Developing Intuition with Silva

One of the highlights of the Silva program is the level of intuition that graduates experience, not just in the days AFTER the class. But during the actual class itself.

We asked some graduates to share their stories of intuitions, hunches and sudden moments of clarity that came to them in the days and months following their Silva training.

Here are some amazing stories.

Now here’s a story from Angel Buys. Her experience is quite extraordinary.

I learned so much by taking the Silva Mind Basic course. One of the exercises on eliminating “limiting beliefs” allowed me the opportunity to bring to light a very limiting belief that I developed at the tender age of 11.

At age 11, my dad passed away and I told myself “Now you are not the same as everyone else, you are missing something…there is something missing with you and you are no longer a complete person”. This was an unconscious “belief” that I was able to bring to light and deal with 20 years later. It became apparent to me how limiting this belief had been in my life. I intellectually knew that many people grow up without their fathers but I somehow felt I was different and it was something I made a fact as an innocent, grieving child.

The experience of bringing this limiting belief to light was life-transforming for me. Following this experience, came an even more fulfilling one at the same workshop. While we started to prepare to do “caseworking”, we were doing the exercise on “meeting our guides”. I remember feeling a little nervous anticipating the meeting with my male guide because I thought, in my mind, I was going to meet my dad.

As I had this thought in my mind, I heard my dad’s voice! He said, “Your are not going to “meet” with me, I’ve been with you all along!” This brought with it a sense of joy, peace, and the knowledge that that was true, part of me knew his spirit was always with me, I just had not been in a place of allowing myself to be aware of his presence. I felt his loving embrace, and felt the “oneness” with him…I knew at that moment that I was not missing anything, I was whole and complete and I also realized it had always been this way…I had just been unaware of it.

The Silva Method has transformed my life and I see life so much more differently now. I realize how powerful we are and know that I can tap into that power whenever I choose. I will forever be grateful for these experiences and the Silva Method knowledge.

And here’s from a participant at our August 2007 Anaheim, California Seminar

Intuition can also be used in medical situations…

Ricardo Floyd, a psychiatric social worker in Laredo who worked with Jose Silva during the later years of Mr. Silva’s research in the 1960s is grateful that a trained psychic was available to help correct a problem. Floyd’s son Bobby unexpectedly darted into the street and was struck by a car.

“When I got to the emergency room, I was too upset to go to my center and program,” Floyd recalled. “I kept calling mentally for Jose to come to the hospital.” Suddenly Jose showed up along with his daughter Isabel, his daughter and an excellent psychic. Jose and Isabel went to work on Bobby, mentally repairing the damage to the boy’s body and especially his head.” But something concerned Isabel. “She said she had a hard time hanging on to him, that he kept ‘slipping away.’ She continued working and working with the doctors. She noticed that the doctor repositioned the piece of fractured skull – ‘closed it,’ she said – but she could see inside that the ‘lower table’ was pressing against the brain.

Evidently the impact had pushed it in. She kept telling the doctor mentally to ‘Check inside! Check inside!’ Finally she felt relieved. Later that night, the doctors told me what they had done. It was a repetition of what Isabel had told me. They said they almost lost Bobby, and had to work very hard,” Floyd said. The surgeon said, ‘Originally when I repositioned that piece of bone, it looked pretty good. It looked as though my job was through. Then I felt uncomfortable, and decided to go inside and check.’ That’s when he found that the lower table was pressing on the brain, and repositioned it.

And from a Doctor himself…

I should have written this review 2 years ago, but due to the many changes that have occurred, I have neglected it until now. Extra sensory perception is possible, something that I would have never believed several years ago.

Some background, I was run over 2 and 1/2 years ago, complete with being in a coma. I was in intense pain (with headaches that I was told that I would have the rest of my life as well as back and leg pain) and the brain was pretty well shot. <b>My Neurologist and Neuro-Psychologist both recommended that I start meditating.</b> I had done this years ago, but had fell out of practice and could not get the hang of it again. I stumbled on this book “by accident”.

