Best-Selling Author Shakti Gawain on the Silva Method
"One of the earliest workshops I took was the Silva Mind Control Course... The most important technique I learned in that course was the basic technique of creative visualization... Our rational mind is like a computer... The intuitive mind, on the other hand, seems to give access to an infinite supply of information. It appears to be able to tap into a deep storehouse of knowledge and wisdom..."
~ Shakti Gawain, author of numerous books, including "Creative Visualization" (Bantam Books, 1983)
How the Silva Method helped Richard Bach complete one of the Greatest Books of our Generation

"Best selling author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", Richard Bach, said in an interview in Harper's Bazaar magazine "It was the weirdest experience of my life. I was walking along one night, worrying about the rent money when I heard this voice say 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull'. But no one was there. I had absolutely no idea what it meant. When I went home, I suddenly had a visualization of a seagull flying along, and I began to write. I just put down what I saw. Richard Bach praised the Silva course publicly: "Mental discipline and creative visualization are what's behind the power of the Silva Method", he said in an article in Harper's Bazaar magazine. His book went on sell over a million copies and even made the cover of Time Magazine."
~ Richard Bach, Best-selling author of publishing phenomenon "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"
Author Richard Bach on How the Silva Method influenced his Life
"Richard Bach, Silva Mind Control graduate and author of one of the "hottest" books ever written, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, explains: "Creative visualization is really what's behind the Silva Method; that is, whatever you can visualize, you can actualize" That is putting it squarely on the line. It is putting teeth into the old saw, "What man can conceive, he can achieve." If you conceive of "a good day,"... Need I finish the sentence? Everything works better when you work; but objective work, as productive as it is, is not the only work you must do. You must also do subjective work using ten cycles per second to resonate with other minds and to get everything to work still better."
~ Richard Bach, author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" from United States
Three Fingers Technique to pass exams
"At 52 years old, Betty Davenport of Amarillo found herself needing to find a job. She had just come out of an abusive marriage with years of extremely limiting beliefs. She decided to use the Silva Method to change her self-image. She then wanted to become a Farmers Insurance Agent. She looked forward to having more control of her own life. Several people told her not to expect to pass the state licensing exam for insurance agents on the first try. She mentally said to herself "Cancel, cancel!". She used the Three Fingers Technique to study with concentration and memory. She passed the test the first time! Betty was a successful insurance agent until she retired."

Silva for business
""Jose Silva gave us the key. He told us, 'You work so hard to do all the things that you do. Why don't you use more form your neck up instead of down?' The results? We have completely circled the world three different times in three different routes. Our trips always pay for themselves and more, because of the way we program it.""

Silva to improve the business
""Last summer we were just about broke. Our photography business wasn't going well, we weren't making enough profit, and I thought we might go under. My wife Debbie enrolled in the next Silva course, and the rest is history. A year later, our company was named 'Franchise of the Year' by the home office.""
~ Chuck Warnock from North Carolina
Silva for business visualization
"My business income rose dramatically soon after taking the course. I had become a full-time investment broker with A.G. Edwards & Sons and was still maintaining my insurance business. The Silva course makes your 'strong points' stronger and can turn any weakness into a strength. It helps to unlock your mind and set it free to seek out the knowledge it needs to grow and perform efficiently for you."
~ Art Thomas from Michigan
Silva in real state

Then a friend got me into real estate sales. I started visualizing million-dollar sales. I told everybody I was selling million-dollar properties. Eventually I sold many million-dollar properties.""

""We find that we always get what we program for. Sometimes it takes longer than other times, but we always get it.""
~ Antonio Estrada and Joan McGillicuddy, Psychotherapists from Casa Grande, Arizona
"* Faced with the need to create a mechanism that would handle any combination of Mexican coins to activate the vending device, I would go to level each night after going to bed. I would then repeat the goal mentally, the device I needed ti invent, and the importance of achieving this goal. By going to level and programming in this way, I was reinforcing my desire, boosting it. By doing this just before going to sleep, I was exciting my imagination and activating my dreams. I knew I was getting somewhere because I began to have dream about nuts and bolts and machine parts. But these dreams did not seem to make sense. During the day I also felt some results. I found myself spending longer hours at the drawing board. But still the answers eluded me. I had a gut feeling that I should be doing something that I was not doing.
One day, my stepfather, seeing my frustration, suggested I work at a lathe. "Your hands will know what to do", he said. I took his advice. In a way, I thought then that this was outside the Mind Control Method. But today I realize that, when you program for answers to come, these answers can come through people, too. When I went to work on the lathe, and did something, that something led to something else. It was a better method than working on paper and asking the brain to understand gear rations, transmission speeds, and all of the other mechanical notions. As I began to work on the lather, i found that I was using the lathe as a gear. It is not supposed to be used as a gear. It moves to fast. It is the wrong shape. but as I worked with it as a gear, I began to see the application of an elongated gear- a linear gear. This become the primary part of the converter, the unit that enabled the coins to be released mechanically. This breakthrough was a lesson. Because we are mind and body, we have to involve our body as part of the creative process. We need to involve our body as part of the creative process. We need to move, perform and do. It was when I involved my body that my mind was able to show my hands what to do."

