The Silva Technique: Mirror of the Mind

by Elizabeth Saigal

The “Mirror of the Mind” is one of the key visualization techniques in the Silva Method. It is designed to help individuals transform challenges into solutions by engaging the mind’s creative and problem-solving abilities.

This exercise is often used for goal achievement, problem-solving, healing, and personal growth. I think it can also be used to deconstruct our programming and reconnect with the essence of the self.

Steps to Use the Mirror of the Mind

Enter the Alpha State:
- Begin by relaxing your body and mind through deep breathing or guided relaxation.
- Imagine yourself in the alpha state, a calm and focused mental state.
Visualize a Mirror:
- Picture a large mirror in your mind. This mirror is a tool for reflecting and transforming your current situation.
Present the Problem (Left Side):
- Imagine the mirror on the left side displaying your current challenge, limiting belief, or undesired situation.
- Be specific and visualize the issue clearly (e.g., a health problem, limiting thought, or goal not yet achieved).
Shift to the Solution (Right Side):
- Move the focus to a new mirror on the right side, representing the solution or desired outcome.
- Visualize this outcome as vividly as possible, incorporating positive emotions, details, and sensory experiences.
- Imagine yourself fully experiencing the success, healing, or transformation you desire.
Reinforce with Emotions:
- Feel the joy, gratitude, and confidence as you see yourself living the solution.
- Engage as if it has already happened, reinforcing the visualization with positive emotions.
Return to the Present:
- Gradually bring yourself back to a waking state while holding onto the positive feelings from the visualization.
- Trust that the solution is already in motion and that your subconscious will work toward making it a reality.

Ask, Align, and Act—these three things bring us into flow with creating our experience.

The Law of Vibration states that everything in the universe, including thoughts, feelings, and physical objects, is energy in constant motion vibrating at a specific frequency. These vibrations influence the energy we attract into our lives.

The Law of Attraction further applies the idea that thoughts are a form of energy. It has traditionally been interpreted as meaning that you get what you focus on. So, focusing on positive outcomes can attract success, love, and abundance, while a negative focus can bring undesirable results.

With this in mind, we ask for things that we think will be fulfilling and bring us happiness. However, it is more correct to interpret the Law of Vibration as the energy of who you are. This means it is more about the energy of your being of which what you focus on comprises a small part. A better interpretation of the Law of Attraction is you get who you are. This means that to manifest more we must evolve to a higher frequency. This means becoming more conscious and aware of our higher selves.

Positive psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the study and promotion of well-being, happiness, and positive emotions.

The Law of Attraction also promotes using positive emotions to create the life we want. The Teachings of Abraham channeled by Esther Hicks describe how to use an emotional scale to assess our vibrational state. Love, joy, and appreciation are at the top of this scale.

Barbara Fredrickson, a leading researcher in positive psychology, introduces the concept of the “broaden-and-build” theory, which suggests that positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, love, and hope broaden our thinking and awareness, enabling us to see more possibilities and make better decisions. This theory contrasts with how negative emotions work, which tend to narrow our focus for survival purposes.

Optimal EFT, introduced by Gary Craig, is a spiritual and energy-based healing approach that emphasizes the power of the mind and the concept of a higher consciousness or divine presence to address emotional and physical issues.

It is an extension of basic clinical EFT Tapping, which Craig founded. With EFT Tapping aspects are identified and then you tap on a set of meridian points with your fingers to move the energy. Both optimal EFT and clinical EFT Tapping focus on negative emotion as an indicator of stuck energy. With Optimal EFT, once aspects are identified instead of tapping participants connect with love through a powerful memory and then call on a universal oneness or divine knowing presence (termed “The Unseen Therapist”).

The book The Laws of Manifestation by David Spangler describes two ways of working with The Law of Attraction, the old method and a new one that is a natural progression. David outlines a shift from separate to integrated or from individual intentionally to holistic life-shaping and world-crafting.

David says there is a “difference between standing outside a system and acting upon it, imposing your will upon it, and standing within a system as a part of it and changing it by becoming an active part of its will.”

Most older models approach goals as linear and reductive without consideration of the complex dynamic system that comes with each goal. It is a more participatory process not only what you will receive, but also what you will give and who you will become. You are birthing yourself and supporting others in the same. The synchronicity of the system also includes how you help others realize their goal(s). In this regard, by making your goal what is needed, life will take care of your needs.