Suddenly, things started to click. It is not an overnight thing, one has to follow the simple instructions which include an easy 40 day program. <b>I was soon able to walk again,</b> and withing 6 months,was able to return to practicing medicine. I have advanced even further and made a move and am happier than I have been in years. Also, no headaches or any other pain. My medical knowledge returned totally intact.

Now back to the extra sensory perception thing. I have found that most of the time that I am able to figure out my patients’ diagnosis when I first walk into the room and look at them. Of course, I still get x-rays and lab work to comfirm the diagnosis, but I would say that I have a correct diagnosis in about 95% of the cases. How this happens, I cannot tell for sure, but it has made me get some extra tests that confirmed a diagnosis that I got a feeling for when the patient did not even complain of symptoms. I am not confident enough to base my practice on it yet, but it has been a great advantage.

I highly recommend this book and the Silva Ultramind ESP system CD program.

I could keep going with praise for this book and System, but Amazon.com limits one to 1000 words.

And intuition also has applications in the business world. In this example, the purchasing of a home.

Rafael Flores used the alpha level to determine how much he should bid to purchase a repossessed house. He had learned, through practice, that he could rely on the information he detected while at the alpha level, through extra sensory perception and he trusted the impressions he got this time.

He bid $61,280. The high bid was about $500 extra. Even when the high bidder paid the money for the binder, Flores was not concerned.

A week later, the high bidder defaulted, and Flores got the house. He had programmed to bid the right amount, not the highest amount, and saved several hundred dollars as a result.

And did you know that intuition can also be used in sports? In this case, martial arts...

Guiseppina Del Vicario, the 3 years consecutive winner of the Italian martial arts championship in tai chi chuan, said “The ability to correctly anticipate what your opponent is going to do gives you a definite edge in competition. In fact the ability to use your intuition to get information and to anticipate future events is the real secret to outstanding success in every area of life.

And also in the sport of fencing…

To help his fencers develop a strategy, Andrzej Wojcikiewicz, a sports psychologist and former coach of the Canadian National Fencing Team used a special Silva’s Technique. “One fencer imagined putting on the head of a world champion before a match, got the feeling, took off the “helmet”, and then fenced the match with a great success. This techniques was used by some fencers before unusually difficult bouts in order to instinctively plan the correct strategy for the fencing match.”

And competitive shooting

Lance Miller, an international shooting coach at the US Olympic Training Center, said that one of the most important things in the Silva course to help his athlete is intuition. She said “I tell my guys and girls that if everything doesn’t feel right, don’t shoot. When they learn to project their minds to detect problems, this helps them tremendously.”

Now this one is a stunner. A company puts it’s entire team through the Silva course. And one engineer uses a Silva intuitive dreaming technique to invent something new…

The NDM Corporation, located in the Miami River in Dayton, Ohio, manufacturers machines used in the medical field and also develops plastics for use within the human body. Its president took the Silva Method training course, and decided to have all 550 employees trained. The training course started with eighty employees at a time, most of whom were at a management levels. In one oh the first classes was a chemist working to find a new plastic that the body would not reject and that could be used for arteries in bypass surgery. This chemist decided to use a Silva Method technique that puts the mind to work on a problem while you are asleep.

He awoke during the night with a vivid recollection of a dream about a formula. He wrote it down. When he examined the formula at the plant in the morning, it was almost identical to one he had already tried with negative results. “Why waste time”, a colleague said, “we have already worked on that one”. But he had a gut feeling that the small difference in the formula might make a difference. Over the objections of his colleague, he put together a sample, tested it, and it worked!

And this company owner uses intuition for hiring decisions…

Chester was the owner of Dr.Pepper Bottling Co. Chester had three applicants for a position in the company, and he asked for help in making a hiring decision. While envisioning the three applicants, Joe Silva told Chester that the one who looked the best on paper because of his college education would not stay long because he was looking for a management position and the second person was lazy! The third applicant had only high school education, but Joe perceived that he was a good person who enjoyed the results of a job well done. Six months later, I asked Chester for feedback. He had chosen the third applicant and was happy with the new employee. He told me he felt the information Joe had given him was valuable and correct, and he was grateful that we worked the case for him.

