The Silva Ultramind System

For me it also feels as one of the most influential programs in my life

Quick summary

After learning the Silva Method as a child in the 1980s, Carla became a life coach exploring the subconscious mind's potential. Decades later, she reconnected with these transformative techniques through Mindvalley, reigniting her lifelong belief in the power of the mind.

I'm so excited to be taking this program. I learned the Silva Mind Method as a kid in the 80s. My parents sent me, my brother and cousins to learn all the techniques during school vacation; I was around 11 years old. It blew my mind, I can still remember learning the 3 finger method, how to visualize, how to fall asleep, staring at my hand and then healing pain or an injury, programming my mind so I would never experience cancer or other diseases. It was my first experience learning about the infinite potential of the mind and how it could be programmed. Right after the program, I went to a Bingo in school, and with my 3 fingers I started saying the numbers in my mind. I won almost 4 times in a row and then got kicked out because I was winning. Eventually, I did the course for adults and got certified again. I really loved the simplicity of the techniques and how they were explained and practiced. I became a Life Coach, always exploring how our subconscious plays a role in our day to day actions and the potential of our minds if we can tap into it. When I was listening to Vishen's story with the Silva Method, I got very excited. For me it also feels as one of the most influential programs in my life. As I tell my kids, I've always believed in "the force" from Star Wars and the power of the mind. Two things that really impacted me as a kid, and have been ingrained in my beliefs. I've been wanting to take this course again for a really long time, today I did the first exercise, the 3 to 1, and it just felt so familiar. I am so happy. Thank you, Vishen for bringing this back.
