The Silva Method
On this page, learn all about... What the Silva Method is Actually All About...
"Jose Silva, the founder of The Silva Method, is a man I have admired for a long time. I have used The Silva Method of visualization for many years. It has helped me overcome illnesses and accidents and avoid surgery. I urge you to attend Silva training sessions."
- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development as well as author of over 30 books.
| By now, you must wondering what the Silva Mind Control Method is all about. After all, it’s not everyday that you hear about life-changing self-help courses that actually work (Well, a lot of them claim that they work. Very few actually do...).Here's what the Silva method claims to be able to do. - The Silva Mind Control course can "can train anyone to improve their memory & learning habits, increase concentration, remember forgotten things, control pain, increase healing powers, abandon unwanted habits and attitudes, increase creativity, spark your intuition so that the sixth sense becomes a creative, problem-solving part of your daily life, and many more amazing things. With all this comes a cheerful, calm inner peace, a quiet optimism and confidence that you are more in control of your lives than you ever imagined."
| "World famous band leader Doc Severensen, conductor of the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson for many years, took the Silva Method course in 1980 said he has used the Silva Method in many ways: in his personal life, his relationships, and even to help him compose music. - Doc Severensen, conductor of the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
| Whew! Sounds amazing, doesn't it? I’m sure you can easily understand why I thought it was a load of crock when I first heard of the Silva Method. And if I hadn't attended the course myself, I would have agreed with you. But I stand corrected. The Silva Method really does work, and then some more as well. And it does all this without the use of any drugs, self help devices or biofeedback machines!
How Does the Silva Method Work?The basic underlying principle of the Silva Method is about using the power of the mind to achieve all your goals and objectives. Specifically, the Silva Method does this by using your brain waves to put yourself in the optimal state of mind for any challenge or situation that you’re in. Once you understand how your mind and brainwaves work, you’ll be able to consciously control your mind power and brain waves to ensure that you’re always in the optimal state of mind. In fact, one of the first things that they tell you in the Silva Mind Control course is "You are going to use more of your mind and to use it in a special way". This may not seem like much until you realize that most people tend to react to the situation around them instead of the other way around. Instead of controlling the situation, you let the surrounding environment and other people push your buttons and control you! The boss gives you impossible deadlines at work, and you start panicking. Someone cuts into your lane when you’re driving and it spoils your whole day. The kids are crying, the dinner in the oven is getting burnt, the phone is ringing & someone’s at the door, and you start panicking, get all flustered and bothered. Notice that all during all these unpleasant or stressful times, our moods and state of mind change immediately for the worse as we react to the situation. And once we get upset, lose our temper or start panicking, things don’t really get much better, do they? Wouldn’t it be better if you could control your state of mind and master the situation instead? Imagine being in a cool and calm state of mind when the whole house is falling down. Wouldn’t you like to be able to take control of the situation and turn it around instead of running around like chickens with their heads cut off? A wise man once said, "Is it the situation around you, or the way you react to the situation, that’s causing the problem?" Think about it.
The Silva Method & Other Self Help Techniques
| "Russell "Bucky" Dent was a young baseball player with the Chicago White Sox when he first learned the Silva Method in 1975, along with several of his Chicago White Sox teammates. In 1978, after joining the New York Yankees, his contributions were so great that when they won the World Series, they named him their Most Valuable Player (MVP). "The Silva Method helped me with my concentration, and it helped me to relax before the pressures of a game," Dent told us in 1992 after he had become the manager of the Yankees. He added that, "I would recommend it to my younger players." - Russell "Bucky" Dent, Chicago White Sox
| Unlike many self-help techniques and courses, the Silva Method actually complements & supports all your other self-help or learning activities. That's because it trains you to use your mind more effectively, instead of relying on some external aid or device. This may not sound like much, but let me tell you, if you need to carry about a CD player or some self-help device every-time you want practice some self-improvement activity, it just becomes too troublesome after a while. Another key difference why the Silva Method is so effective is because you can only learn the method by actually doing the techniques. When I attended the Silva Method course, there were numerous sessions on going to Alpha to explore and learn something new. And as we became more familiar, it became easier and easier to go to Alpha. And I personally think that this is what makes all the difference between the Silva Method and other self help courses that I've attended. Now, don’t get the wrong idea. If the only thing you do is to attend the Silva Method course and immediately forget about it after the course, you’re not going to get much benefit. You need to practice your Alpha sessions, especially immediately after the course. Like any sporting event, the more you train, the better you get. Your brain is like a muscle, you have to train it in order to derive the maximum benefit. Got it?
Is the Silva Method Really That Good?