Silva helped me to solve problems while sleep
"The NDM Corporation, located in the Miami River in Dayton, Ohio, manufacturers machines used in the medical field and also develops plastics for use within the human body. Its president took the Silva Method training course, and decided to have all 550 employees trained. The training course started with eighty employees at a time, most of whom were at a management levels. In one oh the first classes was a chemist working to find a new plastic that the body would not reject and that could be used for arteries in bypass surgery. This chemist decided to use a Silva Method technique that puts the mind to work on a problem while you are asleep.
He awoke during the night with a vivid recollection of a dream about a formula. He wrote it down. When he examined the formula at the plant in the morning, it was almost identical to one he had already tried with negative results. "Why waste time", a colleague said, "we have already worked on that one". But he had a gut feeling that the small difference in the formula might make a difference. Over the objections of his colleague, he put together a sample, tested it, and it worked!"

Silva to solve murder
"Dean Wrikler, Kansas city, Missouri: He was driving his sport car when it slammed into a tree and rolled down into a gully so thick with brush that it was hidden from view according to a story in the Weekly World News. While Dean was unconscious in the wreck, his family searched for him for two days without success. Then they turned to a man whose name had known from the newspapers because he has helped the police solve several crimes - Randy Youmans, Silva Method Lecturer. Youmans went to his level, projected to Wrinkler by imagining him and proceeded to describe the crash scene in such a detail that rescuers were able to rush to the spot, just in time to save Wrinkler's life."

Silva to enhace the ability to solve problems
"Frederick J. Bremner, Ph.D and Susan D.C. Russo, M.A, both Neurophysiology Laboratory, Trinity University in San Antonio Texas: performed an experiment with ten volunteer university students. A simple information-processing task was given to the students via a computer-driven television-type screen. The computer screen presents the task. The student responds by pushing one of the five buttons. Another task is presented, then another faster and faster, until the student can no longer respond or misses the correct button twice in a row. It the flashes "End of session. Your score was (reaction time)" The students were prepared for this project by being given basic relaxation training, orientation on the procedures, and practice time on the information processing task. The result of the project are that controlled relaxation shows an increase in Alpha production. As the requirement to process information is initiated, the second hemisphere of the brain is activated. The differences in brain patterns between the two hemispheres begin to diminish as performance level increases. "Going to level," conclude the researches, "may be an important step in the enhancement of man's greatest asset - the ability to solve problems.""

Visualization
"During a session of the Silva Method lead by Mr. Silva, a registered nurse called Ruth helped to work on some health cases for the doctors in the class. She was a clairvoyant, which means she got information with mental images. The doctors came to the front of the room so that they could more easily ask Ruth questions and give feedback. Ruth did a super job, zooming right into the area of concern and sensing exactly the situation. Everyone was impressed, including the doctors.
One student in the class was specially impressed. He was from Oklahoma City and had driven to Houston in his new Porsche to take the class. He explained to our group that on the drive down he felt that something was not right with his car. He had taken it to the dealer in Houston and the mechanic told him that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Porsche. The auto's odometer showed less than 1,500 miles so the mechanic confidently stated it was too new to expect any problems. The man told us he wanted the nurse to work his Porsche as a case. Ruth wanted another person to work on the case because she did not know anything about cars. However, the student insisted for her to do it. Ruth accepted reluctantly and began focusing on the engine and used her hands to gesture that the object that she was attracted to was a round object similar to a skillet. On the top of this object, something coiled upward.
When Ruth was describing an spiral shape, the man with the Porsche said, " I think I know what she is talking about. I will take the car back to the dealer and ask the mechanic to check it out" . The next morning Mr Silva greeted the class, the Porsche owner held up his hand and reported that he had taken the car back to the dealer. He had asked the mechanic to replace a particular rotor. He said that the mechanic told him that he would, but that he thought it was a waste of money. The mechanic said, "We have never had to replace that particular part; however, we will do it if you insist." The owner continued, "When I went back to the dealer to pick up the car, the mechanic had a part to show me. It was was what I suspected when I heard the nurse work the case. The rotor was cracked, and the factory had made a mistake in not seeing the flaw." "The mechanic was intrigued and wanted to know how could I possibly have known that one part was the source of the trouble. I told him he might not believe me, because a nurse in a seminar had checked my car and she told me what was wrong! The mechanic was amazed, and then said, 'Do you have a class for mechanics' ""

