SilvaUltraMind System - The Largest Silva Mind Training Site on the World Wide Web - Discover a New Method to Control Your Mind by Jose Silva

"A research project conduct by Dr. George Maycock at Appalachian State University in North Carolina demonstrated that students who completed the Silva training showed a significant increase in creative and intuitive-functioning. Of the 30 students who participated, 25 showed gains in intuitive abilities. Four of the other five (who did not show improvement) were already functioning in a high intuitive mode before the training. Intuition is valuable for students- and for adults too. One researcher found that 70 percent of gifted or high-IQ students were predominantly intuitive, while only 39% of students in regular classes were intuitive."

"In a landmark research study, Cecelia A. Prediger of Nyack Junior High School, New York, documented for the first time the dramatic amount of total improvement, as measured by goals scored, that takes place when athletes combine mental
rehearsal and physical practice.
Studies by other researchers had demonstrated that mental practice at the Alpha level has almost as much benefit as the same amount of time spent in physical practice.
The study confirmed their research, and went on to show an electrifying increase in goals scored when the total practice time is divided equally between mental and physical practice."

"Basic Lecture Series participants moved toward patterns indicating greater acceptance of their own behavior and a decrease in self-criticism."

"How one feels about his or her identity is illustrated here. The Silva group learned to be far less critical and negative about themselves."

"Self-image is of great importance in social interaction. Improvement in this area correlates with the ability to deal with people more satisfactorily"

"This factor deals with an individual's total concept of "What I Am." BLS students learned to value themselves more highly."

"Basic Lecture Series participants perceived themselves as better able to get along with and care for members of their own families"

"Balance, integration of emotions, and harmony in personal affairs showed a significant improvement."

"Adherence to moral or ethical standards, and greater concern for the rights of others were perceived as greatly enhanced by the BLS, along with general self-esteem."

"There are many aspects to self-concept and self-image. An individual's self-conception is of critical importance in life. Psychological testing has confirmed the positive effects of the Basic Lecture Series on several characteristics of self-image.
Basic Lecture Series participants perceived themselves to be healthier than before the Silva Method classes and were more accepting of their appearance, behavior and stature."
