Meet Candace Silvers

We recently connected with Candace Silvers and have shared our conversation below.

Candace, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

Finding my purpose came easily. When I touched people, they healed. When I spoke with them, coached them, guided them, they could no longer hold their obstacles as true, and their choices in life grew exponentially.

I was in awe, watching people heal and expand in their own personal lives.

The hardest part was working on me, understanding what I was doing, and then developing myself continuously along the way to be able to handle that kind of power.

Growing up, when I shared with friends and family, they looked at me like I had three heads. So I learned to be quiet about what I knew and only share it with those who came and asked for guidance in my classes.

This process turned out to be a lifetime of hard knocks, learning that I was different.

My self-esteem always took a big hit. Born in the early ’60s, not only was there no one around who felt similar, I was also considered “wrong” simply for being different.

Back then, I didn’t know I was different. I just spoke or behaved the way that felt normal, like any child or young adult would. But I was consistently met with: What are you doing? You can’t do that. That’s wrong. Why don’t you just learn to fit in?

When I say it’s a lonely road, I’m not kidding. But when you can really help people, how do you choose fitting in over manifesting something this powerful for our global communities?

I was practicing Kundalini yoga with Yogi Bhajan in the early 70s and meditating when people thought it was a cult, or just plain crazy to sit still and watch their thoughts as separate from their mind.

My father was a movie star with seven Emmys for Best Actor and four Tonys for his Broadway performances. My family was not happy with me.

My four sisters were on the Mary Lou Henner talk show in the ’90s, on an episode called Sisters, but forgot to invite me. As hard as it was, it was a great foundation for what was to come.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

For the last 30+ years, I’ve been teaching an active meditation, whether in my Human Behavioral Classes or my Silvers Healing Academies.

My Human Behavioral Classes teach the individual how to see beyond what they currently know to be true, so they can step into anything they’ve ever desired. What that means is: your eyes are open and your lips are moving, but you’re not connected to the truth of your mind. Your thoughts are still happening, nonstop, but you’re no longer listening to them as the only truth.

When you’re new to this art form, it’s almost impossible to separate the two, until you begin to become aware.

The brilliance for anyone willing to play is: as you begin to learn where to place your attention, a bridge appears, extending beyond what you currently know to be true.

Your mind will tell you it’s impossible because you haven’t been there yet. As we all now know, the mind is only interested in the proof of what it already knows, and in safety.

But for those of us who want to live beyond what we currently know, that bridge becomes an exciting next step.

The first time you take that step, the tangibility of your own visceral reality begins to appear and the line drawn in the sand of “impossible” becomes flimsy.

Once I began to extrapolate and create these tools, there was no turning back.

Now, 40 years later, I can clearly see that all of those obstacles caused the transcendence needed for my growth so I could lead and guide others into our multidimensional world.

But my goodness, the desire to quit and just fit in was always one step away. Thank God I never took that step.

Today, I’ve trained doctors, nurses, Reiki Masters, healthcare professionals, and everyday householders in over 52 countries.

But getting here felt like a continuous fall off the tallest mountain, never knowing whether I’d hit the ground or find a bridge under my feet. It’s a daunting world to be part of, creating something that doesn’t yet exist in our culture.

Looking back now, there was consistent confirmation as the world caught up, decade by decade. Yoga in the ’70s was considered a cult. Today, it’s practiced in elementary schools.

But when something is visceral, tangible, something you can see, smell, and taste even if no one else can, it’s impossible to turn away.

I believe we’re all interested in alchemy. But the burn, in the moment, can really feel like death. Over and over again.

To stand in the fire of the unknown while everyone’s pointing and laughing or saying you’re insane for being able to heal someone… but when you know you can, how do you turn away?

The first time I was on Gaia TV with Regina Meredith about 20 years ago, I spoke about the multidimensional world. The entrance to that world, for me, was the beginning of discovering the difference between “real” and “reel.”

At 11 years old, I was molested by a family friend. At 17, I finally got the courage to share what had happened with my family and to my shock, they sided with the molester. In the early ’70s, if you were molested, it was your fault.

My truth was very real to me. I knew what had happened, but I couldn’t get anyone to help, protect, or believe me. I believe this was one of the origin points of my learning ground, to stand for my truth and protect myself, even if no one else was coming.

Just like yoga, it was a cult, until it wasn’t.

In my 40s, it came out in a local paper that the same Beverly Hills producer had been caught molesting a 14-year-old girl in the OC and was sentenced to jail.

My family called to apologize and say they now understood. But 30 years had passed, and I had already done the work to develop the ability to stand in the storm of no community recognition. My task then became being grateful that I was no longer alone in that storm.

Out of the ashes comes the Phoenix, right? But in order for the Phoenix to be born, the burn has to occur. So those 30 years of loneliness and being told I made something up were actually my training ground. I was learning to stand in the storm of no family or community agreement powerfully.

