It might have been his intuition that first guided Jose Silva to recognize the value of the 10 cycles per second alpha brain wave frequency, but he soon found more scientific evidence to support his belief that it is extremely valuable.
Here is what he had to say about it:
Alpha functioning, by Jose Silva
When a person is taught to function at the correct brain frequency, the brain frequency that has been named "alpha" by scientists, the person can use the right brain hemisphere to be healthier, happier, and more successful.
Alpha covers a range between 7 and 14 cycles or Hertz per second - the vibration of the electrical energy of the brain. The center of Alpha would then be 10.5, but it is known as Alpha 10 cycles or Hertz per second.
Another area where this 10 Hertz Alpha is mentioned is in Astronomy. It has been said that the space formed between the earth and the ionosphere forms a resonating cavity pulsing magnetically at 10 Hertz per second. This magnetic pulsing energy is now considered a fundamental universal life producing energy.
In the human brain we find electricity, magnetism and chemistry. Experiments conducted with the 10 Hertz magnetic field has been proven to excite, to stimulate the atomic particles in matter.
When a person has learned to function consciously at a brain frequency of 10 Hertz, that person is in harmony with the universal energy in space.
When a person is in resonance with the universal energy in space, subatomic particles in the person's body chemistry are being stimulated, excited.
This excitation is passed on to the immune system who controls body chemistry, strengthening the immune system.
A person staying in harmony with universal energy for 15 minutes a day is therapeutic and healthy. When this is done it will maintain a person in good health.
When a person is sick, depending on the seriousness of the problem, one, two, and even three 15-minute sessions of mental exercises may be advised for healing.
Using the subconscious consciously
When a person is consciously functioning at 10 Hertz, at that time that person, beside being in resonance with universal energy, strengthening the immune system, that person can also use the information stored in the subconscious consciously.
Each brain hemisphere has a set of senses:
*The left has set of objective, physical, biological senses.
*The right has a set of subjective, spiritual senses.
The objective senses detect information and records it on the left brain hemisphere and records a duplicate in the right brain hemisphere.
The subjective senses sense information and records it on the right brain hemisphere, but no duplicate is transferred to the left brain hemisphere. This indicates that there is bound to be more problem solving information in the right brain than in the left.
People without the Silva Method training cannot use the information stored in the right brain, they consider that information to be in the subconscious.
Those who have learned to function consciously at 10 Hertz call that dimension the inner conscious, and they can use the information stored in the right brain hemisphere because for them it is not subconscious, meaning it is not beyond their reach.
This means that the right brain thinker has more information at his disposal for problem solving. A successful person is one who solves more problems and information is needed in problem solving.
The Silva Method is the instrument that helps humanity to transcend genius intelligence and move into the second phase of human development on this planet.
The Silva Method, Silva Life System and Silva Intuition Training - sharing these is a joy. It's so uplifting and rewarding to see people learn the skills and techniques, apply them in their lives and increase their fulfillment and happiness. I am privileged to work with Silva Graduates in a coaching relationship.

