Hi friends,

Health is wealth, as we’re all aware. We only have one healthy body to live with for the rest of our time on this earth, so it goes with­out say­ing that our health should be a pri­or­ity. Think about it, how are we to live the com­plete break­through life with­out the pres­ence of our health?

But health doesn’t only mean a healthy body. It also means a healthy mind, spirit and heart.

The World Health Orga­ni­za­tion once stated, “Health is a state of com­plete phys­i­cal, men­tal and social well-being, and not merely the absence of dis­ease or infirmity.”

And I totally agree. Most of the time, the only thing that’s keep­ing us away from per­fect health is the per­fect excuse. Don’t you think?

The arti­cle below cap­tured this so com­pletely. Have there ever been a time when you thought “Oh, I can’t do this, I don’t have the money,” or “I can’t do that, I just don’t have the time,” and when you see some­one else just pos­i­tively glow­ing with health, you think “Yeah she can do that because she is rich and have ample of time on her hands!”

This may sound a lit­tle bit harsh, but it is all just excuses. You do not need to spend a dime more to choose a salad over fries or for a nice walk in the park over the TV

Read the rest of the arti­cle below your­self and see how a high net worth is not the req­ui­site for a healthy lifestyle.

Can An Apple A Day Increase Your Net Worth?

By BJ. Gallagher

One day, not too long ago, I took a break from my writ­ing to watch a pop­u­lar after­noon talk show. The fea­tured guest was a well-known TV-actress-turned-health-expert who was expound­ing on her elab­o­rate self-care rou­tine: daily med­i­ta­tion, yoga sev­eral times a week, fre­quent Pilates, veg­e­tar­ian meals of organic pro­duce grown in her own gar­den, umpteen vit­a­min and min­eral sup­ple­ments, fre­quent appli­ca­tions of bio-identical hor­mone potions, and fab­u­lous sex with her hand­some hus­band. Of course, she was flog­ging her new book, promis­ing that every woman could look so good at 60.

I turned off the TV in dis­gust. “Of course she can do all that great healthy stuff,” I har­rumphed. “She’s rich. She has all the time in the world to devote to exer­cise, med­i­ta­tion, and home-grown veg­gies in home-cooked meals. She hires per­sonal train­ers to come to her home; she can med­i­tate all day long with­out a care; AND she’s got a great hus­band to man­age her career. If I had her money, I’d look that good, too!”

All the women I know are stressed out and stretched to the max, just try­ing to keep the mort­gage paid and util­i­ties on. Many are rais­ing kids — often alone — won­der­ing how they’re going to make ends meet. They’re wor­ried about keep­ing their jobs, or find­ing new ones if they’ve lost theirs. “How on earth can I find time for exer­cise — or even sleep — when my life is too busy just try­ing to hold it all together?” they lament.

Hey every­one!

It’s been a busy cou­ple of weeks, what with the myr­iad of cel­e­bra­tions and events hap­pen­ing around the world, includ­ing Valentine’s Day, the Chi­nese New Year and the start of the Win­ter Olympics, we sure do have a lot of things to occupy our­selves with!

Of course, the sub­ject of all our atten­tion, energy and focus here at Silva Inter­na­tional is on Laura’s brand new prod­uct, the Silva Intu­ition Sys­tem. I’m sure most of you’ve already seen or heard about this amaz­ing sys­tem and how it’ll help you sharpen and grow your intu­itive skills to give you an edge over almost every­one else in life.

And just because this is also the biggest thing in my mind right now, I just wanted to put up this really fun and awe­some quiz that Fin­er­minds had in their blog recently. Yeah, it’s about intu­ition and it’s really fun and really entertaining…

I did it for the first time last week and I was totally sur­prised with the results…  I mean, you think you know some­thing, but actu­ally you don’t really know all that much. So in case you missed out on this last week, click below to get started… Go ahead and have some fun this Lunar New Year, the Silva way!

How Intu­itive Are You? Take The Quiz And Know Your 6th Sense Score

by Vishen Lakhi­ani

Ever won­der how intu­itive are you? Are you some­one who goes by the book rely­ing solely on logic or do you fol­low your hunches and go with your gut feelings?

Well, this quiz may not be as mag­i­cal as the “Which Harry Pot­ter Char­ac­ter Are You?” quiz but it’s way more ben­e­fi­cial, excit­ing, and will give you a quick glimpse of how you make deci­sions in your every­day life.

