What is the Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique?

We have all felt physical pain at some point in our lives, it is how we learn not to touch things as children and it is a conditioning process by which we understand the dangers of the world around us. Unfortunately we also have other things that cause our body pain whether we want to or not. One in 12 people in the United States are taking prescription main medication, and that isn’t counting those taking over the counter medications. As a society we have come to believe that if we take a magic pill the pain goes away, but all to often the pills don’t work or we have to take more and more to forget the pain. More people are beginning to turn away from the conventional pill method and look for more long term and more organic methods of healing. The mind can do amazing things, and many people have shown that they can endure some intense pain simply by conditioning their mind to ignore it.

Many natural healers do nothing more than lay hands on patients to take away their pain, and the possibility that we can do it for ourselves is something that must also be considered. The Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique works with the mind to remove pain naturally, without pain killers and through nothing more than simple visualization. Many people have come to rely on this method as a quick and easy way of healing their everyday aches and pains so they don’t have to live on pain medication. It is another example of the minds power over the physical body and a great way of proving to yourself that you do not need to rely on modern medicine or any magic pill to cure yourself of many daily ills. In fact if you can make your pain go away simply with the power of your mind it opens up the possibility to how much more you may be able to achieve.

How does the Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique work?

As we have said already the fact that the mind can overcome much of what we physically feel has been proven time and time again. The Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique works on this mind over matter concept. The first step to the Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique is being good at visualization, though you can try without it the more successful your visualizations are the better your pain management will be. You can begin by putting yourself into a relaxed meditative state. Most Silva techniques suggest this as it will help to focus your mind and by improving this you will be able to better concentrate your skills on the specific area. You can practice some basic visualization exercises before attempting this but it is not necessary.

Once you are in a relaxed state imagine the hand you plan on using is sitting in a bucket of very cold ice water. Feel the tingling and burning sensation of the ice but above all feel it going numb with the cold. Concentrate on that cold feeling until you really feel that hand is cold and numb, in fact you should not even be able to feel your hand anymore just the coldness where your hand should be if you are fully focused.

Once you are fully aware of that coldness you can move your arm out of the “bucket”, feel the cold coming with you as if it is part of your hand like a glove. Take the glove and rub it on to the site of your pain, feel the coldness seeping from your hand into the area and numbing the pain, visualize the cold penetrating and soothing inside your skin where the problem is and washing away the pain.

Continue to do this until the painful area is numb and cold and you can feel your hand once more. Remain relaxed for a few minutes and you should no longer feel the pain in the area or it should have lessened considerably.

Once you have this method practiced you should not even need to physically use your hand to rub the cold onto the area anymore. In fact you should be able to visualize moving the coldness from your hand directly to the affected area or begin with the affected area once you are really skillful.

What are the benefits of the Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique?

Probably the biggest benefit of this Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique is the fact that you will no longer have to rely on pain medications. Medications can be expensive but they are also damaging to the body; patients who have remained on painkillers for any extended period of time have shown liver damage, kidney damage, and many other medical problems that can all be attributed to the use of painkillers. What many doctors won’t tell you is just how toxic these magic pills really are.

The Silva method eliminates or at the very least lessens the need for pain medications.

An other benefit to using the glove anesthesia method is that it can be used anywhere, perhaps if you are not yet comfortable leaving your medications behind you may have run out or forgotten them. You will be able to visualize the coldness and use this for pain management system anywhere, and therefore never need live with pain again.

What are the dangers of the Silva Glove Anesthesia Technique?

As with any strong visualization exercise it is very easy to get lost within it. Focusing your mind on numbing any part of your body can be a little too successful. It is important to make sure you keep some of your sensation active or your can risk losing the feeling for a lot longer than just the exercise.

Once you have mastered  your visualization skills you should be able to do this without any problems but it is beneficial to your safety to start small, even working with just one finger if you are unsure of yourself at first and then building up to a whole hand.
