(From top 10 2023) On today's episode #322 REVIEW of the TOP 4 Episodes from 2023” we will cover: ✔ PART 1: PRACTICING THE 3 STEPS TO ACCESSING THE ALPHA STATE, USING YOUR MENTAL SCREEN FOR HEIGHTENED VISUALIZATION AND MAKING USE OF WHAT YOU SEE. ✔ PART 2: PRACTICE THE 3-SCENES TECHNIQUE WITH A PROBLEM YOU WANT TO SOLVE ✔ PART 3: TAKE THE DREAM WORLD SERIOUSLY AND SLEEP LONG ENOUGH TO LEARN FROM YOUR DREAMS. ✔ PART 4: USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO TAP INTO YOUR CREATIVE MIND. Welcome back to SEASON 11 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. On today's episode #322 we will be taking a close look at the Top episodes of last year as we reflect on our past year. While we are now in the middle of Q1 of 2024, I still think it's important to “study the past, to define the future” like Confucius said. While thinking about this episode, my good friend and paranormal researcher Ryan O'Neill who we met on EP 203[i] tagged an image he created for me on Facebook, from 11 years ago, and reminded me of this concept when he said “it's good to look back to see how far you travel.”[ii] Ryan's post helped me to stop, reflect on the past 11 years, and see that progress forward happens one step at a time. Imagine yourself at the top of a spiral staircase, looking down, and you'll see how far you've come. Or like Steve Jobs said in his famous speech, it's much easier to connect the dots looking backwards. The graphic Ryan O'Neill created 11 years ago talks about the importance of “always maintaining a winning attitude” and I can say it's not always easy to do this, when times are difficult, (thinking of the stairs we must climb, the barriers or obstacles to break through on the way). We might trip, and it feels like we are going backwards, but maintaining a winning attitude along the way is one of those timeless principles that I know has shaped where I've ended up. IMAGE: The beautiful Bramante Staircase[iii] from the Vatican Museum. What about you, the listener? Take a look at the image in the show notes of the beautiful Bramante Staircase from the Vatican Museum. Imagine yourself at the top, and then reflect back on the past 10 or 11 years of your life, (like looking down a spiral staircase) and think about what do you notice. What timeless principles have kept you on track over the years? Looking backwards, what do you see? This episode is definitely written with you, the listener in mind. Looking back at the past year and the episodes that you were drawn to the most, at the end of 2023, I was initially surprised to see all 4-PARTS of The Silva Method hitting the top of the list. I wanted to Dive Deeper into The Silva Method to see how I could improve my own meditation practice, and I had no idea how impactful this episode series would be. It was actually a video series created by Spotify of my Year in Review that caught my eye. It told me that: PART 1 of The Silva Method was our most downloaded episode ever. I could see that with over 6,000 downloads. Spotify shared this episode was streamed 999% more than our average episode telling me that the topic of improving intuition, creativity and focus is of high interest to the world. That 95 % of our listeners discovered our podcast in 2023. Thank you for tuning in. And 46% of our listeners started listening to us with PART 1 of The Silva Method. Now I'm so glad that I took the time to study and learn The Silva Method alongside our new listeners. For this recap of our TOP episodes from 2023, I decided to review the Top 4 episodes from our Deep Dive into The Silva Method, since they were downloaded significantly more than others, and I've got to say that they are thorough, they require deep thought and effort for the results we are all seeking to be revealed. And only with the application of these episodes, we will learn to “use our mind in a special manner to do astounding things for us, as we'll soon see.” (Jose Silva). What we are talking about in this 4 PART SERIES is The Creative Process. The series was designed to walk us through the steps to take, to turn MIND into MATTER. I'm studying this concept deeply right now, this month with Paul Martinelli with his Think and Grow Rich book study, but this is essentially what this 4 PART series was about. We've all heard of MIND OVER MATTER, but this is not the same. We are not using force here to coerce others to do anything, or to use our will power to urge other people (or ourselves) to do something we want to occur. We are using our MIND (working from the inside-out, rather than using anything or anyone from the outside-in), allowing our MIND to work by DESIGN not DEFAULT. We are teaching ourselves to see the possibility that exists in the world, around us, and show us ALL that we can CREATE whatever it is that we want, using these timeless principles. Before I go on, just look around you right now, and take inventory of what you see. I'm sitting at my desk, in my home office, writing this episode, and I see a few pens, a highlighter, some fancy water to help me to focus while writing, my Rodecaster Pro microphone and audio equipment to the right of my desk. Now look at what you see, and take inventory of where you are right now. Now think, every single thing that you see, was created twice, as it was someone's dream to create the things we see and use in our everyday world. Someone dreamed up the fancy water I'm drinking, or the yellow highlighter, or the high-tech mic that I record these episodes with. My message here is “Don't ever wonder if your idea will work, (there's a market for everything in this world) and think of the opportunity that surrounds you, every day, and with the development of our MIND, we can say for certain that FAILURE is impossible.” We'll cover this closer at the end, but what I'm saying here is not that things will go smoothly for you, with whatever it is that YOU want to create, and that by studying this 4-part series, you'll be able to make all your dreams come true. This we know isn't how the story goes. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns, and times you will feel defeated. But Napoleon Hill would say this is “temporary defeat” which is not at all a failure. Before seeing the results from Spotify about this 4-PART Series, and even before I decided to cover The Silva Method, I had no idea just how deep the book and program would go, and mentioned that we'll review the online course at a later time, but for now, this review will give us all plenty of new ideas for how to improve our visualization/mental screen method to help skyrocket our short term and long term goals for 2024, and solidify the fact that failure is impossible. I'd love to hear from you what you have thought of this 4-part series, where we tied in the most current brain research to Jose Silva's work, reminding me that “once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.”[iv] On today's episode #322, we'll review the 4 parts of The Silva Method and see what else we can add to the strategies learned, keeping in mind that I'm learning and implementing these ideas alongside you, wherever you are listening in the world. Before we look at The Silva Method, there's something important to think about first, to orient this study in our current year. It's now the beginning of February, and you've probably already got 2024 planned out already, but before we leap into the actions we are taking in this New Year, if you haven't reflected on the wins you've attained in the past year, this is probably the most important step of closing out an old year, and moving into a new one, and it's never too late for this reflection. I learned this year-end ritual from Jim Bunch[v], who has been walking me through this year-end wrap up for the past 9 years at least, preparing those who tune in all over the world to his method, for a fresh mind moving into the New Year. We did cover his process of creating energy from your 9 environments on EPISODE #103[vi] that launched our year back in 2021, with “The Neuroscience of Leadership: 3 Ways to Reset, Recharge and Refuel Your Brain.” On this episode recorded 3 years ago, we reviewed the process of self-reflection, to evaluate the areas of your life (your 9 environments) to notice where energy might be leaking, that you could direct somewhere else in the New Year. This self-reflection activity is a good way to close out an old year, and move into a new one, as it allows you to put some thought into your WINS, and what worked well for you in the past year. He has a printable download that goes with this activity, and what's interesting, is that without looking at your calendar, just by going off the top of your head, see if you can write out some of your wins. Without some deep reflection, you will notice that it's EASY to see the things that went wrong last year (the losses) but to see the WINS, it takes serious thought, because of our built-in negativity bias, that Dr. Rick Hanson tells us to remember--“our brain is like Velcro for negative experiences (we are attracted to the negative experiences) but our positive experiences, slide off like Teflon.” We must be intentional about reflecting on the positives that we incurred, and integrate these wins into our identity, before moving into a New Year. Let the losses roll off us. This practice will guarantee that you are building a stronger, better, more resilient, and improved version of you, each year. Now for the TOP 4/10 most listened to episodes of 2023-as voted by you, the listener! #1 The Silva Method- Part 1[vii] This episode opened up with a quote that we went back to often in the year. “Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva (August 11, 1914-February 7, 1999) author of The Silva Mind Control Method. This episode launched a series taking us on a deep dive into the benefits of developing a meditation practice. This was before we dove deep into Joe Dispenza's meditations, and a good place to begin to look closer into the depths of our mind. The goal of this series initially, was to help all of us to reduce stress with this deep mind practice, but also to see if we can learn something new, and refine our practice for those who work in our schools to improve learning, in our sports environments for improved focus and concentration towards a specific goal, and in the corporate workplace for ideas to improve creativity and focus. We began this series reviewing Jose Silva and Philip Miele's The Silva Mind Control Method[i] that's based on the Revolutionary Program by the Founder of the World's Most Famous Mind Control Course. On PART 1 of this book review covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method ✔ What this program has done for others (in business, the sports world, or just regular people looking to improve their life in some way). ✔ Ch 2- We met Jose Silva ✔ Ch 3- We looked at How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization (how to access this screen) and finally ✔ How to Help Ourselves and Others With this Practice How Do We Use the Silva Method to Access the Alpha State Where All the Magic Begins? STEP 1: HOW TO ACCESS THE ALPHA STATE: YOU CAN ACCES THE ALPHA STATE WHEN YOU FIRST WAKE UP, BEFORE BED, and ANY OTHER TIME YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES TO RELAX YOUR MIND. The Alpha State is the easiest state to access as we will already be in this state the first 5 minutes after we wake up. Jose Silva suggests the 40 Day Technique to guarantee you are at the Alpha Level where you begin by counting backwards from 100 to 1 for 10 mornings, then you can count from 50-1 for the next 10 mornings, then from 20-1 for 10 mornings, and then 10-1 until you get to 5 to 1. PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE: Begin using the 100-1 countdown at night, in the morning, or whenever you plan to access the alpha level to begin to improve your current practice. In my first few days of practicing this method before sleep, and the first couple of nights, I fell asleep before I could get to 1. Keep trying. After 10 days, you can progress to the next step, until you are able to access the alpha state from counting from 5-1. Eventually you can access this state quickly, and even while walking around as Dr. Dispenza teaches us. STEP 2: ONCE YOU REACH THE ALPHA STATE, THEN WHAT? Next, you will learn to use a Mental Screen for Heightened Visualization Once you have accessed the Alpha State, Silva reminds us: “right from the beginning, from the very moment you reach your meditative level (what he calls accessing the Alpha State), you must learn to practice visualization. The better you learn to visualize, the more powerful will be your experience with Mind Control.” There's an important part to this visualization process that I have to add here. I actually started writing this review over the Christmas holiday break, and I'm always