Free eGuide to Create Your 2010

Choose + Clarify + Focus + Receive

This is a simplistic view at how every person creates, modifies and adjusts what they have/do/be in life.

The absolutely fantastic awesome rejuvenating news is that this is under YOUR control.

Everyone is doing this either intentionally or automatically. When we run on autopilot we are doing these steps automatically and they are based on the past… thus we keep having/doing/being the same things in life. That is good for those aspects of life that are always working well.

But what about those aspects of life that are not working so well?

Then it’s time to do something different. What better time than now… the New Year!

The end of each year is a great time to evaluate the current year to see what worked, what didn’t work and how much on the ‘right track’ you feel that life is going. This has become something I enjoy doing for the past many years.

So my New Year Gift to you, to say thank you, is your Personal Guide to Choose Your Life in 2010.

This is a small workbook. Print it out. Get a cuppa tea, a pen and a blanket and have fun imagining.

What It Is All Truly About

Mind Technology de-stress re-train

Mind Technology de-stress re-train

I held the Silva Life System class in San Antonio in Susan’s house last weekend. We did it there because she had tried to refresh the class (she had taken the original BLS class in mid-1970’s) in August but is supersensitive to dusts and things in the air that most of us are not sensitive to… due to a genetic health condition.

Remembering that one of Jose Silva’s dreams was to have a healer in every household I looked forward to it. Since this is a subjective educational system it is a matter of training those people who are curious enough to learn something new and powerful.

Interestingly, since this class was a little more focused on healing that it drew someone else with a progressive illness to attend. A hypnotist, Karen Peterson, who practices in San Antonio recommended the classes to a gentleman. So, we got to help him create a visualization/imagination scene with specific measurable benefits to use as he continuously will be re-programming his brain to direct the body to heal. Every time he practices creating these scenes by directing his thoughts he is directing the energy that runs through all the intelligent network of pathways to cause change.

Having taught several people with physical health conditions this reminds us how important our underlying health is to our life. Without vibrant health we are less effective in life in some way; it is vital… and mostly under our direction.

Who’s the healer in your household?

Finding a lost item

So, I got home about 8:30 from teaching Silva Life System to hypnotists in Boerne, Texas. Great class. One of my best yet; the last half of this year have had some of the most impactful and energy-filled classes. Good reason to refresh…

Monday I had to go somewhere and my wallet was not where I usually put it. I was feeling tired so I just casually looked for it, remembering when I last had it. I knew it would show up sometime that day. By the time I needed to leave to make a deposit and go set up someone’s computer system, I still didn’t know where my wallet was.

So, I finally went to use a Silva Method technique to find it…

I went to level and visualized the last time I remember touching it planning to trace what I did next with it. I did briefly see where it was but didn’t trust it fully as it was a “light” impression.

So, I did another technique. I cleared my mind visualized the wallet then asked where it is. I cleared my mind and listened for the first words. They were not strong either.

So, I did one that works well for me. At level I visualized and moved my hands as if I was touching and feeling around my wallet; these are strong memories since I’ve had it for a couple of years at least. I brought back those feelings, smells and memories. Then I started to connect with the energy of the wallet and made that energy strong. After doing this I programmed that energy that it would immediately draw my attention to it when I was close by.

Finally, as a cap off to confirm it will happen… I made up a program saying that I was going to count from 1 to 5. At the count of 5 I will open my eyes and will immediately be drawn to where the wallet is located. I will find it and it will be effortless.

I carried out the plan, opened my eyes and was drawn immediately to the pair of short pants I was wearing last night and found my wallet in a pocket. This was where I first saw it with my first attempt.

Hopefully it is useful  ideas on how to apply the Silva Method concepts to finding a lost item.

Great time at Silva Method Potluck Meetup

Silva Mind Method Potluck Social & more Meetup

Silva Mind Method Potluck Social & more Meetup

Just wanted to let you know how we had a good time at Tuesday’s Austin Silva Method Potluck Meetup and the date of the next one.

You can sign up for free for that grouphttp://www.meetup.com/Silva-Mind-Method-in-Central-Texas/.

Thanks to Dick Dunbar who owns a condominium in the complex, we can use a very good clubhouse space for meetings. Kitchen/eating area in one half and meeting space in the other half.

On the menu: salads, sushi, various cookies, homemade Indian food, yummy beans and sweet potatoes. Hungry yet? We had coffee, water, tea to drink. Thank you to everyone for bringing some food and refreshments to share.