Instead of becoming angry and a victim of my circumstances, I chose to take care of others, where I could see their storms brewing and help guide them out; To teach them how to create a bridge and step into their own personal power.

The truth is, it was during my classes that I taught myself how to gently guide myself out of the storm of my own mind.

With alchemy- what isn’t real burns away, but to the mind, it can feel like death. Even though it’s actually freedom from the bondage of self. The burn removes everything culture has taught us that no longer serves us. I simply wasn’t willing to be broken as a little girl just to fit in.

Alchemy isn’t something you can understand by reading a book. This is a visceral, direct experience one you must participate in.

For instance, we don’t get to know what it feels like to climb Mount Everest unless we actually get on the mountain.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

1. Standing in Excellence No matter what.

Because it’s where we get to find out who we truly are.

2. Learning to stand not in knowledge, “but NoLedge”

It’s truly a daunting task, but my goodness, it’s worth the ride of your life!

Along the way, you learn you cannot fail. You can only connect deeper to the truth of who you truly are.

3. A life of service

A commitment to tending to those in front of you.

Because it teaches you to extend beyond your own personal obstacles, always guiding and lighting the way.

All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?

I got canceled, along with the best of them, in February 2020, in The Hollywood Reporter. It was a big enough magazine to make a difference. I came from a successful Hollywood family and had high-profile clients, so I became clickbait.

The article was pure hearsay. Mean. Disrespectful. Alluding to the idea that I was a cult leader?!

Turns out, three of my former students got together and decided that if they canceled me, they could teach my Level One Healing Academy and reap the rewards.

It was a silly premise. What I’ve created encompasses the multidimensional, metaphysical world.

For instance, in Week 6 of my Level One Academy, I initiate my students with the energy I’ve conjured, created, and connected to. In the moment I initiate them, they can turn to their friends and loved ones and really heal them.

All these three students could do was repeat the words they remembered me saying during the six-week class they took.

What was even more shocking was learning the journalist was in on it too. He used those same students in his next article to try to cancel their next teacher as well.

I never responded to the journalist when he emailed with his threats of printing his article. Because truth doesn’t need defending. It just needs time. The light always shines.

But the burn began again; this time it was public humiliation. I was the witch, and I was burning.

However, this time, I knew it was simply grace. God was asking me to stand and weather the storm one more time.

It’s interesting when we burn a witch at the stake. Everyone screams, “Burn the witch!”

But no one asks: Who are the people indicting her, and what are their motives?

The sad part, for me, was the thousands of people over those five years who needed healing but didn’t receive it. Or the doctors and nurses who read that article and never came to be trained.

Of course, almost five years later, just like yoga, everyone knows the article was ridiculous and the journalist was in on it.

But at the time, I had to hang on to the sides of the boat, rocking in the storm, and remind myself: I was here for a higher purpose.

And this time, the burn was sweet.

I knew I was transcending learning to stand in the impossible, one more time.

The more we burn, the stronger we become by discovering who we truly are. It’s the exact opposite of what culture teaches us.

Our lives aren’t about getting there. They’re about deepening here.

With all of life’s curves and turns, it’s still a straight road if you pull back far enough.

One of my favorite lines I reminded myself of during that time: Row your boat gently… life is but a dream.

As I write this article, another Pilot Program is studying my work and modality, this time led by a doctor who founded an NIH-funded Clinical Research Center at a US School of Medicine 30 years ago. She’s working to get my modality into Year 2 of Medical School training.

The thought that when my body is no longer on this planet, my work will still help people in need, that The Silvers Healing Modality has the opportunity to become a household tool brings me deep peace.

If it took that many years for yoga to get normalized in our culture, I figure I’ve got a few more years to go.

But this time I’ve got the tools to wait with.

What has helped me the most – without a shadow of a doubt – has been my four children. From the time they were born, it was somehow instilled in me that my job was not just to feed and clothe them but to discern for them that life is a possibility we were all gifted the right to play with.

The tools I’ve developed and the technology I’ve created, have been developed in direct correlation to breaking down every wall or impossibility that came before me. I knew if I didn’t do it myself, my children would be caught behind that wall… of thought.

This knowledge could not be found in a book or another human being. It was discovered simply because of my deep desire to share with my children that life was truly a wonderland we were gifted the right to play in.

There was no way I wasn’t going to create what was needed to give them a fulfilled, incredible, miraculous life.

Today, my eldest son has two Michelin stars and a career in the food industry like no other. My youngest son has one Michelin star. My eldest daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA and helps run my eldest son’s 30+ restaurants. My youngest daughter was an exercise rider at the racetrack, working for Bob Baffert’s barn; her career began at 15.

My children don’t believe in walls. Their belief systems have trained them: if you push hard enough, the wall will come down to become a walkway or bridge beyond your wildest dreams.

There was nothing I wasn’t going to do for them to pattern that anything is possible.