looking around for what I can “see” that will add to what I'm writing and then I saw it. In the lobby of a hotel I was staying in, I saw a sand timer sitting on the counter reminding me of this exact concept from a lesson that Brian Proctor shared with us on EP 292[viii]. I thought it was really weird to see a sand timer sitting in the middle of a hotel lobby, but when you pay attention to what you are seeing, there are messages everywhere. Here's what I saw with the sand timer that ties into this lesson. Let go of the past, (the sand that's sitting in the bottom of the timer) it's gone. Next, don't worry about the future, it hasn't happened yet, but what's important is for us to do every day, is to stay focused on the present moment, just like what we learned from Dr. Joe Dispenza. How do we learn to drop into the present moment? THE SILVA METHOD: With the Silva Method. And we may all be at different stages of our journey here, and we'll have all learned from many different teachers. But for this review, will we be putting Jose Silva's Meditation INTO PRACTICE: When you close your eyes, what do you see? Raise your eyes up a bit (about 20% upwards above the horizon of what you see). Is it black on your mental screen, or can you use your mind to “see” things? Begin with simple things like an orange or an apple. This takes time and practice. This mental screen will help you in many ways as we move through different lessons, and is important, but don't be tied to what you think you should see. We are all at different stages of learning. I started seeing things on the screen of my mind starting in my late 20s, and things would flash sometimes when I was relaxed. I never did have control over what I was seeing. It just happened, and I would either know what I was seeing, or be wondering “what on the earth is that” and with time, effort and practice, I have gained more control over what I'm able to visualize, or “see” on this mental screen, so I can put it to better use. Looking back at this step now, a year after putting it into practice, I noticed if I want to “see” something on the screen of my mind, it helped to say what I wanted to see in thought, and then patiently wait. When I'm relaxed, without trying to force anything, I could then “see” the world on this mental screen. This is an extraordinary practice to experience. You can be in one part of the world, and running through the mountains in another, all on your mental screen. What you see and feel in your mind can be used to enhance whatever you are working on when you open your eyes, in the “real” world. Isn't this astounding? STEP 3: Now Utilize This Power With time and practice, it will be this screen that you will learn to use, to help yourself and others. You begin with creating simple things, until you are ready to solve small problems in your daily life, from work, to health, and improve learning/creativity. This is the power of putting The Silva Method into practice and it just takes a bit of patience. PUTTING PART 1 INTO PRACTICE: Just begin here with playing around with what you can create on the screen of your mind in the Alpha State. If you do nothing else, other than these 3 steps, you will experience what William Wordsworth called “a happy stillness of mind.” (Page 27, The Silva Method). Think of this as a journey within your mind. Each day you will be getting better and better, mentally stronger, and remember the quote we opened this episode with? “Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, you will soon see.” (Jose Silva) TO REVIEW PART 1 of THE SILVA METHOD: We covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method ✔ What this program has done for others. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose Silva and learned about his passion for helping others to improve their ability to learn. ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition using the countdown Method. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization ✔ It Will Be This Screen That We Will Use to Help Yourself and Others in Future Chapters. #2 The Silva Method-Part 2[ix] TO REVIEW PART 2 OF THE SILVA METHOD: We covered: ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation ✔ The 4 Laws that must be in place BEFORE you visualize something. ✔ We Solved a Problem with 3 STEPS (Problem, Action, Solution) with ideas to use this method for schools, sports or the workplace. ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory ✔ The 3 Finger Technique If you want to review all of these topics, I'll link each of these episodes in the show notes. Chapter 3 on Dynamic Meditation involves “training your mind for organized, dynamic activities” that Jose Silva thinks is what our mind was designed for. He says “once you have reached the meditative level, to simply stay there and wait for something to happen is not enough. It is beautiful and calming and it does contribute to your good health, but these are modest accomplishments compared with what is possible.” This is where The Silva program gets exciting as we step past passive meditation techniques, to use it dynamically to solve problems. Now we'll see why it's so important to perfect what we see on the Screen of our Mind, and why daily practice of these skills is crucial. Let's use our mind for something that's useful for us—something of value. It all begins with our imagination, on this screen of our mind, but Silva says there are 4 important laws we must follow next. The Silva Program says that --Whatever it is that you want, you must: Law 1: You must desire that the event take place. (just like Napoloeon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book. His chapter 2 dove deep into the concept of Desire. Law 2: You must believe the event can take place. We have covered the topic of belief so often on this podcast. When someone has the belief in what they are moving towards, this belief goes deep into their identity, and changes the person so much, that we could look at a photograph of that same person without the belief, and see a completely NEW and changed person, once the belief has been instilled deep within them. Law 3: You must expect the event to take place. Expectation hooks you up to your source, and with action, faith develops as you draw yourself closer to whatever it is you are working on. Law 4: You cannot create a problem. How Do We Use the Silva Method to Solve a Problem We Are Facing? STEP 1: PICK A PROBLEM YOU WANT TO SOLVE Follow the steps that will get you into the Alpha Brain State, (counting backwards from 100-1) and then lift your eyes upwards, and with your mind, create a mental screen where you will re-create the problem you want to solve. Relive the problem by seeing it and feeling it. For Schools: A problem could be a poor grade on a test, resulting in a low overall grade. For Sports: The problem could be a losing streak, or poor performance leading to a loss. For the Workplace: The problem could be a lack of sales in your organization, or poor performance somewhere. Pick the problem you want to solve, and visualize it on the screen of your mind. STEP 2: TAKE SOME SORT OF ACTION IN THE PRESENT MOMENT Next, in you mind, you will gently push the problem scene off to the right which Silva explains in his book will represent the PAST. The past is now over, so push the problem aside. Just like the sand timer example in the hour glass from our episode with Brian Proctor. The past is now gone. We are now focused on the PRESENT moment. To the left of the problem, (that represents the PRESENT MOMENT), create a NEW mental screen with the SOLUTION. Whatever you imagine will require ACTION showing you solving the problem. Most of us don't spend time thinking about the present moment or the future. We can easily get bogged down in what happened in the past. This is what I love about Silva's Method. The past is over, moved off to the side and we now focus ONLY on the present (taking action to solve the problem) and the FUTURE, which will highlight the changed outcome. For Schools: A solution could involve a student studying with more focus. For Sports: A solution could involve practicing a skill that is known for needed improvement. For the Workplace: A solution could involve presenting your product to a group of people who see its value, and decide they will purchase a large order. STEP 3: THE SOLUTION Finally, the action you have taken pays off, and you will envision the solution on the screen of your mind. Everything here is positive, and all of the feelings associated with the problem have been resolved. You celebrate the WIN here in as much detail as you can. What does this win feel like? Who's there watching you? What do you hear? What do you see? Involve all of your senses. For Schools: Picture the student celebrating when they see their efforts were rewarded with an A+ grade. This A+ will lead to many more, eventually allowing the student to receive an honor roll award at the end of the year. For Sports: You'll picture your team celebrating when the practice pays off with a WIN that eventually leads to a trophy or award at the end of the season. For the Workplace: You'll picture your team celebrating when they receive the large order that came from the hard work from the recent presentation. The team celebrates by hosting a lunch where all those involved are recognized for their efforts. It's here that you can look back to the past, like through the rear-view mirror we have in our car, and it should look different to you now that you've created a NEW future. You might still be able to “see” and remember things from those days when you had a problem to solve, but now, looking back, my hopes are that the vision of the future changes whatever it was that you didn't like in the past. The past is over. Now we are living in the present moment, building a new future. These are some examples of using The Silva Method to train our brain towards our desired outcome. Does it always work? No, Silva says, but with time and practice, we'll start to see improvements that we might chalk up to be coincidences. He suggests stopping this practice altogether, and the coincidences will also stop. Start back up again, and they will reappear. You'll see…just practice this, and let me know what YOU see. With practice, the results you will see will be more and more astounding. This entire exercise, with practice, can be done with just 15 minute blocks of time, once you've got the hang of it. #3 The Silva Method- Part 3[x] In Part 3 we covered: ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA, ALPHA, THETA, DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization ✔ How to Help Yourself and Others Using a Mental Screen in Our Mind Before writing this episode, I wondered how exactly could our mind be trained... Was daily meditation not enough? If it was, how do I even know if I'm meditating the right way? What was I missing from my current practice? What can we learn from the years of research behind Jose Silva's popular program that could help all of us to refine our current meditation practice? A year later, Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations helped me to understand why meditation helps to train our mind, especially with the concept that it opens up our chakras, and expands our energy field, allowing us to have more capacity. Our interview #307[xi] Dr. Konstantin Korotkov on “Bridging the Spiritual World with Rigorous Scientific Method” gave us the science behind this practice. The quote I chose for PART 3 makes more sense to me today, with a year of practice behind me. A genius is a man who has discovered how to increase the intensity of thought to a point when he can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of thought.” –Napoleon Hill, author of the Best Selling Classic Book, Think and Grow Rich. This ability is available to all of us. Practice each of these parts of the Silva Method and take your time. In PART 3, we were reminded that Jose Silva took the dream world very seriously, and he was interested in using dreams to solve problems. His programs teach us to first of all remember your dreams and suggests writing them down as soon as we wake up. MAKE SURE YOU ARE SLEEPING LONG ENOUGH TO ACCESS YOUR REM SLEEP: Author Stephanie Gailing reported in her Complete Book of Dreams[xii] that “since dreams that arrive in the early morning are thought to be more vivid and complex” to be sure you are sleeping long enough that you don't miss out on this last REM stage of sleep. How would you know WHEN your REM sleep is? You can use a sleep tracker to measure this. You can see an example below where my sleep was logged with the wearable tracker called Whoop, showing my REM sleep as 53% than my 30-day average. Whoop reminded me that “REM sleep is key to processing new memories, learnings and motor skills.” When I saw this, I immediately