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 :).
We've been hard at work putting these video's together. After spending a few days with Laura Silva Quesada, we are finally able to unveil the most anticipated online video series to 212,000 members (and growing!) of our Silva Community.
In this 1st video, Laura Silva Quesada recaps how she asked our community to answer a survey on how Silva practitioners are maintaining their practice of the Silva Method. We recieved 1,192 excellent comments and questions that Laura will be addressing.
Part 1: Introduction & The Importance of Meeting Other Silva Graduates
Here are the first comments that she'll be talking about:
"Helping to put Silva graduates in touch with each other could be very helpful. Few of the graduates would probably love the opportunity to network with each other"
"I have always had a problem with staying motivated. I'm laughing as I type this, but I would like to be able to do something once and have permanent results. Of course this is not possible! Maybe meeting with other Silva graduates in my area would be a great motivator."
"I first got interested in Jose Silva and the Mind Control Method in 1966. I met Jose in the early 80's in Seattle and took a workshop. I even considered being a Silva instructor at one time. How can the Silva Method organization make sure I have the self disipline to work-out, eat right, meditate, and be an overall good citizen of Earth. It does make sense for you to provide an environment with forums, blog-assistance, and tele-seminars where motivated people can gather to stay motivated."

Part 2: How Do I Find The Time To Meditate?
Laura discusses how you can manage your time as well as the optimal amount of time required to achieve results in the Silva Method. Watch this video to get an understanding of how simple it is, really, to practice meditation.
She answers the following:
"I am finding it difficult to keep practicing going to level. I either forget to practice or will not get time to do it. Can you please suggest a way to program my mind so that I will practice going to the level everyday?"
"I'd like to be able to improve my time management, especially if you are a full-time wife, mom, and teacher. Time is precious too. How can we allocate time for ourselves?"
Watch the video here:
Part 3: Getting The Right Guidance
In this response to a humourous comment, Laura addresses how you can get the most intimate kind of guidance for the Silva Method.
"Honestly I don't know. You've given us the tools. It's really up to us to use them. You can't come over to our houses and make us go to Level every day can you?"
Watch the video here:
Part 4: How Important is Caseworking?
Many comments from the Silva Community talks about the limited resources available to practice a very important part of the Silva Method, caseworking.
"In the two day class we get an hour or two hours to practice remotely finding abnormalities and healing. But after that class I never tried it. Is there any chance you will be able to set up small communities in cities where people trained in silva meet up and practive once in a week or two weeks just like how toastmasters is conducted once in a week in many places."

