Have you ever been in a situation where you were “stuck” trying to come up with something creative? When you “sleep on it”, your subconscious mind is really working on all the data that you’ve consumed and most of the time, it will give you a better solution in the morning!

Here, John Cleese, an Academy Award-nominated English actor, comedian, writer, and film producer, talks about creativity or problem solving and the subconscious mind. While his technique is to “sleep” on an idea or the project that he’s working on, we at Silva know that you can get the same effect when you meditate.

As Silva students, you already know the unlimited power of your mind. When you’re at the Alpha or Theta level, you’ll have access to wealth of information that will put you way ahead of the rest. This will also help with your work, ideas, creativity and problem solving. So remember this the next time you’re “stuck” — Just take a deep breath, get into your Alpha or Theta level and voila! You’ll see the directions you need to take to get answers to your problems

Not only that, it’s also been covered by numerous major dailies such as the Washington Post and The New York Times.

Here’s an article that’s written by a news journalist, James Crenshaw that was published in FATE Magazine.  Here, he talks about the various experiments which he personally observed with a few professors on psychic healing. The methods used, as well as the results are truly interesting and mind-blowing.

I know that there are those of you out there who doubt your own abil­i­ties of heal­ing, which means you doubt the power of your mind. So I recommend that you read this report  to erase any hesitations you may have which will hinder your ability to heal.

Arna is now a Silva instructor and a successful business owner. I’ve posted her story below for your reading pleasure and as a source of inspiration.

Change Your Thinking — Change Your Life

Want to sleep better, change unwanted habits, improve your business and have the life of your dreams? Then think about it! The power of your thoughts can change your life.

You may have heard that you can achieve anything you set your mind to – but is it really that simple? Yes, it is scientifically proven! Best selling authors call it “The Secret” or the “Law of Attraction.” Jose Silva has perfected the techniques and The Silva Method Workshop now teaches you how to put these powerful tools into practice. If you want to not only know more, but create more with your thoughts, you can experience the power of your own mind by attending this Silva Method workshop presented by Arna Berg who claims she owes much of her abundant success in life to The Silva Method.

Learn to improve your life

After years of working for someone else, Arna explained that circumstances led her to start a little business in Simpson Bay Yacht Club and she opened the doors of The Business Centre. In the beginning it didn’t go very well, every day she wondered how to attract clients, whether the business could pay her a salary and if the business would even survive to the end of the first year. In 1992 her friend Malcolm Maidwell read a book about the Silva Method and he persuaded Arna and a small group of friends from St. Maarten to fly to New York and take this four-day workshop. The things she learned there dramatically changed her life.

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…

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.

Click here to view the embedded video.

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.

Last week, we talked about 5 simple ways to be happy.

As Silva students, we’re fortunate enough to have tips and techniques that can naturally help us achieve happiness. This of course, include meditation, which is the key ingredient used in all of Silva Method’s exercises.

Meditation helps us to relax our mind and body while giving us physical as well as inner peace. It heals stress, anxiety as well as depression.

We already know that engaging in activities that relieve you from stress, anxiety and depression, such as meditation, can reduce the negative energies in our system leading to happiness.

Unfortunately, there are still so many out there who have yet to experience its wondrous benefits.

So, in their quest to achieve happiness, they try various methods that may include medication, drugs and other adrenaline-rushing activities which just aren’t healthy in the long run.

For this reason alone, I am very happy to see that meditation is being recognized more and more in the medical world for its natural and permanent benefits.

Here’s an article written by Janis Whitlock (MPH, PhD), which talks about the increasing number of those addicted to unnatural methods in their quest to find happiness, but with less than positive results.

According to Janis, with the quest for happiness, as it is socially and culturally defined in most western nations, comes heightened risk for addictions of all sorts — particularly for youth.

The article elaborated on the science of addiction, which reveals that when someone struggles with substance abuse or process addictions present in our culture such as food, sex, gambling, self-harming behaviors, or even excessive Internet usage or workaholism, the pay-off is the same: increased levels of “feel good” chemicals.

All of these behaviors increase levels of “happiness” chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, endogenous opiods, and norepinephrine — at least for a short while.

Meditation, meanwhile, provides the much sought-after positive and permanent qualities that so many are searching for:

• Increased understanding of the neurology of contentment suggests that practices such as meditation and contemplation may hold the key to real and lasting happiness
• Studies of long-term meditators by researchers such as Richard Davidson from the UW-Madison Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience show that meditation is linked to significant activity in the left prefrontal cortex — areas of the brain linked to positive emotion
• Studies of the effect of meditation on mental health typically show meditation linked to significantly less trait anxiety and negative affect, enhanced levels of circulating antibodies and the high-frequency gamma waves associated with higher mental activity
• Similarly, as reviewed in Stefan Klein’s book, The Science of Happiness, long-term compassion-focused meditation has been linked to the most intense left-sided, happiness-related brain activity ever recorded
• These studies have shown that the effects of meditation are believed to be permanent

You can read the rest of the article here, and see for yourself how even the medical world is now recognizing the wonderful benefits of meditation.

Why teens addict: The elusive search for happiness

by Janis Whitlock, MPH, PhD

Happiness. We all want it. If you were born in America you learned early that happiness is not only your right but a national obsession as well. Indeed, not only do we individually spend huge amounts of time, energy, and money becoming and staying happy, corporations spend equal amounts of these convincing everyone that they are not happy enough and deserve more. The western relationship to happiness is indeed an odd one. And, it is into this odd relationship that adolescents are inducted as one of the many unspoken rites of passage into adulthood.

Oh, happy day!

The Silva Method is slowly but surely being recognized as one of the world’s most powerful, life-changing system that expands on the abilities of the human mind.

How do I know this? Well, we were published in one of India’s leading publications, The Kolkata Mirror, just last month!

I was very pleased that it mentioned that by opening up to the additional faculties of the mind while at the Alpha and Theta level, anyone can achieve anything that they desire, including great health, abundance, and happiness.

Most of you Silva students and graduates already know the benefits that the Silva Method can bring, but did you know that  the Silva Method is the only system that delivers a systematic process that allows you to evolve your untapped Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) skills?

And there are still so many out there who do not understand psychic or intuitive abilities.

Which is why I’m ecstatic that Silva Mind Control is being discussed in a country as far away as India!

My favorite part of the article was when Dr. Avdhut Das, (one of three certified Silva trainers in India) said that there is only 4 ways to get into the Alpha level and that Silva is one of it.

Here’s also my favorite quote from the article:

“Silva opens a storehouse of positive energy that enables the practitioners to deal with HERBS: health, education, relationships, business and sports aspects of life”

Well I think that sums up the Silva Method perfectly