"I have known the Silva Method for many years and lost track of it;sometime ago I wrote Laura Silva so that she helped me to obtain a proof that I had taken two of the courses with your teacher in Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
My story takes me to Venezuela because when I repeated the course in Venezuela I got to met a lady that I thought it would be my companion for life ; and as everyone knows its very difficult to bring someone to America even before the September 11 happenings.Anyway after I married her I begun to make all the papers needed to bring her to Puerto Rico legally. I made all papers hand written and made my own translations that usually is a no no.In four months time she and two of their children were legally living in Puerto Rico with me.I used the three finger technique and the glass of water as long as my visualizations."

Dreams come true
"I am an architect and artist - to make a very long story short, architecture was boring for me, very stressful and I was completely miserable while working in that profession. I decided to start an architectural illustration firm about a year and a half ago – and it has been very wonderful to build something up out of nothing, but something was still lacking. While I love art and am passionate about it, something in the creation of it just seemed selfish and empty to me. While it is fun for me to do, I felt that it wasn’t really doing anything to leave the world in a better place – and I would like to devote my entire life to that, including the time I spend earning a living. Help came in the form of the Silva Method. I stumbled across a book of his, “Sales Power, The Silva Mind Method,” while trying to figure out a better marketing strategy for my firm. The growth I have experienced within the past few weeks is exponential. I received insights that solved all of my inner dilemmas about the connection between art and helping others and I now have a clear sense of direction in my life as well as a much more profound sense of faith. For the first time in my life I can see results – and see them quickly.
I am now in the process of transforming my rendering business into a business that focuses on creating visualizations and dream boards for other people to use so that I can help them to manifest what they desire into their lives. Something in the Silva Method seems to have removed the blocks from deep in my subconscious that were preventing me from receiving the insight I needed to make my dreams come true… and helped me to clarify what my dreams actually were in the first place. It was the missing link in all of the work I had been doing to better myself over the years – the missing link to receiving guidance and being able to manifest things easily. Thanks to Jose Silva my ears are now open to receiving insight and I can manifest things quickly - sometimes even instantaneously. All I can say to Jose Silva and his family is thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

Goal setting and visualization
"I've known about Silva for a long time. I attended the 2 weekend seminar years ago. I have recently started to listening to the new Life System, with the idea of fully implementing the system and methods more fully than I ever had previously. The first thing I notice, now that I've started again, is that I feel less stressed and have more energy at the end of my day. That pays for the system all by itself, without my having gone far enough into the program to really implement the many techniques.
The thing that I learned about Silva from my past experiences is, when you know what you want, the techniques help you obtain it. Everybody knows that about goal setting and visualization, but Silva is a step-by-step process for doing that. It works. I once told a friend that I wanted to move to the state I now live in, and work at the job I now work in. He told me that was too specific a goal to be obtainable. It turns out it wasn't.
The other thing that amazes me about Silva, and that makes it one of the reasons I know I'll benefit more if I exert a little consistency and discipline, is that, during the weekend seminar years ago, I told someone my aunt's name, and the town she lived in, and that's all. A few minutes later, that woman told me my aunt has a prosthetic leg. And, that's true. She lost it in a car/horse accident as a teenager. So, even the most far-out stuff - the stuff I had to witness to believe - is real. There really is more to us than we know, and Silva is about knowing and using that."

"Changed My Whole Life"
"I am a girl from Bosnia and Herzegovina that had a chance to get something that changed my whole life, YOUR BOOK. Because I believe in [the human mind] it was [a] very interesting book for me to read. So it started. I graduated last year I started to look for a job. And I was very depressed because I could not find it and I tried to use Silva [for this] realization. [In] just two days I found [a]job. Because I have used creative visualization I imagined the whole scene (one cafe bar, tables, people inside, what I am wearing, what will happened). And [the] whole scene happened to me the same as I imagined I was very amazed. I could [even get] people with my subconsciousness to call me by phone, to look for me, to help me with something. Because I am a person that like to help others I tried to present my friends this amazing technique. And some of them did not want to beleieve in that even to try, some did. And those who did are very gratefull (because they solved some of their big problems in life) I fell that I am very rich with that valuable experience. And I am very proud of myself. I know that I am not alone. I helped my mom to become more stronger in her believes and work. My biggest wish is to attend a Silva seminar but there is no one in my country that offers it. So I am writing you this letter to thank you with all my heart. You changed my life and made me stronger. 'The 'Subconsciousness is the key of resolving all problems in ourselves and in others''. Very gratefull. Yours Minja!"

