2008 has been a wonderful year, and I must say I'm deeply grateful for everything I've experienced in it and all I've learned. I hope it has been a great year for you too and that 2009 will even be more wonderful.

As some of you may know, I've done a good amount of traveling this year to conduct seminars, and I'd like to share some pictures of them with you. I hope you enjoy them.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

That's me in the middle with all the participants who came for the seminar I held in Malaysia.

Meet the most handsome astronaut of all - Malaysia's own and Silva Graduate, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al-Masrie.

Dhaka, Bangladesh

Here's our new Bangladesh Director, Sayeed, yours truly and Rowshan.

With friends, and seminar attendees at Bangladesh.

And yes, that's me in a Sari!

It took quite a while to put it on, but it was worth the effort for sure.

I had a great hospitable time both in Bangladesh and Malaysia. Thank you to all those who came, attended the seminars and made them a success. And thank you for all your love and kind gestures.

Have a beautiful 2009, everyone!

Sharing.
Inspiration.
Love.
Thoughtfulness.
Respect.

and most of all...

Peace on Earth for Everyone.

And it's with these powerful ideas, that I'd like to present to you Laura's special Christmas message to everyone on behalf of all of us from Silva International.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! May this season of love be BETTER AND BETTER!

In this video Laura passionately shares some very insightful views on how it's very important for parents to teach their children to be in charge of their own living experience.

She makes a compelling argument for how children can leverage mind tools to become more intuitive and to make better decisions.

Accordingly to Laura this is very important. She articulates this point and challenges the misconception that children have no problems.

"They have huge problems, they have bullies at school, they have peer pressure to take drugs, to have sex..."

Watch the entire video. The best thing is that the core of what Laura is saying applies to everyone and not just children.

It's wonderful to see how Silva's teachings are impacting the lives of youngsters and teenagers. The video below featuring Sami is one such case.

Sami was introduced to The Silva Method when he was only 16 and today at the age of 18 he's still benefiting from it.
