Silva Life System

Washington Post Article on The Silva Method

by Laura Silva in Mind Control, Silva Method

I've always known that we have people from all walks of life attending our seminars and classes, but I particularly love it when journalists and writers attend our classes because, well, because then they will publish it in the newspapers!

Back in 1972, a staff writer by the name of David R. Boldt at The Washington Post attended a Silva Mind Control seminar in 1972.

And I'm very happy to say that I found the article!

The Silva Mind Control was the earlier version of the Silva Intuition System, that also teaches you how to develop your intuition or clairvoyance skills. Those days, they were more familiarly known as Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) and psychic abilities.

In this report, David R. Boldt recalled almost every detail of his four-night, five day course he attended and how it has helped him as well as other Silva students who attended the seminar.

So now that I managed to get on here, you can read it too! Download the report here.

New York Times Features The Silva Method

I'm very happy to be able to get my hands on this fantastic article and share it with all of you.

How amazing it must have been when two universities broke the news that they would offer the Silva Mind Control Seminar to its students?

It must have also changed a lot of minds and perception when The New York Times clearly stated that those who attends a Silva seminar are clearly business people and university students.

Take a look at it below, I managed to paste it here for your reading pleasure. You can even click on the photo to read a larger version of it.

April 16, 1972 New York Times - Can Man Control His Mind

“A recent study by Trinity University, San Antonio, Tex. would appear to indicate that graduates of Mind Control do attain a high degree of Alpha production. C. W. Post College, Greenvale, L. I., is planning to offer the course at its business school this fall and Canisius College will offer it in its Department of Religious Studies.”

“A visit to a Mind Control class in New York discloses more stockbrokers than bearded way outs and the dress style is closer to Brooks Brothers than to the East Village. A major New York company has sent all its top executives through the course and its president, a hard-headed businessman is seriously thinking of instituting an in-house training program for all employees. He refused to speak for the record, saying, We think there is something there, but I don’t want to alarm our stockbrokers at the moment.”

“Other businessmen are not so reluctant. Lee Epstein, a vice- president and art group supervisor at Doyle Dane Bernbach volunteered: “It opened the gates for me. It has re-energized me, made me more creative and yet more relaxed. I practice it every day and get better and better at my job and my life.”

Creativity’s Best Kept Secret – How To Use The Alpha Level To Tap Its Source

by Laura Silva in Enhanced Creativity, Meditation

Add Comment

Think!

A few days ago, I sent you an email about the Silva Centering exercise. I hope you've received it but if you haven't, don't worry, you can get it now on the sidebar to your left

So today I want to talk to you about using the Silva Method to enhance your creativity levels. I think I may have told you this before but did you know that my father, Jose Silva was once recognized by a community of artists for how his work helped with their creativity levels.

I suppose you're wondering how this can be done

It can easily be achieved with active powerful meditation.

As I explained before, you can use active meditation to help you achieve anything you desire, as opposed to just going to your alpha level and simply remaining there in a state of relaxed meditation.

With relaxed meditation, you can:

gain inspirational ideas and thoughts
program your brain to kick bad habits
accelerate your natural healing process
develop your intuition

You can even create coincidences to move you toward your goals while at this level of mind!

Today, I'm going to teach you to gain creative ideas or inspiration while at this level. Once you've understood how to do this, you can apply it to all areas of your life, for example, when writing a term paper, creating a marketing plan or even when you want to compose a song! You can do this easily by tapping into your inner source of creativity.

Gaining Inspiration From Within

My father Jose Silva used to hold demonstrations on creativity with the kids of our hometown in Loredo, Texas. He would ask the kids to think of solutions to a particular problem while they're at the Beta (or waking) level of mind.

He would then guide them to the Alpha (or meditative) level of mind and ask them to come up with other solutions. The results? The kids who were at Alpha level were always able to come up with brighter, creative ideas as compared to when they were at the Beta level of mind.

So the question remains, does your mind function at a more creative level while at the Alpha state of mind?

A Guided Meditation To The Silva Centering Exercise

by Laura Silva in Guided Meditation, Jose Silva, Laura Silva, Personal Growth

5 Comments

I have something special for you and it costs $500,000 (in the 1960's - so imagine how much it is now!)

