It’s a little late, but I really want to share what we all did this New Year’s Eve.

I want to Welcome you to my family, my home. We had a great time this New Year’s Eve, and we did click some pictures. We had invited some people, there were some snacks and drinks and everyone had a great time. We had over 60 people at our place, and it was one great party to start 2009 with.

Here are some memories from the party..

This was the view from the front door:

Meet my Family (from left to right, Illeana, me, Mel and Saralee):

Its me and my King:

This is my best friend Sara Lee, who I named Saralee after:

Everybody, having a great time:

Hope you had a great time, hope you had some great moments that made the evening so much more special.

I hope all of you are having a great 2009 till now, and I wish it only becomes Better and Better.

    It is indeed getting better – My concentration is more focused, I’ve so much more to be grateful for in friends and in developing relationships. When in my naiivete I suffered a Nigerian fraudulent demand for $$$s, all the people I had involved were only gratified at the way the incident ended ! Lliving as tho’ I am prosperous has become a wonderful magnet of my wider community’s infinite and presumptive generosity even of the newer and fresh vegetarian choices that good health recommends…Your inspirations Laura, are so much more infectious than I’ve known and I do want to go on enjoying your company and sharing your examples of living more fully.! Thank YOU !

    Hi Laura and Happy Holiday. Better late than never. So happy to see your girls grown up so beautiful. I remember them at the Ultra Seminar in NY and they were so well bewhaved even as little kids. And I remember you talked about how one of them wanted to go to Mexico on some guy’s motorcycle and I told you thy needed discipline and they would thank you for it later.
    I have taken Silva aabout 30 times over the years and though my life isn’t perfect, I am now 65 years old and look and have the energy and health of some body much much younger. I meditate every morning since 1987 when I took Silva for the first time and I solve most of my own health problems without a doctor. I don’t recommend it for everybody but it works for me. Some projects I’m still working on. Life is an ongoing project. But my councellors are my best friends and see me through every issue in my life. I always pass my decisions past them. If I would only take their advice! Anyhow I wish you and your family and the entire Silva family of graduates adn newcomers a wonderful year and hope the whole world gets BETTER AND BETTER Love and Light JANET WOLFMAN

    Happy Year Laura:

    I have been listening to the Silva Ultra mind tapes for a while now and while they are relaxing I have not been able to achieve the results that are promised in the tapes. I have tried the broadcasting techniques many times and have only had success once. I have also tried the video techniques and have had no success. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. If so I do not know how to correct this.

    I also purchased Burt Goldman’s series, The Mind Box, and have not been able to achieve any notable positive results with this program either.

    Can you offer any any help in this matter.

    Thanks

    Laura,

    It’s been a wonderful 2009 so far. Thank you for sharing your photos. You are an incredible decorator and have a beautiful family. I have been so inspired by all your messages and I believe that’s why my new year is off to such a wonderful start. I’m hoping one day you will make a trip to Minnesota to speak to those of us who appreciate your dad’s work. It would be a pleasure to meet you and learn more.

    Much love & many successes,

    Kelly

    Many years ago, more than 30, I learned about Silva method, for the mind, because even my father, I know he was doing some practice about meditation. One friend give me the Silva’s book and I did some practice and still I’m doing it. Seriously, that is the best for your happiness and health. Everybody doing this, is blessed by God.
    God bless you and your family and friends. Teresa

  21. G. Eric January 27, 2009 at 8:49 pm #

    Happy 2009,
    You have a lovely family and the party looks like it was fun. This is and will be a great year full of new beginnings and accomplishments achieved. My wife and I are continuing our growth as individuals and as a couple with the Silva method. The concept and message in the program is enhancing and complimenting other seminar and workshop experiences we started long before we were introduced to Silva. Keep getting better and better and may there be prosperity to us all. Keep the faith.

    Hello Laura,
    Thanks for sharing pictures and hope the year is full of celebrations, goodtimes and everybody inch closer to their goals.
    I havent been able to derive the full benefit as I am in the process of settling down at a new place. Havent yet come down to a regular routine. However, I do listen to the down loaded centering audio daily.