We chatted about things for awhile. Dowin told us about different minerals and rocks he carries and uses; he had 2 golden azeztulite that had a lot of energy in them and had given him a personal energetic detox experience. He’s a real enthusiast and good resource in this plus he is closely linked to Nature’s Treasures; two great stores in Austin for all kinds of minerals, all sizes and lots of decorative things.

There were several graduates who had taken classes before; a few from more than 30 years ago… then from the last class. So each of us who had taken it before shared how some experience, recent or past, of how it has impacted our lives.

Then we adjourned to the other side of the meeting room and discussed a fundamental outline of how anyone can achieve what they desire to have, do or be. With an internal desire strong enough to motivate you to do something different, i.e. make a change, this is how you direct your life with intention:

  1. Direct your mind and body into a Relaxed Focus. This is the fundamental skill learned in classes. At its simplest, this can be done by sitting in a relaxed spot indoors or outdoors. Relaxing music, if that’s helpful. Control your breath and direct the mind and body to relax using self-directing words, images and feelings.
  2. Pro-actively use your imagination to create an image on a mirror of what you desire to have, do and be. Draw it in your mind as you would like to allow it into your life. Know and feel that it is already done and complete.
  3. Be persistent. This is a step that is often overlooked. For many reasons we tend to want fast results and if we do not get it then we give up and confirm, declare to yourself and then believe that “it” didn’t work. Our research from our world-wide reach shows that all you have to do is allot 5 minutes a day, at a minimum, to initiate your mind to show you the path to the change you seek. This is your guidance system that then activates the Law of Attraction… as in the movie The Secret.

One question was about the use of emotions in the process. This is important. Every amount of seconds and minutes that you direct your imagination to practice what it looks like and what it feels like to have what you desire. I see emotions as a faculty we have to generate our life; equivalent to an activating catalyst to speed things up.

We are all rehearsing for our life by our current predominant thoughts. We might as well learn to get it under our control.

We then began a goal-energizing process:
Everyone wrote on the chart their name and their goal to prepare for our Goal Creating Mind Cycle. We went through the process outlined above and everyone created a direct experience in their own minds of having what they desire to have, do and be. Then, for step 3, I mentioned to just visualize that same desired and imagined slice of life for 5 or so minutes each day, at a minimum. Keep doing this for however long it takes. Some things happen quickly. Others take some time. Bottom line: it generally will happen as long as we persist in directing our mind while following up on opportunities that arise as a result.

It was fun to enthusiastically hear right after this empowerment exercise that people wanted to do this again next month.

So, it’s on. Same location, on Tuesday November 17th 7 to 9:15 pm. Free.

Location : The Summit Condominiums Clubhouse, 2425 Ashdale Rd, Austin, TX (north on Burnet Rd above W. Anderson Ln. – NorthCross Mall).

For those who were there and for anyone who wants to join in this process now, I look forward to hearing about the things in life that start to change as a results of doing the outlined procedure for 5 minutes a day. Please phone in, email and bring with you to the next meetup questions, questions and results. We will handle them and continue to end with an empowering and self-directing group experience to keep you moving forward and self-directed in life.

San Antonio folks – Does someone have a home or a clubhouse that we can use to do the same sort of monthly event there? I will commit to driving there to hold the meeting… just let me know. I came down for a meeting two weeks ago. I will see if anyone has a place before I set the next meeting.

Success: One step at a time

A bowl of one success at a time

A bowl of one success at a time

My Zimbio
Recommend this site!

I have found it wonderful when people share their successes with me AND when I have people around me who get it that sharing success is a way of keeping it and creating more.

I just returned from holding my first Silva Method Meetup in San Antonio for my way of supporting graduates who want support and introducing new people to this. It went very well.

Here’s synchronicity for you. I stopped in Buda to get gas on the way to San Antonio this afternoon. A man was getting gas behind me and came over to ask me about what I did; he had seen the lettering on my Tahoe.

He commutes from San Antonio to Austin for work and was on his way home. I invited him to the meeting. He said he had a meeting but asked where I was hosting the meeting so I told him. He ended up showing up and is very excited about what it could do for his life. Synchronicity. Intuition. Are they different? I passed up several gas stations in Austin and decided to stop on the highway; first time ever to do that. That’s what we teach and it works: to cause synchronicities and intuition automatically.

