Put The Glass Down
by Ken Coscia
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management. He raised his glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”
The students’ answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.
“It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for and hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier is becomes.”
“If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.”
“What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Leave it there. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders let it down for a moment, if you can. Enjoy an Alpha break and regain access to the flow of creative solutions.
Pick it up again later when you have rested… Or Better yet, You may make the time to RENEW Yourself and Deepen Your Understanding and ability to apply Silva in your Life, by attending a Silva Method Program.
We live in a time of extraordinary opportunities and significant challenges, but are we truly experiencing the quality of life we desire? We know that whatever we focus on, we will achieve. The challenge so many of us face, though is in finding balance. Practicing Silva helps you to remain focused on what you really want.
Even the greatest Achievers acknowledge a gap between where they are and where they want to be. Perhaps our businesses or careers are strong, but our intimate relationships are lacking. Or maybe our relationships are flourishing, but our personal finances or physical vitality is suffering. We all have areas of our lives that demand more focus.
Participating in a Silva Method Program is like peeling layers of an onion. There is a continuous unfolding and integration of our unique potential. Each time you practice or review (it’s free), it makes more sense and gets progressively easier. You become more aware of and develop more applications. Your Focus is enhanced. You review not for the information, but for the transformation (physically, mentally, & spiritually) that the training affords you.
All Causation is Mental
The first principle is this. All causation is mental. All causation is mental. That means that everything that you are or ever will be will be as a result of how you use your mind. You are merely a mind with a body to carry it around with. The entire man made world that you see is simply an expression of thought. Your entire life is an expression of your own thinking. And since the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life, if you improve the quality of your thinking, you must, you will, inevitably improve the quality of your life.
You learn to do this with Mental HouseCleaning and Mirror of the Mind!
The Law of Expectations
The second principle is what we call the law of expectations. This law says that whatever you expect with confidence, positive or negative,
becomes your reality. If you confidently expect to succeed, if you confidently expect to learn something from every experience, if you confidently expect to become wealthy as a result of applying your talents and abilities to your opportunities and you maintain that attitude of confident expectations long enough, it will become your reality. It will give you a positive optimistic cheerful attitude that will cause people to want to help you, and will cause things to happen the way you want them to happen.
During what we call Caseworking (intuitive experiences in class) you will enhance the power of Belief and expectancy!
You are invited to put some of your burdens to rest, enhance your focus, and dramatically energize the Power of Belief & Expectancy by participating in a Silva Method 2 Day Seminar.