There are 4 lev­els of intu­ition. Level 1 is your warn­ing sys­tem, level 2 revolves around your social intu­ition, level 3 is your cre­ative intu­ition, and level 4 is higher pur­pose intu­ition. After you’ve done the quiz, there’s a full expla­na­tion of each of the 4 lev­els. You’ll dis­cover what level of intu­ition you’re cur­rently at — and if you’re below Level 4 — what you can aspire to be when you reach higher lev­els above you.

Hi friends!

I’m sure you remem­ber my very good friend, Vishen Lakhi­ani who also hap­pens to be one of our most suc­cess­ful Silva grad­u­ates. He was also a Silva instruc­tor for 5 years and is now run­ning a $10 mil­lion dol­lar online pub­lish­ing business.

Vishen was one of the speak­ers at Engage Today 2009. It was truly one of the most inspir­ing talks I had ever seen, so I thought I would share the video here with you.

Remem­ber what I told you about the ban­is­ter effect - when you see some­one doing and suc­ceed­ing at some­thing that you’ve always wanted to do, you will uncon­sciously form a belief that you can do it too, and prob­a­bly end up doing it.

Engage Today was one of the biggest per­sonal growth events of the decade. Trans­for­ma­tional lead­ers from all over the world, like His Holi­ness The Dalai Lama and Sir Richard Bran­son flew into Cal­gary to share their wis­dom on mak­ing the world, busi­ness, and each other better.

Watch the video and let Vishen tell you…

• How he grew his com­pany over 400% in rev­enues over a 1 year period
• What “the state of flow” is, and how it holds the key to ener­giz­ing your company
• His expla­na­tion of “the Para­dox of Inten­tion” and why hap­pi­ness can­not be tied to your goals
• What to do if you’re in a job or career that you don’t like
• Does it make sense to hire entre­pre­neurs into your business?

I hope you found this video inspir­ing.  I know I cer­tainly did! Let me know what you think, share your thoughts with me in the com­ments box below. Till then…

Bet­ter and Better,

Laura

Every­one is look­ing for inner peace. The ques­tion is, how do we find it?

In the video below, I’m going to explain the ingre­di­ents and  process to find­ing inner peace. It’s a quick watch, but I’m sure you’re going to ben­e­fit greatly from it.

Being “at peace” with your­self is healthy, as it is the oppo­site to being anx­ious or stressed. When you’re men­tally and spir­i­tu­ally at peace, you’ll become a stronger per­son inside and out, and this will help you in the face of any chal­lenges you may encounter through­out your life. It will also improve your rela­tion­ships with those around you.

This video will give you some clar­ity on the impor­tance of find­ing inner peace through med­i­ta­tion. You’ll also under­stand how every sin­gle inten­tions, thoughts and beliefs can really affect your liv­ing expe­ri­ence which will, in turn, affect your desired outcome.

Bet­ter and better,

Laura

“Suc­cess is not for the timid, It is for those who seek guid­ance, make deci­sions, and take deci­sive action.” - Jose Silva

Hi friends,

We’re well into Jan­u­ary now, and I’m not going to for­get my promise to help you achieve your 2010 goals

Sta­tis­tics have shown that 90% of us will aban­don our res­o­lu­tions by April, but with my help, you’re going to make 2010 one of the best years of your life!

There are so peo­ple who’re hav­ing prob­lems achiev­ing their desired out­come. They know what they want, but they don’t know how to get it. The Silva Method has always taught us that with proper pro­gram­ming cou­pled with appro­pri­ate actions, we can make things happen!

So, today, I’m going to give you 2 easy steps you must keep in mind when get­ting your goals.

Step 1 — Meditate

Go into your level and seek guid­ance. I can­not stress how great the ben­e­fits of med­i­ta­tion, and this is merely one of it. When at your level, con­sider the things that you like, the things that you’re good at and the things that you want. Con­sider what you already have or don’t have, ie. the things that can help you get ahead.

When you’re at your level, every­thing will slowly become clearer.  You’ll be more aware of what you need to do first before you begin or to con­tinue your journey.

Be aware of your strong points, but do not limit your­self and open your­self to accept­ing cre­ative guidance.

Then clear your mind; expect an answer. Some peo­ple spend all their time ask­ing and talk­ing. You must be a good lis­tener, then guid­ance will come. Now you are ready for the sec­ond step.

2. Make Your Decisions

This is where you decide how you can ful­fill your life pur­pose. Remem­ber, you must pro­gram for suc­cess, but you must also start doing some­thing to get it.

I must warn you though… All these years with the Silva Method, I’ve heard lots of peo­ple say­ing that they want to wait till they’ve mas­tered the tech­niques before they even try to ful­fill their dreams…

Please do not do this.

