Do you know that the Silva Method has been stud­ied and researched in about 8 uni­ver­si­ties across the coun­try such as Trin­ity Uni­ver­sity, Duke Uni­ver­sity and the Uni­ver­sity of Texas?

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.

As Silva stu­dents, you already know that thoughts lead to actions which lead to real­ity. In short, your thoughts are your real­ity.

We’re very for­tu­nate to have dis­cov­ered this truth and be pre­sented with a golden oppor­tu­nity to take con­trol of our real­ity. Arna Burg is a clas­sic case of a per­son who turned her life around the minute she dis­cov­ered the Silva Method.

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.

Hi friends,

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.

Bet­ter and Better,

Laura

And so we are back, ladies and gen­tle­men, just in time for Thanks­giv­ing (like I said we will!)

Okay, for those of you who just got here and have no clue what’s hap­pen­ing, this is a con­tin­u­a­tion of an exer­cise I started last week.

See I was talk­ing about how  we all have a list of things that we keep telling our­selves we’ll do, things that we know would improve us, make us bet­ter per­sons… yet we keep putting them off!

So I asked every­one to list down their 3 things in their “Life’s Big List” and then I gave every­one one week to get the ball rolling to accom­plish these things! Those who actu­ally do some­thing about it will get a Silva reward!

Of course to be fair, I need to par­tic­i­pate too… So here are my 3 things which I posted up last week:

1. Start writ­ing my novel
2. Take gui­tar lessons
3. Read at least one book a week

Well, what do you know, I man­aged to get it started!

In the past week alone, I have:

1. Orga­nized, col­lated and re-edited my drafts, and even started talk­ing to a few edi­tors to see if I could find one to help me out!
2. I have signed up for gui­tar lessons
3. I fin­ished read­ing The Cul­ture Code by Clotaire Rapaille and next I will be read­ing Par­adise Lost by John Milton

I am feel­ing SO accom­plished right now and so excited!

And now I want to see what you have done and share it with me. Leave your accom­plish­ments in the com­ment box below and tell me exactly what you did to start get­ting closer to your goals.

OH! Please don’t for­get to leave your email addresses too… This is very impor­tant because I will be email­ing you the details of the prize that you’ll be get­ting from Silva for par­tic­i­pat­ing in this exercise!

Cheers,
Jill

PS: Well, what are you wait­ing for? Go ahead and start typ­ing, I just can’t wait to see what you have got­ten so far

Did you know that there are 4 dif­fer­ent stages to the mind? Did you also know how impor­tant it is for you to enter and remain the fourth stage at will?

By spend­ing a few min­utes watch­ing this, you’re going to under­stand the impor­tance of  mind­set and how it’s going to affect your ‘flow’.

This will, in turn, help you boost your income by affect­ing your 4 dif­fer­ent states of mind:

It’s so inspir­ing to see this for­mer Silva Grad­u­ate tell his story on how he used the Silva Method in his day-to-day life as well as to build a highly suc­cess­ful busi­ness.

I strongly sug­gest you take his tips and tech­niques into your strat­egy to lock in wealth and suc­cess. Such a rare nugget of wis­dom may be rare to come by but when it does, it only makes sense for you to take full advan­tage and apply it to your life!

Remem­ber: Knowl­edge, how­ever attained, when applied will pre­vent suf­fer­ing and lead to greater success.

Bet­ter and Better,

Laura

PS: What did you think of the video? Drop us a com­ment and let us know if it has helped you with your ‘flow’.

I have a spe­cial some­thing for all of you, and it comes to you in the form of an astound­ing man who goes by the name of Bill.

Bill was hit with a series of life chal­lenges, one after the other, but he never once gave up. He broke his back and was told by his doc­tors that he would never, ever, walk again. On  top of every­thing else, his wife left him for being a para­plegic but Bill proved, once and for all that he could over­come anything.

His story left me with a warm feel­ing of grat­i­tude, humil­ity and pride for his achieve­ments as well as the work of my father, Jose Silva.

I really must share Bill’s story with you so lis­ten here to find out the rest of his story and see for your­self how far he has gone since.

