Who’s In Your Tribe? The Tribal Effect And How It Affects Your Personal Growth

Finger starYour tribe consists of the people you are closest to. They are the very people you come in contact with every single day. They are your family members, your lover, your colleagues, your neighbors...

Your tribe has powerful influence on you. They provide the type of environment that determines how your future self would be.

Now, is your  current tribe supporting you the way you need to feel supported especially when it comes to the improvements you want in your life?

If they are, then you are fortunate to experience the good tribal effect of positive encouragements, optimism, support and great advice. This type of tribe will allow you to grow, inspire you, push you to achieve your fullest potential because they believe in you and be there for you whenever you need the extra support.

Unfortunately, many people are stuck in the negative tribal effect. This happens when their spouse or closest friends are not supportive or interested in the changes that are going on in their lives. Are you one of them? Are you stuck in a tribe that holds you back, unconsciously?

Are you one of those who once wanted to make a change or embrace a new habit like being healthier, starting meditation, or joining a spiritual course, only to be shot down by the people in your tribe?

Try this test on your tribe: Bring up the subject of meditation or spiritual enlightenment to your closest friends. Watch that they say.

Do they encourage you? Do they feign interest in the subject? Or do they tell you outright that you are wasting your time?

Share your results with us. Or share with us the struggles you have experienced with your current tribe.

Making it Even More Whiz Bang Awesome

Picture 2

I'm thinking about an autumn intake for Silva Master's Circle, and since you guys are currently going through this program, so no one's opinion is as valuable as yours.

So the big question:

How are you finding the program and what new ideas can we add to make this even better for you and the next intake of students?

For example:

  • Tell me, what would you change, enhance or add ?
  • Are the weekend exercises valuable to you?
  • How do you like the discussions and communities?
  • Did it help you improve your meditation,healing,and intuitive abilities?
  • How would you improve the Silva Facebook group?

I'd love to know what you think about this program and what ideas you'd have to improve it further.

Let the ideas flow in the comments below :)

BTW we're also looking to have some of you more experienced Silva folks join in the community for the new intake and maybe share some of your wisdom and experiences with the new intake.

PS. I'm adding the screenshot of one of the days here. By referring to this image, you can even tell me how we can improve the layout... would you change anything? Click on the image to see full size.

Why Does Fear Always Kick In Just When We Are About To Embrace Change?

Often, we make up excuses for our shortcomings and we blame it on our upbringing. But there is a better reason than finger pointing - it's our ego talking.

Jeffrey Hull, author of the book, Shift: Let Go of Fear and Get Your Life in Gear, explains how and why our egos fight with our need for improvement.

Any thoughts? Please leave a comment...

Are We Hard-Wired To Suffer?

by Jeffrey Hull, Ph.D.

Yesterday I had one of those classic moments with a client that never fail to bring the conversation to a stand still. He was sharing with me his tendency to, as he put it, "always feel anxious and worried about everything." At one point, with a shrug, he simply declared, "I'm just hard-wired to be anxious. I've always been this way."

Really? Hard-wired to be anxious, worried and stressed-out? Not.

Have you looked at a baby lately? Or hung out with small children who are living in a secure home with at least one loving parent? In general, well-fed kids (poverty is another thing entirely) are relaxed, spontaneous, playful and full of life a good deal of the time. Since when did it become in vogue to blame our adult anxieties on so-called "hard-wiring?" What does "hard-wiring" mean anyway?

Shedding Light On Your Life Purpose

Why is it so important that you find your life purpose?

Have you found yours?

And are you taking the right steps to fulfill it?

These could be the most important questions you ever ask yourself…

And you'll find the answers in this brand new video I made with my good friend and veteran Silva Instructor Mandy Bass:

I'd love to know what you think!

So after watching the video, leave a note in the comments section and tell me:

What do you think your life purpose is?

Have a GREAT weekend!

The Superhero Effect – The Undercover Phenomenon

Have you ever referred to "successful" or "famous" people as 'them'? and consider yourself 'us'? Are you separating yourself from the Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey's and Mother Theresa's of this world because you think they have some sort of "super talent" you don't?

Possibly its not just talent, but maybe they have some sort of luck, were in the right place at the right time, or maybe they belong to the 'chosen few'? People can't help which family trust fund they were born into.

But here's where it gets confusing.

Oprah has the same amount of time in a day you do, Bill has the exact same amount of brain matter you do, and your heart is just as big as Mother Theresa's.

Putting Bill, Oprah and Theresa aside, what about those everyday people who just seem to make things happen - magically? The people who can eat whatever they want and never gain weight?  What about your neighbor Ted, who makes your annual income in 4 months without any sort of college education? Your sister-in-law's children who seem to grow happier, healthier and smarter everyday - all while being extremely well behaved? What are their secrets?

Maybe there is a  big misconception about 'Superheros' and 'super powers', and I'm talking about powers like cunning wit, flowing charisma, or innate creativity as opposed to flying or invisibility.

Were only a select people were blessed with these powers at birth - just like we read in comics and see in the movies? Or is there something else at play here?

We've decided to investigate the Superhero Phenomenon,  we've uncovered whats really going on here in this Silva exclusive expose below:

The Secret Visitor technique, for changing your mood INSTANTLY.

By: Mandy Bass

Medical researchThis technique was actually invented by the daughter of a Silva instructor.

She was having nightmares, and was crying out loud after she’d woken up.  Her mother went into the room to see her, and the daughter was sitting on the bed and smiling. She explained to her mother that she had a nightmare, and was scared, so she closed her eyes and imagined taking the scared brain out of her head, and replacing it with a happy brain.

Her mother remembered this process some time later when she was having a very sad day.  So she invited into her laboratory the HAPPIEST person on earth.

When the elevator door in her lab opened, there was a happy-looking guy standing there. (The happiest person on the planet!) So she invited him into her lab, imagined putting on his head over hers and noticed how THIS ALONE made a big shift in her awareness and her mood.

So how can YOU use this?

The Summer Of Silva – One Month Down, Three More Amazing Months To Go!

Rainbow woman

It's been an AMAZING first month with the Summer of Silva  and guess what? We've got 3 more months to go!

I just wanted to take this time to acknowledge the 1000+ of you who are taking part in this transformational journey. I couldn't have done this without your collective participation!

There have been so many wonderful comments pouring in every day, I get a real kick out of reading them each morning :)

Here are some of my favorite comments on the Silva Master's Circle:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of years ago I hoped to meet a bunch of great people, with greater minds who would come together on a daily basis and learn to achieve the ultimate goal. Now that my wish has come true -in a different kind of way- I’d like to say to everyone here participating and to those who have made this happen: thank you! - Gabielden

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am ever so grateful to have the tools, knowledge, inspiration and ambition I need to develop into a highly effective human being.
The energy in this circle is awesome! It is such a privilege to grow together.
- Jacytaytor

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having the feeling of gratitude is a great way to start off the day. It moves me to go through the day with a positive feeling for what I have in my life and an optimism for what's to come. I already had to use the "cancel-cancel" phrase today. :o )
I am very excited about this summer and look forward to learning more and more and getting better and better and better. :o ) LIFE IS GREAT!!
- Marissa

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm happy I followed my intuition and signed up for this summertime event. Like a previous comment I read above, I, too, feel everyone's presence and commitment to realizing our possibilities. The mindful meditations are opening me to the flow. Thank you for the tools. You have a wonderful voice to listen to, Laura. As a clairaudient, that makes all the difference in the world to me. - CibMarie

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I would like to congratulate everyone in the Silva Master's Circle, and especially all those commenting in the daily forums! I love your feedback! Thank you!