I have been knowing about meditation for 40 years. I learned from writings on yoga meditation books and started praticing it at the age of 16. The Silva relaxation recording I received free of charge a year ago helps me relax faster. I would like to purchase Silva products in the future, but I am unable to do so now.
Please, keep me in your mailing list, if possible, otherwise I will access you online in the future, when able to purchase.
Thanks for the free recording and lessons: they helped revamp my interest in meditation practices.
It is with great pleasure, but with a little delay, that I got inspiration to write about what I have achieved through Silva`s method. At first I got “vitiligo” that is a skin disease where it becomes depigmented with white patches. I went to a Doctor that told me that among several possible causes there were one psychological one that triggered my brain to penalize me because I wasn’t able to preview what was to happened with my family. It was like I asked to be penalized and my brain obeyed me. I asked him, if that is the case, how do I contact my brain or my inner ego or else? Question that he didn’t have an answer. I tried several ways to speak in such a way that I could to this superior entity that I carry with me. I took a course on parapsychology, read about brain, and other miscellaneous related books and psychology courses. This time was February 1981, six months after I got my PhD. What a premium or what a disaster for my new career as a Faculty member of a Federal University in Brazil. Finally, in July 1983 I was taken to attend a course entitled “Mind Control” or “Dynamic Meditation”. I was surprised that a couple of days before I finished the training week in PSI Operation, I was sure that there was the way, shinning in front of me to communicate with my superior mind and straight things up. Sometimes later I was without the white patches and it never came back again, so God help me.
I repeat the basic course twice, the intermediate and advanced once each. I was leader of a group of graduates, which meet every week, for a couple of years and them we dismissed for some reasons but I continue to do meditation once a while. I moved and lost contact with group members and also with the association.
Nowadays, with internet I tried and found the Silva’s Organization again and last year I purchased the Silva UltraMind method. At this moment I am stuck with a question about what is new or what is the difference between UltraMind and Silva Live systems?
I have other achievements with Silva’s Method like stopping and encapsulate a breast cancer from my wife, and others.
Hi Laura, my apologies for not being able to write sooner. My work has almost taken over my entire day and sometimes goes way into the late night hours. Recently I've experienced a stressful event in my life and, since then, I have found it very difficult to stay focused enough to reach alpha level... and the very few times I do reach the alpha level, I find it very difficult to stay focused with out program or thought. Please tell me how I can wrestle with my mind to stay in-line during these very trying times.
I have never meditated until I read a book about the Silva Method this Christmas. It has brought important changes into my life:
I am in the middle of a cancer treatment and meditation has helped me
- keep positive focus
- Visualize quick recovery
- Going to the alpha level, talking to my bodl/ cells to make it co-operate when i was i chemotheraphy
- Use music in my visualization and meditation
After reading the book I ordered the Home Study Program from you. It has been very interesting and has learned me many useful techniques.
I have never attended a seminar - but the Silva method still works for me! My doctor is now amazed that I am cancer free in just 3 months. A big tumor has just vanished from my stomach! Like magic - people say!
I have used meditation and visualization 2 - 3 times a day for 3 months. I also used music in my visualization. Every time I played the music, "In The Hall of the Mountain King " from Edvard Grieg "Peer Gynt", along with my visualization, tears started streaming from my eyes. Afterwards I was exhausted for a while.
I live in Norway - but I have ordered the home study course from you. I have enjoyed the home study program very much.
I have talked a lot to my friends about the Silva Method - and one of my friends went to a seminar in Oslo in march. Several of my friends have bought books about the method and are thinking about going to a seminar.
I would very much like more online places which can enable people from all over the world to "meet" and share experiences from the Silva Life. We can guide each other and encourage each other.
In this difficult time of my life - I don`t know what I would have done without the Silva Method. Thank you for sharing it with me through the Home Study Program, books and the News letters.
Love from Trine O Furu
I used to meditate regularly, and I can go into alpha state almost instantly, but I hardly able to reach theta state. Can you give me give a guidance? Thanks.
I thank you very much for your method that it is starting to help me and I hope Iwill soon have more time to dedicate to learn it well. I also thank you for your dedication to try to improve the world. I like writing poetry and send you one of my little poems that I wrote a very long time ago.
I have an anguish in my heart
That fills some times my eyes with bitter tears
To see and feel that we, the humankind
Have so much power to inflict pain or to give love
And notwithstanding;
There is that question that prevails for ever,
Why is it there so much sorrow and so much fear
Spreaded around in our living world?
It is very comforting to find people like you. Thank you again very much.
hi laura!
your feedback project is absolutely fantastic. many queries help us to connect with each other many of our answers are found in this feedbackitself. great job u r doing out there. would like to help anyway i can.
Dear Lara Thank you very much for your videos. I have been using the Silva programs since the middle seventies and had some wondrful success at the time. However the mistake İ made was in stopping and İ regreted it. Now I am very to listen to you on these videos and hear first hand information how things can work better for me.
So I am going to heed your advice and do what you suggest in these videos. Thank you very much this is a wonderful idea, see,as İ do not have anyone where İ am that İ can consult or just sit down and have a chat about these subjects. So these are a great comfort top me , and to my progress. Thank you once again

Hi Laura and all at Silva MInd group,
I know it may be a little late, I just want to say how much the Silva Mind Tech has assisted both my partner and I in making such major changes in our life and to take responsibility in all areas of our lives for what we create.
My mother gave us a the Silva Mind Program 2 years ago now. We both effortlessly stopped smoking (I mean effortlessly). We both began getting up at 5am each morning (sometimes earlier) to make the time for these techniques.
I personally have changed my career path entirely. I am now a NLP Master Practitioner and am about to become a trainer. I also intend in the near future to study the Silva Mind Tech to teach it as I feel it is so valuable to incorporate this daily practice in life.
When friends or clients ask how I made such major changes in my life, I honestly can say that it all began when I started using the Silva Mind Technique each day. I was able to clearly define what I wanted my purpose in life to be, and then how to obtain the results I was desiring. Life really changed for the better.
I am so thrilled to see the direction your company is now taking, you have such a valuable message and tools to be shared with all beings on this beautiful planet.
Have a magnificent day.

