Update!
Thank you everyone for your participation in this flagship poll for our exciting new Silva venture! It's really flattering to know that there are so many graduates of Jose Silva's legacy that are interested in helping us take the Method to a new level.
With that, the administrators of his humble blog would like to express their heartfelt thanks -- and the poll is now closed.
In 2008, The Silva Method has some BIG plans!
We'll be launching a membership website that will allow you to:
Keep in touch with your Silva instructors and lecture-mates
Watch and download never-seen-before footage and audios from over 30 years of The Silva Method's History
A Online Meditation Center that gives you the tools that you need to effectively practice the Silva Method.
And a database of Silva Cases that you can use to improve your intuition!
We want you to have the ultimate say on this matter... here's how YOU can help
We've got a few options for names and we would like YOU to vote for which name you like the best! Let us know what you think!
My name is Laura Silva Quesada, and I'm the President of Silva International. After my father Jose Silva passed in 1999, I've dedicated my life to spreading his teachings across the world. If you want to learn more about the Silva Method and what it can do to change your life for the better, feel free to browse through my blog. You'll find plenty of valuable information on the fields we specialize in, from meditation to intuition to healing. Enjoy, and may the rest of your life be the best of your life :).
The Silva University sounds most serious I think,
Cheers,
Torsten
'Club' is not serious.
'Training Centre' is serious.
'University' is pretentious.
'Learning Centre' is realistic and respectable.
I was a student of Laura many years ago in Laredo. Recently a whole bunch of old Silva books have crossed my path and I find myself rejoining this type of energy. I'm looking forward to seeing this new site.
Hi,
I chose "The Silva University." I see that the Silva Learning Center is in the lead, but you know there is a national franchise called the Sylvan Learning Center -- too similar, and perhaps confusing.
Secondly, The Silva University sets an intention in place: that Silva meditation will be taught in schools, and that the program will accrue to it the quality of universities. The earliest known "universities," such as those in Taxila, in India, were led by gurus who taught, as the basis of all other learning, meditation.

Website is in reconstruction. I practice many types of healing in my Clinic(Subtle Energy Works), and I've attended 2 Silva method seminars. I use the methods extensively. I love the methods and want to learn more. I cannot travel to Laredo for training to become a trainer. Is it possible to get the training on line that would qualify me to train? thanks.
The examples given lack somopen ask for ALL ideas.ething. Throw the naming
Hi
My name is Eddie Segrum and I am the personality profiler.
And after viewing your proposal for a new NAME for your upcoming web site I devoted a lot of my time searching the right word combination for your title. Using tarotnames com a program which took me over 20 years to perfect (nothing is perfect) tarotnames picked "Silva Life Plan" has the best energy value for your buck.
Shake it around with your friends and I think they will also agree to using "SILVA LIFE PLAN" as the newer title for your site.
Thank you
Eddie
PS. Try tarotnames com for yourself and use different versions and you can choose with is the best reading for yourself.
"The Silva Learning Center" sounds way too much like "The Sylvan Learning Center." You should be careful with that name.
simply Learning Center describes what it IS!
As I perceived a new name, the one that came across my mind was:
SILVA LIFE INSTITUTE - (numerically, the way I perceive it is an 11, master number)
the Method Silva is ok!!!!!perhaps it can change with:
"Silva Mind Power center"
or
"Silva Mind Power Education Center"
Or
"Silva Mind Control Education Center"
The Jose' Silva Deep Induction Pathway
In other words describe where a newbe is headed...deeper!
silva club - because educasio is fun -and we find fun in the club
Any one at any point of time can joint this course. So it is purely an Education Centre for Control Mind, Of course as we all know it is the teachings of Dr.Silva’s. Hence the name Silva Mind Control Education Centre will be the most suitable name which I feel.
Thanks for giving us an opportunity to suggest a name for new website.
We feel happy to takepart in it.
Cheers!

I chose the "The Silva Club" because I think it is more appealing to people.
