How to "Fix" Your Programming

Originally published 5-10-10

Are you a Silva Graduate? Maybe you've just heard about the Silva courses.

Have you been reading or listening to the Abraham material?

Probably you've read many books and listened to videos about achieving your life's dreams, your greatest desires.  That's what this post is all about.

First, the questions.  Then the answers.

Have you ever 'programmed' for something you dearly desired...to win the lottery, have a new car, have plenty of money to pay bills, heal from injury or illness, etc.?

Did the object of your programming seem like your wildest dream come true? Emphasis on "wildest dream" aka fantasy.

Did you at any point doubt the fulfillment of that program?

Thinking about your desire, your dream, how much assurance did you feel at the time of your initial programming?

How did that work out for you?

Lots of questions!


It's essential to identify your desired outcome - The What - not a step along the way.  I think a story may be the best way to clarify what I mean:

Once upon a time (I love a good story, don't you?) a woman took The Silva Method Basic course.  During the class she decided to program for a 2-week trip to Hawaii. What's important for us today is HOW she did it:  she imagined / visualized someone making out a check to her, filling in the amount she thought was appropriate and signing the check.

At the next class she returned, upset and very angry. At the first opportunity she expressed her upset to everyone. 

The lecturer asked her "Tell me what you did." 

She described her programming and also mentioned that she had received the check but had to spend it on a medical bill.

At this point the lecturer pointed out to her that she programmed for the HOW, not the WHAT.

Think about your own programming.  Did you program for the WHAT or the HOW?

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.

Have You Met 'The Winning Sage'?

What do you notice as you watch Helene talk about her wins.

Is it magic? No! As you listen, notice how she knows exactly what she desires. Notice her profound belief.

Desire Belief Expectation

"You can have anything you want provided you know what it is.

See yourself as having it.

If there's a delay in results don't be disappointed. Maybe you need to cultivate a little more patience and it's yours.

It's energy as it's got to come to you." 

What IS The Silva Method?

After 20 years’ experience as a Silva Method instructor the best way I’ve found to answer that question is by pointing out…

First, The SilvaMethod provides an easy, reliable process to attain the Alpha level of brainwave functioning. This is also known as the Meditative State. In Silva, we refer to it as ‘our Level’. 

This is the ‘level’ of brain/mind activity where we function at our strongest. It’s good to know that we can attain this brainwave state at will; for as long as we choose; and we leave it when we choose.

Then we have a collection of superb multi-use mental techniques - I think of them as mental tools - from which we can create our dreams and desires i.e. Manifest!

We use these mental tools while in the Alpha, or Meditative, brainwave state.  This we call  ‘programming’.

As I often say in classes, the limits of these tools are only your own needs / desires and your own creativity.

After ending a programming session, it’s time to take physical action which is in line with the programming you’ve done.

Because there are practice exercises included in the course, after taking The Silva Method you have greater skill using your meditative state – your Level – and you have a powerful set of multi-use mental tools for designing the life of your dreams.

Do You Worry?

Silly question, right? Most everybody worries at some time or other and we've all heard people say to us ... "Don't worry. Everything will work out fine."

I don't know about you, but that sure didn't change anything for me!

What did change things ... change ME ... was when I realized that by worrying I am actually programming (or praying) for what I feared!

Sometime people think that means we 'shouldn't have negative thoughts'. No. It means that, *after exploring the situation and *determining if there's productive actions to be taken, and *taking those actions, *stop thinking about it. 

Not so hard to do when we actually take the action(s). Putting them off or refusing to take action encourages worry.

If there is no action, it may be a bit more difficult to let go of the worry thoughts but it can be done!

While everything I just wrote is correct, there's a bit more to it. Bottom line: Worry is a habit!

Most of us who have been worriers in the past have the idea that we can't change ... we can't stop ... we can't let go of the worry habit. Not! 

This quote gives a clue to how we can change:  

"Habit is overcome by habit."

-Thomas A. Kempis

In other words, *create a new habit. That's an entirely different 'project' than getting rid of an established habit. Since we cannot have two habits which are in direct conflict, the one we focus on is the one which will manifest.

The Silva 'Mirror of the Mind' is perfect to do this!

It may sound flip to say this but I find that it often is easier when I 'step back' to become an 'Observer' of my life and tell myself 'This Is An Adventure In Human Living!

Assuming you decide to make this shift yourself, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Do You Doubt Your Programming?

Here's a short post to address a HUGE topic...

People sometimes tell me they don't use their programming techniques because they don't think they can be successful.
Doubt rears its ugly head!

Some people say they didn't have success with their programming because ( insert any excuse )
Doubt again!

The truth is 'When you doubt, you wipe it out!'

IT is your programming.

So ... are you stuck? Is it hopeless? What can you do about doubt?

The answer is so simple ... Include the doubt in your Blue-Framed Mirror and wipe it out along with the problem situation.

In the future if you find yourself in a state of doubt once more, go back to your Blue-Framed Mirror and re-program making sure to use the current situation (because you probably have already made progress to your goal) and the doubt. Then wipe it out... out of 3D reality.

Enjoy your success!
