Their writing and marketing is very effective. But they are close to my definition of evil with selling points like these:
The correct way to do healing visualizations, whether
someone’s suffering from cancer, liver problems, or any
ache or pain.
Hard to believe? Well… consider that a world-renowned
cancer therapy researcher Dr. O Carl Simonton called the
Silva technique: “the most powerful single tool that I can
offer my patients”.
It’s supposed to help depression, control pain, increase
longevity, slow down cancers,...
Cancer Patients:
Show significantly higher wellbeing levels, improved
cognitive functions, and less inflammation. Subjects even
report greater sexual satisfaction.
Learn to protect yourself against chronic diseases such as
cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and heart attacks.
I've been able to cure the cancer I had, help to solve
murders, find missing people.
You put yourself at risk for developing diseases such as
cancer ... Through a technique called Quantum Jumping,
you can learn how to access deep restfulness.
Cancer patients can cause their cancer to go into
spontaneous remission (which means “disappear”)...
through the practice of creative visualization.
Could a doctor really cure cancer? Does this seem too
impossible? And if it’s true then why don’t more people
know about it? A Healing Miracle – How One Doctor Used
Silva To Cure Cancer... people just don’t want to take
that step and realize the healing powers of their own
mind. It is after all easier to go see a doctor and have
them tell you what pill or treatment to take.[deleted]

This isn't even really "spiritual thinking". And if it was, it would be available for free, or at a very low cost. Not $297.

Wow, particularly scummy practice when trying to close the tab on that page as well. Blocked me from closing it with a popup by saying data I had entered would be lost, while replacing the page in the background with the pricing box.
Thought we'd left those kind of practices behind a decade or more ago.

yeah, that bothered me as well.
"Are you sure you want to leave? Stay on this page to try Chakra Healing for 30 risk-free days and join the thousands who have already experienced this phenomenon for themselves."
gross.

I meant to reply this here: There are certain clues, including prominent language use, that shows that this company isn't being guided by someone or people who would be practicing these philosophies - they are just wrapping them up in a marketing package to try to make money off of people. I won't give specific examples of the language as to tip them off to change it.
> But real entrepreneurs push the human race forward.
And Mindvalley is doing that by selling, ugh, stuff like Chakra7? http://www.chakrahealing.com/products/academy ? I got that from the link on the blog post page.
Even a highschool wannabe philosopher couldn't output such pretentious bullshit without feeling a bit shaken by the cognitive disonance. You, sir, are a true businessman!
