Why do best-selling authors and self-improvement gurus like Wayne Dyer, Shakti Gawain, and Dr. Deepak Chopra praise Jose Silva and the Silva Method so much?

What has made the Silva Method so beneficial to so many people in all walks of life, and what does this mean for you:

Physicians like psychiatrist Clancy McKenzie MD and cancer treatment pioneer O. Carl Simonton MD

Sports stars like World Series MVP Bucky Dent and national martial arts champion Giuseppina "Vidheya" Del Vicario

Actors like John Ritter and Loretta Swit

Business people like the World's Number One Truck Salesman Joe Girard and executives at RCA Records

Entertainers like Doc Severinsen, long time leader of the NBC Orchestra on the Tonight Show, opera star Marguerite Pizza, and hit singer Vicki Carr

Researchers like Cleve Backster, author of Primary Perception, and brain researcher Fred Bremner

Best Selling author's like Richard Bach, who's book Jonathan Livingston Seagull set new sales records, and Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield, authors of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books

Most importantly: How can the Silva Method help YOU the way it has helped millions of people worldwide over the last half century.

There are 3 main aspects to Jose Silva's work:

Problem-solving: He begain his research in 1944 to solve a problem when his children brought home some bad grades.

His study of psychology led him to hypnosis, and thus he was able to develop techniques his children could use to make stronger impressions on their brain neurons, and improve their memory, leading to better test scores and higher grades.

Then an unexpected event led him to the most important aspect of his research:

Developing intuition: During one study session, his daughter began answering questions before he asked them. "It was like she was guessing my mind," he explained. So he shifted his research to see if this was something real, or if she was just making some lucky guesses.

Sure enough, when he asked her about things that even he did not know the answer to, she could give him the correct information. So he began to investigate the research that had been done into ESP.

He studied the leaders of the day, who recognized that ultra successful people are able to detect information with their mind, that is not available to their physical senses - and not available to the average person.

Napoleon Hill, whose research into the wealthiest and most successful people of his day was sponsored by billionaire Andrew Carnegie, said, in his landmark Reading Course in the Law of Success in 1928, that the brain is like a radio sending and receiving station.

Dr. J.B. Rhine conducted many years of research at Duke University to confirm that some people had what he called an "extra sense."

But neither Hill nor Rhine nor anybody else could come up with a way to teach people how to do this.

By 1953, Jose Silva knew he had found a way to teach all of us how to use our natural intuition to detect information that we can use to make better decisions, correct problems, and avoid mistakes.

After another dozen years of perfecting his system, he offered all his reserch, free of charge, to the US government. They said they saw no value in ESP and turned him down.

So he took it directly to the public. The Silva Method was soon being taught around the world, and millions of people have said, "Thank you Mr. Silva for showing me how to change my life for the better."

Holistic Faith Healing: His research into the mind and human potential also led him to investigate holistic faith healers, both in his home town in Laredo, Texas, and around the world.

He became a very good healer himself, and was much in demand, so much so that he eventually relaized it was limiting him too much.

"I realized that I could not personally heal everybody in the world who needs healing," he said. "So I decided to stop healing people, except for my own family, and to use my time to train other people to do what I do."

He developed holistic faith healing techniques that anybody can learn to use. His "Rapid Hand Vibration Technique" can be learned in an hour, and many people who never thought that they could be healers discovered that they had the ability to start helping people right away.

How you can benefit from Jose Silva's pioneering research

The next step is up to you. You can benefit from all of Jose Silva's pioneering research into the mind and human potential.

This web site is devoted to his research, his philosophy, and his teachings, the way he did it and the way he instructed us to teach it.

One section of the web site is devoted to problem solving, another to developing intuition, and another to holistic faith healing. You can start with whatever you most need at this time.

Silva Method courses are offered by certified Silva Method Instructors throughout the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world, and continuing support is available free from the Silva International Graduate Association. There are also numerous specialized programs to help you in all areas of your life.

A whole new world to explore

You are invited to join us on a journey to a whole new world, a subjective world - the world of the mind - where anything is possible.

The mind can do anything, Mr. Silva told us. It is not limited by time or space or physical barriers.

With your mind, you can imagine enjoying perfect health, perfect relationships in your personal and business life, a perfect career. Manifesting all of that in the physical world is another matter.

We may never reach that perfection because the physical world is a moving target - it is still evolving - but you can certainly learn how to use your mind to change your life for the better.