Ron Daack
I think Silva Training Center is best simply for the "STC"
sounds better then "SLC" and SLC might already exist as in Second Life College. or The Silva Insentive Mind Power Learning Establishment.
my 2 cents
I think the Silva Learning Center is the best name for this upcoming site. The other names are innaccurate and don't work. The Silva Club sounds too much like a social gathering. Not too much is learned in Clubs. Silva Training Center sounds good but has some negative connotations to it. Silva University is innaccurate because its not a university. To become a university would require a college to stay in business for 100 years and turn out some graduates who make great achievements. Silva Learning Center is the most accurate name to give to this site.
I choose The Training Center:
1. The words natural flow
2. That is what people are doing "Traning" themselves to tap into their own potential.
It's all about training your mind, like an athlete!
Have a great week!
My suggestion for new silva website is: Silva lining.
not only does this sound good, it has deep inner meaning.
thankyou
asgar uk
Easy to say, laudable, unpretentious, and stresses the importance of the "Silva" learning method ~ a unique presentation and comprehensive teaching style for this type of material. Capitalize on the free marketing already set up by the "Sylvan Learning Center's" successful brand recognition !!! Thank you!
Stick with the theme already in place.
(The Silva Method Life) I like this.
So keep the theme going with
(The Silva Method Focus)
(The Silva Method Path)
(The Silva Method Student)
(The Silva Method Teacher)
(The Silva Method Universe)
I agree that "University" sounds a bit pretentious. "The Silva Club" sounds like the name of a music club. How about something simple? The Silva Center or perhaps The Silva Mind Center?
Silva Life
Silva Life Training
Silva Mind Training Life
Silva Life Training for the Mind
Silva Mind for Life
Just some more ideas
Here's a thought, University doesn't quite fit, institute sounds negative, and I agree that Silva Learning Center sounds too much like Sylvan Learning Center.
Best of Luck.
God Bless.
I prefer the name should be "Jose Silva's University for learning mind control".
I voted for "The Silva Learning Center", however after some other suggestions I believe "Silva Life Plan" is much more appropriate.
How about " La' Aura Center for Sylvain Studies?
I think the name should point towards continuous growth, not a start stop institution and something a little more serious than a club. People need a place to go to maintain momoentum after their initial training. I like the Silva Learning Center, with a slight adjustment. The Silva Continuous Learing Center so it guides new students to more training. A place students can go without being over-whelmed with conjested websites, but they know this is an area they can get quick direct help.
I chose 'Silva Learning Center' because it fits the description of your listed topics. However, after seeing the comment about how closely it is to 'Sylvan Learning' I must admit that it may be too close to it. Even though my vote is way out in front, the "Training" may be a better fit.
Tough call but for now I'll stay with my original because it does fit the material!
I have noticed that most people who have posted here are in someway, related to new age stuff. Can the folks at Silva clarify whether the Silva Method is really scientific in nature or is this all part of the new agey bandwagon as well.
I have been scammed with this "group" and I don't trust them anymore. I am looking for a program based on solid scientific proofs, not some mystical or paranormal theories.
Thanks,

What's wrong with The Silva Centre? It's short, easy to remember, and simple.
I am inclined to the Silva Club as one of the names listed if the focus is on members keeping in touch with each other and BELONGING in some way.
The University idea is already addressed by other Silva sites, and as other people have pointed out, the Silva Learning Centre is too similar to another name. Can you add a few extra names to the voting list? I don't think four gives a very good choice.
None of the names you provided appealed to me, but Judy Taylor's "Silva Life Institute" resounded powerfully for me. If I saw that name as a new person searching - it would tell me that it was worth further investigation.
I like "University" it sound more serious and a more advanced center for learning.
I like Silva Learning Center the best, but it may confuse those looking for "Sylvan" Learning Center. What about Silva Power Center?
Anything after the title "Silva Life" is just extra baggage, only because of the time it takes to digest the thought. It would be like towing an empty trailer behind the car all the time.
So try saying; "Silva Life Plan Centre" to yourself and feel if this vibration could also promote a gathering place for like minds.
I thing that as long as the title begings with Silva Life one can't go wrong. Ta Ta
The Silva Learning Center - looking forward to this site!
