CHANGE!… and move forward. Changes are good for you!
Changes are challenges that help us progress from where we are to where we want to be. Everything changes, why wouldn’t we also change? Especially if it is for the better.
Often we stay in a static state, not moving forward because we are afraid of the risks and possible outcomes. Fear, as we analyzed in the program “Create a Life of Success. Work and Achieve your Goals”, can be triggered by the degree of responsibility that change demands. You feel that to start, you need to have all the necessary fortitude and skills to face the obstacles that may or may not appear in the process, and to be assured of the expected results. But experience has taught us, the most important thing is to begin the journey using your present skills and developing new ones on the way. Moving forward is an exhilarating and great learning experience. Also, we tend to inflate the possible problems and obstacles in our way. We let fear take over our appreciation of reality.
Fears are negative emotions. You can only release them by pushing the limits of your internal beliefs. Be aware that many times, fear is only a product of your imagination, which is a very good reason to eliminate them from your mind and take control of your life in a positive way. As you start taking the first steps in the direction of your goal (s), you feel more confident, trusting more and more in your own capacities.
Remember that it is only by controlling your mind that you become the true owner of your own life.
In the Silva Method programs we share beautiful techniques that help us deal with fears and at the same time focus our mind and actions in what we really want to achieve. We discover the capacities we have to face challenges to create a life of success, with a good self-esteem that prepares us for all the changes that guarantee a better future.

Do you wish to sleep better? Turn off your electronic gadgets
Dr. Lawrence Epstein, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School says that the light from your computer, IPad, smartphone or TV screen can keep you awake. “Light suppresses the secretion of melatonin, a substance that helps regulate the body’s internal clock, which controls the timing of the sleep-wake cycle”. “Bright light in the late evening can delay the sleep period making it harder to fall asleep at night and harder to get up in the morning. The later you look at bright screens, the more you can shift your internal clock”. This recommendation is also valid for lamps. An optimal sleep environment is dark, quiet and temperature controlled.
UPCOMING PROGRAMS
This summer we will be offering the SILVA LIFE SYSTEM for adults and students. This program is directed to your personal development, including: the physiology of stress and learning how to manage it; the use of dreams to solve problems; how to take better decisions; weight control and smoking control; how to work your goals; self-image; memory improvement; studing techniques, and much more. Dates and place will be announced.
Silva Intuition System. Date and place to be announced.
In our research, we have found that 90% of people who are trained to function at the Alpha and Theta levels were able to demonstrate enhanced intuition and creativity. The Silva Method teaches you how to use your intuition to make better decisions in life. In a larger sense, we teach people to use this intuition to tap into inspiration and creativity. Artist, writers, thinkers and entrepreneurs have hailed The Silva Method as a useful tool to allow them create a flow of ideas. Join us!
September 13 and 14, 2014. We will have the presence of Dr. Omar Mustafa Chama, Silva Director for South America and Portugal, with the following programs. The program is in Spanish; and we appreciate your help in alerting all Spanish speaking family, friends and colleagues to this opportunity:
Sept. 13 (Saturday). As happens with our biologic DNA, containing inherited information about our ancestors; our energy also contains information related to our ancestors. What kind of energy are we carrying from them, that is affecting how we feel and how we conduct our lives at present? What kind of energetic information are we carrying within that interferes with our legitimate desires and aspirations? And, what can we do to change it? This program will be presented in SPANISH.
Sept. 14 (Sunday). Consciousness and its process in the service of the Success of the Company or your Project.
Every company or small business or project experiences the complexity of a changing world. To create a process toward SUCCESS in the face of continual change, we have to develop an understanding of and sense of consciousness for all persons and stakeholders who affect and are affected by the business or project.
This vision of SUCCESS includes material profitability, but also harmonizes with a sense of satisfaction on the part of all stakeholders associated with the company. Does your company or project have a clear sense of direction? Is every one synchronized with this direction? The vision has to be clear, specific and highly motivating, and consider all the elements involved. Every element and part has significance because they are associated with the WHOLE and help create the Whole.
This workshop’s objective is to analyze how to build and implement this new vision of what a business or company is, working with the WHOLE to assure success.
“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” Henry Ford