Think With the Right Brain Hemisphere and Act With the Left
This article has some of Jose Silva’s reflections as one year came to an end and a new year began.
He saw what he usually saw: That the 90 percent of humanity who only think with the left brain hemisphere, are causing more problems than the 10 percent who think with the right brain hemisphere and act with the left, can correct.
by JOSE SILVA
Many people like to take time out at the beginning of the new year to pray for peace on earth.
There are new age groups that meditate on peace on earth. A lot of Silva Method graduates pray for it.
We certainly need it.
Look wherever you like, and you will see problems:
*People trying to destroy whole races in the name of the creator.
*Governments treating their citizens like property to be used at their pleasure and then disposed of.
*Politicians who fight any idea from the opposing party no matter how good the idea might be for the citizens.
*Businesses taking advantage of every possible loophole - and even resorting to dishonesty and sabotage of their competitors - in order to improve the "bottom line."
*Individuals hoping to "get rich quick" through any means possible, from lawsuits against corporations with "deep pockets" to gambling to fraud and theft whenever they think they can get away with it.
It is not all bad, of course. There are still people out there - and businesses and governments - that care about other people, who care about the effect that their actions have on other people, and who try to do what they honestly believe is best for all concerned.
A NEW WAY
These problems are taking their toll. This has been recognized by individuals, by businesses, and by governments.
And this has spawned a whole new industry -an industry involved with "reinvention."
There are business guru's who want to help us "reinvent" business. And others who want to help us "reinvent" government.
They boast whenever they manage to get someone to do the right thing, the thing that is best for all concerned.
*A politician goes on national television and boasts about how he got a government agency to stop paying 100 times more for some product than it is worth!
*An officer of a corporation writes a best selling book about how his company has started to actually provide satisfactory service to its customers!
*It is headline news nationwide when somebody returns a valuable item that they found to its owner!
DIFFERENT VALUES
Thirty years ago in the United States a guru was a spiritual person who dedicated his or her life to helping people and uplifting the human spirit.
Now when you mention "guru" people want to know the title of his latest book, and what method he uses to help businesses be more competitive in the '90s.
And the new style of guru obliges. He comes up with new models for operating a business. You flatted out the organizational chart, or "empower" employees, or actually listen to your customers!
A BETTER PLAN
As we begin this new year, I'd like to suggest another way to go about correcting our problems and bringing peace to the planet.
It is not the institutions that are at fault.
*Not government.
*Not business.
*Not politicians.
*Not lawyers.
Institutions are run by people. Decisions are made by people. Actions are taken by people.
If we make a better person, then the institutions will automatically be better.
They will function more efficiently. They will serve people better. We will all be happier and better off.
If we can somehow convince people to work for the common good, to do what is best for all concerned, then we will all be better off.
I am not saying that you should not stand up for what you believe in. You should fight for what you believe is right.
At the same time, you should realize that different people have different goals. They may have needs that are different from yours.
RESPECT EVERYONE
Some people may want to worship in a different way than you do.
Let them!
Have you ever noticed that the people who start wars are the people with little minds who cannot conceive of anyone else being right except for themselves?
The people who say, "I believe I have found the correct answer, but I respect your right to differ with me," do not start wars.
It is the people who say, "My way is the only way." They are the ones who start wars.
It amazes me that the people who claim to be the most religious, those who profess their strong belief in their religion, are usually the ones who show the most disrespect for the creator's greatest creation: other human beings.
Rather than supporting people and respecting their ideas and helping them to live productive, happy lives - they condemn them because their ideas about the creator are different.
Most wars are started by people who are so narrow-minded - who have such little minds - that they cannot accept the fact that might not know everything there is to know.
These little-minded people act like they are some kind of god, with the right to tell everybody else how to live and how to believe and how to pray.
In order to have peace on this planet, we must learn to respect everyone. We must respect each other's right to do as we choose, so long as we are not harming anyone else.
HOW TO PROGRAM
We are not going to bring peace to the planet just by wishing for it.
We are not going to correct the problems that face us by "reinventing" business and government.
All of the cute slogans that the guru's write about in their books and say so eloquently on their tapes may feel good for a moment, but they are not going to change the basic problems facing humanity today.
Those problems deal with humans...with people.
To make a better world, we need to make a better person.
Fortunately, there is a way to do that.
The people who correct the most problems, who bring the greatest benefits to humanity, are the people who do their thinking at the alpha brain wave level, where they can use their intuitive and creative right brain hemisphere to think with.
With your right brain hemisphere, you can get more information than you can from the left hemisphere alone. You can sense information intuitively that is not available to your physical senses. This will help you make better decisions.
The alpha brain wave level is the ideal level to think at, the ideal level for decision making.
When all people on the planet learn how to use the alpha level to think with, to get information and make decisions, then our institutions will work properly, nations will live in peace with each other, and we will actually have a paradise on earth.
At the alpha level, it is easier to determine what our purpose is in life. It is easier to understand and respect other people.
Those people who speak hateful words, who condemn others simply for being different, are not alpha thinkers. They are losers. They deserve our pity. We should try to help them, by showing them how to use both brain hemispheres to think with.
Teaching all of the 5 billion people on the planet to learn how to center themselves at alpha is too big a job for one person. It will take all of us, working together, to get the job done.
If you have children between the ages of seven and fourteen, then teach them to use visualization and imagination. Teach them to use their intuition. Just ask them to do it, and praise them every time they are correct.
If you do that, they will grow up with the ability to function at alpha whenever they desire. If you have questions about it, contact your local Silva Method lecturer, or contact us here in Laredo. We have written a book, and are putting together a home study course, to help parents help their children.
People older than fourteen need to take the Silva Method training to regain the ability to function at alpha.
It can be done. It should be done. I believe that it must be done if we are to have peace on our planet.
And I believe that when we do this, when everyone can - and does - function at alpha, then we will have a paradise one earth.
Please be sure to check in at our online alumni association clubhouse from time to time - www.SIGA.org - and take advantage of the resources available there. Thank you.

