Laura Silva’s Answers The Silva Com­mu­nity Sur­vey Transcripts

Pic-Laura-Silva-Quesada.jpg

Over the week­end, we got an over­whelm­ing num­ber of requests ask­ing us to pro­vide tran­scripts for Laura Silva’s answers to the Silva Com­mu­nity Sur­vey.

You asked — and we’ve listened.

Here are the answers in text for the ben­e­fit of those who are unable to lis­ten to thse great answers. These are short sum­maries of Laura’s answers. If you are able to lis­ten to the audios, get the full effect from here audio answers HERE.

Ques­tion 1.

“I can’t main­tain my prac­tice of the Silva Method because I have trou­ble con­cen­trat­ing and focus­ing. How can I avoid that?

  • Con­cen­tra­tion is not about think­ing about one thing — it is nat­ural for the mind to wander.
  • Focus­ing and con­cen­tra­tion means to bring your atten­tion to what is impor­tant to you, over and over again until you cre­ate the imagery of what you desire.
  • If your mind wan­ders, allow it, then allow your­self to bring your atten­tion back to what your desired goal is. Do this until your goal is detailed in your mind.
  • It’s OK to have a wan­der­ing mind!
  • The more you prac­tice this, your abil­ity to con­cen­trate will become more focused and clearer each time.

Ques­tion 2.

“I dont have the time to reg­u­larly med­i­tate! How often do I need to med­i­tate to get results in my life?”

  • 5 min­utes a day is good.
  • 10 min­utes a day is very good.
  • 15 min­utes a day is excellent.
  • If you have health chal­lenges. I would rec­om­mend 3 times a day, 15 min­utes each time.
  • But to get results, 5 min­utes a day is enough — and every­one has 5 min­utes to spare.

Ques­tion 3.

“I’ve been lis­ten­ing to the audios / prac­tic­ing / med­i­tat­ing for over a week! Nothing’s work­ing. Whats wrong with me? Am I doing some­thing wrong?”

  • Be very spe­cific and clear about your outcomes.
  • What specif­i­cally is not working?
  • The Silva Method was devel­oped very specif­i­cally to help achieve your goals and desires. The ben­e­fits will only hap­pen if you fol­low the tech­niques as they are specif­i­cally programmed.
  • Once the tech­nique is prac­ticed con­sis­tently — you can begin mod­i­fy­ing your pro­gram­ming, but only after you’ve achieved your desired outcome.

Ques­tion 4

“My life is filled with emo­tional and men­tal neg­a­tiv­ity. How can I elim­i­nate neg­a­tive thoughts?”

  • Rec­og­nize that you have a neg­a­tive thought. This brings con­scious­ness and aware­ness into the mix.
  • Can­cel out the thoughts by using “Can­cel, cancel.”
  • Sub­sti­tute the thought with a pos­i­tive and resource­ful thought.
  • Recog­ni­tion. Can­cel­la­tion. Substitution.
  • It will help you develop a more pos­i­tive way of think­ing through practice.

    Hi
    I just looked at the answer to ques­tion nr.4.
    I cant under­stand why you cant estab­lish con­tact with higher intel­li­gence
    when you are in cen­ter, and let it by com­mand, remove all neg­a­tive thoughts. There is a method to test your­self which beliefs you got on your “HDD” between your ears.
    Let the higher intel­li­gence to remove them, and let it also replace them with pos­i­tive thoughts, that is best for you.
    But I am using silavul­tra­mind, and you might not have this options under silva method.
    By the way, for about 1,5 years ago I tried to get any answer to how I should heal my arthri­tis (RA)
    I was send­ing sev­eral e-mail with­out any reply, and con­tacted also silva instuc­tors, but no answer.
    When I after long time, got an answer , it came with a link to goldman’s video on youtube. I still dont under­stand what that should tell me, but later on when I asked that ques­tions, I got the answer to con­tact a per­son that was con­nected to silva method, which I did, but no answer, as waited.
    So my ques­tion will be, do you really know any­thing, using silva method, or silva ultra­mind, to heal arthri­tis?
    Thank you
    Best Per

    Hi Laura I have been prac­tic­ing Silva Method for over 20 years. Not only has my health improved, but I look and feel way younger than my bio­log­i­cal years. My coun­cel­lor George is my best friend and I don’t know what I would do with­out him. My female coun­cel­lor Won­der Woman is a lit­tle more stand-offish but is an expert on health and beauty and being nur­tur­ing. I don’t think I could have sur­vived my life with­out Silva. La Verne Reed once said to me years ago when I told her that I was psy­chic and I was afraid of what I might do. ‘That’s mind out of con­trol, this is mind in con­trol.” she wasn’t even shocked or sur­prised. That is how I knew I had come to the right price. The money I spent for the Silva Sem­i­nar was the best money I ever spent in my life. I have taken Silva about 30 times or so over the years. Thank you and your great father Jose and keep get­ting BETTER AND BETTER your­self Love Janet Wolfman