What you must do to learn to function in the world of the mind

If you are willing to invest just 15 minutes a day, to sit back and relax and daydream, follow the simple step-by-step instructions Jose Silva has provided for us, and let the Silva Method exercises plant new success habits deep inside of you, then you too will change your life for the better.

There is one other thing you must do, and this is perhaps the most important thing of all:

You must use your newfound power for good, you must use it to help anyone you come across who needs help.

Jose Silva said that we were sent here for a purpose, and that purpose is to correct problems.

There is no great mystery what our purpose in life is: To correct problems. It is not difficult to find out how to go about it: Just look around and you will see plenty of problems that you can work on.

When you do that, and you use the MentalVideo technique - the last technique that Jose Silva developed before his passing - you will receive guidance and help from higher intelligence.

The Second Phase of Human Evolution on the Planet

The MentalVideo is the culmination of Mr. Silva's 55 years of research and experience in this field, it is the technique he had sought for many years, the technique that will move humanity into what he called the "second phase of human evolution on the planet."

The first phase was to develop our physical abilities and tame the physical world.

We have gone about as far as we can go with that. The old ways of "survival of the fittest" are no longer working. Our social and political institutions are breaking down and failing us.

What we need is a spiritual awakening.

And that means: We must find out what higher intelligence wants us to do, and how to go about doing it.

"The reason we were given psychic ability," Mr. Silva told us, "is so that we can use it to find out what we were sent here to do and how to do it successfully."

If you are ready to move into the Second Phase of Human Evolution on the Planet, then please join us. There are many different options on this web site for you to choose from, so please select the one that best suits your needs and come along with us on this exciting journey.

The secret of success is no secret to us, we've been teaching people since 1966:

"Success depends on how you use your mind"

Finding the secret to success

If you are like me, you have probably wondered what it is that makes some people so much more successful than others.

Being born to wealth and privilege doesn't guarantee success in life, nor does growing up in poverty condemns one to failure.

Success doesn't depend on how much or how little formal education you have, and it never has. The ultra successful people often aren't smarter than everybody else, nor do they work harder or have more desire.

So what is the difference between the ultra successful and the average person?

We have found 4 characteristics common to the Ultra Successful people:

Relax and relieve stress, to maintain a sort of self mind control so that they can use more of their energies and emotions to help them achieve success

They are able to use their subconscious to work for them rather than against them, so that they can overcome impediments and limitations and move towards success like a magnet seeking out the North Pole

Definite chief aim in life, a life purpose, a mission that drives them

Use their intuition to help them make better decisions and fewer mistakes, and to obtain guidance from the same higher power that all ultra successful people acknowledge guides them

Let’s look at each of these characteristics and see how you can develop the same traits that the ultra successful people have.

Learn to meditate like a monk in 2 days

Uncontrolled stress can hurt your health, hamper your relationships, curtail your ability to concentrate and learn, lower your productivity and creativity and problem solving ability, and undermine your self-confidence and happiness. When you program your mind to put those energies to work for you instead of against you, as you learn in the Silva Method, they can propel you to the success you crave. That's what happened to Bucky Dent.

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, he 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."

Dr. Wayne Dwyer, motivational speaker, author, and one of the most popular self-improvement "gurus" said on page 273 of his best selling book Real Magic, "I have used the Silva Method for many years. It has helped me overcome illnesses and accidents and avoid surgery. I urge you to attend Mr. Silva's training sessions that are presented around the world." He also demonstrated that he understands Jose Silva's UltraMind concept when he said on a recent television program that you can learn to influence the coincidences in your life.

Dr. O. Carl Simonton said that he found the Silva Method tools invaluable - even life saving. Dr. Simonton, author of Getting Well Again, said, when he was the featured speaker at the Silva Method International Convention in 1974, “It is the most powerful single tool that I have to offer... in teaching the patient how to become involved in his own health

Use the subconscious consciously with the Silva Dynamic Meditation System

Use the subconscious consciously. Once you learn to relax and relieve stress, then you can start changing your life for the better.

There is an old saying that "Mind guides brain and brain guides body." Does science bear this out? Yes it does. He is a simple experiment you can do to demonstrate it to yourself (you will need a friend to help you).

Hold one arm out straight to your side, parallel to the floor, hand open, thumb pointing down. Have your friend test your strength by pushing your arm down while you resist. (If you are too strong for your friend, then test your strength by forming a circle with the thumb and first finger of either of your hands, holding them tightly together and seeing if your friend can pull them apart.)