Spiritual Cleansing For Astral Success – Special Chakra Training
Taken from a post on "The Art of Astral Projection" blog
by Astral Projection Team
Your car limps along on a dirty engine, and your physical body risks death when your arteries are clogged. These are two great ways to illustrate one very important thing to remember when it comes to 'operating' your astral body. If you want your astral body working at full capacity, then you want to be sure its engine (the chakra system) is working like a well-oiled machine.
Blocks in your chakras amount to a weak and unbalanced system. When this happens, you can't raise your kundalini. And if you can't raise your kundalini, you can't power your astral body.
Spiritual cleansing the chakra system is what we're talking about. In this audio, Steve G. Jones explains the energies related to each of the chakras and the importance of keeping them open and clear.
Go to http://www.theartofastralprojection.com/blog/special-chakra-training to hear the talk that accompanies this post. It's worth your time.
Now, if you're ready for a powerful spiritual cleanse of your chakras, it's time to meet Carol Tuttle. Carol is a Master Energy Healer who specialises in cleaning up the chakras. She'll be doing an online training this Tuesday, giving you simple, hands-on tools to cleanse and activate your own chakra system.
For more information on this free training with Carol, go here.
Here's a few highlights of the training:
1. Get to know your Chakras
What would your Chakras say if they were sufficiently opened and energized? Here you’ll learn how to understand the nature of your Chakras, so you can recognize when they’re in an optimal state and work on them accordingly.
2. Connect your Chakras
Your Chakras work best when they’re energetically communicating with each other. Here you’ll learn a few simple steps to connect them so they can start working efficiently together.
3. Activate your Psychic Compass
Your Third Eye Chakra holds the key to your inherent intuition, creativity and psychic ability. Here you’ll learn a potent exercise to open it, so you can start enjoying a life enriched by powerful and reliable psychic guidance.
4. The energy of Money Shift
Learn why your current perception and energy of money may be unsuitable for today’s economic climate, and what you must do to shift it so you and your family can prosper and contribute.
5. The energy of Money Meditation
Join Carol on a guided meditation to open your 4th Chakra, and shift your energy of money into one suitable for the world’s current economic situation. You’ll shake off any feeling of financial helplessness, and find yourself empowered to make more and contribute more for your society.
6. The Tools of the Trade
Chakra Healing is practiced using a vast variety of healing modalities. Here you’ll learn about some of the most widely used ones, including meditation, yoga, gemstone therapy, visualization and breathing techniques, and how they can fit into your personal practice.

Can You Turn One Red Paper Clip Into a House? YES
Can you turn a paper clip into a house?
Yes, this is a 'trick question' similar to: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
Take a few minutes to watch this video and you'll see that this young man did exactly turn a paper clip into a house...not by 'magic' but my desire, intention, focus, belief and expectancy. Let's don't forget action too!
I'd love to have a conversation with you about HOW his situation mirrors using Silva techniques and follow through.
What are you going to manifest in 2011?