    Plan to do the home training course shortly,after getting my PC and music systems etc and most importantly receiving my pay check.

    I have faith in your system and woul;d definately give my best shot. At the moment , I feel good and relaxed after the exercise but still unsure if I have reached the desired level. Also, I cant visualise even though I keep on trying. May be the home series training would help.

    Until then! Keep on doing the good work

    Rakesh

    Hello Laura,
    Greetings from Nairobi,Kenya. It’s a pleasure to have met you and got introduced to your Dads fantastic piece of discovery. It is only a pity that some of could not afford some of the stuff from this part of the world in relation to all that is going on around us. Of much interest was the remote viewing and remote influencing by O’donnel which I was introduced to by Michael Jura. Otherwise, great pictures and wonderful family. God bless you all.

    Thank you for sharing your New Year’s with the world… and I thank especially your father and his legacy for having blessed the world with the Silva Method… It has survived so many decaded of self-help seminars, books…etc… I am using it with my work for my life, with my family… endless possibilities and what I appreciate the most about how this method was taught to me is that I don’t ever remember people comparing themselves to each other – no peer pressure no pressure from the group (something I have found in other self-development groups and did not particularly appreciate…)

    hi laura, thank you for sharing those phtos of you , famuily, and friends. the questions i have to ask, why the white face mask at the entrence of the christmas tree room. i feel the white face mask is there to represent a symbolic portal into a sacred place-the christmas tree room. a place wheree one leaves their problems , for a time, behind. if thisis the meaning, i am all for it. wishing you, family and friends, a healthy and properous new year. bernard and eileen

  50. Danielle February 4, 2009 at 6:39 am #

    Hi Laura

    Thanks for your wishes and all your positiveness that we need at each moments of our life. I had done the seminar back in 1994 in Mauritius and what to say;miracles started to happen. doors for opportunites were opening and so many goals achieved in record time and good spirit with help of friends during our monthly meetings at Vacoas and QBornes. Now we have moved to New Zealand and I really miss those quality Silva Saturdays of 3 hours of meditating,sharing of success stories and hints that each could bring to one another. However my 3 fingers are still doing awesome jobs for my parking and the positive attitude as well as vizualisation keep me achieving my goals.
    thanks for all and may the divine light always be with you.

    cheers

    Danielle

  51. Jeri February 5, 2009 at 2:37 am #

    Hi….My name is Jeri Z and I just opened this e-mail with your pictures. To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know where to start or what even to say. Ever since I was a child, I have had an innate trust in “God” or “the universe” or whatever you want to call the loving, creating, energy that we are all apart of. That belief has carried me through more seemingly “traumatic” or “bad” events, then I feel like is “my” fair share. But sitting here right now, looking at your pictures, feeling very happy for you, truly I do, but somehow bewildered that I am not living the kind of life you are. I am probably at my lowest in every area of my life right now, than I have ever been. If I told you everything that has happened to me, geeze, that sounds so much like victim talk, but I’m not like that. I am not a victim, but I have gone through so much stuff, that people are always telling me I need to write a book. I know that I create my own circumstances. I know that I create my own universe, I am a Unity student and have been for the last 30 years, but I feel like I am floating in the middle of an ocean, I have a little floatie thing, not even a boat, more like a little blow up ring thingy I put around my chest, and I an kicking my feet, to help stay afloat, and singing. So when I am looking at myself close up, I see someone in dire straights but still confident that everything is going to work out. Like, I don’t like where I am, but thankful there are no sharks around……and then I can see the big picture, where there is absolutely nothing around me for hundreds of miles…….but yet I am still kicking and singing…….How in the world do I meld those two points of thought that come from my brain and my emotion, into a feeling that will get me onto dry land, with the knowledge to survive dry land too? Sometimes I feel like I learned how to escape the ocean, only to find myself in the desert……I am not a
    victim, nor am I a negative person. I just feel so lost right now……
