Valeriy Sinelnikov, a psychologist, psychosomatic specialist, homeopath, and author on healing of the soul and body, is known for his books and practical conferences, lectures, and private consultations.
About the Author
Born in 1966 into a typical family with an officer father and teacher mother, Sinelnikov excelled in school and university. Currently, he is a certified doctor (first higher education) and psychotherapist (second higher education).
Discovering the inseparable connection between body and soul, Sinelnikov delved deeper into psychosomatics. He dedicates much of his work to this field, traveling the world, conducting training and seminars, treating patients, and writing books. He believes that identifying subconscious problems accelerates treatment of any disease, cures chronic diseases, and strengthens overall immunity.
Interesting Fact! Sinelnikov’s books are translated into various languages and published in different countries. In Russia, he has established his charitable foundation, “Dr. Sinelnikov’s School of Health and Joy.”
Main Ideas and Principles
According to Sinelnikov’s theory, all physical ailments stem from negative thinking and emotional blocks. Each problem has its psychological prerequisites, and every body part, system, and organ has its psychosomatic significance. Identifying the link between life problems and somatic disorders can permanently cure even seemingly incurable diseases.
His primary principle for treatment and health preservation: everything in the Universe must be in balance. Harmonious living with oneself and the world leads to happiness and health. The Universe shares its immense energy with those in harmony with it. If one loves themselves and the world, it will reciprocate with health, wealth, success, love, and happiness.
According to Sinelnikov, people are divided into three groups:
- Victims (constantly offended by others and life, feeling the world’s injustice);
- Tyrants (aggressive, accustomed to trampling over others, ignoring their needs);
- Wizards, or masters of life (believing in personal responsibility for their life, able to achieve anything if desired).
The first two types are destructive, while the last mindset ensures a long and happy life.
Important! The main life principle for health preservation is purity of thoughts. Desires and needs of the individual should not contradict the laws of the Universe and others’ interests.
Body Symbolism by Valeriy Sinelnikov
Diseases are the subconscious’s cry. Only it knows how to live in harmony with the Universe and what is right or wrong in life. When life errors reach a critical level, the subconscious draws attention through the somatization of conflict. Errors include (psychosomatics, Sinelnikov):
- Aggressive and destructive thoughts;
- Negative thinking;
- Wrong actions;
- Erroneous beliefs;
- Negative emotions.
Somatization by the subconscious points out a person’s mistakes, suggesting it’s time for change in life.

Methods of Psychological Treatment
For healing, it’s necessary to identify the psychological problem, recognize the destructive belief, and replace it with a positive one. Only a change in thinking and lifestyle will help overcome the disease. Understand that health and life quality reflect your thoughts. You alone are responsible for your personal happiness.
Key theses from V. Sinelnikov’s theory for healing:
- The more negative your thoughts and the more negative emotions you have, the worse your health and success.
- You must maintain purity of thoughts, words, and actions.
- Optimism and positive thinking are the main tools for achieving goals.
- Everyone is unique. Learn to respect and acknowledge this. Be tolerant of others, allow them and yourself to be authentic.
- If a child is ill, analyze the behavior of the parents. Their thoughts, words, and actions led to the deterioration of the child’s health.
To identify the precise psychological cause of a disease, communicate with the subconscious. How to establish a connection:
- Relax;
- Feel lightness throughout your body;
- Ask your subconscious about the causes of the disease (which words, thoughts, or actions led to this).
You might hear a phrase or word, see an image, feel a scent, etc. Something will emerge that hints at the cause. Thank your subconscious for the response. If there’s no answer, repeat the procedure later.