Here’s where I quote my father, Jose Silva,

” If you were per­fect, you would not be here in this class­room called Earth. This is our train­ing ground and on-the-job training.”

It is very impor­tant to learn as much as you can through this jour­ney we call Life. And it is impor­tant to love, and to express your love to other beings on this planet. Learn how to improve your rela­tion­ships with those around you… It’s very impor­tant in ful­fill­ing your life purpose.

As human beings, we always have a choice. We can com­pete or we can work together in har­mony and I hope that together, we’ll live in har­mony and help make this world a much bet­ter place by bring­ing more peace and love to all that we meet.

Bet­ter and Better,

Laura

PS: Were these tips help­ful to you? Leave a com­ment below, I’d love to know what you think.

Hey guys!

Today we’re going to do some­thing really won­der­ful and ben­e­fi­cial. We are going to do a fun exer­cise and those of you who par­tic­i­pate will receive a spe­cial gift.

Now here comes the fun part!

Here is what you have to do to make this exer­cise interesting:

1. Think of the four most desir­able qual­i­ties that you admire of your friends and family.
2. Get a pen
3. Write these pos­i­tive qual­i­ties on each of your fin­gers (write  the words on the out­side of your bot­tom 3 fin­gers and the inside of your index finger)
4. Now point.
5. Take a pic­ture of your hand (sim­i­lar to the photo exam­ple below)
6. Leave the link to your photo in the comments

Below is a friends and my picture:

So often we are our worst enemy. We can quickly list our faults before we can men­tion a pos­i­tive qual­ity about ourselves.

Pre­vi­ously, I have talked about how we some­times like putting the blame on oth­ers, espe­cially when it comes to our own mis­for­tune. But did you real­ize that every­time you point one fin­ger at some­one else, you have three point­ing back at you?

The same holds true for pos­i­tive qualities.

The beauty you see in oth­ers, is really a reflec­tion of the beauty you see in YOU.

So what is the prize?

Last week, those of you who par­tic­i­pated in the sur­vey received the Silva Method’s Relax­ation Series.

The Relax­ation Series con­tains 3 pow­er­ful exercises:

1. 30 Minute Med­i­ta­tion on Deep Relaxation
2. 15 Min­utes Med­i­ta­tion on Deep Relaxation
3. Sounds of Relax­ation (this will help you med­i­tate with­out my voice in the background)

For those of you who did not get to par­tic­i­pate, you now have the chance to try it out.

So post below and I will per­son­ally send you the relax­ation series!

Don’t for­get to have fun while you’re doing it!

Cheers,

Jill

Every­day I am over­whelmed by the amount of beau­ti­ful, amaz­ing, inspir­ing sto­ries that we receive from peo­ple all over the world.

I feel such grat­i­tude and appre­ci­a­tion when­ever I read them that I want to spread this feel­ing of joy to all of you and share some of the best heal­ing sto­ries we’ve received.

And so I asked Jill to com­pile all the heal­ing sto­ries that peo­ple have sent to us over the past years.

I’m going to put out a few only and as for the rest, they will be attached to the doc­u­ment at the bot­tom. There are just too many suc­cess sto­ries to be put into one blog post, but I am putting out my per­sonal favorites below.

As I learnt to speak, I started to stut­ter. Nobody is sure why, but the fact was that I devel­oped a seri­ous stut­ter and I had com­mu­ni­ca­tions prob­lems. Dur­ing my pri­mary school years I man­aged to get by, but every day was a struggle.

When I became a teenager things became worse. Peo­ple at school started to bully me Read More…

On Sun­day, I promised you some­thing very valu­able on Tuesday.

But before that, I want you to think about this. All our lives, we’ve expe­ri­enced an ongo­ing process of per­sonal evolution.

We’ve over­come reces­sions, ill­ness, ter­ror­ism and count­less other chal­lenges, changes and obsta­cles — yet through it all, we remain stand­ing strong today.

And soon, you’ll be expe­ri­enc­ing a level of strength you may never have thought pos­si­ble.

I need you to watch this video with a clear head. I need you to keep the faith. And I need you to believe that what­ever you desire, the Uni­verse will give it to you.

Believe me, the bound­aries of human poten­tial are about to be broken.

I’ll talk to you more about this very soon. Stay tuned.