If you ever have the opportunity to attend the 4-day Silva Method course, I strongly encourage you to go. One thing though, I found the introductory preview seminar not very convincing, maybe because the presenter wasn’t that good. It does take a bit of faith to sign up for the Silva Method. However, I guess that’s because of the nature of the course itself. At first, it can be a bit difficult to understand and appreciate all these things, especially if you haven’t experienced it before. The best way I can describing the Silva Method is that it's kind of like "active" meditation, creative visualization, intuition & your inner sense all combined together. But it's actually a lot more than that. For a better idea & explanation of what the Silva Method is all about, click here and let Jose Silva tell you about it yourself. The video's in the middle of the page, so scroll down to view it. | The Silva Method is currently only offer by a company called Avlis Productions, managed by Jose Silva Jr (Jose Silva's son). The original Silva Method has been updated and is now called the Silva Ultramind ESP System. There are are no other officially sanctioned Silva courses, other than those offered by Avlis Productions (Silva spelt backwards). There are numerous other versions of the Silva Method available online, claiming to be by the Silva family, but actually managed by online companies of questionable integrity. My personal experience, and feedback from my readers, has been overwhelmingly negative. A good way to check is to see if the website is genuine is: - Do they offer the 'Original Silva Method' by Jose Silva?
Only Avlis Productions offers the 'Original Silva Method' with lectures by Jose Silva.
- Do they offer only 1 expensive training course or a variety of resources of varying prices & products?
The official Silva website by Avlis Productions offers numerous recordings (including Alpha & Theta waves so you don't have to buy the entire course just to experience going to Alpha), books, training videos, dvds and seminars, unlike other websites who only offer 1 single product.
The only thing about the official Silva website is that it's not as 'nice' & flashy as the most other 'websites'. Actually, I think it really looks messy, as if it was created in the 1990s. However, take the time to go through the website. It's the real deal. You'll be surprised how many resources & how cheaply they're selling them at. Some of the recordings teaching you to go to Alpha are only a few dollars! Somehow, the real ones always have crappy websites... =P... Lastly, a few words from Avlis Productions: UltraMind Stands Apart From All The Rest
"Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System is administered by Jose Silva's Estate. It is not affiliated with any other Silva company or program like the one he developed in 1966. It concentrates solely on the new System. Mr. Silva considered it so vital and important that he spent the last years of his life developing a way for one person to teach Silva Ultramind to thousands. We are dedicated to continuing what Jose Silva began, and doing it the way that his research found to be best. We will not permit anyone to change his work to cater to popular trends and fads. His research has stood the test of time, and we are staying true to it." |
| I began to use the Silva Centering Exercise to relax in the evening. My days are usually stressful and the stress carries over into the evening. I also developed hyperthyroidism which has insomnia as a symptomand I was prescribed sleeping pills which I have taken for about 16 months. After a week of practicing the Silva Centering Exercise, I noticed that I hadn't been taking the sleeping pills. It wasn't that I was falling asleep during the exercise, but afterwards I felt so relaxed. When I went to bed I fell asleep immediately. When it occurred to me that I hadn't been taking the pills, it also occurred to me that I had been practicing the Centering Exercise about as long as I had been forgetting to take the pills. The best part along with coming off of sleeping pills is that I don't wake up during the night. I sleep soundly, deeply and peacefully. By the way, the hyperthyroidism went away after four months even though the specialist said that I would be on medication for about 18 months. I'm not sure what happened, but I don't take any medication for anything anymore. Thank you, Mr. Silva for helping me get to the "root" of my problem. I feel like a new person! -Jeanetta Wright
| Most people attend the Silva Life System course for a specific reason. They want to learn how to relax, cure insomnia, relieve headaches, pain and aches, learn to do things that they haven’t had the willpower or ability to do in the past such as losing weight, stop smoking, improve memory and concentration, studying more effectively, better relationships, find a life-partner, etc. I, myself, went to learn how to make more money effortlessly. If you’re wondering whether it works, the answer is "Yes." The Silva Life System teaches you how to get over the challenges in life, easily and effortlessly. However, everyone who graduates from the Silva Mind Control course learns much, much more. You learn how to Effectively use the Power of the Mind to overcome all your challenges in life. Now, don’t dismiss this lightly. If you’re thinking "So what?", remember that I used to think the same way as you too. So, did I suddenly get rid of all of my bad habits, attitudes & immediately become a reformed, enlightened person? No. But what the Silva System did for me was to teach me how to use the power of the mind and my mind powers to overcome any challenges or hurdles that I might face in life. It also gave me a new level of self-confidence and courage to go after and, more importantly, achieve any goals or objectives that I might have, whatever they may be. Most importantly, I learnt how to achieve a new level of inner peace, stillness of mind and self-realization that I had never experienced or imagined possible before. For me, it was the beginning of the rest of my life...

One of the four decided not to use it, but Mr. Storin and the other two who did, he said, have increased production for the whole staff by 490 percent." - The Pawtucket Times
