I used the Silva method of relaxation during a recent MRI. I had to be in the MRI "culvert" for 40 minutes without moving. I had to lay perfectly still and I had no sedation. It was like being in a very small coffin. To make matters worse I had to keep my arm in a position that was causing pain in my shoulder (I have a frozen shoulder).
I didn't open my eyes and I went to my level. I then counted down from 10 to 1 and went to my "laboratory". These are some of things I did while in my laboratory. I redocorated it to my better liking, I had a latte at Starbucks (they are conveniently located just adjacent to my laboratory), I comfortably sat on my leather couch and read my favorite magazine. The 40 minutes went by in no time. I was able to control my mind so as not to go crazy with feeling claustrophobic. When the pain got too much I focused the white light directly on it and I actually felt warmth. So all in all it worked great and I don't know what I would have done without it.
Yes, definately. It works in many situations you would never think until they happen.
I am glad I made the purchase.