As the website:-
keeps in touch with instructors
gives access to historic audio
provides meditation center tools
makes data case studies available
Its main function seems to be access to information and information exchange, none of the suggestions seem to express this.
Maybe along the lines of THE SILVA ACADEMY? might be more appropriate.
club is short and is including evry thing : TRAINING, LEARNING AND NEWS
Hi there, All the name options are appropriate, however as we are all hear to learn this new way of life and how to bennefit our lives in the future, it is with great respect for this company that I voted for Silva learning center. Thank you and ejoy your dream life
The "Silva Learning Center" hit me the same way it hit some others. I immediately thought of "Sylvan Learning Center". The Silva community is more than a club, not really a university and "Training Center" sounds a little too technical and rigid. I thought of the old school "Sylva Method", but that doesn't seem to say enough about Sylva's far reaching benefits and influence. I could go with "Silva Life Center", or "Silva Life Institute", but I like Eddie's simple "Silva Life". The promotional name of the site would be "SilvaLife.com", which easily rolls off the tongue.
- The Silva Learning Center
a website, to learn how to improve our own life and the lifes of others
The Silva University is the name:-)
Thats because the name came to me before i saw the favorite name..
Thanks for inviting me to participate in voting. Based on the expected kind of activities such as keeping intouch with instructor and search, watch and download tools, cases and information, Silva Learning Center is most suitable and appropiate. It gives a more precise idea about the expected products and services and the corresponding level and quality.
Best regards
Jose A. Hernandez
I don't think any of the alternatives are particularly good, but liked the name "Silva Life", which was suggested above.
The name should be short and to the point (i.e. not The Silva Learning Center), and not pretentious (ie. not "University")
It has to be not only educational center, but something to attract people, to help them in their every day life, to give them Healing Power.
This was, as I understand, Jose Silva's wish and desire.
What about:
"SILVA ULTRA MIND HEALING POWER CENTER"
I have also chosen Silva Learning Center, as I believe that you KEEP ON learning. University is for me a place with an "endness." I do have to agree with the others concerning the Sylvan Learning Center. We, here in The Caribbean, do not remember this, as we only see that on TV. What about: http://www.lifebysilva.com, which depicts: according to, together with, through, beside; thus a continuous process.
Agape!
I vote for The Silva Mind Education-online.
Club, center (or centre?), institute, academy, university ... Isn't it all pretentious and tongue-breaking? How about old-fashion SCHOOL?
SILVA MIND POWER SCHOOL,
SILVA PERMANENT SCHOOL
SILVA'S EVERLASTING SCHOOL or simply
THE SILVA SCHOOL?
Everyone knows that school means the place to learn, as well as the certain way, method or doctrine. So, I vote for
THE SILVA SCHOOL!
Silva Training Center I like the most and then Silva Learning Center
Silva Learning center is the most appropriate name. My reasoning is that learning is a life long process and "The Silva Methode" is a life long system for success: Be it spiritual, Mental, social, economic, or physical success. It can all be had by practice through your learning center.
How about:
Silva Learning Network
Silva Mind Network
Silva Learning Community
I personally think it should be the "Silva Mind Training Center" or "Silva Mind Training Institute". I think it's important to specify what kind of training. I think you should definitely drop the Silva Learning Center since it is too closely worded the same as Sylvan....and also because it's not just a matter of learning the process; one has to actually train the mind. For some, old habits are hard to break! TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING!
I liked The Silva Learning Center best because it reflects what happens.
We learn. About ourselves, our lives and the universe around us.
Blessings!
It's more than learning, center or university. It's about life, healing, meditation and it spiritual connection. My view is, it does not matter.
What matters most is your mission, values and the purpose you trying to achieve.
Nice reading all the comments. I like Silva Learning Center best. It sounds authentic
I think that Silva University is more determinative. And Silva method is very generous in knowledge teaching.
I think training centre is best as a kid can belong to a club and this is for a mature mentality, university is for learning and learning centre well is for learning but you are showing us how to train our brains to release itself and to use what it has learnt
I prefer the name Silva Mind Healing.