wrote down the dream that I had (that I could remember) to see what I could learn from this dream. We've covered dreams on this podcast with EPISODE #224[xiii] with Harvard Neuroscientist Dr. Baland Jalal on “Sleep Paralysis, Lucid Dreaming and Premonitions” or EPISODE #104[xiv] with Antonio Zadra and his book “When Brains Dream” and I even took a stab at explaining “Why Our Dreams Are So Weird, Highly Emotional and Often Forgotten” on EPISODE #226[xv] as I've personally been interested in deciphering the messages that come through in our dream state. To find answers in your dreams, first of all, have the intention that you will remember them. Then pay to attention to: -who was in my dream? -what did they say? -what can I learn from this? Like Jose Silva, I take the dream world seriously and find tremendous value from consolidating new learnings and then being open to discovering valuable insights that could possibly help me, or others close to me. TO PUT PART 3 INTO ACTION: WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS as soon as you wake up TAKE THE DREAM WORLD SERIOUSLY MAKE SURE YOU ARE SLEEPING LONG ENOUGH TO ACCESS ALL OF YOUR REM SLEEP HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER YOUR DREAMS WRITE DOWN ANY INSIGHTS FROM YOUR DREAMS THAT COULD HELP YOU OR OTHERS CLOSE TO YOU. #4 The Silva Method- Part 4[xvi] For PART 4 we covered: ✔ Ch 8-Your Words Have Power ✔ Ch 9-The Power of Imagination ✔ Ch 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health ✔ We will connect the most current neuroscience research to Jose Silva's program, using Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast on "The Science of Creativity" ✔ The 3 Parts to Your Creative Brain (Central Executive Network, Default Mode Network, Salience Network). ✔ 2 Types of Thinking Involved with Creativity (Divergent and Convergent) ✔ Putting Creativity to Practice with an example from our schools, sports and modern workplace environments. with some clear examples and next steps for all of us to APPLY the Silva Method for improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus…right in time for a New Year. This part opened up with the importance of the power of our imagination. This is really what Jose Silva is encouraging us to do with his Method. Open up our creative minds, through the use of our imagination, and CREATE. We talked about it in the beginning of this review, that we ALL have the ability to create something new and that temporary defeat is not the same things as failure. If you are working on something, and it's been a difficult treck from your starting point, to where you'd like to go, take a look back over the past 10 years, from where you are standing now (like you are at the top of a spiral staircase) and see how far you have come. What you do with the Silva Method is up to you. You can practice and refine each part until you're ready for more, and then look up The Silva Ultramind Program. This is when you'll now be taking these concepts and bending your mind in ways I never could have imagined on my own. It's here that I highly suggest looking into Mind Valley[xvii], where Vishen Lakhiani recreated Joe Silva's program with The Silva Ultramind system. NOTE- I'm not affiliated with MindValley in any way. I've just taken this course to keep learning and applying The Silva Method. You can look through the 30-day curriculum and see how this system was designed to help the learner to “develop their mind …” I don't think reviewing this course on this podcast in words could ever do it justice. You've just got to experience it for yourself and notice what you learn from the meditations tied to each of the lessons. If you got to PART 4 of this program, and nothing creative is jumping out at you yet, keep going. This is what I learned from Ultramind Program: Day 1-5 the program helps you to develop and use the mental screen in your mind. I love the activity on Day 5, “projection into your home” because it taught me to become familiar with my own home, a place I see every day, in a whole new way, helping me to open my eyes to the beauty not just in front of me every day, but in the rest of the world. Days 10-15 the program helps us to perfect the “3 scenes technique” and create whatever it is that our heart desires. We learn about psychometry, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience. That's all it I'm going to say about this program other than how it's something that has to be experienced. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude EP 322 and our review of the 4 PARTS of the Silva Method, I've got to say that the goal of this 4 PART review of Jose Silva's Program, was to encourage all of us to see if we could learn something new, to take our results to new heights in 2024. Before I began this review, I had no idea just how deep the book and program would go, or how much our listeners would be drawn to these lessons. If you are one of the 46% of our new listeners who found our podcast from PART 1 of The Silva Method, I want to welcome you, and thank you for tuning in this year. Our past listeners will know that we cover topics to help us to take our results to new heights tying the most current neuroscience research to improve productivity and results in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces, and The Silva Method is about self-mastery, self-awareness and learning to look within for answers. I'd love to know what you have learning from implementing The Silva Method in your life. Send me a message and let me know. THEN PRACTICE: And keep refining each part. PART 1: PRACTICING THE 3 STEPS TO ACCESSING THE ALPHA STATE, USING YOUR MENTAL SCREEN FOR HEIGHTENED VISUALIZATION AND MAKING USE OF WHAT YOU SEE. PART 2: PRACTICE THE 3-SCENES TECHNIQUE WITH A PROBLEM YOU WANT TO SOLVE PART 3: TAKE THE DREAM WORLD SERIOUSLY AND SLEEP LONG ENOUGH TO LEARN FROM YOUR DREAMS. PART 4: USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO TAP INTO YOUR CREATIVE MIND. Remember that if you do nothing else than practice the 3 steps in PART 1, you will be experiencing what William Wordsworth called “a happy stillness of mind.” (Page 27, The Silva Method). If you want to go beyond PART 4, look up MindValley's Ultramind Course. And with that, I'll close out this episode, and encourage all of us to keep learning, growing and practicing what we are learning. Like the quote we used for PART 4 of this review from Dr. Andrew Huberman, “The ability to be creative resides in everybody.” Keep working on looking how you can “reveal something new to the world, something entertaining, thrilling or useful) that changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves.” If you get stuck here, just look around you, at all the creative ideas you can see. If you are still stuck, think about this. The oldest person alive today is 116 year old. Go back 116 years ago, and this is not far off from when The Wright Brothers discovered the ability to fly an airplane. (1903). Think of all the inventions made over the past 100 years, and then imagine someday, that something that YOU create, could possibly be sitting on my desk, used by the world like the fancy water I'm drinking, or the Rodecaster Pro microphone. What will you create with The Silva Method? If you are stuck in temporary defeat, find something that inspires you to get unstuck, and keep moving. I find inspiration and motivation in people who move quickly past difficult times and challenges, as well as in things. Look up some of the oldest Cathedrals in Europe and imagine the creativity behind these buildings. Then keep going. Let me know what you create…and I'll see you next week.

”The Neuroscience Behind the Silva Method: Improving Creativity and Innovation in Our Schools, Sports and Modern Workplaces” BOOK REVIEW PART 4

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 23, 2022 42:03

Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast and PART 4, our FINAL part, of our Review of Jose Silva's Mind Control Program. I'm Andrea Samadi an author and an educator, who like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind ANY high-performance strategy proven to increase our results in our schools, sports, or modern workplaces. If there's something NEW that I come across that can help us in any way, I'll investigate it, connect it with the most current research, and then share what I learn with you here. My goal with this 4 PART review of the popular program from the 1980s and 1990s, The Silva Method[i], is to help all of us to learn something new to refine our current meditation practice whether we are working in our schools to improve learning, in our sports environments for improved results towards a specific goal, or in the corporate workplace to generate new ideas. I wouldn't have picked this book to review if it hadn't made such an impact on the world, like Napoleon Hills' Think and Grow Rich book that currently sits as our most downloaded episode of 2022 after we reviewed it last January to kick off our New Year. Before starting this review, that I hoped would give us a running start to 2023, I had no idea the concepts I would learn each week, would be so powerful, deep, and life-changing requiring more thought than usual while writing each episode. I began this 4 PART book review the end of November, around Thanksgiving in the United States, and shortly after releasing the first episode, I began receiving emails from around the world from people who were interested to learn more about The Silva Method. Some were remembering it from the 80s/90s when Jose Silva ran this program globally, and others were asking me where they could find a live seminar. It was Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram, EPISODE #260[ii] who held up an old copy of The Silva Mind Control Method book, sharing how it had impacted his life, jogging my memory of Jose Silva, who I had heard of years ago, while selling seminars in the motivational speaking industry. Then my good friend Hans Ajay from the UK, urged me to sign up for the full program through MindValley[iii], where the course sits today after Vishen Lakhiani (the founder) revised and improved it in this current version. Hans wrote “It'll be transformative” and little did I know just how transformative it would be. As I'm writing this episode now, and the final part of this review, I'm nearing the end of Vishen Lakhiani's Silva UltraMind Course[iv] through the MindValley website. I can now see that this is a program that you never really complete, like I noticed with Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich[v] book, for Hill intended the book to be read more than one time for the concepts to be mastered in one's lifetime. Jose Silva's book is exactly the same way, and his online UltraMind Course, the experiential side of the program (that consists of the lessons from his book, mixed with meditations) bring the pages of The Silva Method to life in a way I never imagined just by reading the book. I've got to say, this course has really blown my mind, and expanded my thinking in a way I hadn't imagined at the start of this review. REMEMBER: “When a person learns to function mentally at this deeper level, creativity is enhanced. Memory is improved and a person is better able to solve problems.” (Jose Silva). Today I plan finish the review of The Silva Method, and while I won't be going into every chapter, I've picked the ones that I think are relevant to help all of us with “The Basics” of what Jose Silva intended us to learn. Then we will take these basic concepts that Jose Silva found to be transformative, (like my friend Hans Ajay noticed) and APPLY them to our daily life, connecting the science to our creativity and innovation, using Dr. Andrew Huberman's most recent podcast episode on “The Science of Creativity: How to Enhance Creative Innovation.”