Has anyone tried dynamic meditation/ know where to get CD's training by this doctor?

Is this the silva method/program? Has anyone tried this---
I'm convinced mind and body and you can heal-question is, how does one tap into that?

I have read a book on mind power (dont have details with me now) that talks about giving instructions to sub mind. I tried it and found symptoms reduce to a large extent. Unfortunately, this lasted only a week or so. I would recommend without a doubt ...

Selmahope,

I don't live anywhere near a center that uses the silva method but going to a meditation center and learning how to meditate I hope will be a step in the right direction. I'm realizing that all my life I have always been unhappy with myself - not pretty enough, not smart enough, not rich enough - and I've always wished for more. Then ms came into my life and I never go 5 minutes without thinking about it and how it affects me constantly. This has to change. I listen to Lyon talk about how his wife ignores the fact that she has ms in her daily life and goes on with her life. I think she's found the sweet spot for herself. I need to find my sweet spot. I'm starting a course in meditation Thursday to help me get there. I don't like the way ms has taken over my life. I would rather tuck my obsession with ms away and focus on my family, friendships, and work. I think meditation might help me find my sweet spot.

I met a lady the other day who was very nice. She said, "Don't worry, it robs you of the joy of the day". I am going to try to live her words.

Take care,
Marcia

Yes- I don' t have an MS diagnosis-but been in agony with 20+ symptoms for past 6 months (declining horribly last 6 months)-

I'm having a problem getting a grip on the fear as every day I get some new weird symptoms- and numbness is spreading-

going to a psychologist-she recommends Jon Kabat Zinn mindfulness meditation programs (see his website and books)-since I'm in pain alot(nerve pain up neck/brain)--it's tough to meditate-then have the anxiety /fear issue on top of everything- which is probably feeding the illness-viscious circle-

I do wonder if healing capabiity is deepwithin all of us-- there seems to be some people who do reverse MS etc-- can the mind heal the body? they are cetainly intertwined- and I think stress is a big component of causing my illness and now I'm more stressed every day than I've ever been in my life with every part of my body affected right now-

I would love to know how others deal with the stress/fear of neurological illnesses and overcome it.