I guar­an­tee you that you will be amazed and inspired.

Lis­ten to Bill’s story, it brought tears to my eyes:

Dear friends,

I just got back from a great trip with my hus­band, its great to get away and relax! (espe­cially with the busy hol­i­day sea­son just around the cor­ner)

I absolutely adore my life but it can get pretty hec­tic. I just seem to be on the go all the time.

And I’m pos­i­tive you can relate.

Luck­ily,  I have a secret weapon that I always use to calm and relax myself.  And I want you to have it too!

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)

But I need your help!

I am doing a sur­vey to learn more about you (yes, my beloved Silva stu­dents) and I need your answers to com­plete my research. Just six easy ques­tions and all you have to do is check a box that suits you the most!

So please click on the link below and help us out. After answer­ing 6 easy ques­tions, you will be redi­rected to the Relax­ation Series.

P.S. This Poll will be open just for a week! You won’t find these med­i­ta­tions any­where, so act fast if your seri­ous about your inner peace

It goes with­out say­ing that med­i­ta­tion is one of the most pow­er­ful tools that if used prop­erly, can help us achieve wealth, health and hap­pi­ness. It helps us release neg­a­tive thoughts and energy and instead, focus on joy and positivity.

It is one of the most impor­tant ingre­di­ents to a more potent Silva living.

But I have been notic­ing some gen­eral mis­un­der­stand­ings about med­i­ta­tion that I really feel I should address.

Here is a list of the top 5:

1. Stop Thinking

This is harder than it sounds I know.

It is only nat­ural, but con­trary to pop­u­lar beliefs, med­i­ta­tion is not only about com­pletely stop­ping your thoughts or com­pletely blank­ing your mind.

Dur­ing med­i­ta­tion, when you feel you mind begin to wan­der, it nat­ural, just stop and bring it back to the present and your meditation.

A good tech­nique is to ask your­self “I won­der what my next thought will be?”. Go ahead and do it. Did you notice a pause in your thoughts?

2. Med­i­tate to Escape

This can­not be a more wrong belief.  It is with med­i­ta­tion that we come face-to-face with our most inner­most fears, pain and most self­ish of desires.

When we can sit with and accept these unwel­come parts of our­selves we begin to dis­em­power them. This sim­ple act of allow­ing and accept­ing has deep sig­nif­i­cance in the process of heal­ing and liberation.

3. You Have To Sit In The Full Lotus Position

Con­trary to pop­u­lar beliefs, you do not have to sit on the floor in a full lotus posi­tion to med­i­tate. The most impor­tant thing is that you are a hun­dred per­cent com­fort­able, and in a com­fort­able envi­ron­ment which will not dis­tract your med­i­ta­tion process.

As long as you are relaxed, focus, and you keep your spine straight, your med­i­ta­tion ses­sion should be a won­der­ful and reward­ing experience.

4. Med­i­ta­tion Is Deep Relaxation

While med­i­ta­tion is very help­ful in man­ag­ing stress and help­ing us over­come ill­nesses and obtain­ing the per­fect health, its not right to reduce it to just “deep relax­ation”. To be fair, being relaxed is only one part of suc­cess­ful med­i­ta­tion, while the other half is keep­ing the mind alert.

I know this sounds con­fus­ing, but this is the tricky part of med­i­ta­tion, which you can over­come over time and with con­stant prac­tice and guid­ance from your Silva audio home study course.

5. Just Fol­low The CD

While the Silva Method pro­vides you with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve all of your desires eas­ily through a num­ber of pro­grams which we present to you in the form of CDs, you and I both know that we can­not just plug it in and leave it to do all the work.

The life that you desire is filled with suc­cess, heal­ing and free­dom and it can be achieved through a few addi­tional tech­niques and tools which will com­pli­ment your exist­ing pro­grams, such as lessons and other tips that I give out here in this blog.

Also don’t for­get to prac­tice your med­i­ta­tion and make a habit of doing it at least once a day, to accel­er­ate your poten­tial and help you achieve your desires.

Bet­ter and better,

Laura

PS: Did these tips help you out with your med­i­ta­tion? Do let me know, I would love to hear from you.