I showed up at the Unlimited Thought Bookstore and set up for my meeting at 7 pm. They said they had money for me. What? Ears perk up? One DVD, one Crystal Bowl CD and several Silva Method Long Relax CDs sold. This is my first ever retail store to have some product in AND it works. Yippee!

Anyone have any bookstores they want to suggest?

Be sure to check out my new Meetup Group for Silva Method for Austin and San Antonio. Sign up. I have a meetup scheduled in Austin on October 13th. http://www.meetup.com/Silva-Mind-Method-in-Central-Texas Most importantly, let me know what you want in a support meeting.

Thanks and success to you…

An Angel Appeared

Pondering Life

Pondering Life

On Wednesdays from 11 am to 1 pm I am at the Center for Spiritual Living, Greater Austin to hold the consciousness for the community and to offer donation-based Spiritual Mind Treatments. [NOTE: Since the center is moving, I will not be doing this until we find another space.]

I was there two weeks ago and had one of those “real moments” that make life valuable.

I was in treatment for the center and I heard the door open. This lady I did not recognize came in. She introduced herself as Melissa. She said that she was riding by (on her bike) and was reminiscing about a time before we were using this space. I invited her to look around. I then got to witness a beautiful event as seen from the heart.

Evidently our space used to be an AA office. 15+ years ago she came in, scared, shoe-less and needing a miracle. She had no shoes in her life, was staying drunk and other bad things which I will not write here. She pointed to the spot just inside our sanctuary and said that she sat there as far in the back away from the speaker in the front as possible – scared to death. She was so withdrawn and non-trusting that no one could touch her.

At one point a woman at that meeting came over and told her that she was going to braid her hair. She has very long hair down to her lower back. Melissa did not object. A tear started streaming down her face as she recounted this memory and let this unknown woman braid her hair. She said at that moment her “armor” started to crack a little bit.

She then pointed out that the office for our minister was the half-way room for those who were too afraid to commit to the big room; they would gather there and talk. Have you ever been that scared about your life?

She pointed to the kitchen and said that is the first place she ever did service for anyone or any organization. She continued to recall important spots in the building where healing moments along her journey occurred. It was a beautiful journey, accompanying her on her memory of acknowledgment of her personal progress.

Then she said that where the podium currently is, is where she and her husband renewed their vows, sober together for the first time.

I am the most lucky person on the planet at this moment. To witness someone sharing their story of recovery in such a powerful moment in her life. I could feel her growth in the few minutes she reminisced and shared. Then she gave me a hug. A beautiful moment for sharing.

Especially at this time when we are about to move away from this space because the owner is allowing all tenants’ leases to expire without renewing them. To know that this space for at least 15+ years has been used for healing is powerful. It is nice to know that this healing energy will continue to spread into the new uses of the property.

This is what I call a real moment with a real angel. I had to read a book called Real Moments by Barbara DeAngelou while studying to become a licensed Science of Mind practitioner. It was about having those moments in life that you remember; that impact you on a deeper level. Those moments when two people drop facades and connect from the heart.

[An aside: There's a graphic that Frank Natale used to use, facetiously called the fried egg, that describes our crust which develops over time that serves to separate us and others from our true selves and each other. I'll post about it sometime - and do a class about it; personally powerful stuff.]

This was the perfect reminder for me that day of my own progress from my troubled background. Once in a while it is important to acknowledge ourselves for the evolution we have made in this lifetime. Surely we are not the same person we were 10, 20 or even just 5 years ago. I certainly hope not. Quite often we get ’stuck’ in the gotta-do-to-get mode in life and forget to pause and take stock of how good life really is.

When was the last time an angel visited you?

What is “useful” Intuition

Intuition is instinctive knowing (without the use of rational processes)
from wordnetweb.princeton.edu

This is one of the many layers of the Silva Method proven subjective educational system: to train a person’s mind to have an ever-increasing faculty of intuitive knowing.

Examples

I decided that I wanted a unique desk/table for my meditation area. I shopped every once in a while and could not find “it”; the right one. A month or so later I was in San Antonio before an event eating at the Souper Salad at 410 @ Blanco Rd. While eating I heard ‘go into the Goodwill’; there is one next door. I never go to Goodwill. I have friends who are great Goodwill shoppers; so I ask them to find things for me once in a while. I have gone in before but just couldn’t find anything. So I discarded the thought of going into Goodwill. I heard it again and again while eating.