I'm talking about the Silva Method's famous mind conditioning systems. It took my father, Jose Silva, 22 years of research and more than $500,000 to develop them. They are based on various mind frequencies and can be used to access the various levels of the mind such as the Beta, Theta and Alpha level.

I want to share with you an exercise that will guide you to your center brain frequency, the Alpha level—the level for deep relaxation.

Young woman meditating at beach

While at your center you will experience many beneficial effects of deep meditation. These include:

the reduction of stress
positive influence on your health
mental programming
the kicking of bad habits
goal setting through creative visualization
the enhancement of creativity and intuition

I've put up the the exercise audio for you below, but before you take a listen, it is very important that you understand Meditation and Levels of the Mind. In case you want to refresh your memory, you can read what I wrote again here.

Once you've clearly understood Meditation and Levels of the Mind, you can then start to use the Centering Exercise.

But first, please keep in mind the points below while practicing the Centering Exercise, so that you may experience the maximum benefits of this exercise.

The Three Things You Must Do

First, practice on your concentration. Concentration is a basic skill. Concentrate on what the instructor tells you to do via the audio
Second, practice using your imagination. We want you to learn how to exaggerate your imagination because you will be in a better position to control your creative visualization. At the same time, it will keep you active while going through the exercise. By being mentally active, you'll avoid drifting off to sleep.
Third, you must practice coordinating your physiological relaxation with your mental relaxation. It is easy to go into mental relaxation. But you must learn to let your body relax too. It takes a little longer for you to relax your body than it does for you to relax your mind.

Understanding Meditation and Levels of Mind

by Laura Silva in Laura Silva, Meditation, Personal Growth, Silva Method

1 Comment

To truly master and receive the full effects of the Silva Method, it's very important that you understand the basic fundamentals of Meditation and Levels of Mind so that it would be easier for you to bring about the changes that you want in your life.

So I've written about meditation and posted it up below. Hopefully it will be helpful and I've also written a little about brain frequencies and how it influences us.

Understanding Meditation

meditation-3

More and more people are taking up meditation and in America alone, 10 million people are now meditating daily. I won't be surprised if this number grows everyday.

We know for a fact that meditation is good for both your body and your mind. Even the doctors are recommending it! I've compiled a few news headlines that talks about this. It's from 2003... but they're still very good reads!

From the Washington Times – Aug 14, 2003

A new study shows [that] people who underwent meditation training produced more antibodies to a flu vaccine than people who did not meditate. Those who took part in the meditation study also showed signs of increased activity in areas of the brain related to positive emotion, as compared to people who did not meditate.

CBS News – Aug 27, 2003

People who meditate these days come from all walks of life and aren’t necessarily weird New Agers or pretentious actors. Students, lawyers, West Point cadets, athletes, prisoners, and government officials all meditate. It’s supposed to help depression, control pain, increase longevity, slow down cancers, invigorate the immune system, and significantly reduce blood pressure. Time magazine recently reported that “meditation can sometimes be used to replace Viagra.”

Time Magazine – Aug 4, 2003

Not only do studies show that meditation is boosting their immune system, but brain scans suggest that it may be rewiring their brains to reduce stress. It’s recommended by more and more physicians as a way to prevent, slow or at least control the pain of chronic diseases like heart conditions, AIDS, cancer and infertility.

As you can see, meditation provides many benefits even when done by a beginner.

Now to help deepen your understanding, I will explain the two different types of meditation and their functionality.

The Two Types of Meditation: Passive and Active

When we meditate, several important things happen physically and mentally. First, we are “focusing internally” and letting go of the outside world (similar to going to sleep, but without losing consciousness).

This allows our brains to shift into more stable, stronger brain frequencies (called alpha and theta by scientists) normally reached during sleep.

When we can reduce our brain frequencies to these levels while staying awake we are able to bring the unconscious mind to the conscious level. This allows us to control and harness the power of the unconscious mind.

There are two types of meditation.

