Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The iPhone makes voice calls, receives email, and accesses the Internet, but your 21st century tech toy can also usher in relaxation and tranquility. Several applications help find your bliss on the same device that plays YouTube.

We’ve tried six apps for contemplation, meditation, or just for peaceful fun. Some are a Buddhist’s delight, while others need another rotation on the wheel of life.

First Look: Mind Habits, stress relief game

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Most people play video games for fun or to relieve stress or boredom in their life. While shooting radioactive mutants or driving a car through animated city streets at top speed may take your mind off your problems, the moment you’re done playing, reality smacks you in the face all over again. If you want to play a video game that can boost your self-esteem and improve your self-confidence both during and after you stop playing it, take a look at a unique stress relieving video game called Mind Habits.

Based on more than a decade of research by Dr. Mark Baldwin at McGill University in Montreal, the game trains you to focus on the positive aspects of your life. Dr. Baldwin’s studies claim that specially designed video games, like Mind Habits, can help people train themselves to develop more positive mental habits, reducing stress hormone cortisol by up to 17 percent in as little as playing just five minutes a day.

Tons of energy at this course

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Lise Blouin and I just completed another weekend class of the Silva Method Basic Lecture Series (BLS) at Dawson College in Montreal, Canada. Everybody was truly energized by the new knowledge on how to reduce stress and work with one’s own health. Attendants were university professors, nurses, students, psychotherapist, business entrepreneurs, sales marketers and homemakers, all looking to enhance their lives with the dynamic relaxation techniques of the Silva Method. It was truly an excellent experience, and we thank all our students to have taken the time to attend this class for their benefits.

Here’s the picture taken at the end of the class.

Free Report: How Science Discovered Silva Method

Free Report: How Science Discovered Silva Method: “

Free Scientific Report on the Silva Method

Science and Silva Method

In the beginning, José Silva was alone in his research. Even his wife Paula was skeptical and cautious until she eventually saw the benefits in the work he was doing with their children. A few friends in Laredo became interested and listened to his ideas and helped him when he asked them to, but many more were suspicious and even hostile.

Eventually Silva’s work attracted the attention of one scientist, who became a close friend and associate, and who brought the research findings to the attention of many other scientists. This pioneering research, overcoming many obstacles and challenges, has provided José Silva with many wonderful memories of the people and events that helped us to take the first step into the second phase of human evolution on the planet by succeeding with metaphysics.

This is the story about how scientists became aware of the new science that José Silva has named ‘psychorientology.’

The Silva Method Course: Free to Silva Graduates

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Silva Method Graduates are always encouraged to take the Silva Method Course again as a refresher course, anywhere in the world and for the rest of their lives. This is a free benefit that comes with being a Silva Method Graduate.

Jose Silva knew that even with daily practice, Silva Graduates forget to use some of the techniques that would be beneficial to them. That’s why he decided that Silva Instructors would offer to teach the Silva Method tuition-free to Silva Graduates. However to cover meeting room costs and materials, Silva Instructors are permitted to charge a seating fee.

Exceptionally, I will waive the seating fee to Silva Graduates for the Silva Method Course (Basic Lecture Series) presented December 13 and 14 in Sunrise, FL at the La Quinta Inn of Sawgrass Mills.

If you are a Silva Method Graduate with the proper Silva ID, you can register now by sending me an email here. First email received, first reserved. Act now!

For more information, visit my site at Silva Method of Florida. Students new to the Silva Method are welcome and can register here.

The Power of “Thank You”

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

These two words are magic, yet we forget to use them often. In the experiments of Dr. Masaru Emoto, we see how these two words change the molecular structure of water simply by transferring energy and thoughts to a glass containing even polluted water. With these two words, that water is transformed showing a beautiful shape. If you’ve never read about Dr. Emoto, I will direct you here.

Here in this video, Dr. Laura Trice tells us in a brief message why we should use the words “Thank You” to make our lives better. These words are free to use as many times as you want. They make other people feel good when these two words are directed to them, and by ricochet they make you also feel better.

Even in these trying times, saying “Thank You” can only make us forget the vicissitudes of fortune and see the light at the end of this tunnel.

Enjoy and thank you for reading this blog.

Testimonials from the Silva Method Course in Ottawa, Canada

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

My dear friend, Lise Blouin, a Certified Silva Method Instructor in Canada, sent me these three testimonials from students in her last class in Ottawa last weekend. I was supposed to be there but could not make it. Instead, I’ll be teaching with Lise the Basic Lecture Series in Montreal at Dawson College the weekend of October 25. You can also check on my new public calendar here for all new events in Florida and Canada.

This first testimonial is from David:

Lise,
 
I did as you said.  I programmed to work with an MD as well as with my Naturopath with  a view to restoring myself to perfect health.
 
I just met tonight with a new doctor.  It was an extremely pleasant experience.  What a wonderful person. 
 
She wants me to take my blood pressure myself at home after resting for 10 minutes, because she thinks I may have something called white coat hypertension.  Tha is, I may get tense and drive my blood pressure up through anxiety because of past experiences with doctors and medication. 
 