I finally accepted that I should follow this persistent hunch and went into the Goodwill. I went up and down aisles and didn’t see anything. Then I walked to the back and found the unique desk-table that I looked and would work well for my meditation area. So, I bought it.

Now, I know even more so. Follow those thoughts that creatively enter my mind.

I’ll ask these questions that lead to different areas that many Silva Method graduates have had intuitive ‘hits’:

What if you were heading home from work and would hear to take a particular route so that you avoid a major traffic jam?

What if you are talking to a sales person and want to know if this is right for you to do?

Would it be an advantage to know what your client needs BEFORE you meet him or her?

If you are having difficulty communicating with someone, would it help to have the skill to detect what the problem might be?

What about knowing which place to move into that will be best for you? Or which job to take? Or what company to approach for a job? Or…

Many people have a difficult time comprehending the fact that they can simply take a class that trains their minds in a way that creativity, intuition and hunches start happening. The thing that I also find interesting is that many people want something different but when that something different is right in front of them it becomes “too weird” or “unbelievable” to do… even though there is decades of research and LOTS of people doing it… so that they live a better quality of life.

Here’s one more example for you: A realtor began a million-dollar closing club just 3 years after getting her license using all the Silva Method techniques. I have her telling her story on video; it’s great – all the poofy 80’s styles ;-) This was someone who really wanted success! The article she wrote is here.

How much do you truly want a better life? Or that job that is better than what you have? Or more income?
AND… What are you willing to do differently for it?

A wedding – Friends – Eufaula, OK

Wedding Cakes

Wedding Cakes

It’s 4:00 am on Saturday and we have to get up to drive north for a wedding. Last night it rained so much that I-35 was closed north of Austin. I sit in the car, put my three fingers together, relax, imagine a protective bubble of energy around the Tahoe and visualize a safe, easy and enjoyable trip. Six and a half hours later we have arrived in Eufaula, Oklahoma checking into the Eufaula Inn. We are here for a friend’s wedding at the Longtown Full Gospel Church. It’s not Hankamer, Texas but I recognize my southern roots in the people’s demeanors and beliefs, the small town and all that goes with that. Take a deep breath and be here for the groom, I tell myself.

It is 1:00 pm and they are ready to start. They say that every wedding has a story. Well, Dan and Anna have a story. It has been raining here for days and the power goes off… exactly at the beginning time of the wedding. With the power goes the piano music that was being played behind the maroon sheers that hang behind the podium for the activities. Dan’s grandmother offers to play the acoustic piano but the people in charge do not go for that. They decide no music and no candles. They open the door to let the warm and humid rain-filled breeze to waft through the quickly warming sanctuary. This should be fun ;-)

A lady uses a small flashlight to read her introductory statements. The flashlight is passed to an elderly woman who has the bible and commands the wedding party to walk down the aisle. Select parents and grandparents come down the aisle with no music. Children next. In silence and tropical humidity the groom is sweating at the front as everyone rises and watched the bride walk down the aisle. The ceremony was nice with many cameras flashing to capture the moments.

A sweaty groom and obviously warm bride now take many of the required pictures. Afterwards we all walk a few steps from there into the hall where they have prepared a meal. With the recliners, boxes, cabinets and folding tables around the plywood framed room I am reminded that we are in a small town church. We enjoy a good meal and watch the presents being opened followed by the toss of the bouquet and garter.

Then, as if on cue, as soon as the garter is tossed by the groom, the lights come back on. The gods do have a sense of humor.

Sunday morning we are going to meet Dan’s family and new wife for breakfast before we drive back to Austin. I walk out and see that I have a flat on my car; new tires and I have a flat. Oh well. That is changed and we have breakfast. We drive back to Austin. I stop in a small town and get some fruit and vegetables from a roadside stand. She gives me a ripe peach; that is sooo good. That is one of the things I loved about living in Ventura/Oxnard, California. I would stop at a roadside stand on my way home and get fresh everything for dinner. That doesn’t exist here in Austin except for the once a week stands.

At least the drive back was only in eighty percent rain. There was one bad accident and lots of slow downs due to rain. My safe bubble around the car and visualizing a safe journey worked. We arrive home Sunday evening. All in all, it was fun and worth the thirteen hour drive in two days.
