin scanning the image of their body on your screen, asking your assistants for help as necessary\u2014for example, one of your assistants might point to a particular body part on the person you\u2019re scanning. As you scan the person, Silva recommends you continuously describe, out loud, what you\u2019re observing. Keeping up a monologue of what you see on your mental screen will crowd out your mind\u2019s doubts and criticisms about whether what you\u2019re seeing is real.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you scan, <strong>make note of which areas of the body you\u2019re drawn to<\/strong>\u2014for example, you might note that the person\u2019s left knee seems to be flashing more brightly than the other body parts, maybe because of an injury. Trust your instincts and try not to second-guess yourself; remember, even if it feels like you\u2019re making everything up, that doesn\u2019t mean that you are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remotely-healing-others\"><strong>Remotely Healing Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve diagnosed the problem, you can begin trying to remotely heal the person. To psychically heal someone, first, go to your Alpha level. On your mental screen, call up a detailed picture of the person in need of healing. On the screen to the left (because, as we discussed, the left represents the future), create a new image that represents the person being healed somehow. (Shortform note: Silva doesn\u2019t specify, but presumably, this is the step in the process in which you\u2019d use the imagined \u201ctools\u201d in your laboratory to heal the person.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, on the far left of the screen, imagine the person entirely healed. Try to genuinely believe that this healed version of the person is now reality\u2014just like when you\u2019re manifesting positive outcomes for yourself, you must want the outcome, believe it\u2019s possible, and fully believe that it <em>will <\/em>happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The practice of remote healing has become even more popular in the digital age. Practitioners use various techniques, but most claim that they\u2019re able to heal people remotely by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/mind-body\/remote-energy-healing-does-it-actually-work#what-to-expect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manipulating the energy in the person\u2019s body<\/a>, which quantum physics shows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4654780\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">isn\u2019t necessarily impossible<\/a> to do from a distance. However, academic research on whether these remote healing practices actually work has had mixed results. Different techniques and practitioners have different results, and some studies are not methodologically sound, making it hard to draw conclusions from their results.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s psychic healing?
