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 :).
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!
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

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.

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.
