I first learned Silva Mind Control in about 1980, in a class in Oxnard, CA. I was not new to meditation, but Silva deepened my meditation and awareness of the possibilities of perception. It gave me tools that have served me for over 40 years, and were a foundation on which I have built my inner work as I have explored many other teachings.
The Silva approach remains one of the most powerful approaches I have experienced. It is easy for me to work with because it is unfettered by dogma and without judgment, open to a wisdom that is the essence of the mystery of life. There were many surprising and significant experiences and perceptions in the class.
One that was particularly delightful: in a visualization session, I imagined swimming across a lake (something I had never done and seemed like a lark). Two weeks after the class, friends called and asked if we wanted to go camping with them. We went and we camped by a lake. My friend rowed a boat next to me as I swam across the lake, loving every second!
When I saw this class, based on the Silva Method, I knew I would love to take a refresher course and discover how this teaching has evolved! Taking Lesson 1 of the Silva Ultramind System, it was wonderful to re-experience and remember, seeing how parts have become integral to my life and parts were forgotten. The short relaxation was amazing. I put aside the idea that it would be tedious to go through the slow method and took it to a very deep, very relaxed level. There is no limit to the possibilities. I look forward to the remaining Lessons!