[vi] Finally, I will provide clear examples of innovation and creativity from three of our past guests; one in each of the sectors we study here, our schools, sports environments and corporate workplaces with the goal to inspire YOU to enhance your own creativity for improved results in 2023, using the Silva Method. I just wish Jose Silva could have seen the mounds of research that prove what he knew to be true with his Meditation Method, and that he wouldn't have to disguise it as “bio-feedback” in the corporate world today. DISCLAIMER: I want to mention that while I'm enjoying the Online UltraMind Course, I am not at all affiliated with Mind Valley, or the CEO Vishen Lakhiani, but I did hear my mentor Bob Proctor talking about his organization over the years, knowing he supported their work, but I had no idea that Jose Silva's program would end up there. While I'm only reviewing the book here, (and not what I'm learning in the online course-I might do this at a later date after implementing the concepts) I do think it's important to include some of the meditations I found online in PART 3 of this review, to show you what they consist of. I've listed them in the resource section below for you to use. I've also put a snapshot of the topics covered over the 28 day online program, and while I'm currently at DAY 21/28, I can say that mastering the ideas in the book are a good place to start if you would like to improve your current meditation practice and then I will show you how this will enhance your creativity and ability for innovation. I think this 4 PART review could be used to jumpstart us all on the right foot for 2023. If you would like to go deeper into The Silva Method, I do suggest taking the online Silva UltraMind System, but caution that to get the most out of the program, that daily practice will be required. This is a course that you would want to carve out some time for. PUTTING THE 4 PARTS of THE SILVA METHOD TOGETHER: TO REVIEW PART 1 of THE SILVA METHOD EPISODE #261: We covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method. If you have begun using your mind to create a mental screen for heightened visualization, you could end this book review here and still be miles ahead in 2023. Central to Jose's Silva Method of Mind Control is with the power of visualization, and he says “right from the beginning, from the very moment you reach your meditative level (what he calls accessing the Alpha State), you must learn to practice visualization. The better you learn to visualize, the more powerful will be your experience with Mind Control.” With time and practice, it will be this screen that you will learn how to help yourself and others. You begin with creating simple things, until you are ready to solve small problems in your daily life, from work, to health, and improve learning/creativity. As you progress through this program, you can learn to use the screen of your mind to for more advanced innovative and creative ideas. There is no limit to what you could create here. ✔ What this program has done for others. The late Dr. Wayne Dyer has said that anything with the name Jose Silva as the author has his vote before I open to page one. He said “Read it with a pen for underlining.” Jose Silva himself noted that: ✔A marketing company used it to create 18 new products. ✔14 Chicago White Socks players used it to boost their scores. ✔ Celebrities have used it and credit Jose Silva for improving their focus and creativity. ✔ Colleges and universities have used it to help students study less, but learn more. And during the Silva UltraMind course, (the online program I joined while doing this book review) I had the chance to participate on a training call one evening with all the new students who had recently come on board with MindValley, (that has over 10 million students worldwide, studying over 200 speakers and authors on the site), and the moderator asked what course people were studying, and people started chiming into the chat from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and remote countries around the world…that they were ALL here to study The Silva Method. I was floored! Mostly because I had thought this training call would have just a handful of people coming on board. I didn't expect so many participants globally, and ALL of them were there to study the same course I was there for. It took mind-boggling to a whole new level when I started to put together that this program was something that people are still very interested in learning about. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose Silva and learned about his passion for helping others to improve their ability to learn. He was a humble man who worked very hard to develop the ideas within his program, and was very careful about how he presented his ideas as visualization was not something that was widely accepted in the corporate world in the 80s and 90s. In his live events, he was smart to introduce his concepts as bio-feedback (that had more credibility at the time) and were more readily accepted, before introducing business executives to more advanced concepts of the mind (like using visualization) on the second day of the training. ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). He learned that we spend most of our waking time at the BETA brain state, where we can feel the stress and anxiousness of daily life, so finding ways to relax (that he calls going to the Alpha State) can be helpful. His online program does cover how to access the Theta level of mind for increased intuition, and offers a strategy for solving problems in your sleep at the Delta level. ✔ We were Introduced to Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization. It Will Be This Screen That We Will Use to Help Yourself and Others in Future Chapters. *** I would say developing the use of this screen is the KEY to the entire program. It's where your goals will begin to form, or where you will work with NEW ideas that come into your mind. I've heard it be called “your workshop” or where you create something new in your mind, and with time and practice, what you put on this screen becomes clearer and clearer. TO REVIEW PART 2 of THE SILVA METHOD EPISODE #262: We covered: ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation (where we actually DO something while meditating, instead of it being a passive practice). We learn how to be more in control of our life using visualization. Dr. Andrew Huberman's research does tie in the importance of using meditation to improve our creativity, and I will expand on this at the end of this episode. ✔ The 4 Laws that must be in place BEFORE we visualize a goal. (We must desire the event to take place that we want, we must believe the event we want will take place, we must EXPECT the event to take place, and we must ONLY be working with something that will benefit ourselves and others. ✔ I noticed How these 4 Laws mirror Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book and wondered if Jose Silva did this intentionally. ✔ 3 STEPS to SOLVE ANY PROBLEM Using the Silva Method on the Screen that We Build in Our Mind. ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory ✔ Where Silva's Memory Hacks have been seen on previous episodes and in the motivational speaking industry. TO REVIEW PART 3 of THE SILVA METHOD EPISODE #263: We covered: ✔ Chapter 6 on Speed Learning: Using the mental screen paired with the 3-finger technique if you want to learn something quickly, using the Alpha Brain State. Silva also covered recording your voice, or creating what I knew of as the “loop tape” of whatever it is that you want to remember. You would record what you want to remember in the BETA State, and then listen to it in the Alpha state (using the 3 finger technique or counting backwards). ✔ Chapter 7 on Creative Dreams where we covered 4 strategies for remembering our dreams, and taking them seriously like Jose Silva himself did. For PART 4 and today's episode, of the SILVA METHOD, Episode #265 we will finish looking at the book, and will cover: ✔ Ch 8-Your Words Have Power ✔ Ch 9-The Power of Imagination ✔ Ch 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health ✔ We will connect the most current neuroscience research to Jose Silva's program, using Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast on "The Science of Creativity" ✔ The 3 Parts to Your Creative Brain (Central Executive Network, Default Mode Network, Salience Network). ✔ 2 Types of Thinking Involved with Creativity (Divergent and Convergent) ✔ Putting Creativity to Practice with an example from our schools, sports and modern workplace environments. with some clear examples and next steps for all of us to APPLY the Silva Method for improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus…right in time for a New Year. Chapter 8: Your Words Have Power I'm sure we've all heard of the importance of thinking and speaking positive words over negative ones, and Jose Silva would agree with this. In this chapter, he talks about a nurse-anesthetist (and one of his eventual lecturers) from Oklahoma, Mrs. Jean Mabrey, who puts this knowledge of the mind to use to help her patients. As soon as they are “under”—in deep anesthesia—she would whisper in their ears instructions that would speed their recovery, and in some cases save their lives. Jose Silva would say “First, words have special power at deep levels of mind; second, the mind has much firmer command over the body than it is given credit for; and third, as I noted in Chapter 5, we are always conscious.” Here's another one if Silva's principles that I learned from the speaking industry. Bob Proctor used to tell a story on stage, of how he would whisper success secrets into the ears of his children when they were little. While they are grown now, this story stuck with me, as we want the best for our own kids. So when I had children, this is the first thing I did. I would drop into my child's room just before they were about to drift off to sleep and tell them something that would go deep into their subconscious mind. I'd say something like “you'll do whatever it is you want. Whatever you can dream you'll do it!” I did this almost every night with my first…and with my second, not as often. She needed it more…. Now to think about it, I even spoke to my girls before they were born, letting them know how excited we were to meet them and how much fun we would have when they arrived. Be very careful about the words we use and how they trigger our brains. We are always conscious. Since this concept was drilled into my head early on in the speaking industry, I learned early on to be careful of everything I say, and everything I think. If someone says “How are you?” and I'm not feeling 100%, the best way to answer this question is with a positive angle like “Getting better and better every day” to move myself in that direction. An answer like “not bad” would according to Silva, hit the brain in a negative way, as it would only hear “bad” instead of “good.” I can tie the research to this as well, with my mentor Mark Robert Waldman who wrote Words Can Change Your Brain with Andrew Newberg, MD[vii]. In this book, they explain that “the more you stay focused on negative words and thoughts, the more you can actually damage key structures that regulate your memory, feelings, and emotions.You may disrupt your sleep, your appetite, and the way your brain regulates happiness, longevity, and health. That's how powerful a single negative word or phrase can be. And if you vocalize your negativity, even more stress chemicals will be released, not only in your brain, but in the listener's brain as well. You'll both experience increased anxiety and irritability, and it will generate mutual distrust, thereby undermining the ability to build empathy and cooperation. The same thing happens in your brain when you listen to arguments on the radio or see a violent scene in a movie. The brain, it turns out, doesn't distinguish between fantasies and facts when it perceives a negative event. Instead it assumes that a real danger exists in the world.” Words Can Change Your Brain Jose Silva had it right when he said “Words have special power at deep levels of mind, the mind has a firmer command over the body than it's given credit for, and third, we are always conscious.” Jose Silva Be careful with every word that you think, and speak. Words do have power. Chapter 9: The Power of Your Imagination We dove deep into this concept in part 3 of our review of Think and Grow Rich[viii] earlier this year that I can now see was of high interest to listeners as it had over 1400 downloads. On this episode, we looked at the fact that our lives reflect how well we use our imagination, because when we hit one plateau of success, it will be our imagination that will take us to what's next. Author Earl Nightingale said that “imagination is everything” and as we will see with the Silva Method, all great inventions are created in two separate places: the mind of the inventor, and the physical world when the inventor creates it. There is no doubt in my mind that Silva was influenced by Hill's Think and Grow Rich book. He says it himself in this chapter that “imagination seizes directly on the goal; it gets what it wants” and elaborates by saying this is why he “placed so much emphasis on your learning true-to-life visualization at the deep levels of mind. If you spur your imagination with belief, desire and expectancy, and train to visualize your goals so that you see, feel, hear, taste and touch them, you will get what you want.” (Ch9, The Silva Method). This is why mastering your mental screen for visualization is so important. If there is ONE part of the Silva Method that I think we could all benefit from, it's this one. Learning to use the mental screen on our mind. It's this mental screen where you will solve small and larger