To give you an example, here's my 6-word Silva story:

Spread enlightenment, better & better, helping humanity.

"Why are we doing this, Laura?" you ask .

Well, I think it would be really helpful for all of us to not only focus on the most important things that we want or have in our lives (that you're achieving using the Silva Method) but it's also good for me to know just how much my father's work has helped all of you towards living the lives that you desire.

So go ahead and get creative. Leave your 6-word Silva story in the comments below, I really can't wait to read them!

Better and Better,

Laura

One of the very best ways to do this, of course, is through the simple act of being grateful, which we all know is the most important step to changing our lives for the better. 

Not many of us realize this but being grateful involves making a choice, changing your perspective and considering the implications involved. Listen to the rest of my Thanksgiving message below:

Before I leave you to ponder, I want you to promise me that you're going to make it your daily habit to list down all the things that you're grateful for in your life, what you have and want and what you don't have and don't want.

Did you know that people who express gratitude daily are 20% happier?

So I encourage you to start making gratitude, not a yearly ritual, but a daily one. Make it one of the first things you do when you wake up or before you go to sleep.

It's fun, it will inspire you, promote good health and help make you a better person!

I tool I use is Gratitude Log also known as the happiest place on the internet!

Better and Better,
Laura

PS: You can even invite your family and friends to 'follow' you on Gratitude Log, so get them on the bandwagon and start making happy today!

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'.

The Silva Life System is now available in Russian!

And to celebrate, I'm going to give you a gift. You're going to receive free Silva lessons in Russian, which you can forward to your friends or family who are native Russian speakers!

The Silva Method is really expanding around the world, and we're humbled that we're able to spread the work of my father, Jose Silva to more and more areas around the globe and help improve more and more lives.

One thing I've realized lately is that while abundance, joy and health know no boundaries, language does.

It's in my best interest to bring down as much of these boundaries as I can in the hopes of spreading enlightenment and betterment to as many lives as possible and now I'm just pleased to be able to announce that the Russian version of the Silva Method is born!

Now everyone in countries such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia can take the next step towards achieving and living their dreams.

So come join in the celebrations and don't forget to collect your free gift right here.

After all, what could be the best gift to give your loved ones but a life full of abundance and happiness?

Better and Better,
Laura

I am a firm believer that wealth is a function of your mindset.

It's time to start building your wealth mindset. For those you just tuning in, I've declared this week "Wealth Week".

Everywhere we turn, we're still being hit by stories about the recession. With all this negativity buzzing around, it's easy to see why many people are struggling.

It's time for some good news.

That's why I've been compiling stories submitted by YOU on how you've used Silva to bring wealth and success into your life - recession or otherwise.

Are you ready to be inspired?

In case you missed anything, here are the previous posts for Wealth Week:

There's No Such Thing As The Economy

P.S. Stay tuned - the best part of wealth week is coming up on Friday!

P.P.S. I have added Video Comments to the blog, with just the click of a button you can leave your own video in the comments section and see other silva students videos! I look forard to see you!

For as long as I can remember, I have been receiving lots of wonderful feedback and comments from all of you telling me about your beautiful lives and how much the Silva Method has helped bring more joy, happiness and abundance to you and your loved ones.

We at Silva International truly love receiving your comments and feedback. It is so inspiring and not to mention fulfilling.

So, to thank you for your kind and wonderful encouragement for my father's work, and not to mention your commitment and dedication to the Silva Method, I have decided to give you a special little treat.

So here is my special invitation for  you to come on a 'personal tour' with me to the home of the Silva Method! And the best part is, you can see it all right from the comforts of your own home...

Click here to view the embedded video.

So come and walk through the halls of Silva International and see for yourself where all the 'magic' happens!

I'm going to introduce to you all the amazing individuals who are behind the Silva Method. You'll also get to meet the people whom you interact with on a day-to-day basis, like my sister Diana, my eldest brother Joe, George and the rest of the team behind the Silva Method.

You'll also get to see my private office, the beautiful paintings that were painted by artists who took the Silva Method back in 1966 as well as a variety of collectibles that my father managed to collect during his lifetime, including plaques, books and memoirs.

Better and better,

Laura

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

How do you usually start your day?  What's your routine like, and does it work for you?

Up until a few years ago, I would run a marathon every three weeks, now I run about 6 to 10 km a day. Add this on top of running Silva International and being a loving wife and mother, its no secret that I need to have an endless supply of energy.

For me, it's very important to stick to a certain routine to maintain my health and stamina.

Watch the video to see what my typical day looks like  and then check out my very own energy drink recipe that I make and enjoy every single morning.

Click here to view the embedded video.

How To Make My Favorite Energy Drink

1. A cup of strawberries

2. Half a cup of mixed berries

3. Some watermelon

4. A few lettuce leaves

5. A handful of spirulina

Place the strawberries, berries, watermelon, lettuce leaves and spirulina in a blender. Cover the blender and blend on high speed until fruit is pureed. Add ice cubes, if you like your smoothies a bit colder. Cover the blender, and blend on high speed until ice is finely chopped.

And that's it!

I hope you enjoy the energy drink as much as I do!
Better and better,

Laura

P.S. I am curious to know if you have any health or routine secrets that keep you energized through the day! Let me know in the comments below.

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:
