Throughout my life, I've come across situations where I've been hurt. It happens to all of us, but the important thing is to rise above the pain, and I've found forgiveness to be key in achieving this.

Forgiveness is a path and a process to mend hearts and to reconcile. The healing energy that emerges from forgiving is strong and can be felt by every part of your body.

Suddenly you feel...

• as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders,
• your heart feels a lightness,
• and your mind isn't bogged down with resentment, fear, and confusion.

Perhaps your heart has been broken or you've been wronged by a friend. Even if they've apologized to you and moved on you're still stuck in the same place and time as when it all went wrong. Forgiveness is necessary for your well-being and future.

By holding grudges we cannot release the negative energies that manifest themselves from the pain and hurt caused by the initial wrongdoing.  And if you never release these energies, they will be with you until you finally forgive. They will be felt by those who interact with you, in your daily routine, and ultimately hurt you physically and mentally.

Forgiveness is difficult but if you want to be at peace, it is inevitable.

I've thought long and hard about forgiveness and have come up with a report that means a lot to me. I delve deeper into the issues we face when are wronged and have come up with two meditations that will help you to forgive and be forgiven.

If you have experienced pain at the hands of someone else or have wronged someone else, try these meditations and I want you to answer these questions.  You can find them in the full report below.  Please share your thoughts with us by posting a comment.

• Did these meditations help you find closure?
• Did you forgive and forget or did you reconcile with your offender?
• What type of energy do you experience when you forgive someone or are forgiven?

When I wake up and find that I've received all these mails and emails, it just energizes me and gets me going for the day, to go in with more power and energy and to do more to ensure that the rest of your life is the best of your life.

I was going through my page on Facebook today and found these amazing comments by you lovely people.

My daughter, Saralee, recently graduated and I could not be prouder. But her education doesn't stop there and it won't stop when she graduates from Law school either.

Learning is what keeps us alive.  It holds us back from stagnation, fear, confusion, and lets us continue to grow and make the world a better place.

Without it, we might as well be stuck in the dark ages.

Do you remember how hard studying was?  The late nights, the cramming, the 5 cups of coffee.

For the past couple weeks, I've been introducing you to the Silva Alpha-Anchor Program.  This is a simple auditory course that seeks to help you learn and retain information easier and with less effort.

For those of you who missed the past two posts about this program, let me recap for you because I really do think that this course could benefit your life and those you care about.  There are 3 tracks to this course and you can listen to it whenever you want.  You will learn about your triggers, which can turn on an already preconditioned response, such as better concentration during learning, meditation, or retaining information.

This week, I'm releasing the last and 3rd part of the course.  Because it is important, I've included the first two tracks as well so you can get started on a path of effortless enlightenment, learning, and concentration.

If you have young children going into high school or college, I highly recommend this course.

DOWNLOAD HERE THE PART 1

This is the introductory track that explains how the course works and how we will find and set up your trigger mechanisms.  Learn how to recondition your negative thinking and turn it into positive learning.

DOWNLOAD HERE THE PART 2

Discover whether you're a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner.  The best and most efficient studying is when you can engage all three types of learning.  I will also give you techniques that will enhance your studying.

DOWNLOAD HERE THE PART 3

I'll start this track with a meditative exercise that will finally impress the Alpha-Anchor for learning.  You will then know how to use the Alpha-Anchor for memory recollection.

If you found this course useful, please share it with friends and let me know how it's worked for you.

The other day I received one of the most moving, heartfelt emails from a follower of the Silva Method.

I would first like to express my immense gratitude for Beata for sharing this story and donation with us.  Because of people like her I really feel that my purpose in life is not superficial but is filled with meaning, love, and compassion.

Here is Beata's email:

I understand where you are coming from and that you do not need my Tithe, but Tithing is not charity there is a big difference, I donate enough to charity. When I Tithe it is a spiritual payback, if you will, for my spiritual growth and thanking the Universe for this wisdom which has been granted on to me. At this moment in my life the Silva Method is providing me much spiritual wisdom and I can only Tithe where I receive spiritual growth, so if you do not mind I insist on giving the Silva Institute my Tithe.