Discovering Your True Potential With The Silva Method

by Laura Silva in Finding The Faith, Laura Silva, Mind Over Matter, Personal Growth

Add Comment

Imagine how you would feel if you had it all…

Spare no details, imagine the feeling of living your dream - that could be a beautiful family, running your own successful business, changing the world - ANYTHING! What would you be doing?

What would you look like? Who would you be with? Spare no details, imagine the feeling of living your dream and most importantly :

How would you feel?

Now its time for the tough question—do you have what you really, really want? Be honest with yourself - it will only help! ( A little tip - if there is a difference between the ideal life you just imagined and your own current reality, there is a good chance you have settled when you deserve better!)

Are you settling—have you given up on creating the ideal life you once dreamed of? Is this where you thought you would be 5 years ago? 10 years ago?

I don't think anyone has to live a life that is ordinary—the sad thing is-most people do.

But by doing so they miss out on their true potential.

This post is about discovering your purpose in life and using your creative energies to fulfill this purpose. A life built around a greater purpose is a life that is truly fulfilling and exciting.

Different people have different definitions of success.

How would you define Success? For you success could be:

starting a profitable business
starting a loving family
writing a book
owning a beautiful 3-bedroom home in the country
running a marathon
spending 2 years abroad with the Peace Corps
earning your first one million dollars
recovering from a life-threatening illness

No matter what your definition is, it’s important to dream big and set a goal of what you’re seeking to accomplish.

Once you know what you want, the next step is to manifest it into your life. But often our manifestations are restricted cause we don't realize our capacity and capability.

So before I begin, let’s take a glimpse at what the mind is really capable of accomplishing.

Inspirational Stories FROM YOU about Business, Health and More..

KeyToSuccessXSmall There is never an end to how much have Silva Graduates have been able to achieve. Not Just in the field of Business, but in Health, Relationships and lot more.

I had no reason to not share these great stories. Sometimes all we need is a little bit more faith and we can walk through the mental barrier that has been holding us back. Take the next step, I am with you like all other Silva Graduates.

For now, enjoy reading.

Business

My stress levels have dropped remarkably just by using Silva

My consulting business is tied completely to the building business and we all know where that has gone in the past months. I have lost over 75% of my clients to foreclosures, bankruptcy and just giving up their business's. The loss in income has been devastating. We have been living on our savings, trying to keep things together but we came to the end of our ropes. My family life has suffered. We had to sell my children's horses and tensions have run high between my wife and I. Our marriage has been crumbling on the heels of our losses. It was disheartening to say the least when you see a 20 year relationship weaken just at the time when a solid relationship is needed most - hard times.

I had started the Silva Ultramind ESP Home Study course several years ago, but had a hard time doing it on my own. I recently re-ordered the Silva Ultramind ESP Home study course and went through the discs one time. Then I went through again, concentrating hard, working at it. Needless to say my stress levels dropped markedly and almost immediately. Day by day I went to level, sometimes several times a day and my vision cleared. My path seemed to unfold in front of me and I am following it diligently. I have secured a decent job AND started another business, one that not only will help me get back on my feet, but will help others who have been adverely affected by our downtrodden economy. My wife and I are working at patching our relationship and I have convinced her to at least try the Long Relax exercise.

It is a start and that is all that one can ask for.

Mickey Wright, Dallas GA

Thanks to Silva Methods, I've overcome my problems and found a job

I am a Silva Novice. I have Fibromyaglia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hypothyroidism ... many conditions that I came down with while I was pregnant. I had to give up my wonderfully paying job and my husband and I had to live on one income. I was very frustrated but I learned that I was actually given a gift -- the gift of watching my daughter grow up and being deeply involved in her life.

I originally bought the Silva Ultramind System because I was having trouble meditating. I have always had trouble meditating - I often found myself frustrated with the things that were being said during the meditation and I was never able to find my "treasure room." I knew meditation would be good for me so I kept on looking for something -- anything to help me.

I tried a Silva meditation on line and it was the first time I felt better after meditation. I immediately purchased the Silva Ultramind system. I have been doing the 1-2-3 method at least once a week for about six months now. About 4 months ago I had been thinking about how could turn some of the things I do with my daughter into some sort of income. I know I thought about it while I was at level.

