My name is Laura Silva Quesada, and I'm the President of Silva International. After my father Jose Silva passed in 1999, I've dedicated my life to spreading his teachings across the world. If you want to learn more about the Silva Method and what it can do to change your life for the better, feel free to browse through my blog. You'll find plenty of valuable information on the fields we specialize in, from meditation to intuition to healing. Enjoy, and may the rest of your life be the best of your life :).
Your 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.

PS: If you want to experience a GREAT tribe effect, one that will help you master life, won't ever shoot you down, and want only the best for you, join the Silva Tribe.
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."

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