Alpha All The Time?
Often when talking to students of The Silva Method as well as other pursuits, I'm asked how to stay in alpha all the time. My answer is always "It's not necessary or appropriate to be in alpha all the time." The following article from SIGA is on this very topic. Let's listen to Jose's thoughts on the subject:
Sometimes people ask us how they can remain at the alpha level all day.
We explain that they can learn to have alpha functioning at any time in order to detect information, make decisions, and correct problems.
Once we have obtained the information and made our decisions and correct problems mentally, then we need to use the 20 cycles per second beta frequency and get into action in order to manifest the solution in the physical dimension.
Here is the way that Jose Silva saw it:
by Jose Silva
Success is not for the timid. It is for those who seek guidance, make decisions, and take decisive action.
Many people learn how to program very effectively, and often they are able to get those things that they program for. Yet they still find their lives limited and unfulfilled.
Other people are very creative, and come up with many excellent ideas, yet never seem to achieve very much, or make money from their ideas, or help anybody with those ideas.
You find all kinds of people. There are those who are excellent at research, at digging out the facts, yet they never determine what to do with those things that they learn.
Some people are so paralyzed by indecision that they literally become nervous wrecks.
To achieve success - and by success I mean whatever you determine success to be for you - you must take appropriate action, for wishing does not make it so. Proper programming, coupled with appropriate action, makes things happen.
HOW TO PROCEED
Let's take it step by step.
First, seek guidance. You do this by entering your level, functioning in the subjective dimension where prayers are effective, where you can make contact with High Intelligence. Consider your qualifications, what you like, the things you are good at. Then ask what you should do to serve, how you can help the Creator. Be aware of your strong points, but do not limit yourself; expect creative guidance.
Then clear your mind; expect an answer. Some people spend all their time asking and talking. You must be a good listener. If necessary, use your Glass of Water Technique to obtain guidance. The guidance will come. Then you are ready for the second step.
Second, you decide how to fulfill your purpose in life. This involves both time at level, and action in the physical world. You must program for success, and you must also start doing something.
Some people want to wait until they are perfect before they are ready to fulfill their missions. This is a mistake. If you were perfect, you would not be here in this classroom called Earth. This is our training ground - on-the-job training.
It is very important to learn all you can while you are here. And it is important to love, and to express your love, to other humans on this planet. Learning how to interact better in relationships with other humans is something very important while we are here.
We have a choice about our relationships with others. We can compete, or we can cooperate. Throughout the world, many people are competing -- often with guns and bombs. It is important that we change this, and help bring peace to our planet.

Success Using the Silva Method
Certain principles apply to achieving success with all of the techniques in the Silva Method.
There are seminars and home study courses to help you in every area of your life, from health and relationships to business and learning and sports and more.
Common factors that are necessary for success with all of the techniques, in all areas of life, are:
Functioning at the alpha level, and
using visualization and
imagination.
Fortunately, Jose Silva did not have good visualization...Most people don't.
Our research indicates that about 10 percent of people have good mental images spontaneously when they think of something. Another 10 percent can quickly create a mental image when they think of something.
The rest of us have to take time to recall what the object looks like. If you have completed the Silva Method Basic Lecture Series or the Silva UltraMind ESP System, then you have gone through the process that Jose Silva and most of us go through. (blogger's note: this also would include the Silva Life System and Intuition Training)
Remember in the Projection to Human Anatomy Conditioning, your instructor asks you to recall someone you know very well, whose face you can recall with the least effort. Then you are instructed to recall the person's features, one by one: The hair, the forehead, the skin tone, the eyes, the cheeks, the character of the face. Have you ever wondered: If this is someone whose face I can recall with the least effort, then why do I need to recall all of those details?
Because most of us - 80 percent of us - need to recall those details, to recall what the person looks like, in order to visualize the person.
Most of the ultra successful people who write the "success books" are among the 10 percent who are great natural visualizers. The problem is: They assume that all the rest of us function the same way they do.