One month later, I received a call asking if I would like to become involved in one of these programs as a paid part time employee. While the number of hours is small there is already indication that I will be getting more work soon! I believe that the Silva method left me open to this opportunity and let others know I was open to this opportunity.

Maureen Psaila-Dombrowski, New Mexico

I will tell you now a story how the Silva Method has been a stabilizing force in my life for over 30 years.

I took the course in 1974 in an instructor led program when it was touring through the Boston, Massachusetts area. My life was pretty crazy at the time. I was having trouble finishing college and maintaining a relationship. It was a period where I was having difficulty staying focused on anything through completion.

Well - I took the course. Now equipped with the knowledge of how to focus and direct my inner self, to count down and relax, and the new found ability to quickly get to an optimal mind level when needed, I found I was better equipped to control my desires and
actions to make my life better and better.

I got back into school and graduating from a major Boston area university with honors. I got married, and am still married after 26 years. Shortly after that I changed careers to the computer business, where I have enjoyed a successful career ever since.

And through all of this the Silva Method has kept me in good stead. When I am facing a real challenge or a difficult problem, I get to my level and work through the best solution. On long airplane flights, count down to a relaxation level and program myself to wake up just before arrival, feeling better and better in every way.

I can honestly say that the learning the Silva Method was one of the best investments of time and effort I have ever made.

Thank You!

Fred Federlein, Boston

Silva helped me to be at the right place in the right time and meet the right people

I learned from the Silva Method through a medical doctor who attended several Silva Seminars in 2006. Since March 2007 I am regularly reading the Silva News and applying the Silva Techniques through the
Free Silva UltraMind Online Training Program.

I am surprised how much my life and career changed since then. When regularly applying the basic Silva-techniques (especially lesson 4 Visualization & Affirmation) I realized that I always manage to be at the right place at the right time and meet the right people to perform brilliantly and to become a successful happy person again.

Already after Lesson 8 I decided not to pursue my old reward less and frustrating job, started a new education in natural medicine, recently succeeded the final exams in the top 10% of class.

I realized that I am no more the average performance person but that I can achieve excellent results by controlling my mental states (concentration /relaxation) voluntarily. I am currently establishing my new business with lots of success without advertising. I know that I am attracting the right clients by power of will. I even noticed my positive influence on family members and friends. I am much more positive.

I stopped my bad habit of procrastination and became very motivated and thus turning my life into a joyful rewarding one.

How do you usually start your day? What's your routine like, and does it work for you?

Many people find it difficult to believe that I would run a marathon every three weeks. Add this on top of running Silva International and being a loving wife and mother, its no secret that I need to have an endless supply of energy.

For me, it is important to stick to a certain routine to maintain my health, and to always have energy to be able to give more.

I thought I would share how my day looks like. I hope you will enjoy the video and maybe it will help you in some ways too.

P.S. I am curious to know if you have any health or routine secrets that keep you energized through the day! Let me know in the comments below.

Amazing Video Of My Sister Isabel–Case Working LIVE!

by Laura Silva in Healing and Healing Prayers, Laura Silva, Mind Over Matter, Psychic Abilities, Visualization

Add Comment

It was difficult in the 80's to share any information that would take people out of their comfort zone. Now when acceptability of this information has increased, I am lot more comfortable putting out information which we would otherwise only show in a Live Silva Seminar, as it was easier to make people understand once they were understanding the power of the mind.

My father trained my elder sister to first be a healer and following on, the amazing feats which she was then capable of achieving. I got so many emails and comments about people asking about Isabel, that I was determined to find more information for you. I found an old video and thought I'll share this one with you.

Excuse the bad sound, it's an old video. Isabel and I don't dress like that anymore, neither do we have such hairstyles. So don't make fun of our hairstyles .

I am compiling more things for you, stay tuned on the blog as I send you more videos and material which you can use.