I could hardly keep a dry eye as I watched Susan Boyle sing and I'm sure many of you will feel the same way.  The immense light and power that came from this woman was enough to knock everybody in the crowd out.

Susan is a contestant on Britain's Got Talent, a talent search similar to American Idol.  There's Simon Cowell as a judge and you just expect him to make the meanest comments, especially in the case of Susan Boyle.

But this video (if you haven't already seen it) is of a woman, who against all odds defied everyone's preconceived notion of her.

The message here is strong.  Don't give up on your dreams and no matter what anyone says, you have the ability to outshine and wow everyone.

When times are tough, I like to revisit these inspirational stories.  They mean a lot to me and I want to share this one with you.

Please click on the screen shot to view the video.

Please let me know what you think of the video.

The past few days have been really exciting. Saralee just completed her graduation and received her diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Management. I am so proud of her.  She looked amazing in her graduation robe.  It's hard to believe how fast they grow up.

Now, she will be pursuing a law degree in Hospitality Law.  I am so grateful she's found a path for herself and is on her way to achieving all her dreams.

We also had a great time at Easter.  We met as family and had a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures for you.

It's no wonder that water has healing properties.  75% of our bodies are after all composed of water.

There has been some interesting research done by Dr. Masuru Emoto, which was conducted on crystals of frozen water.  The results are rather shocking.  As it turns out, thought, sound, words, and prayer have an effect on the water itself.

Using a device called a Magnetic Resonance Analyzer (MRA), Dr. Emoto found that each substance has its own magnetic resonance field.  Now, how does this apply to us?  Well, remember how humans are made primarily of water.  Knowing that each substance has its own magnetic resonance field may be the key to making fresh discoveries about the human body and even understanding illness and disease.

This research exemplifies the power of positive and negative thinking.  If thoughts and words have an effect on water crystals, imagine the effect that would be carried onto us.

Have a look at this Silva Report on Dr. Emoto's discoveries.  The research is ground breaking and is directly applicable to your lives.

This week I will be continuing with the Alpha Anchor - Powerful Techniques For Effortless Learning & Information Retention.  In case you missed last week's post, the Alpha Anchor course enhances your concentration, your ability to learn and your recall ability.

What's amazing about the course is that is a series of audio tracks you can download and listen to wherever you go and even while you're asleep.  Feel free to share them with friends and family and it's a great learning tool for young children as well.

This week, I will be releasing the following second track in the program.

And as always, please let me know how the Alpha Anchor course is working out for you.

I was going through some of the MicroCourses that I have developed and I found a fairly interesting one, which I thought would be great to share. It's called The Alpha Anchor--Powerful Techniques For Effortless Learning & Information Retention. It offers information that will enhance your concentration, your ability to learn and your recall ability. This MicroCourse will help you better learn and remember the vast amounts of information that you receive in your everyday life and will help you stay abreast with the competition.

In Alpha Anchor for Learning you will discover that trigger mechanisms can be any number of specific experiences involving any of the physical senses, which activate a conditioned or predictable response such as better concentration during learning, relaxation, or remembering information during a test. You would learn how to empower thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, resources, and feelings.

This course comes in handy, as you would be able to download the audios and listen to it while walking, sleeping or any other time you desire. I shall release the course over the next two weeks.  The introductory audio is below.

I believe in these times we all could do with a little more learning. You can share the audios with your friends, kids and other family members, as the exercise is very simple to do and will be helpful for all of them. It is also more fun to have family and friends involved in something amazing that you are experiencing. Isn't it?

Here is the Introductory Audio:

The Other day one of my friends forwarded me a link.  The email read "this is what we all need" and I wondered what could it be. It was a link to a video of this guy called Nick Vujicic. Nick has no arms and legs. It started with "Oh" and ended with "Wow". We need the spirit that Nick carries with him.  Below is the video of a truly inspiring man that gave me goose bumps.  Nick ends with a simple, yet poignant question: Are You Going to Finish Strong?

So what do you think? Is there any question in a your mind that you will, indeed, finish strong? Is there an ounce of doubt that is stopping you? I say let go, let go that thought, let go that mindset. You will not only finish strong, but you will, for sure, live every experience strong.