Fortunately, Jose Silva functioned like most of us do, so he understood what is necessary in order to achieve success with our programming in the subjective dimension.
The most important factor is the first one we mentioned: Functioning at the alpha level. You can learn that by practicing the Silva Centering Exercise with the procedures that Juan Silva recommends in his great article on Deepening in the Guidance for Grads section of the SIGA.org web site.
Once at your level, you can use visualization and imagination to program to correct problems and improve conditions...provided that you use visualization and imagination at the alpha level. That's the real key to success.
Here is an article from Jose Silva about using these important and valuable tools.
Silva Method techniques will bring about changes for the better in every area of your life: health, relationships, business, learning, self-confidence - anything you desire to change.
Why do they work so well? What mechanisms are involved in making these changes?
The key is functioning in the subjective (mental) dimension. When you enter your level, you are then functioning in the invisible world of the mind, and you are able to make changes in the visible world of the body.
The tools of the subjective dimension are visualization and imagination. They are two faculties of genius.
Let's take a close look at these tools so you will understand exactly what they are and how to use them in the spiritual dimension to make the needed changes.
Remember that it is important to use visualization and imagination in the subjective dimension, that is, at your level. Many books tell you to visualize your goals, but if they do not teach you a method for doing so in the subjective dimension, then this will do you little good.
Visualization is memory. Visualization is remembering what something looks like. Visualization is a receiving mechanism. In the subjective dimension, you receive a mental image of what something looks like.
If your mental image is not as clear as you would like it, simply recall what the subject looks like. Recalling what something looks like is visualization. Recall the details and the colors.
Imagination is a creative process. With imagination, you create a mental image of something you have not seen previously. With imagination, you create whatever you desire.
When you create something in the subjective dimension, with your imagination, then it actually exists - in the subjective dimension - and can be perceived by other people when they are functioning in the subjective dimension.
Everything must first be created in the subjective dimension; then it can manifest in the physical (objective) dimension also.
Imagination is a transmitting mechanism. With imagination, you can transmit your desired end result to the physical dimension.
There is no time or space in the subjective dimension. When you create something, it exists as of that moment. But the physical dimension does have time and space, so it may take time before your desires manifest in physics.
Visualization is the receiving mechanism, imagination is the transmitting mechanism. How do you put these to use?
You can use the 3-Scenes Technique or the Mirror of the Mind Technique.
For the 3-Scenes Technique, use visualization to receive (recall) a metal image of the situation as it exists now, the problem. Then go to the 2nd Scene, to your left (towards the future in the subjective dimension) and visualize whatever you are doing to correct the problem. Then with your imagination, create and transmit to the physical dimension the desired end result, your goal, in the 3rd scene, farthest to your left.
With the Mirror of the Mind, use visualization to receive (recall) a metal image of the situation as it exists now, the problem, in the blue framed mirror. Then erase the problem image, move the mirror to your left (the future in the subjective dimension) and change the frame to white - and with your imagination create and transmit an image of the solution to the physical dimension the desired end result, your goal.
Use this same technique to create better health, better relationships, a better job or increased business, better grades, any traits or characteristics you desire for yourself - anything at all that you want to have, to do, or to be.
You can use the same technique to help other people. First, recall (receive information) about the existing situation (the problem), then use your imagination to create a solution (goal) and transmit it to the physical dimension. Just be certain you do your programming in the subjective dimension, while at your level.
In the future, when you think of your project, visualize (recall) the goal you created with your imagination in the subjective dimension. Take it for granted that the solution already exists, and is being transmitted to the physical dimension so it can manifest in the physical world-of-the-body dimension.
This is what is meant by the phrase "Pray believing you have already received." Our way of saying it is to "Program in the future in a past tense sense."
Take it for granted, and you will get your results.