Bet­ter and Bet­ter,
Laura

The act of ques­tion­ing is a trait exclu­sive to our species. We have always chal­lenged our poten­tial, and the pos­si­bil­i­ties that lie within. And while a great deal of these ques­tions remain unan­swered, we are slowly but surely begin­ning to dis­cover answers in areas once shrouded in darkness.

And at times, some ques­tions are best left unan­swered…until the right time.

Allow me to explain. At one point in time, my father for­bade me to share cer­tain ele­ments of the Silva Method. Prac­tices that empower the user’s mind with the abil­ity to heal him/herself and oth­ers. Prac­tices that allow the fine tun­ing of one’s energy, to the point where con­nect­ing with one’s higher self and cre­at­ing a joy and success-filled real­ity becomes effort­less.

Prac­tices that, in as few words as pos­si­ble, give you the power to unlock the Unlim­ited poten­tial of your mind.

So why did Jose Silva not want these prac­tices released to the pub­lic? The answer is quite sim­ple. In the 80’s, tech­nol­ogy and human con­scious­ness were prim­i­tive when com­pared to today’s stan­dards. Peo­ple were much less open to ideas and beliefs that hov­ered any­where out­side of their com­fort zones. And so my father knew that these prac­tices, with their incred­i­ble promises and ben­e­fits, would likely have scared many peo­ple.

At the time, absorb­ing even the most basic ele­ments of the Silva Method took a con­sid­er­able leap of faith!

But, what he didn’t stop me from was believ­ing that any­thing is pos­si­ble, and that the mind still holds many secrets for the bet­ter­ment of humankind.

My older sis­ter, Isabel, was the first to be trained as a psy­chic by my father. She has honed her abil­i­ties to the point where she can see through a person’s body, and imme­di­ately detect health prob­lems like can­cer. She can find lost objects, and pos­sesses an under­stand­ing of the world and its inner work­ings that go far beyond the per­ceived lim­i­ta­tions of ‘nor­mal’ people.

Skep­tics may find this hard to swal­low, but I assure you it is true. To this day, Isabel uses the power of her mind to help baf­fled doc­tors detect prob­lems that machines and con­ven­tional analy­sis fail to pinpoint.

I’ll soon show you more exam­ples of sim­i­larly incred­i­ble feats, so that you may see them for yourself.

So why am I telling you this? Well before I offer you the solu­tion, I first need you to believe. Remem­ber yes­ter­day I wrote about Roger Ban­nis­ter? He was the first man to run a mile in 4 min­utes — a feat con­sid­ered impos­si­ble at the time.

But strangely, after he accom­plished this record, it was bro­ken only 46 days later by another run­ner. And again, and again, and again not long after by other runners.

Why? Because once oth­ers saw he could do it, they knew they could too. It was a chain reac­tion that’s now known as the ‘Ban­nis­ter Effect’.

And that’s exactly what I’m going to do with you. I want you to run this mile, and break all pre­vi­ous records.

No more bound­aries, no more doubts, no more self lim­it­ing beliefs.

All you need to do open your mind. Are you ready to believe?

The Silva Method has existed for over 5 decades and has been the source of many mod­ern day per­sonal devel­op­ment move­ments.  Remem­ber Roger Ban­nis­ter, the ath­lete who broke the 4 minute mile bar­rier, and then year after year peo­ple kept break­ing records because peo­ple started believ­ing in what they once thought was impos­si­ble. The video is our effort to help you realise the power in you, to help you realise what you are capa­ble of, and for you to under­stand that any doubt you may pos­sess is noth­ing more than a bar­rier, just like the 4 minute mile bar­rier once was. This video was just fea­tured on the #1 blog for per­sonal trans­for­ma­tion: Fin­er­Minds, and it has received many com­ments from peo­ple who have been inspired by it.

If you have not caught the video yet, then I sug­gest that you watch it below right now.

The video shares some incred­i­ble sto­ries of peo­ple who have achieved things that one would only once dream about achiev­ing. All of them have been Silva prac­ti­tion­ers. They have all been peo­ple who went to the source and expe­ri­enced for them­selves, the amaz­ing heights achiev­able with The Silva Method.

We want you to help us find answers, share your thoughts, and think about what you can do to achieve this incred­i­ble level which The Silva Method offers to you.

Ques­tions you should ask yourself:

• What is pre­vent­ing you from get­ting to this level?
• Are you happy with the achieve­ment of your goals so far?
• Are you sat­is­fied with what you have in your life?
• Why does The Silva Method work so well for these incred­i­ble peo­ple, and what do you need to do to obtain this desired level of being?

We really want to hear from you and are look­ing for­ward to read­ing your com­ments below.