problems, and learn to help yourself and others in many different ways. It's the starting block that must be mastered over time, and not rushed. Chapter 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health We've covered this topic in a few places on this podcast, on EPISODE #234[ix] with Ashok Gupta on “Health and Happiness: Getting to the Root of Chronic Pain and Illness” where Ashok Gupta showed us how chronic pain or illness occurs in the brain with a vicious loop of inflammation/irritation that he has successfully been treating with patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Long-Haul Covid, Fibromyalgia, Chemical or Mold Sensitivities, Gut Issues, Anxiety, Lyme Disease and many more, with a meditation program he designed called The Gupta Program that combines brain-training in conjunction with working with a medical doctor for healing. Then physician and neurologist Dr. Phillippe Douyon shared his story of overcoming illness on EPISODE #241[x] with positive thinking at the root of his recovery. Jose Silva was far ahead of his time with his understanding of using mind control for self-healing. This chapter is near the end of the book, and is mastered by students with time and practice, and I have to say that I had heard of using the mind for healing when my Mom was undergoing treatment for Cancer in the late 1990s. I told Dr. Douyon about her strategy for healing, and he said he had heard of many patients of his, successfully overcoming serious health challenges, and that positive thinking and visualizing health were at the very root of their healing, like Silva believed. In this chapter, Silva talks about cancer specialist, O. Carl Simonton, who Simonton who was trained by Silva and his Mind Control techniques was featured in Prevention Magazine in an article called “Mind Over Cancer” where he shared that the patients who recovered all had something in common. He said they were “often positive, optimistic, determined people.” (Ch 10, The Silva Method). In this chapter Silva talks about the idea of self-healing using your mental screen, but he also touches on something that goes a bit beyond our usual level of thinking, in Chapter 12 that Silva called “ESP” or Extra Sensory Perception that he believed we all had. He worked closely with J.B Rhine at Duke University to understand this subject, and bring his experiments into his understanding, but it's important to note that Silva believed this concept could be developed and strengthened over time to help his students improve self-healing, healing of others, improve their intuition, and strengthen their mental screen practice. He touches on this in the book, and his online program goes into great detail of how exactly this is done with activities using the screen of our mind, to psychometry, and is something I've been fascinated with since I first heard about this over 20 years ago. I'll be sure to cover this topic again in the future, as it one I'm still learning and exploring. I'm sure you can see now what Silva meant when he said “Once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” This brings me to the end of PART 4 and our REVIEW of The Silva Method: To conclude this 4 PART REVIEW of The Silva Method, I want to look at how we can use what we've learned throughout this review of the Silva Method, to improve our Creativity in 2023 for Innovation in your specific line of work. This is where I'll take the research, and tie it to The Silva Method, showing us that we all have the ability to be creative, and how to improve this area of our life in the New Year. This is a deep topic, requiring some thought, that goes along with just how comprehensive Silva's Method is. To make this applicable for all of us, I'll be using concepts from Dr. Andrew Huberman's most recent podcast on “The Science of Creativity and How to Enhance Creative Innovation” tying in Jose Silva's Method to bring these 4 PARTS of our book review applicable to all of us, whether we are educators working in our classrooms, working in the sports industry, or in our modern workplaces. WE CONNECT DR. HUBERMAN'S RESEARCH TO THIS EPISODE FROM HIS EPISODE ON ENHANCING YOUR CREATIVITY. HOW CAN WE USE THE SILVA METHOD TO ENHANCE CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN 2023? To close out this episode, let go straight to the research. Did you know that according to American neuroscientist and associate professor at Stanford School of Medicine, Dr. Andrew Huberman “the ability to be creative resides in everybody? We know that because the neural circuits that underlie creativity have been somewhat defined and the steps and processes in the brain that lead to creativity are well known.” What Makes Something Creative? Jose Silva would have loved this research, especially when Dr. Huberman ties many studies to meditation and the brain/creativity, but let's begin with the idea of defining creativity. What makes something creative? Dr. Huberman spent over 2 hours on his podcast diving thoroughly and deeply into this topic, that I will narrow down for this episode. He explains that “most people don't know how to access creativity” or “they do it in a limited manner” and I'll agree with him here. As you will see, coming up with an idea that's creative, and innovative takes time, effort and years of work, making connections, using your executive functions in your brain to cross off what's not relevant and then testing these connections, to see what's left over that you will keep, hoping they are creative and relevant to others. Dr. Huberman explains that “when we see something that's truly creative, it reveals something to us about the natural world and about how our brains work….It must reveal something that surprises us” for it to be truly creative. Then, “something pops out at us” he says, “we hear something in the words with music, or if we see something, feel, or experience something” “and something pops out to us as exciting….this reveals something about our brain/our auditory system, creating NEW meaning for us.” AND “when we see, hear, feel or experience something that's truly creative, the way our neural circuits function is changed. When our neural circuits are changed simply by what comes into our eyes, ears of the way we experience our feelings, there's a release of chemicals like dopamine that make us feel surprised, delighted or excited in anticipation that we will see it again.” (Dr. Huberman) So when I say that “the ability to be creative resides in everyone” it does, since we ALL have the same structures in our brain, but some people have learned to use certain parts of their brain to foster creativity in ways that others have not. This is where practicing the Silva Method comes in. THE 3 NETWORKS TO YOUR CREATIVE BRAIN: Dr. Huberman went on to explain that there are 3 networks in the brain that are involved in coming up with a CREATIVE idea, and we've covered these 3 parts of the brain extensively on EPISODE #48[xi] on “Brain Network Theory.” It was here where we covered The Default Mode Network, The Central Executive Network, and the Salience Network that are all involved with coming up a truly creative idea. While I'm not going to dive into each part of the brain and what it's doing (you can review episode 48 where we show how these 3 parts of the brain must work together to improve our imagination and creativity), I just want to point out that coming up with a creative idea takes some brain power. When you are working with the screen of your mind in the Silva Method, you will be using all three of these parts of your brain to come up with new ideas. Your CEN (Central Executive Network) will help you to suppress ideas, actions or choices, your DMN (Default Mode Network) will help you to access your library of previous memories that you will be using to create your NOVEL idea, and your SN (Salience Network) will help you to make choices of what's most relevant to you. You will use your brain to create something NEW and USEFUL by rearranging existing elements (from your memory bank) into new combinations that reveals something fundamental about how we and the world works. 2 TYPES OF THINKING ARE INVOLVED: The final part of creating something CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE is that it's done by going back and forth between two types of thinking: Divergent Thinking: Where we take a known object in the world, and expand upon this idea, the more ideas the better, wandering through your ideas that you already know (from your memory bank) with the hopes that the connections you make reveals something new to others. Convergent Thinking: That's the opposite of divergent thinking, but it's where we use focus and persistence to narrow in on an idea that makes sense in the real world. If you want to dive deeper into Dr. Andrew Huberman's thorough explanation of Creativity and the Brain[xii], he takes things much deeper than I will here, in his recent episode that goes well over 2 hours. He doesn't miss anything and even goes on to show us the parts of the brain that light up when we are involved in divergent vs convergent thinking, and the 2 types of meditation that are proven to improve each of these ways of thinking. He says that “open monitored meditation” (like just closing your eyes and paying attention to your thoughts without judgement) is well documented to improve our divergent thinking capability, and focused attention meditation (like staring at a flame of light) is a way to improve our convergent thinking capabilities. PUTTING CREATIVITY INTO PRACTICE: When thinking about how to close out this 4 PART review, and make it applicable to all of us, I had to spend some time thinking hard about this one. I didn't want to just end this review without some solid research backing up the validity of The Silva Method, with some clear examples of those who have shown innovation and creativity who we've come across on this podcast. It wasn't difficult to find someone in each of the three sectors we cover, and now that I've tied the research to creative thinking, I'm sure you will agree with me that the examples I will share here all show true innovation and creativity, and that coming up with a creative idea like each of these, took years of experience, work and thought. It wasn't like I remember the commercial for the guy who invented peanut butter cups who just tripped and his chocolate bar fell into the jar of peanut butter and bam, he had a new invention. These are 3 examples that I hope will inspire you to put some of your own thought into how you can use the Silva Method, and come up creative and innovative ideas of your own. For Schools: I chose our guests from episode #215[xiii] who have shown innovation in the field of education by launching a podcast to elevate student and teacher voice. Remember, To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves. I couldn't have found a clearer example that these two Canadian podcasters who published a book called The Magnificent Microphone[xiv] that when a student connected to it, it opened up a whole new world of confidence, creativity and success. These two leaders in education have discovered true creativity and innovation in the podcasting space, bringing student-led podcasts to the field of education. For Sports: I chose a forward-thinking coach from an early EPISODE #38[xv] who has shown innovation with his sports team when he redesigned their locker room and uniforms with a vision beyond what has typically been done before. Remember, To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves. This one you'll see more if you watch the 30 second snapshot of their locker reveal[xvi] that takes the team on a journey from the minute they walk into the new room, where the players are taking in the many visual cues they see, making connections to past players, where they are today, and their future. For the Workplace: I chose our recent EPISODE #264[xvii] where our guest was able to look at ways to create breakthroughs in the workplace, bringing to light something that was left off the table in the past. He looked at EQ and IQ and found that experience was left off, and coined the term “XQ” for Experiential Intelligence. This guest also mentioned his love of “making connections” which is something he noticed I do intentionally on this podcast, and now after hearing Dr. Huberman's explanation, he talks about the fact that true creativity or innovation could not occur without let's say an architect coming up with incredible plans for buildings without a thorough understanding of how buildings are put together in the first place. Remember, To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves. Once we know what novelty/creativity and innovation looks in the brain, you can only imagine what's happening at the brain level with each of these examples. Just like the complexity of the