I fill better & better while I listen the videos attached by you in this website.I attended the Silva BLS course in year 2003 from Silva lecturer Mahi Kazi in Banglesh.Since then, I am doing meditation almost in a regular basis.But now, there is no Silva method course training available in Bangladesh.So , Silva home training course would be useful in Banglash .But from Bangladesh nothing can be purchased online from Bangladesh due govt. restriction & lack of govt. approved documentation.It would be great help for me , if get home study course download permisssion through internet for free.
Again thanking yu ,

Hello Laura,
I am simply amazed at the way you take efforts to explain and clear out all the doubts of the Silva Method practitioners. The Video conference is excellent.

Hello Laura,I took my first Silva course at Toronto,Canada, in 1982,I later purchased the tape set from Nightingale Conant. In 2006 I purchased the Ultra home study course. I have loved them all and derived much benefit from them.My question is,what is the difference with your new program,is there enough to justify buying it ??
Your videos are wonderful,what a great medium for you to communicate with us.
Sincere regards,
F Mildon
Hello Laura,I took my first course at Toronyo ,Canada, in 1982 and later purchased the tape course from Nightingale Conant. In 2006 I invested in the Ultra home study course. I have derived great benefit from all of them. My question now is,is there enough difference in your new program to justify the purchase ??
Your videos are wonderful,what a great medium for you to communicate with us.
Sincere regards,
Fred Mildon.

When I completed the Silva Training program, we were given access to case studies. I felt that was the best tool I had ever received to help me advance my intuitive skills and use my healing abilities. I am soooo happy to hear that you are developing a new case study program. This is going to be so wonderful! You can count on me being an active member. Thank you! JoAnn Gonzales
Laura,
It is refreshing to see you take an interest in the work of your father and give it new life. Many of the mind technologies had begun to surpass the Silva teachings, with the net result (at least for me) being that while I enjoyed the course, I was essentially reviewing what I had learned in the beginning steps of my journey toward understanding the power of the mind and how to use it. Laura, you present yourself well and it is obvious you have an interest in and an understanding of the techniques. I hope you continue to expand on and enhance the wonderful knowledge left by Jose Silva to include the newest insights and methodologies. There is much benefit to be gained by each of us personally and by the world at large. I have more life-altering stories than I can begin to share here. What I can reaffirm is that learning about the mind and developing it to its fullest potential is not an event, it is a process. The resources you are working to make available to your students will help keep them engaged in the process, and that is one of the greatest gifts you can offer them. I wish you and your students all the best, Mitzi Crall.
I have attended the seminar in 2006 in Calgary. I had a good experience with the remote viewing. But after the seminar i can't remote view. Can i get some help with that. And i also didn't do very well in case study. How to do the hands on and how to look for the problem in a person? I will really appreciate your help. I try to meditate everyday and i prefer doing theta. Overall i really enjoyed the seminar. Thank you for the videos they are excellent. Once again thank you, thank you and thank you for everything u doing...
I am really enjoying the 3 2 1 technique.
It seems a relaxation method but I feel it's much more. Like fuel to make
my good qualities express. I feel more at ease in my daily life. I face it more
relaxed and at the same time more positive and confident and more active.
The feeling is that it can lead me to a beautiful extent wich I don't know where it is because every day is better and better.
Very good!!
Thank You Silva people!!
Your spirit and will to expand and develop what the Silva has to offer, is sure to bear tremendous fruits!
There are many popular gurus in the "Self-transformation" industry - but not many have the qualities of great warmth, humility and an obvious heartfelt desire to truly help people that clearly emanates from you in those videos.
I would like to share with you a powerful insight that a good friend of mine, Jacob Solomon, formerly of the U.K., once shared with me as one educator to another.
He said that even though there are many branches of knowledge that each have their respective practical applications, when a master educator teaches a subject, regardless as to what the topic is, he or she is, in essence giving over something over and beyond the subject-matter: she is conveying her actual soul to her students. In such cases the topic becomes a vehicle for that "higher level of teaching" that is taking place - and, as a matter of course, the explicit subject matter comes across optimally.
I clearly pick up that quality of teaching coming across from you in the videos – you are truly inspiring and may I strongly encourage you in going ahead with this wonderful project!
Consistent follow up is highly important for those learning and developing in your methods - and this could be greatly enhanced by a well organized, personalized support system to help your students.
One aspect could involve mentorship/coaching in some form from your staff and another could entail a kind of "buddy" system between your students: you could introduce your students to each other from your list and match them, so that they could work, even across the globe, via Skype or Yahoo Messenger on a biweekly basis or however frequently they would like.
I wish you tremendous ongoing success in you wonderful work.
Thank you and Bless you!