Silva for travelling
"Lucille V. King, as Silva lecturer in Idaho, reported that on time when she was traveling, the airport was fogged in. She went to level and spoke to the fog and said "Lift!" She explained "Moments later the captain came over the intercom with the words "The fog has lifted and we are taking off." Above the clouds a moment or so later the pilot reported, "Spokane Airport fogged in again!"""

Silva helped me to be at the right place in the right time and meet the right people
"I learned from the Silva Method through a medical doctor who attended several Silva Seminars in 2006. Since March 2007 I am regularly reading the Silva News and applying the Silva Techniques through the
Free Silva UltraMind Online Training Program.
I am surprised how much my life and career changed since then. When regularly applying the basic
Silva-techniques (especially lesson 4 Visualization &
Affirmation) I realized that I always manage to be at the right place at the right time and meet the right people to perform brilliantly and to become a successful happy person again.
Already after Lesson 8 I decided not to pursue my old reward less and frustrating job, started a new education in natural medicine, recently succeeded the final exams in the top 10% of class.
I realized that I am no more the average performance person but that I can achieve excellent results by controlling my mental states (concentration /relaxation) voluntarily. I am currently establishing my new business with lots of success without advertising. I know that I am attracting the right clients by power of will. I even noticed my positive influence on family members and friends. I am much more positive.
I stopped my bad habit of procrastination and became very motivated and thus turning my life into a joyful rewarding one."

Silva improved my life
"First of all thank you Laura for being my personal coach, thanks you for the free lessons and thank you for being patient with me.
I am using the silva system for a the following reasons: to meditate more and often so I can be more intuitive, imaginative and creative;
to improve my visualization;
to be able to focus and be centered;
to heal myself and others, my plants and pets, my car and other things if needed or called for;
to be able to know how I can detect what may be wrong with my patients ( I am a family nurse practitioner) and how I can solve their issues or abnormalities;
to make decisions and choices intuitively;
to put an end to my limiting beliefs;
to keep my strengthened faith and the list will go on.
Since using the silva system, I am now more mindful of what's going on within me and around me. I am now keeping tabs of my little/big successes that occurred because of my faith and increased intuition and my failures because I did not listen to that small voice within me.
There are too many to mention but allow me to entertain you.
Last month I was invited to a friend's graduation party. The attire is western- it was not required but would be appreciated. I don't own a cowboy/girl boots or shirt or hat and I did not really want to spend on somethings that I probably won't wear again so I asked for divine assistance. One week before the party, I thought of picking up my 90 year old aunt from her assisted living apartment to take her to a second hand store where she enjoys going. While in the store, I thought of going to the shoe department and there it was- the only pair of western boots that's my size and color, look new for $8.00. One day before the party and I still don't have the shirt to go with my pants and boots. I prayed again and was led to walmart where I could not find the shirt in the women's dept and the ones in the men's dept are way too big. I saw a sales lady and asked for help. She took me to the boy's dept and I got 3 shirts that fit me well for $3.00 each. A few hours before the party, I don't have a hat and somebody to go with. I did not pray this time, I was just excited to go to the party. Since I still have time, I went for a walk with my 2 poodles. While walking, my cell phone rang and it's my friend Jon. I mentioned the party to him 2 weeks prior to, invited him but he was not sure he could go. Anyway he asked me if he can go and I said jokingly " sure, only if you have a hat for me" He asked," what color do you want?" I had a great time at the party and had people telling me how beautiful and becoming I look in my western attire. By the way, my sister who was at the party lost one of her earrings. She told me and right away I prayed for her to find it. Good luck, right? because there were lots of people in the club, lots of table, huge place and with all the dancing we did, who knows where to look for the earring. I did not get up to help look for it but some of our friends did. I had this feeling that she'll find it. A few minutes later, she came back to where I was and told me she found it. I am sure she said a little prayer too. The earring was a gift from her kids on mother's day. Ok, got to ask for a horse now, no not really. I just might get what i ask for. I hope I did not bore you with my story. I do have a few more but I got to get my zzzzzzzs. Thanks again
Definitely, absolutely will recommend it because it works.
Excellent system, excellent products, excellent coach- Laura."