There are seminars and home study courses to help you in every area of your life, from health and relationships to business and learning and sports and more.
Common factors that are necessary for success with all of the techniques, in all areas of life, are:
Functioning at the alpha level, and
using visualization and
imagination.
Fortunately, Jose Silva did not have good visualization...Most people don't.
Our research indicates that about 10 percent of people have good mental images spontaneously when they think of something. Another 10 percent can quickly create a mental image when they think of something.
The rest of us have to take time to recall what the object looks like. If you have completed the Silva Method Basic Lecture Series or the Silva UltraMind ESP System, then you have gone through the process that Jose Silva and most of us go through. (blogger's note: this also would include the Silva Life System and Intuition Training)
Remember in the Projection to Human Anatomy Conditioning, your instructor asks you to recall someone you know very well, whose face you can recall with the least effort. Then you are instructed to recall the person's features, one by one: The hair, the forehead, the skin tone, the eyes, the cheeks, the character of the face. Have you ever wondered: If this is someone whose face I can recall with the least effort, then why do I need to recall all of those details?
Because most of us - 80 percent of us - need to recall those details, to recall what the person looks like, in order to visualize the person.

How to Exercise Your Brain
taken from "How God Changes Your Brain" by Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman
This information is both beneficial for our brain and is consistent with the ideals and goals most of us have for our lives, spiritually and otherwise. How to Exercise Your Brain may seem very familiar to Silva Method Graduates!
There are eight ways we can exercise our brain...I'll follow the authors' lead and list these in reverse order:
8) Smile
Thich Nhat Hanh suggests we do a 'smiling meditation' throughout the day. It's not necessary to stop, sit or lie down, close your eyes and go into the meditative state...just smile. Smile at other people and smile because it feels good!
However don't go into laughter....totally different experience with very different outcomes.
7) Stay intellectually active
No surprise here...we've been hearing for years that intellectual activity is a deterrant to alzheimer's disease. Memory and mnemonic exercises (Silva Memory Pegs!) strategy games such as chess, read books (fiction or non-fiction) educational TV programming, problem solving and quick reasoning are great. Really get into these activities and challenge yourself.
Note: the authors say that crossword puzzles and math exercises don't work.
Make sure you're enjoying yourself!
6) Consciously relax
Deliberate relaxation of areas of your body...sounds like the Silva Long Relax is perfect for this. They also recommend calming music. All reduce stress and that's beneficial 'across the board'.
5) Yawn
Yes, yawn benefits your brain! Yawning relaxes you and brings you into a state of awareness, alertness. On page 158 of "How God Changes Your Brain" the authors list 12 essential reasons to yawn! There are so many ways yawning is beneficial that it's probably best you look into yourself.
4) Meditate and Intensive Prayer
Benefits body and mind as well as the spiritual self. Even 10 - 15 minutes is enough to make a significantly positive effect. Are you in school now? Meditation before testing can significantly improve your score!
Guided visualization and self-hypnosis are in this category too.
3) Aerobic exercise
Not only is exercise beneficial to maintain health it helps in the healing process, including rebuilding damage caused by brain lesions and strokes. Among other physical benefits the immune system gets a boost. The authors note that exercise "can be used to treat clinical depression and it is just as effective as antidepressants."
Exercise can even be considered a form meditation because of the focus involved in using your body. It also enhances relaxation and your spiritual life.
Some researchers believe yoga is as beneficial as more strenuous movement.
You'll want to check the last paragraph on page 161!
2) Talk with others
Social interaction is very important...as we are with others, we talk. The topic here is intellectual conversation, abstract ideas. Discuss ideas and concepts that don't come up at work very often such as the Big Bang theory. Make sure that these conversations are positively stimulating and don't deteriorate into upsetting 'conversations'.
1) Faith
No matter what, we need to trust ourselves. We rely on faith in ourselves, in God, our intuition to go through life. Faith includes or equates with optimism, the trust that a good future awaits us.

Living Life in Balance
Most of us enjoy our lives and seek to make them better and better. How to make them better? Most people agree that balance is the key.
How do you keep balance in your life? Do you have a process that allows you to know when things are 'off kilter'?
When you watch this video from Vishen Lakhiani you may choose to take a few notes. Definitely worth your time!

UltraSuccessful People, Their Books/Course and How To Get Their Techniques To Work For You
Here are some of Mr. Silva's thoughts on the ultra successful people and the "success" books and courses that they write... and what it takes to get their techniques to work for you. This is part of an article written by Jose Silva.
There have been thousands of books and courses created to help people achieve more success, and they prove useful. for a very few people. In fact, only about one person in ten receives any significant benefit from most of these books and courses...
...let's look first at what makes successful people successful. Not the person with average success, but the person with outstanding success. And not just success in one field, but success in many fields.
These very successful people have goals, of course, and a strong commitment to reach their goals. They are persistent, and are hard workers. They are reasonably intelligent, and relate well to other people.
But many people with average success share these same traits.
So what is the difference?
It is this: People who achieve outstanding success use more of their brains and minds than those who achieve average success.
Most people, approximately ninety percent, use only the left half of the brain for thinking, while the other ten percent use both sides of the brain to think with.
Does this make the ninety percent who are left brain thinkers just half as effective? No, they are usually much less than half as effective. For example, try lifting a bulky object with just one arm instead of two.
Now back to the question of why the Silva Method has helped so many people. While most books and courses motivate people and tell them how to set goals and be more persistent in striving for them, these programs do not teach people how to use the right side of the brain.
The Silva Method is the first program ever created that guides people to start using the right side of the brain to think with.
To develop all of your potential, it is essential that you use both brain hemispheres to think with, because each functions in its own way.
The left brain hemisphere interprets everything logically. The right brain hemisphere perceives things differently: it senses patterns, it creates new combinations that are not limited by logic.
Just take a look at the people who achieve above average success. When they talk, they seem to have a better grasp of things, to understand more quickly. They are more sensitive to people, and seem to know exactly how to deal with them. And they make correct decisions. More correct decisions than the average person.
While the left brain hemisphere is limited by logic, the right brain hemisphere is not biased against any information. It considers everything, and in various combinations. And the right brain hemisphere has access to more information than the left brain hemisphere because it deals with information stored in the subconscious.
Intuition - hunches are a phenomenon of the right brain hemisphere. The right brain hemisphere perceives information that the logical left brain hemisphere misses. When you are able to think with both brain hemispheres, you have much more going for you than if you are limited to only one.
How can you learn to use your right brain hemisphere to think with?
First, learn to relax and slow your brain until you are at a level comparable to light sleep. Then practice using visualization and imagination, and you are using your right brain hemisphere.
With practice, you can learn to reach this level without going to sleep The fastest way to learn is by attending the Silva Method training where a lecturer guides you.
When you have practiced enough, the proper way, then you can evoke that special feeling associated with using the right brain hemisphere at any time, so you will have access to the right brain's abilities whenever you need them.
People who achieve outstanding success all do this, although they may not realize that most people do not function the same way they do. Remember this when you read their books and take their courses. If you apply their techniques with your right brain hemisphere, then you will achieve results the way they do.

