We were all stunned. Cesar looked at us and said “You all didn't believe me when I told you that you could do it, uh?”
We had all just emerged from a psychic experience, we being the psychics. Our lecturer Cesar Howard had told us at beginning of our two weekends 30 hour Silva Method course, that we were all psychic.
“You are all psychic” he had said. “You don't need to go to anyone to tell you your future. You have within you everything you need to correct any problem you detect, and to cope with any situation you encounter.”
The Silva Method course which was first presented to the public in 1966 has continuously been taught by Certified Silva Method Instructors (CSMIs) for the past 41 years. Currently programs are being taught in over 111 countries worldwide in more than 30 languages.
Founder of the method is Jose Silva, a self-educated electrician from Laredo, Texas.
He spent his entire lifetime developing his intuitive abilities and teaching others to find their own abilities within themselves. During his lifetime, he was a businessman, athlete, artist, singer and philosopher. He borrowed from Yoga and hypnosis ideas for the creation of the method's techniques
The Silva Method is based on the knowledge that how you think, believe and behave dictates your living experience. By making simple positive changes, you can live a powerful life of your own design. This concept applies in every area of your life, and can be extremely helpful in managing stress.
The method helps students to reach their alpha level, that meditative state between sleep and wakefulness, in which they can visualize positive scenes, and in fact program solutions. We were taught that success is the journey, not the destination. By attaining the alpha level of basic plane, students who take the course really improve in life.
Students are taught to direct their thoughts, to control their emotions and ordain their destiny. They are encouraged to read god books and to meditate; to keep their minds on the things they want, and off from the things they don't want. Students are also taught that their mind and not their doctors is the master of their body.
The Silva Method works. However, it works only if you condition your mind, and “practice, practice, practice.” With the Silva method techniques, you can achieve sleep control, headache, and weight and habit control among others.
