Hi friends!

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.

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.

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:

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

Burt, also known as The American Monk, is a spiritual guru, praised teacher, recognized painter, awarded photographer, published author, ordained minister and an online entrepreneur.

Burt Goldman has a secret on how he has managed to accomplish so much in life and why he is not nearly close to being finished.

In December 2008, Burt held a live teleseminar event where he revealed the secret technique that he kept hush-hush for years. A technique that will give anybody the ability to accomplish any goal and manifest endless abundance, health and happiness in life….

A technique called Quantum Jumping.

Burt released this secret just a little over 8 months ago,  but now there are now over 50 000 Quantum Jumpers worldwide!

Here’s what just a few of them have to say:

“The Quantum Jumping course is absolutely wonderful. I was skeptical at first, but it works! Everything you teach works and it is so easy to learn and put into effect.”

- Aline Habesch

“I enjoyed the Quantum Jumping course very much. It is AMAZING! I am 78 years young and feel re-energized every time I listen to Burt. I recommend Quantum Jumping to everybody!”

- Remy Riborozo

“Burt, I will go through your your Quantum Jumping course over and over again. I finally feel I have found a very powerful skill/technique that literally ‘wipes out’ any negativity I harbor within. You have been frank,
honest and filled with zeal and enthusiasm. You are right, there is only better!

I highly recommend Quantum Jumping to anyone! It is a release from the fear of being ’stuck’ that previously dominated my mind and body. Thank you Burt.”

- Christine Chandler

Curious to hear what the excitement is about?

P.S.  Im curious to know what you think about Quantum Jumping. Would you take the 'leap'?

The universe is so abundant and there are so much resources everywhere, but until today I still hear people telling me that they don't have enough.

One of the usual favorites is money. People are always saying that they don't have any money and this leads me to ask them the big question; what is your beliefs about money?

Most Silva students already know this, but I just want to remind everyone that your thoughts and your beliefs, as well as your attitude will govern your reality, which is why I want to share this video with you to remind you of this important fact.

Remember, you deserve to have abundance, whether it is abundance of money, time, joy or happiness, you deserve to have it all.

Did you know that I was once 80 pounds heavier than my usual weight?

Yes, its true.

It was right after when I gave birth to Sarah but with the right technique, I managed to lose it all and went back to my usual, healthy weight.

Anyway, I know that many of you are looking for ways to reduce and manage your weight and if you utilize it right, the Silva Method has all the right answers for you.

I want to share with you how the Silva Method not only teaches you about weight management, but also about habit management because without one or the other, it will be really hard to achieve what you have set out to do!

What a significant and powerful date!

Did you know that the number 9, according to numerologist, is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative? To me, the energy that the number 9 brings is all about compassion, and passion and honesty.

Everyone celebrated this calendrical anomaly in their own special ways, from mass weddings to gatherings and other energy-gathering activities, so I hope you did not let this special day pass you by without celebrating it because this is the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we will see for almost a century...

Isn't that something to think about.

So why not take the time today to raise our level of consciousness yet again, and come together to create a strong mass of spiritual, healing and positive energy in meditation?

Let bring yourself together with the entire creation and lift your energy vibrations to a whole new level of understanding and awakening.

Better and better,

Laura

PS: Do share with me what your experience was on this special date, and how you celebrated. I would love to read your stories!

The recent recession really affected most of us, and it really saddens me to watch those I love and care for getting so hurt by it.

But a lot of people do not understand that they are the result of their own thoughts, that they create their own reality and that they are the ones in complete control of their own destiny.

I recently went through this experience with my best friend, but we managed to turn her life around and now she is living the life that she has always wanted.

Watch this video for a step by step guide on how you can take full control of your reality and turn your whole life around by using the Silva Method.

PS: If you ever need help or guidance, don't hesitate to drop me a line and I will be more than happy to get back to you.

Recently my husband, quite surprisingly, fell ill and was admitted into the hospital.

We were very worried for him, as his fever, which earlier subsided, came back with a vengeance and his temperature was higher than ever.

The doctors told us that he had contracted a bacterial infection and would most probably stay in the hospital for quite some time. I did the best thing for him that I could - I continued doing energy passes, even though the doctors said that I was "interfering" with his healing process.

But my energy passes must have worked because in a few short days, my husband recovered completely, which truly baffled the doctors!

This incident left me full of gratitude for life, for our wealth in health and happiness. I was on a roller-coaster of emotions during those few days and I managed to record them into my personal journal - which I have decided to share with all of you here.

This incident left me feeling so grateful for the knowledge and training of the Silva Method which I have, which really helped me during this emergency situation.

I also hope that my story has managed to inspire you in some ways. Do let me know if you had similar experiences that I did and if the energy passes that you did worked for you and your loved ones as well.

Better and better,

Laura