In this story, a women uses intuition combined with the Silva Mental Video Technique to help her husband recover from job loss

Just before Christmas 2006 I began to use the Silva Method regularly.. Shortly after I began having strange intuitions and dreams that something about my husband would shortly be ending. At the time he was traveling over 1000 miles per week and was working close to 100 hours. Our family life was at melt down and I planted the question “How do we regain our lives”.

The strange expectation continued until Feb 16 my husband returned from work early with the news that he had lost his job. He is the only provider for the family. Over the next 7 months he searched for work and my “helpful?” suggestions did nothing to move him towards finding new employment.

I used the mental video technique, first bringing together all the images of life as it was with no income, and then life with a new career for him. I surrended the situation to the Universe and three days later suddenly felt the urge to contact an outplacement consultant I had used in the past- she spoke to me and then suggested my husband call a colleague of hers.

He did- and the day after this guy happened to bump into an old friend and asked if he needed a Finance Director- and sure enough he did- even before the guy had seen my husbands CV- two weeks later my husband had a new job!!

Stop the struggle – hand over to this amazing universal force which Jose Silva unleashed for us. As I write this I reflect on a few areas on my life which are less than perfect just now and I am reminded that just as I need to breathe to survive, so too I need to use Silva every day in order to live.

With many blessings

Now this one is seriously impressive. Don’t you wish we could all be this intuitive?

Walked in a casino, went to the roulette table, and used the “instant rapport” technique along with the three scenes technique. I projected into the roulette table itself. After 47 minutes of playing, I walked away with $1600.00 profit. I needed 1300.00 for some car repairs. I went to the casino with just 100 dollars, went home with 1600. Used the 1300 for car repairs and gave the other 300 to the Salvation Army xmas donation. Again, I thank you for your excellent work on the Silva home study programs and your wonderful web site jammed packed with great articles…Thanks again for the response to my questions. Your home study programs are an excellent way to learn. Happy better and better holidays, continued success.

L. Hanes sent this in to our New York City instructor the day after completing a Silva Class in New York City

Your seminar was a tour-de-force. I procrastinated taking a Silva Seminar for 10 years! Better late than never and “There’s a time for everything.” You are a mental wizard and you know your stuff! I have heard some sophisticated metaphysicians downplay the Silva method as a collection of older mystical techniques but who wants a car, or can afford a car, in which EVERY PART is manufactured by one person?! The universal appeal of Silva is the brilliant and exact craftmanship of Mr. Jose Silva’s coordination and innovation. I feel like I gained a graduate degree in success, psychic development and personal power in two relaxing, demanding and social days. Your orchestration was like a classical symphony. I “saw” a Oxford Health Plan card in a person’s pocket book and “pefectly described” her non-attendant boyfriend with one day of your instruction. By the second day you had me “seeing” and healing people hundreds of miles away. Books are great and I got good results from the Ultramind book which led to my purchasing the home correspondence course. It was phenomenal and revolutionized my life which led me to you 7 weeks later. Reading books and listening to tapes about Paris is not like going there with a man who Knows Paris! And now I have all 3! I just worked a case on the child of a friend and while I still respect prayer I Know that I have done something much more powerful. I Know that Silva holds the keys to achieving every one of my goals with Maximum speed and Minimum effort. I’m eternally grateful to you. God Bless!

~ L. Hanes, New York

And a Lottery Win

I enjoyed the seminar so much, it’s kind of funny, over the last 3 weeks I have been going to level 2-3 times a day. Anyways after really trying to create money into my life to get my bills caught up ( about 3-4 months behind on some bills) and start a home healing practice – yesterday after going to level upon coming out of level at 4:14 I was seeing the #441. I bought a $2.00 scratch ticket early in day which I have been doing over the last 3 weeks I won $4,000.00. This is a blessing that will help me bring me closes to my dreams and desires.