Now relax for a moment. When you are ready, hold your arm out again in the same position but this time think about a time when you lost, when you were defeated and humiliated, when you felt terrible about your loss. While holding this thought, have your friend test your strength again. This time your friend will find it much easier to push your arm down.

Relax again. Then think about your most recent victory, a very satisfying success, one that you are proud of. Once again have your friend test your strength. You will be much stronger when thinking about success.

Have your friend test your strength as you think about different experiences, different people and your experiences with them. You will find that when you are confident, you are strong; when you have doubts, you are weak. Your mind definitely controls your body by directing and regulating the neurotransmitters in your brain.

Shakti Gawain, author of numerous including Creative Visualization and Living in the Light, wrote: "One of the earliest workshops I took was the Silva Mind Control course.... The most important technique I learned in that course was the basic technique of creative visualization.... Our rational mind is like a computer.... The intuitive mind, on the other hand, seems to give access to an infinite supply of information. It appears to be able to tap into a deep storehouse of knowledge and wisdom..."

Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and numerous other books, said "Creative visualization is what the Silva Method is all about." In Chapter 31 you can read how the Silva techniques helped him to complete his best-selling book Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Doc Severensen, world famous band leader and conductor of the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson for many years, took the course in 1980 said he has used it in many ways: in his personal life, his relationships, and even to help him compose music.

Mark Victor Hansen, author of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul said, "If you can count, you can count on the Silva Method.”

Fulfill your mission in life

Imagine having a guide who actually knows what lies ahead, who can guide you to success, happiness, and fulfillment.

Have you ever felt like there was something more you should be doing with your life? A hidden talent ready to burst into success. Or a special mission, a soul purpose, you are ready to achieve?

Wouldn't it be nice to have guidance from higher intelligence as to how to achieve all this?

That’s what Jose Silva’s UltraMind ESP System is all about: To help you achieve the success you know that you are capable of achieving, and make the rest of your life, the best of your life!

In 1971, researcher Napoleon Hill wrote in his book You Can Work Your Own Miracles, "Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, Luther Burbank, Andrew Carnegie, Elmer R. Gates, and Dr. Alexander Graham Bell went to great lengths in their descriptions of their experiences with unseen guides, although some of these men did not refer to these invisible sources of aid as 'guides.' Dr. Bell, in particular, believed the invisible source of aid was nothing but a direct contact with Infinite Intelligence, brought about by the individual's stimulation of his own mind through a burning desire for the attainment of definite objectives."

Danielle Kennedy, Author of Selling-The Danielle Kennedy Way, says about Jose Silva’s Sales Power book, “Buy the book and do what it says."

Joe Girard, the World’s Number 1 Salesman and author of How to Sell Anything to Anybody said, “It will make you the World’s Number 1 anything.”

Mark Victor Hansen, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul said, "If you can count, you can count on the Silva Method.”

Use your God-given intuition

Napoleon Hill, who spent twenty years studying the most successful people in the world, proposed back in 1928 that the key difference was a special mental ability that the ultra successful people have. He said they can arouse their minds to go beyond the point at which the average human mind "stops rising or exploring." Then he added:

"The individual who discovers a way to stimulate his mind artificially, arouse it and cause it to go beyond this average stopping point frequently, is sure to be rewarded with fame and fortune if his efforts are of a constructive nature."

Hill understood that psychic ability was the foundation of everything, especially if you could also connect with a higher power for guidance.

Although Hill apparently developed these abilities himself, he never found a way to teach them to others. He could teach people all of the other laws, but he was never able to unlock the secret how to teach people to develop and use their intuition on demand; he never found the key to train people to do this.

Hill even went so far as to say that, "The educator who discovers a way to stimulate any mind and cause it to rise above this average stopping point without any bad reactionary effects, will confer a blessing on the human race second to none in the history of the world."

Are you a natural psychic... and don't know it?

Learn to use your intuition accurately, reliably, and regularly with Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System. Find and fulfill your purpose in life, and make better decisions in all areas of your life, by learning to use your own inborn ESP that you already have within you just waiting to be released.

Have you ever just thought of somebody and the phone rings and it's the same person? Or perhaps you say something at exactly the same time as a friend says it or thinks it!

This is your own natural intuition at work.

Now you can easily develop your own ESP and learn to project your mind and detect information to help you make better decisions about health, relationships, business, personal development, and even your purpose in life.
