Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you!
THE MEANING OF COLORS. For St. Patrick’s Day celebration people dress in two colors: green or orange. These colors also represent: The South of Ireland with the GREEN color and Northern Ireland with the ORANGE color. But colors also have other special meanings.
The color greenis the color of balance, harmony and growth. From the Psychology perspective, it is a great balancer of the heart and emotions. It helps to balance the head and heart. It represents hope and also money.
The orange color radiates warmth and happiness, maybe because of its combination between red and yellow. It relates with your intuition, and offers emotional strength in difficult times.

DECISION MAKING
How do you make your decisions? Science is starting to understand why the best decisions come from the gut. The November 2002 Business 2.0 Magazine published an article called Think With your Gut which explains that “in a fluid competitive environment, the best decisions come from intuition.” Jose Silva, the founder of the Silva Method and a deep thinker and acute observer of our world, understood this fact of life and incorporated it into all Silva educational programs. And now, scientists are beginning to catch up and starting to explain why.
“The most brilliant decisions tend to come from the gut. While that observation is not new, it is now backed by a growing body of research from economics, neurology, cognitive psychology, and other fields. What the science suggests is that intuition –or instinct, or hunch, or “learning without awareness”, or whatever you want to call it –is a real form of knowledge. It may be nonrational, ineffable, and not always easy to get in touch with, but it can process more information on a more sophisticated level than most of us ever dreamed. Psychologists now say that far from being the opposite of effective decision-making, intuition is inseparable from it. Without it we couldn’t decide anything at all.”
In the Silva Life System (SLS) program to take place on April 26-27 at the American Legion in Springfield, we sharpen our capacity to be in touch with our intuition and use it as a guide. The SLS uses relaxation exercises that demonstrate the huge creative power of our minds and the results we can achieve by using our spiritual capabilities.