Are You Happy but Broke or a Stressed Visionary?
Vishan Lakhiani provided an interesting video today called Which Are You: "Happy but Broke” or a “Stressed Out Visionary?"
Think about what he has to say and discover where you really are. Then think about what that means for you. Do you need to do something differently? If so, what?
Enjoy!

Who's Creating Your Life - Your Problems or You?
What do you notice in your life? What do you think about?
How many problems are you actively worrying about?
How many things keep you awake at night? or wake you?
Did you ever notice that problems seem to 'breed'? ie The more you have to worry about, the more problems you have to solve, the more problems you have to solve! In fact, the better you are at solving those problems the more of them you get. You may ask yourself "Do people see me as a good problem solver...the go-to person to find answers?"
Do you really choose to live that way? How can you change that?
When you 'solve' a challenging situation, tell yourself "Well, that's finished...one less difficulty to handleand soon I'll be free of difficulties!" (As a former 'go-to problem solver' I know it works because I've done it and my life is sooooo much better today.)
Now it's time to make sure you have interests and activities that are fun, uplifting, happy, fulfilling and the like. You cannot give up something without putting something in it's place. This is the Clean Closet Principal: if you remove most or all of the stuff, soon it's filled up again and almost always the new stuff is just as undesireable as the original stuff. Instead of returning to an old habit of worry and problems, make sure your life is filled with positive thoughts, words and experiences. Get excited about life!
Of course there will be challenging situations throughout life. It just happens sometimes but it doesnt have to be your theme. YOU control the theme of your thoughts, your days and your life. Sooner or later you'll notice that your life is going along much smoother than in the past...and you're loving it!
Let's look forward to better thoughts, better days and a better life every day...in every way!

What Is & How Is "Faith" Important in Silva?
Many people talk about faith and how important it is, but few really understand what faith is. Here is Jose Silva's explanation:
It is important to have faith. But to have it, we must first know what it is and understand it.
Faith is composed of Desire, Belief, and Expectancy. Let us take a look at those three components of faith in some detail, to see how we can increase them.
INCREASING DESIRE
Desire stems from need. When there is a genuine need, you have genuine desire. This is important because it is a motive force,compelling us towards our goals.
There is little desire in luxuries because there is no real need, but there is great desire when necessities are lacking because life itself can be threatened. To develop your abilities, seek out the problems and help correct them. Then later, when you have more experience, you will be better able to attain the luxuries.
This, we believe, is why we were guided to be successful in developing the Silva Method, the only system of mind training ever developed to help people learn to use the alpha level and the subjective, spiritual, dimension consciously to correct problems on our planet. Many other systems have copied our, but no one else has originated such a system.
Throughout our research, we worked on real, existing problem cases. While other researchers chose to have psychics guess what was on ESP cards, or try to control the throw of the dice, we were having our subjects detect health problems, and other kinds of problems, and then do whatever they thought would help correct the problems.
This kind of effort paid off. It seems as though a diseased human organ, or injured human tissue, calls out somehow for help. Therefore it is easier to become aware of a problem that of something that is not a problem.
We see so-called miracles when desire - that is, need is very strong. When a person has a great need - for instance, when life is threatened - then there is so much desire that it will carry the other two factors even if they are very weak. All three factors must be there, but one very strong factor can carry the others.
BUILDING BELIEF
Belief is what sustains you along the way from the motivation of your desire to the target of your expectancy. Desire pushes and motivates you, belief keeps you going, and expectancy is your goal, your target.
How can you build a stronger belief factor?
As long as you continue to practice, you are expressing your belief. You can build more belief by repeating (attending and repeating the SLS and SIT) the Basic Lecture Series, reading all the books available, and staying involved in graduate activities.
At your level, check your belief systems: Do you believe your goal is possible? If not, establish interim goals that are believable to you.
Do you believe you deserve what you are seeking? If you have any doubt, then start doing something to serve humanity and to correct problems that you see. When you are correcting problems, without creating any new problems, then you will receive all that you need to continue your work. Promises don't count - you must demonstrate your service first.
EXPECTANCY ATTRACTS
Expectancy is the goal. Expectancy grows through repeated successes. It is important to practice as much as possible to increase expectancy.
So develop your expectancy factor through practice. But remember to practice on the right things: the problem areas, not the luxuries. When you are more proficient, then you will be able to obtain all the luxuries you need. You notice I said need - not necessarily all you desire, but all you need.
In developing the ability to use your mind more effectively, you must do the same as when developing your muscles: practice, practice, practice....
...First, learn to find and consciously use the alpha dimension... Then help correct the problems... The luxuries will come later.
Develop your ability to function at alpha. Develop your faith. Apply all of this to the correction of problems that hurt the inhabitants of our planet, and the planet itself, and you will eventually achieve all that you need and much, much more.

