Rediscovered! ~~~ Silva Method!

In 1976 I worked second shift at Days Inn Reservation center off Buford Highway in Atlanta.  I got up mid morning each day and listened to talk radio while I did my chores and got ready for work. Neil Boortz was and still is a local talk radio personality and one day he had a guest that intrigued me! Neal Boortz was interviewing a man named Bill O’Hara and they were talking about something called Silva Mind Control. 

The Silva Method is about controlling your own mind, not others, and relaxing to affect a positive change in your attitude and your life.  It sounded like praying and meditation all rolled into one.  I was fascinated!  I remember this day and I remember hearing about the class on the radio.  I took four days of classes in Atlanta from Bill O’Hara called the Silva Method. 

The Silva Method was developed by Jose Silva in and around Laredo, Texas and he began personally teaching this method of relaxation in 1966.  The Silva Method was Jose’s lifetime work and contribution to the planet.  WHAT a contribution!

Since 1976 a lot has changed in my life.  I have been married twice and have one son currently living in Japan with his family.  After he graduated from high school and went off to college, I began searching again for a deeper meaning in my life.  I visited many groups and talked to lots of people about their religious and spiritual practices and beliefs.   I never found a fit for me and had become discouraged, and exhausted with the search.  Even the last several years, I gave up being able to find a way, a practice and a group that met my needs. 

Then this spring I noticed a book on my shelf called “You The Healer” by Jose Silva.  How long had this book been sitting on the shelf, just waiting for me to pick it up?  Of course I grabbed it up immediately and began reading the wonderful words of Jose Silva.  He reached across time and space to remind me of what I learned in those classes 33 years ago.  I was so excited!

My birthday weekend, I took the first 2 days of The Silva Method workshop called Silva Life System, and just a few weeks ago I took the second 2 days called Silva Intuition Training.  After 33 years of searching in all the wrong places, I found the practice and techniques that fulfill me and connect me with my spiritual practice and God.