In this case, using ESP to help adopt a child

Ken Mitchell, an experienced corporate trainer and a successful businessman, has used Silva techniques with his wife to help them adopting a little Russian girl. Ken was using the Silva techniques for the past five years with such outstanding success that he decided to become a Silva instructor. He explained “What I know now that I didn’t know before is that you ca use your intuition for more than detecting information that you can use in business, to help you make money and get what you want. You can use your psychic ability to communicate with higher intelligence so that those who are helping us can guide us to do the right thing. Jose Silva called that having an invisible means of support.”

But did you know that the experience of experiencing intuition happens within the Silva class itself?

When I was paired up with other people I did not know and, while holding an object of theirs, was able to pick up on a lot of information – something I really did not think I would be able to do when we started the exercise. I think I was more amazed by how “psychic” I was (am), than the people I was paired up with, both of whom were astonished with the amount of detail I picked up on… I think myself and most, if not all, of my seminar mates were amazed with the results we achieved during the seminar. I would even be interested in taking the seminar over again in the future as I think there is more information presented than I was able to appreciate during the seminar.

In this case, saving a life…

Marina Niemeijer, director of Silva activities in The Netherlands salved her life thanks the Silva’s techniques. One night she dreamt that she had a terrible car accident with her husband with a green van implicating a lot of other cars as well. In her dream, her husband died from the accident. When she woke up, she was terrified and she said “I went to my level and asked higher intelligence not to let this happen. I reprogrammed the story in such a way that we were not in this terrible accident.” The next day she had to drive 12 hour. Halfway cars were slowing down, there was an accident with a green van. One car had turned around 180 degrees. She said “I am very grateful for this experience, which showed me that the future consists of a set of possibilities, which, with the help of higher intelligence, we can direct.”

Another unusual application of Intuition…

Tween Coleman, a pilot of a major airline, used her mind to check for problems with the airplane and the weather conditions. Tweet credits the Silva techniques, which she learned in the 1970′s with helping her to achieve so much success.

And in this case, a Silva group was asked to investigate the scene of an accident

Verna Lee Shirley, a graduate from Silva Method, joined a group of cases working. One day there was a terrible accident in her hometown of Spearman, Texas. Four people were killed instantly on a collision of a truck and an automobile. The office didn’t know which driver was responsible and asked for some help. Working on this case, the Silva group had concluded both drivers were responsible because they were working in the middle of the highway instead of their entitled lane. The attorney was not happy to hear that and decided to hire a specialised expert who can look at photos, the wrecked vehicles and road marks to formulate an opinion about the cause. He arrived to the same conclusion as the Silva group.

And for finding a missing US pilot

Much of the intuition comes from dreams. Prof. Clancy D. McKenzie, founder of the American Mental Health Association, uses Silva techniques since 1969. With the help of the creative insights that he gained at the alpha level, Dr. McKenzie made a major medical breakthrough in understanding the cause of schizophrenia and depression that has helped more than 9,000 patients. He explained that he uses the Silva techniques to help his patients in many ways:

“I first learned the technique from the Silva training in September, 1969, and I have been using it ever since. You may have heard about problems being solved or discoveries being made during sleep or during the dream-state. These mostly are sporadic events, in which people just happen to awaken with a bright idea.

The programmed dream is different. It gives us the ability to awaken with that bright idea or solution to a problem, any night, at will. When you fall asleep you reach just as deep a level of consciousness but you are unaware of this state and how to use it.

Utilizing the techniques, you will be able to spend one minute prior to going to bed to formulate a question, and one minute when you awaken to retrieve the answer. There are two techniques I use, and more are taught in the Silva training program.

The first technique is to decide to have a dream about a problem, and decide that the interpretation of the dream will reveal the answer. You further must decide to awaken at the very end of the dream, remember it and write it down. The second technique is to decide the mind will work on a particular problem throughout sleep, and that when you awaken, your first thought will be the answer.”