Alpha Anchor for Learning–Retain All Information You Want To

by Laura Silva in Guided Meditation, Improve Memory, Laura Silva, Meditation, Personal Growth, Silva Method

5 Comments

I have created a bunch of MicroCourses, and one of them I find a fairly interesting one and I think you would like it as you will see how effortless it is. It's called The Alpha Anchor--Powerful techniques for Effortless Learning and Information Retention.

It offers information that will enhance your concentration, your ability to learn and your recall ability. This MicroCourse will help you better learn and remember the vast amounts of information that you receive in your everyday life and will help you stay abreast with the competition.

In Alpha Anchor for Learning you will discover that trigger mechanisms can be any number of specific experiences involving any of the physical senses, which activate a conditioned or predictable response such as better concentration during learning, relaxation, or remembering information during a test. You would learn how to empower thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, resources, and feelings.

I believe in these times we all could do with a little more learning. You can share the audios with your friends, kids and other family members, as the exercise is very simple to do and will be helpful for all of them. It is also more fun to have family and friends involved in something amazing that you are experiencing. Isn't it?

Money, Time, Joy, Happiness.. in Abundance

Not Enough--Not Enough, really. The universe is so abundant of everything it makes me wonder when people say they don't have enough.

It has been for years and years that people have been feeling and saying that "they don't have enough money". Are you one of them? If yes, this is my question to you; what is your beliefs about money?

Most Silva students already know this, but I just want to remind everyone that your thoughts and your beliefs, as well as your attitude will govern your reality, which is why I want to share this video with you to remind you of this important fact.

Remember, you deserve to have abundance, whether it is abundance of money, time, joy or happiness, you deserve to have it all.

Forgive and Release Yourself..

by Laura Silva in Finding The Faith, Healing and Healing Prayers, Laura Silva, Personal Growth, Stress Relief

Add Comment

We as humans are extremely emotional beings. We feel and often hold on to emotions, without realizing that some of them are hurting us. Throughout my life, I've come across situations where I've been hurt. It happens to all of us, but the important thing is to rise above the pain, and I've found forgiveness to be key in achieving this.

Forgiveness is a path and a process to mend hearts and to reconcile. The healing energy that emerges from forgiving is strong and can be felt by every part of your body.

Suddenly you feel...

as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders,
your heart feels a lightness,
and your mind isn't bogged down with resentment, fear, and confusion.

Perhaps your heart has been broken or you've been wronged by a friend. Even if they've apologized to you and moved on you're still stuck in the same place and time as when it all went wrong. Forgiveness is necessary for your well-being and future.

By holding grudges we cannot release the negative energies that manifest themselves from the pain and hurt caused by the initial wrongdoing. And if you never release these energies, they will be with you until you finally forgive. They will be felt by those who interact with you, in your daily routine, and ultimately hurt you physically and mentally.

Forgiveness is difficult but if you want to be at peace, it is inevitable.

Positive Thoughts, Positive Outcomes–A Silva Meditation

by Laura Silva in Guided Meditation, Meditation, Personal Growth, Positive Affirmations, Silva Method

1 Comment

GirlBeachXSmall

Our Thoughts Shape Our Reality.

Take a moment and think about the above statement. Ponder over it and you would realize that it is as real as it gets. Our thoughts shape our reality. What if these thoughts were negative? What reality would we have? Would it be ideal for us?

The reason why this phrase is so important is that thought precedes manifestation. Before you can have what you desire, you must think it. You must align yourself in a positive position first and you do this through your thoughts.

You can increase awareness in your thought process now by answering the following questions:

Are your thoughts your own? Or do they belong to your peers, family, and friends?
Is your self-talk supportive of your dreams, goals, and desires?
What are some of the beliefs that run your life?
What images are attached to your most persistent thoughts?

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I want you to listen to this audio I made a while ago that fully brings out your consciousness to the forefront. You will become more aware of how your thoughts are actually affecting your life and manifestations.

I want you to analyze your thought process, how does it affect your personality, and why people can instantly pick up on how you think.

Remember, whatever you focus on will expand in that direction. With this audio, you will be able to direct your attention to what you want and get what you want. I will ask you more questions that will bring out your thought awareness and show you how to refocus your thoughts by changing your speech patterns, choice of words, and visualization.