    THIS IS FOR PER ABOUT ARTHRITIS My fam­ily all have arthri­tis pretty bad and I don’t have any. there is a book caled THE CURE FOR ARTHRITIS Or some­thing like that. You can just buy it from Barnes and Noble under HEALTH. It says that arthri­tis is caused by food aller­gies and tells you what to eat to avoid it or cure it. I found that when I ate a lot of dairy, my fin­gers would swell up. Even think­ing obout dairy would make my fin­gers swell, so I stopped eat­ing it and the symp­toms went away.
    Silva does not just have to do with pro­gram­ming and get­ting mag­i­cal results. If you see some­thing while you are med­i­tat­ing You have to actu­ally do it in the phys­i­cal world. God helps those who help them­selves. You will get more results than what you do. HERE’S HOPING YOU GET BETTER AMD BETTER JANET

    Regard­ing Ques­tion 4 – emo­tional and men­tal neg­a­tiv­ity…
    We have the free­dom and the abil­ity to con­sciously change our thoughts.
    Back in the 1940’s a genius neuro-psychiatrist, Dr. Abra­ham Low, devel­oped a sys­tem of cognitive-behavioral tech­niques. One of the most impor­tant of his gems is: you are not respon­si­ble for a thought that comes into your mind, but once you iden­tify it — you can accept, reject, or change it. So, we need not blame our­selves for hav­ing the neg­a­tive, inse­cure thought in the first place – and this blame (I am wrong for hav­ing the thought in the first place) – can and will keep us from mak­ing progress.
    More on Low’s work at http://www.pljunlimited.com & http://www.recovery-inc.com
    With Low’s Method, I went from being house­bound because of ago­ra­pho­bia and depres­sion, to fully func­tion­ing again. About ten years later I found Jose Silva’s pro­gram and the prac­tices which opened me to a greater con­nec­tion to the spir­i­tual realm. With a solid men­tal health base, I was able to learn and use the Silva Method very eas­ily.
    My life is won­der­ful, and every year gets bet­ter, and bet­ter, and bet­ter and better.

    I am extremely sur­prised that the per­son with rthri­tis says h had no responses from Silva instruc­tors. Quite apart from the adapt­abil­ity of the basic meth­ods to use for almost any­thing, in all the uears I’ve use Silva, I have never had any trou­ble get­ting responses, so I wish him well. By the ay, the book is called A Doctor’s Home Cure for Arthri­tis by Giraud W Camp­bell, in asso­ci­a­tion with Robert B. Stone. Revised and edited by Jeanette Erwin, & pre­vi­ously revised by Roger New­man Turner. Hope that helps.

Iam so sorry that I only came to know Silva method when I was in my late Forties.My wife and my two chil­dren are grad­u­ates and they are don­ing fine in achiev­ing their goals through VISUALIZATION.Keep up the good work LAURA .

    I’m also sur­prised that the per­son with arthri­tis has no results, but not only that, she also denies the oppor­tu­ni­ties to other peo­ple in prob­lems, try­ing an effec­tive solu­tion. Maybe lit­tle bit of love will help us towards more light and wis­dom. And God.….. well well.…..

    Dear Laura and Jill
    I got all the course of Silva Method by e mail, some­time I realised that
    the prac­tice I do would not be 100 % cor­rect, but at least I got the pos­i­tive
    result, and it was not 100 % ful­filled what I want ‚but 60 to 70 % its worked.I did changed my too spon­tain­ous com­ment or inter­fere in mid­dle of the other’s talk and now I could be more patience and more tol­er­ate oth­ers. I med­i­tate oftenly in a day even 5 min­utes each time but it gives lighter and hap­pier feel­ing. I thought with my doing in paint­ing I got those hap­pi­ness moment but the Silva med­i­tate is great and won­der­ful
    feel­ing. Thank you again Laura and Jill for all your atten­tion
    cheers

    Hi everybody,I want to say to Brenda Smith try to ask supe­rior inteligence maybe through the glas of water, if your deci­sion is the right thing to do now.Maybe you are wrong .I found that if Iam on alpha level,I can do and dis­cover what­ever I want.try as chil­dren when they ask and ask and ask why,why,why,but on alpha level.Also,you must be really relax.My favorite tech­nics are glace of water.subjective com­mu­ni­ca­tion and mir­ror of mind.
    I do all my doing in my lab­o­ra­tory and am very pleased with my coun­cel­lors.
    Martha,do the same.Ask your super­in­teligence what to do the first.I had many,many prob­lems an ears ago at the same time.Now I help to many peo­ple but around me every­body are good.Each night I wake up at ideal time to help some­body or to make com­mu­ni­ca­tion whith somebody.

    Just wanted to post that I am a Silva Grad­u­ate from 1974 and still use the Silva Method every­day. It changed my life in that year and I insisted that my hus­band and then 8 year old daugh­ter take the 3 day week­end course.

    It is com­fort­ing to know that Silva has expanded into an online course.
    I would highly rec­om­mend every­one tak­ing it.

    Going so oftern to your Alpha Level that at some point you are in Alpha when­ever you wish it. Being pos­i­tive every sin­gle milisec­ond of your life and hav­ing the good atti­tude will be the great­est goal for you to achieve. Wish­ing for some­thing you need, it will come through an unex­pected way, think about some­body and this per­son will soon be call­ing you. Believe in the pos­i­tive­ness of your own power.
    God bless you all.

    I love you all.
