When Jose Silva refers to "practice visualization at 20 vibrations," he is referring to a technique used in the Silva Method to achieve a relaxed and focused state of mind for effective visualization. In the Silva Method, vibrations are a metaphorical representation of brainwave frequencies associated with different states of consciousness.
The term "20 vibrations" specifically corresponds to the alpha brainwave frequency, which ranges between 8 to 12 cycles per second (Hz). This frequency is associated with a relaxed and meditative state of mind, where the individual is in a calm and receptive state, making it ideal for visualization exercises.
To practice visualization at 20 vibrations, one would typically follow these steps:
Relaxation: Find a comfortable and quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and allow your body to relax. You can use relaxation techniques like progressive muscle relaxation or deep breathing to achieve a state of relaxation.
Centering: Imagine a centering point within your mind, a mental focal point that helps you feel grounded and centered. This could be a specific spot or image that you create in your imagination.
Countdown: Mentally count down from 100 to 1, with each number bringing you deeper into relaxation. Imagine yourself descending a staircase or an elevator, with each step taking you closer to a peaceful and calm state.
Alpha-level: Once you reach a deep state of relaxation, visualize yourself entering a state of alpha-level consciousness. Imagine your mind and body becoming attuned to the alpha brainwave frequency, which is associated with relaxation and receptivity.
Visualization: With your mind in this relaxed state, begin visualizing your desired outcome or scenario. Use vivid mental imagery, imagination, and sensory details to make the visualization as realistic and immersive as possible. See yourself achieving your goal or experiencing the desired outcome.
By practicing visualization at 20 vibrations, or the alpha brainwave frequency, individuals aim to tap into their subconscious mind's power and enhance the effectiveness of their visualizations. It is believed that this relaxed state of mind allows for better focus, concentration, and receptivity to positive suggestions and mental imagery, leading to improved results in various aspects of life.