How to Develop Intuition
Since linking this blog to facebook I've had some inquiries about what Silva is. Give me a half hour and I can give you a pretty good answer!
The bottom line is intuition...Here's a short video overview of some of the things we do to develop our intuition. Enjoy!

Program the WHAT - not the HOW
Often in classes we discuss the best way to do our 'programming'. Certainly we have enough techniques in the courses to cover virtually every scenario, every desire, every goal.
There is a "trick" though and that is to make sure you're programming for your desired outcome - the WHAT - not the steps necessary to get there - the HOW.
Our job is to identify our intended outcome - the WHAT - and Spirit is in charge of HOW to get us there. If we believe that we know HOW to get where we choose to go, we limit what Spirit can do for us.
Although this didn't happen in one of my classes, I remember a story I heard about years ago. Sometimes we discuss it in class.
Once upon a time, some years ago, there was a Silva Method Basic class in progress. One student had a dream to go to Hawaii for 2 weeks and she estimated it would cost her $2000 for the trip of her dreams. During the Mirror of the Mind exercise she programmed for the money...she visualized a hand writing out a check to her for the amount she desired.
At the next class she returned and BOY was she mad! When she calmed down the lecturer asked her how she had done her programming so she shared what she'd done. She also told everyone the check HAD arrived but she'd needed to use it for a medical bill, not a vacation.
I think you can see the problem: she programmed for the HOW, not the WHAT. During the second class she programmed for her trip instead of how to make it happen.
As the story goes, soon after the class she met an older lady at the laundromat and they struck up a fun conversation. After a while this lady asked the Silva Grad if she'd consider accompanying her to Hawaii for 2 weeks - all expenses paid.
WOW! She received her desire, the WHAT, and didn't even need to worry about the HOW. Often we can't know the very best way for things to occur but Spirit does.
It's always good to end your programming session with "This or something better." By adding this Spirit is free to meet your desired outcome with no restrictions...in the best way possible.
Remember to identify WHAT you choose and let Spirit take care of getting there.

The Alchemist - third obstacle
The third obstacle is fear. Fear of the possible, even probable, defeats we'll face on the journey.
As a protection against such possible occurrances we always have the opportunity to say "Well, I knew it was a long shot. It doesn't really matter. I didn't really desire it."
IF we say that, we fall back into the old, comfortable, non-scary way of living which, while it feels comfortable, gives us no fulfillment.
Of course there are going to be times when we "fall". When we start something new, we don't know everything we need to know. We're inexperienced. We misjudge. We make mistakes. As Coelho says "The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
We keep getting up until some day, we don't need to get up any more. By then we've learned a lot, empowered ourselves in a new and deeper way, developed unshakable confidence and proven ourselves and our commitment with and to ourselves.
Life is better and better every day! "Falls" come less often and are more shallow. We recover more quickly. Our eyes - all three of them - are focused on the prize, the dream, the desire. We realize that we're close to that desire...so close that it could occur any day now...and we're energized in ways we never before dreamed possible.
Onward and upward, standing tall as we dust off from a previous fall.
Next...the fourth obstacle.
Better & Better,