Love Ib Copenhagen
Silva Learning Center. To dismiss this name just because it sounds close to Sylvan is ridiculous and shows how sloppy we can be, and how easily our minds are diverted, by just the similarity of sounding like! If any word need be added, Life would be appropriate. Silva Life Learning Center.
I believe the training of the mind, to make it powerful with the expansion of it's abilities through training, is not the ultimate goal of the Silva Method. This bringing forth of the hidden capabilities of the mind, through training,has it's ultimate goal in the living of life, intentionally, purposefully, joyfully. So, as we continue to access these tools, it seems the appropriate name would be Silva Life Learning Center (SLLC). Let it be Silva Learning Center. Thanks, I know I'm long winded!
Hi guys, I voted for Silva training Center but I also have an idea for you, why not ?!! lol !! What do you guys think about this : SILVA MIND EMPOWERING CENTER or SILVA EMPOWERING CENTER
Well, is just an idea !! Thankx
The 4 choices you give are really overused and shallow. No offense. How about going to level and using some creativity. Or hire a PR firm. Time to get in step with the 21st century. Some of the suggestions given above are good.
After many years, I am returning to take a refresher course. Back in 1972, I took this course (Silva Mind Control) with my Dad in Del Rio, Texas. He met Jose Silva and truly respected him. Dad taught and helped many people find their innate psychic talents, thanks to Silva's Mind Control.
Unfortunately, these days, I've avoided using the words "mind control" as it has negative connotations.
Considerations for the name:
The Silva Method Institute
The Silva Learning Institute (…Center is to close to the Sylvan…, and I feel you need to stay away from that name despite the fact that Silva Mind Control was around longer than the other.)
The Silva Method Training Centre
I like Luke’s The Silva Continuous Learning Centre
My thoughts...
Yes, I also mostly like the Silva Learning Centre.
But I also think, what's in a Name.... just Silva is also good.
I am from the Netherlands
i like silva training center because firat we are trained in a way that benifits or life. with what we learn we can then have a great life..
i did spell" first" and "our "incorrectly sorry better proof read first
SLC! No Doubt...Love it...sign me up...
I vote for a University. Because that's how is it fits for Silva, as my highest priority to learn, to own and to achieve and succeed! Better and Better! God Bless, all!
The Silva university is very appropriate ..every thing comes from the universe ... good luck with the choice
http://www.online.no
Very useful to have such a site! I prefer to call it Silva Training Center for myself because it makes it clear that I must do the training to improve!
Good luck with the silva method life
Just thinki L I F E .....Look Inside For Everything
By allowing Tarotnames to guide my Ego, IT (Tarotnames) determines the understanding of the title "Silva Life" the vibration and how Titles are received by the general public.
Definition discovered for Silva Life.
"The keywords are Good nature Individual, Understanding, A lover of Nature, Intelligent but need lots of Harmony and Sympathy. As a your real sweety, this reveals strong domestic qualities or the teaching professions, social workers or guidance counselor. There's not enough good help out there. These people usually choose this line of work for the love of doing it, and not for the material gains. If no one has thanked you lately, let me do it now. Thank you; your efforts are appreciated. If your sensitivities will not allow you to work in these fields then, caring for animals will take up most of your time. The desire to give comes with rewards and you love to flaunt your feathers like a proud peacock. Your acts are obvious, so, except the admiration as one would except an Oscar. False pride becomes boring."
I never determine any outcome IT does it for me.

A standard has been discovered for " life " lackhymen sp. sorry.
It really works if given a chance.
Hi!
Laura I found your story very interesting ,enlighting and refreshing.
The name which comes spontaneously is Silva means Silver Lining in Your Life.
Hi there...Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts ! it was a great Monday
Mr. Jose Silva, as a self educated man, would likely support the training apsect of mind development. He knew his mission was to TRAIN us to use our human intelligence via our our mind-brain complex to produce certain levels of awareness which was reflected by various brain wave frequencies. He taught via Mental TRAINING Techniques and Forumlae...As such The TRAINING CENTER best reflects the founders concepts.
