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.