Hi My Name is Dorothy Strain, I live in Durango CO. I did a Silva Seminar week end, in Durango in the 1970s I still use much of what I learned. I took the free Silva class on the net to refresh m;y mind. I have much respect for the Silva Method. I have come a long way since the first Silva seminar. I have stayed on a spiritual path and have used much of the Silva method.
Case studies, Yes!!! I have a few cases I'm eager to have people work on. I've been working on them. Need help. On them and what I need to do to be more effective. Let's get our minds together. Nice someone (Laura and co.) is willing to organize this.
Laura, thank you for the videos. I purchased the Home study course last year and have not made the progress I had hoped, due to some health issues. . But with the videos I think I can do a lot more. I am 70 and have severe nerve pain that radiates from my neck down my arm. While I am at level I have no pain. I look forward to successfully heal my pain and gaining the skill necessary to heal others. It is my hope to be able to make a real difference in this world with the time I have left. I think the videos will be very helpful.
Great the videos, thank you, wishing to receive more videos.
Thank you,
Shirin.
Inspiring indeed! Is it also possible to translate into the dutch language?

Dear Jill/Laura
Through a friend I knew that the Silva Mind could help me with migraine headaches. I attended the basic seminar for two weekends, then I came again and again, I was so enthusiastic that the Instructor Dallila invited me to participate in the advanced seminar with another Instructor Jose Dias (I think). Then I went on to Greece to attend an Ultimate Seminar with Jose Silva and other Instructors, it was great and my enthusiasm went even further and I went to Laredo with some friends, Graciosa and Joaquim to attend the Instructors Seminar with Jose Silva, Rosa, Omar and other interesting people, it was an experience, I was privileged to meet Laura and the rest of Jose's family, Silva is a family for all of us, I felt so at ease and proud to belong to that family, but Silva does change lives and believe you me every Crisis is a change, but always for the better, my life has changed so much, that I barely had time to pursue my Instructor's career, but nevertheless I do my Silva Mind everyday, it is in me like a prayer. You know if it was not from your survey I wouldn't remember anymore the reason I went to Silva Mind.That terrible headache is so far away that I feel it didn't belong to me, it was the motivation to attend such a teaching. Silva is something so valuable that was worth to suffer headache just to attain that knowledge. Thank you all of you. Thank you so much.
This happened about 20 years ago and I am to semi-retire now, time for a change again, so with the seminar I am receiving from Laura I very much feel in my heart that I can finally help others by being an Instructor. Thank you.
I was in an accident recently and some pretty weird things have started to happen. I have gotten to where I can sense things. I can be sitting and working on my computer and words will come to me to research. That is how I ultimately found you. One of the videos about case working really hit home with me. This evening, as I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, I noticed that my aura was an intense green in color. I have never been able to see my own aura before so this was really a neat thing for me. Anyway, I researched online and found that the green aura Is a quality of someone with natural healing abilities. I have always been open and have been able to see things that others cannot, but now it is much more intense than I ever could have imagined. After I return to work, I would sincerely love to learn the Silva Life System as I believe that I could hone my skills and help more people with their hardships learn how to get past them, and live life to the fullest.
Keep up the Great Work!
Russell
I love my Lord Heavenly father and Jesus christ,
Even though life is difficult I Thank the lord so much for my life. I know and feel the love of the lord when I am most in need and open to his love. I just want to live a good and fruitful life. I want to take care of myself so that I could help others and accomplish what it is the lord has in mind for me. I hope this method will help me to above all else put god our heavenly father first by loving him with all of my mind, heart, and soul, then love my neighbor as I love myself. I want to know how this method enhances ones ability to love. and connects us to the love of jesus christ our saviour.
There are many cases out there where people testify to the power of jesus christ. they have had near death experiences and literally been pulled out of hell and embraced by the love of jesus christ and healed. they have come back to life as we know it with a changed heart and a huge will to spread the message of love and jesus christ.
I guess I would like to know if there are any silva method users out there who are followers and believers of Jesus Christ, and if it has helped to strengthen the relationship that you have with him and others.
Thank you
Marina