She wants a bunch of blood tests done to exclude kidney problems, thyroid problems, etc that can contribute to hypertension.  This has never been done before.  Only after a few weeks of testing will she even decide whether I have a problem or not. 
 
And then she said that before she would prescribe medication, she would arrange for me to take some relaxation therapy.
 
What an amazing experience.  So totally different to the adversarial realtionship I have had with doctors over the past ten years.
 
Thank you so much for your advice, and thank you for working with me on this issue. 
 
May God bless you and keep you,

David

This one is from J.C.:

Dear Lise,
 
Your review of the course last week-end launched me again in the Silva Method path.  Over the years, I had grown frustrated with the lack of results and had almost discarded the method as useless.
I will summarize some points:

1) Those who, like me, graduated and then put away the course material in a closet while expecting to get the rewards of a 3-day training by the mere fact that we had a diploma, are mistaken.  The course is just the beginning.

2) We need to practice daily and apply correctly the techniques learned in that course.  Success feeds success. 
 
3) For years, I have achieved nothing with the method because, when I meditated, I went straight through alpha into a deeper level.  This was a fundamental error that I attributed to tiredness, and that blocked my development.  Your use of the alpha sound anchored me to the right frequency and I am now making progress.  In fact, I find that the meditation with the alpha sound leaves me alert and with a sharp mind for hours.

4)  Last week-end you took us through the course material with a “hands-on” approach that included the personal experiences of the graduates present.  I felt very lucky with the fact that we were all graduates.  This allowed for shorter explanations and longer periods of meditation in actual excercices.  Actually, my health and sleep improved during those three days and I noticed positive reactions in the other participants.

5) I strongly encourage other graduates to take refresher sessions in order to get feedback, correct undetected mistakes or ommissions that may impair their progress and also to remain in touch with other graduates.  As people, we have a lot in common and when we work together, meditation is easier and our energy seems to be amplified.
 
Thank you for this opportunity to start again with renewed knowledge and purpose.
 
J. C.         

And this last one is from Musset Pierre-Jérôme:

Hello Lise

I took the Silva Method Course refresher a couple of week-ends ago.

Since then, I have been meditating everyday by going into Alpha.  It works!!! I want to share with you a few good things that have happened to me in the past 2 weeks.

I applied for 2 positions with the federal government and I was interviewed for both positions prior to taking the course.  Last Thursday, both managers called me and told me that they would like me to work for them.  I was hoping to get 1 job offer but I got 2 job offers.  When it rains it pours!  I accepted one job offer.  I am starting on November 3rd.  Amazing!!!

I started getting interested in the stock market.  I decided to buy a magazine on trading stocks to learn more about this field.  In the magazine there was an ad for a 4 day conference on stock market in Las Vegas.  My wife and I were planning to go to visit this beautiful city in November.  Guess what?  The conference is taking place next month and it is free!!!  Wow!!!!

In order to learn more about the stock market, I was hoping to find a person to talk to who could give me some advice.  Last week Monday, I was walking downtown and I bumped into an old acquaintance of mine.  We talked for a few minutes.  I asked him what kind of work he was doing.  Guess what?  He works for a major financial institution and advises clients on their financial matters.  He is a broker and trades stocks for himself.  I am having lunch with him soon.  Incredible!!!

More about my desire to learn about the stock market: Lise Blouin shared with us a testimonial about a Silva Graduate who had recent successes with the stock market. I asked her to forward my coordinates to this person. I am hoping to get in touch with him in my quest of knowledge. Fantastic!!!

I was looking to get in touch with a Senior Manager that I met a few years ago. I needed some advice on my career. However he had retired and I did not know how to contact him. 

Recently, I was going to take the elevator and this person walked right out of the elevator! He was teaching a Leadership course that week in my building. We exchanged business cards and we will be getting together soon.

Superb!!!!

I really believe in the power of the mind. Keep meditating by going into Alpha.

Silva Method rocks! It really does!!!!

My own comments

It’s always heartwarming to hear and read from graduates who are discovering that with practice the fundamentals of the Silva Method, Desire + Belief + Expectancy means Results. And, it’s so easy to do every day.

Until next time, I wish you a better and better life,
Jay Feuillet

Study: 8 out of 10 Americans stressed because of economy

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

(CNN) — If you’re lying awake at night, feeling angry or fatigued, because of stress, you’re in the majority, according to a nationwide report released Tuesday.

As many as 80 percent of Americans are stressed about their personal finances and the economy, according to the annual survey conducted by the American Psychological Association.

Top sources of stress in previous years were personal finances, work and issues related to raising children, said Dr. Katherine Nordal, the association’s executive director for professional practice.

“This year, the jump was marked in that the No. 1 concern is both money and the economy,” she said. “In my 30 years of experience, in the past, this was not the thing that would be high in complaint lists. Most people are driven to counseling because of relationship problems with marriage and children, depression and anxiety. But what we’re seeing today is that the economy and finances are viewed as significantly more stressful, by more than 8 out of 10 Americans.”