reading brain, with 4 parts of the brain working together as a student learns how to read, someone coming up with a creative, innovative idea, has specific (Dr. Huberman lists 3 networks in the brain) working together to create what the rest of the world will come to see as novel, or innovative. This is what makes some things go “viral” online. The NEW experience actually changes the circuits in the brain with whatever it is a person sees, feels, hears or experiences. Dopamine is released (with the surprise and delight) with whatever it is they make connections to, and there's the hope or anticipation that they will experience it again. I hope all 3 of these examples have given you a glance into the world of innovation that's possible for you, as a product of going through the simple steps in the Silva Method. To conclude this episode, and PART 4 of our Review of the Silva Method, we looked at ✔ A Review of all 3 PARTS of The Silva Method Review. ✔ Today, in PART 4, we looked at Ch 8-Your Words Have Power Ch 9-The Power of Imagination Ch 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health ✔ We connected The Silva Method to the Dr. Andrew Huberman's Neuroscience Research on Creativity and Innovation. ✔ We gave an example of innovation from our past guests in the fields of education, sports and the modern workplace. The goal of this 4 PART review of Jose Silva's Program, was to encourage all of us to see if we could learn something new, to take our results to new heights in 2023. I had no idea just how deep the book and program would go, and I know I'll review the online course at a later time, but for now, this review has given me some new ideas for how to improve my visualization/mental screen method to help me with my short term and long term goals. I'd love to hear from you what you have thought of this episode, where we tied in the most current research to Jose Silva's work, reminding me that “once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” I do want to add something before we close about the importance of honoring other people's creative and innovative ideas. Now that we've seen what's involved at the brain level with coming up with an idea that's truly novel, I'm sure you'll agree with me that while we all have this ability to create something new, that this comes naturally to some, and is more difficult for others. If you see someone else's creative or innovative idea, please never approach it as your own. PLAGIARISM CAUTION[xviii]: CAN WORDS OR IDEAS REALLY BE STOLEN? When you are the creator of an idea, I can tell you first hand, as someone who worked very hard on something, and then saw it pasted on a reputable company's website the day after I shared my “new ideas” with them. I was very disappointed, mostly as they had taken something I had permission to use from someone else who wasn't referenced, because they stole the quote from me! If you see something from someone else that you like, and want to use it somewhere, always credit the source where it originated from using the proper format with quotation marks. If it's something that's more than a quote, or it's an idea, I would contact the creator first hand, and see what they think about what you would like to do. I wanted to use an assessment based on American Psychologist Howard Gardener's Theory of Multiple Intelligences in my first book, The Secret for Teens Revealed[xix], and emailed him directly at Harvard to ask him. He was shocked I even asked, and said that most people don't. He told me he didn't mind if I used it, but wanted me to be sure I portrayed the Intelligences in a way that showed that we can develop them all with effort, not that we are inclined for some and not others. I never forgot this. If you ask the creator directly, you can find out what they would prefer to keep original, and what they don't mind sharing, with their name attached to it as the originator. With this in mind now, I'd love to hear what you CREATE this year. I've put the meditations that I found online, that are a good place for all of us to begin this process, in the show notes below, and I'll see you next week with our REVIEW of the TOP 10 EPISODES from 2022, and some surprise interviews that I had to squeeze in before the end of the year.

A Deep Dive into ”Applying the Silva Method: Speed Learning and Creative Sleep” BOOK REVIEW PART 3

“A genius is a man who has discovered how to increase the intensity of thought to a point when he can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of thought.” –Napoleon Hill, author of the Best Selling Classic Book, Think and Grow Rich. In PART 3 we cover: ✔ A look at Speed Learning with 2 strategies we can all use right away to learn faster, and remember what we have learned longer. ✔ Creative Sleep, and how to use our sleep to solve problems, improve creativity and intuition in our waking hours, with 4 steps to improving your ability to use and remember your dreams. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast and PART 3 of our Review of Jose Silva's Mind Control Program. I'm Andrea Samadi an author and an educator, who like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind ANY high-performance strategy proven to increase our results in our schools, sports, or modern workplaces. If there's something NEW that I come across that can help us in any way, I'll investigate it, connect it with the most current research, and then share what I learn with you here. If you've been following the past few episodes, you'll know that I came across Jose Silva's work with Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram, from EPISODE #260[i], who has launched 7 successful companies, and mentioned that this book completely changed his world. I had heard of this book and Silva's Program over the years, and many of the concepts that Jose Silva mentions in his book, but had not read it cover to cover, or practiced the audio training that goes along with the book, so I decided to do a complete review of the program, like we did with Napoleon Hill's book at the start of this year, and see how this book, that was popular in the 80s and 90s could connect to the interviews we've done previously on this podcast. Especially when Friederike Fabritius mentioned on EPISODE #258[ii] that our mind can be trained to produce flashes of insight, that can help us in business and our personal lives and what Jose Silva would say could reveal “some astounding things” with a trained mind. I wondered how exactly could our mind be trained... Was daily meditation not enough? If it was, how do I even know if I'm meditating the right way? What was I missing from my current practice? What can we learn from the years of research behind Jose Silva's popular program that could help all of us to refine our current meditation practice? Then I thought back to a class I took with Jon Kabat-Zinn, the father of mindfulness, who reminded us in this class that we are already perfect, (as we are) and that mindfulness is not about “attaining a certain state, (that brings us to this new level of perfection) but that we are already whole and perfect.” Whatever program we are doing now, the idea of this book review is not to say that Jose Silva's method is better, or that we might be missing something from what we are already doing, but to see if there's anything NEW that we cover here, that interests us to dive deeper into, to further enhance our current practice. Jim Kwik, the founder of Kwik Learning[iii], has said that “we've discovered more in the past 20 years about our brain than we've known in the previous 2,000 years combined” and I think it's so exciting to share new strategies to help us all, which is the purpose of this podcast. When I learn something new, something that can help me to improve in any way, this energizes me, this gets me all jazzed up, and I know I can't be the only one like this. I'm sure for those of you who tune into this podcast, can relate to what I'm saying and I'm honored that you've chosen me to study with, wherever you might be tuning into this podcast around the world. I love looking at the statistics to see where listeners are tuning in from in over 168 countries, which is a Geography lesson for me when I look at the map of the world. For this book review, little263-INTRO did I know just how powerful Silva's program would be, when I recorded PART 1 of this series. As I began reading each chapter that Jose Silva wrote many years ago when he was on a quest to increase learning for his own children, I began piecing together many of the strategies that we've covered on this podcast for improving learning, focus, creativity, imagination and productivity, all backed by science, right within the pages of The Silva Method. I made many connections to past episodes and research, including Dr. John Dunlosky from EPISODE #37[iv] where he spoke about using “spaced repetition” as an evidence-based method for improving recall for students, that we will cover today. This research also appears in John Almarode, Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher's recent book, How Learning Works: Translating the Science of Learning into Strategies in Your Classroom that we covered on EPISODE #161[v]. Or even the importance of mindfulness and meditation in the classroom, for athletes or in the workplace. The connection to current research was enough for me to see that Jose Silva was on to something with the methods he wrote about, years before the research would take off exponentially in this area. Daniel Goleman wrote about this in his book Altered Traits[vi] where he showed a visual with the research on Mindfulness and Meditation going up exponentially from the year 2000, to 2020. My goal with this review of The Silva Method[vii], is to help all of us to learn something new to refine our current meditation practice whether we are working in our schools to improve learning, in our sports environments for improved results towards a specific goal, or in the corporate workplace to generate new ideas. I wouldn't have picked this book to review if it hadn't made such an impact on the world, like Napoleon Hills' book, but I had no idea the concepts I would learn each week, would be so powerful, and life-changing. After releasing the first 2 PARTS of this program, I began to receive messages from our listeners around the world who have used Silva's Program, even from those who used it years ago. Then my good friend Hans Ajay from the UK, urged me to sign up for the full program through MindValley[viii], (where the course sits today after Vishen Lakhiani (the founder) revised and improved it in this current version. Hans wrote “It'll be transformative.” I don't need anyone to twist my arm if there's going to be transformation and learning occurring, so I signed up immediately taking what I'm learning in the pages of Silva's book to a whole new level. I'll stick to covering each chapter, but have to say that the experiential exercises have brought each chapter to life in a way that I don't think it's possible for me to show with my writing. I'll connect as many exercises as I can find online with each chapter review, and encourage those of you who want to learn more to explore the entire program further through MindValley. This course is unlike anything I've ever experienced in all my years of studying and learning. To REVIEW, In PART 1[ix] we covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method ✔ What this program has done for others. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose Silva ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA, ALPHA, THETA, DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization ✔ How to Help Yourself and Others Using a Mental Screen in Our Mind UNDERSTANDING HOW TO ACCESS THE ALPHA BRAIN STATE: Once we understand the different brain states, and how to access them, it makes more sense as we dive into the Alpha State, and practice visualizing on the screen of our mind in this state with the meditation exercises. Understanding the Alpha Level of Mind is the first step in Silva's Mind Control Program, and used by itself, had tremendous health capabilities. When you are daydreaming, or just going to sleep but not quite there yet, or just awakening but not yet awake, you are in Alpha Brain State that Silva calls the "inner consciousness” where he says is our mental world exists, with no time or space. With Silva's Mind Control training you can enter the Alpha level at will and still remain fully alert, which is where the exciting part of his program begins. I found 2 meditations on YouTube that I've listed below to help us to gain access to the experiential activities and take the first steps to applying Jose Silva's program into our daily life. ALPHA MEDITATION 1 How to Enter the Alpha Level of Mind, This first video is an introduction, helping us to understand how to enter the Alpha state of mind easily. Jose Silva explains what one needs to do to reach the Alpha, or meditative, level of mind, and this video illustrates his words beautifully. ALPHA MEDITATION EXAMPLE 2: Here's a second example I found on YouTube of entering the Alpha State and practicing our Mental Screen, with the 3, 2, 1, countdown method in a (25 minutes meditation) with Sommer Leigh, who reads Silva's Alpha Meditation exactly as he would, but obviously this time, it's with a female voice and peaceful music. Sommer does address the fact that someone new to meditating should begin with counting down from 100 to 1 to reach the Alpha level, using the countdown method that Silva suggests. If you prefer a male voice for this activity, you can sign up for MindValley.com where Vishen Lakhiani goes through this same exercise, that he calls “Tapping into Alpha with a Centering Exercise” or you can hear Vishen's YouTube version of The 20 Minute Silva Centering Exercise here from MindValley's Channel. Once you reach the Alpha level, (either in the morning, or a night or any time of day that you have to spend 15 minutes) Silva explains this is where we envision a peaceful place to help us to relax our mind, and body for improved health. This is also the place where we can practice solving a problem that we will go deeper into in PART 2. This meditation ends with the 1-5 countdown method to exit the meditation, where we feel better than we did before. Jose Silva reminds us that if we did nothing other than practice going to this peaceful state of mind, it would have tremendous health and wellness benefits that research now proves to be true. In PART 2[x] of our review, on our last episode, we covered: ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation (where we actually DO something while meditating, instead of it being a passive practice). ✔ The 4 Laws that must be in place BEFORE we visualize a goal. ✔ How these 4 Laws mirror Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book. ✔ 3 STEPS to SOLVE ANY PROBLEM Using the Silva Method on the Screen that We Build in Our Mind. ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory ✔ Where Silva's Memory Hacks have been seen on previous episodes and in the motivational speaking industry. In PART 3 of our review, today's EPISODE #263, we will cover: ✔ Ch 6-Speed Learning ✔ Ch 7-Creative Sleep For Chapter 6: Speed Learning I couldn't begin writing about Silva's strategies, without referring to Jim Kwik[xi] first, the founder of Kwik Learning, who created his entire business around how to reader faster, work smarter and think better by accelerating your learning and your life by unlocking what he calls our “superbrain.” Jim Kwik reminds us something I'm sure we've all heard of a million times, that school teaches us WHAT to learn (History, Math, Science, Languages) but “there are ZERO classes on how to learn, listen, focus, concentrate, solve problems, read faster or remember things.” We mentioned Howard Berg, The World's Fastest Speed Reader on our last episode, who taught us on EPISODE #189[xii] many skills that school never taught us, like speed reading or memory tricks. Jose Silva was ahead of his game when he began looking for ways to teach his children, and eventually thousands of others who studied his methods, to learn faster, and be able to remember what they learned for longer periods of time. He offers two strategies in his book: STRATEGY 1: THE MENTAL SCREEN FOR LEARNING PAIRED WITH THE 3 FINGER TECHNIQUE Silva suggests using our Mental Screen for learning, to speed up and deepen what we learn. He also uses the 3 Finger Technique to help us to reach the Alpha State quicker, which can be done while reading to help with focus, concentration and retention, and he outlines a teacher from Denver who used this Three Finger Technique to teach her students spelling with a list of 20 words. To test them, she would ask them to write down the words they studied that week, recall the words using the Three Finger Technique, and see the words on the screen of their minds. She was able to teach all of her students to remember their spelling list with this method. STRATEGY 2: RECORD YOUR VOICE The second method for Speed Learning, I'm most interest in, as I had heard about this strategy in the past. Silva suggests recording your voice when you need to learn something new. When I worked in the seminar industry, we called this a “loop tape” and this strategy was for anyone who wanted to take their results to new heights. Whether they were studying for a test, and needed to learn something new, or an actor who needed to memorize their lines quickly, a loop tape was recommended. I even remember it was suggested to me when I first moved to the US, and found life in this new country to be challenging. The first thing our offices said was “has Andrea created a loop tape of what she wants her life to look like?” Sounds a bit off the wall, but if you don't think something first, on the screen of your mind, you'll be less likely to know what you are looking for when you see it. It's crazy to look back now, because my current life looks pretty much the way I imagined it to look 20+ years ago, when I created my first loop tape, and even drew a sketch of what I envisioned the house I would live in, would look like. PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE: For someone who want to apply this strategy to learning something new, Silva suggests to read the chapter that you are studying out loud (or whatever it is that you want to remember) and record it while you're in the beta brain state, or wide awake and focused. Next, he says, go to the alpha brain state (by counting backwards using the 3, 2, 1 method, or with the 3 Finger Technique and listen to what you recorded while in this state, concentrating on your voice. For added reinforcement, he suggests to let a few days pass and then do it again. Read the material in your beta state and play it back in alpha. This is also in line with Dr. John Dunlosky's research, using spaced repetition. Chapter 7 of The Silva Method on Creative Sleep. Silva took the dream world very seriously, and he was interested in using dreams to solve problems. His programs teach us to first of all remember your dreams and suggests writing them down as soon as you wake up. We've covered dreams on this podcast with EPISODE #224[xiii] with Harvard Neuroscientist Dr. Baland Jalal on “Sleep Paralysis, Lucid Dreaming and Premonitions” or EPISODE #104[xiv] with Antonio Zadra and his book “When Brains Dream” and I even took a stab at explaining “Why Our Dreams Are So Weird, Highly Emotional and Often Forgotten” on EPISODE #226[xv] as I'm personally been interested in deciphering the messages that come through in our dream state. I mentioned on our recent episode with Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram about how motivational speaker Bob Proctor would encourage all of us to write down our dreams to see what we could learn from them. I've got quite the dream log that goes back to the late 90s, and while no one other than myself would understand the significance within my scribbles, they are very clear to me. Here's an example: I was planning to move from Toronto, Canada, to Arizona, USA in January 2000. I had applied to come to the USA on the H1BI VISA for the work I was doing with teenagers, and I didn't get the paperwork I needed until April 2001. You can see a dream I recorded Dec 14th, 2000 where I wrote “Bob at office putting in new computer telling me how I should set up my Phoenix office” that to someone else might be just a bunch of jumbled words, but to me, that was a clear sign that I was going to eventually finally make it to Arizona, with some suggestions on how to set up my office when I got there. I remember this dream clearly, with Bob actually hiding the wires behind my computer under my desk. With each log I've written, I can now go back over the dream in my head whenever I want, and the messages within each dream are obvious…at least to me. HOW TO USE YOUR DREAMS AS GUIDANCE: I've used this dream log to guide me in my personal and professional life and highly encourage anyone who wants to gain more self-awareness to try this activity. Silva began using dreams to solve his problems back in 1949 and said the more he studied, the more humbling it became as he realized he knew less and less as time moved forward. He was always looking to learn more to help others with his research. He writes an incredible story about how he dreamed of 3 numbers, and couldn't figure out what they were, until a string of events led him to a gas station, where someone he was with saw the numbers on a lottery ticket. He bought the ticket, and went on to win $10,000 that he used to fund his research over the years. This isn't the only story where dreams have had a significant importance. Richard Bach, the author of the book “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” an important book in the field of personal development, was almost never was written. Richard Bach explains that he couldn't figure out the ending to this story, until he saw the ending in a dream he had, helping him to finish the book. This book made the cover of Time Magazine, and Bach credits The Silva Method for the mental discipline and visualization he needed to complete this book. PUT THIS STRATEGY INTO PRACTICE: BEGIN BY WRITING DOWN YOUR DREAMS as soon as you wake up. I used to keep a notebook next to my bed, to do this, but now, with a phone nearby, I wake up and use the notepad on my phone. But what if you don't recall your dreams? Dreams are hard to remember, and Stephanie Gailing, the author of The Complete Book of Dreams says that “on average, within 5 minutes we forget 50% of what we dream and within 10 minutes, only 10% may remain”[xvi] and “there are certain neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) necessary to transform short-term memories into long-term ones; some of these including norepinephrine are at a very low level while dreaming, therefore create an innate blockade to having our nighttime visions etched in our mind.” TAKE THE DREAM WORLD SERIOUSLY: If you can be like Silva, and put value on your dreams, Gailing says “those who revere their dreams and accept them as an integral part of their life remember them more often.” I learned from Vishen Lakhiani, in the Silva Ultramind Online course that some indigenous cultures that he's come across in his studies, wake up and begin their day by discussing their dreams and what messages they can see from their dream state. I know we are far off from starting our corporate meetings this way, but if you can do this on your own, I do promise you will see things that will help you in your everyday life. MAKE SURE YOU ARE SLEEPING LONG ENOUGH: Gailing reported in her Complete Book of Dreams that “since dreams that arrive in the early morning are thought to be more vivid and complex” be sure you are sleeping long enough that you don't miss out on this last REM stage of sleep. How would you know WHEN your REM sleep is? You can use a sleep tracker to see. I put a screen shot of my REM SLEEP from last night that shows at what points in the night I was in REM. My report showed last night's REM sleep to be 21% higher than my 30 day average, but I unfortunately did not remember my dreams from last night. HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER YOUR DREAMS: The strategy of having the intention of remembering your dream works well, and also not worrying if you don't remember them every night. My dream log has weeks of gaps where I didn't remember anything at all, or it just wasn't something I thought was important to remember at the time. To bring this episode to a close, and REVIEW Chapter 6 on Speed Learning and Chapter 7 on Creative Dreams, In Chapter 6 on Speed Learning we looked at 2 Strategies that included Using the mental screen paired with the 3-finger technique if you want to learn something quickly, using the Alpha Brain State. Silva also covered recording your voice, or creating what I knew of as the “loop tape” of whatever it is that you want to remember. You would record what you want to remember in the BETA State, and then listen to it in the Alpha state (using the 3 finger technique or counting backwards). In Chapter 7 on Creative Dreams we covered 4 strategies for remembering our dreams, and taking them seriously like Jose Silva himself did. In the resource section, I've put the links to the three meditations I found online that can help you to take Silva's ideas to new heights in your own life. I hope that you take the time to go through the meditations where you will see what Hans Ajay told me. They are transformational. I wanted to learn something new with my current meditation practice, and had no idea just how deep Jose Silva's Program would take me.

“Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva (August 11, 1914-February 7, 1999) author of The Silva Mind Control Method. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast and PART 2 of our Review of Jose Silva's Mind Control Program. I'm Andrea Samadi an author and an educator, who like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind ANY high performance strategy proven to increase our results in our schools, sports, and modern workplaces. If there's something NEW that I come across that can help us in any way, I'll investigate it, connect it with the most current research, and then share what I learn with you here. At the start of this year, I reviewed Napoleon Hill's Best-Selling Think and Grow Rich[i] book, with a deep dive into many of the concepts that have been put to a practical test by millions of people around the world over the years. This is THE book that my mentor Bob Proctor spent his lifetime studying, and it remains on my desk as a resource to visit when I need some inspiration, or some wise words of wisdom to push me forward. Then I came across Jose Silva's work on our resent EPISODE #260, a fascinating program that I had heard about when I worked in the seminar industry, and I knew it was time to slow down the podcast, and see what Jose Silva's program covered, and if his work could help us all with whatever it is that we are working on. My goal with this review of The Silva Method[ii], is to help all of us to learn something new to refine our current meditation practice whether we are working in our schools to improve learning, in our sports environments for improved results towards a specific goal, or in the corporate workplace to generate new ideas. I wouldn't have picked this book to review if it hadn't made such an impact on the world, like Napoleon Hills' book. In PART 1[iii] of our review, on our last episode, we covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method ✔ What this program has done for others. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA, ALPHA, THETA, DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization ✔ How to Help Yourself and Others Using a Mental Screen in Our Mind After recording this episode, there were some important parts that I forgot to add in, but since each of these episodes is cumulative, building off the last episode, I'll be sure to add in anything important along the way. As I'm writing these episodes, as I'm also learning along with you. ***If you are listening to this episode, and have not yet listened to PART 1, please do begin with PART 1 of this series, to maximize each concept we will be learning, and practicing. Each lesson builds off the next, in The Silva Method, which to me could be described as a combination between meditation, and self-hypnosis all in one. I'll be sharing Silva's Method, chapter by chapter, with clear examples of how to put it into practice, and how his method can help all of us to train our brain to do some astounding things. I wanted to cover The Silva Method on this podcast, as years ago, no one spoke about the power of hypnosis, or meditation, in our corporate workplaces, or in our schools. It's taken some time, but now these concepts are no longer weird, they are mainstream, embraced worldwide, and have helped millions of people from celebrities, and high level CEOS, to regular people in search of their own personal breakthroughs. I hope this episode series will help all of us to sharpen our saw with our own meditation practice, and help us to reach new heights in our personal and professional lives. On our last episode #261, we practiced accessing the Alpha Brain State using the countdown method, were introduced to the use of the Mental Screen for Heightened Visualization, and learned that it would be this mental screen where we would utilize the power of Silva's Mind Control Program, that is about controlling our own mind for the betterment of mankind. The idea is that we will be learning sequential exercises, created by Jose Silva, and tested by thousands of others, endorsed and practiced by many of the world's most well-known and respected scientists, and thought leaders. On today's Episode #262 we will cover: ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory and we will build off from where we left on the last episode, where we were practicing building mental images on the screen of our mind, while in the Alpha Brain State. Chapter 3 on Dynamic Meditation involves “training your mind for organized, dynamic activities” that Jose Silva thinks is what our mind was designed for. He says “once you have reached the meditative level, to simply stay there and wait for something to happen is not enough. It is beautiful and calming and it does contribute to your good health, but these are modest accomplishments compared with what is possible.” This is where The Silva program gets exciting as we step past passive meditation techniques, to use it dynamically to solve problems. Now we'll see why it's so important to perfect what we see on the Screen of our Mind, and why daily practice of these skills is crucial. Let's Do This! Let's use our mind for something that's useful for us—something of value. It all begins with our imagination, on this screen of our mind, but Silva says there are 4 important laws we must follow next. The Silva Program says that --Whatever it is that you want, you must: Law 1: You must desire that the event take place. Law 2: You must believe the event can take place. Law 3: You must expect the event to take place. Law 4: You cannot create a problem. When I heard these laws, that Silva wants us to consider BEFORE we begin visualizing what we want, I connected them to Napoleon Hill's best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich, probably because this book review is still fresh in my mind. Law 1: You must desire that the event take place. (Which reminds me of the Second chapter of the TAGR book. If you recall, this is the chapter where Barnes had a burning desire to work with Edison, so intense that he “burned all bridges behind him. He stood by his desire until it became the dominating obsession of his life.” (TAGR, Ch 2, Page 20). BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO USE THE SCREEN IN YOUR MIND, THINK ABOUT THIS. Do you have a burning desire for whatever it is that you want to create? If not, keep thinking for what you REALLY want, and choose this to focus on for this activity. Law 2: You must believe the event can take place. (This reminds me of Chapter 3 in TAGR, the chapter of Faith: Visualizing and Believing in the Attainments of the Desire. Napoleon Hill said that “every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat” (TAGR, Ch 2, Page 21) and you'll do this, because you won't believe in any other outcome. In PART 2 of our TAGR Study, I wrote an example I saw while researching Dr. David Sinclair, who we covered on EPISODE #189[iv] (and he's come up a few times on the podcast with his pioneering work in the field of anti-aging). While researching him, I found out that he had to self-funded his trip from Australia to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to interview to work in their lab, which he did. He didn't let his lack of funds stop him from finding his way to MIT. He had a clear vision of what he wanted, and he BELIEVED in his vision, and didn't let any obstacles get in his way. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO USE THE SCREEN IN YOUR MIND, THINK ABOUT THIS: Do you BELIEVE the event you'll create on the screen of your mind can take place? Unwavering belief drives behavior, and it will come through, and be obvious by the way you walk (with purpose), the way you talk (with conviction) and finally, by the actions you will take, directed towards the attainment of whatever it is that you want. You will NEVER outperform your self-image. Without belief, you'll miss the boat. Law 3: You must expect the event to take place. While reading Silva's laws, I couldn't believe that these were all a part of the Napoleon Hill's best-selling book. I wondered if Silva learned them from Hill? I'll never know for sure, but expectation connects everything we are doing and when we expect something to happen, when it eventually does, we'll recognize it because it's been in our mind all along. In Silva's program, you will have spent some time with what you want on the screen of your mind, so expecting it is the next step. Law 4: You cannot create a problem. This law says a lot about who Jose Silva was as a person. He says “there is plenty of evil on this planet, and we humans perpetrate more than our share of it. This is done in Beta, not Alpha, not Theta, and probably not in Delta.” He says his research has proved this and I believe him. I don't believe in time wasting to prove what Silva has already proven, but it you want to use the Alpha Brain State to wish ill-will on someone else, you'll be wasting your time, as you will quickly snap out of Alpha in this process. You must only visualize something that's for the betterment of mankind. LET'S USE THE POWER OF OUR MIND TO SOLVE A PROBLEM ***To practice this, choose an event that's a solution to a problem you have. Something you desire, believe can come about, and can learn to expect it, with this exercise. STEP 1: PICK A PROBLEM Follow the steps that will get you into the Alpha Brain State, from our last episode (counting backwards from 100-1) and then lift your eyes upwards, and with your mind, create a mental screen where you will re-create the problem you want to solve. Relive the problem by seeing it and feeling it. For Schools: A problem could be a poor grade on a test, resulting in a low overall grade. For Sports: The problem could be a losing streak, or poor performance leading with the loss. For the Workplace: The problem could be a lack of sales in your organization, or poor performance somewhere. Pick the problem you want to solve, and visualize it on the screen of your mind. STEP 2: TAKE SOME SORT OF ACTION Next, you will gently push the problem scene off to the right which Silva explains in his book will represent the PAST. The past is now over, so push the problem aside. To the left of the problem, (that represents the FUTURE), create a NEW mental screen with the SOLUTION. Whatever you imagine will require ACTION of some sort showing you solving the problem. Most of us don't spend time thinking about the present moment or the future. We can easily get bogged down in what happened in the past. This is what I love about Silva's Method. The past is over, moved off to the side and we now focus ONLY on the present (taking action to solve the problem) and the FUTURE, which will highlight the changed outcome. For Schools: A solution could involve a student studying with more focus. For Sports: A solution could involve practicing a skill that is known for needed improvement. For the Workplace: A solution could involve presenting your product to a group of people who see its value, and decide they will purchase a large order. STEP 3: THE SOLUTION Finally, the action you have taken pays off, and you will envision the solution on the screen of your mind. Everything here is positive, and all of the feelings associated with the problem have been resolved. You celebrate the WIN here in as much detail as you can. What does this win feel like? Who's there watching you? What do you hear? What do you see? Involve all of your senses. For Schools: Picture the student celebrating when they see their efforts were rewarded with an A+ grade. This A+ will lead to many more, eventually allowing the student to receive an honor roll award at the end of the year. For Sports: You'll picture your team celebrating when the practice pays off with a WIN that eventually leads to a trophy or award at the end of the season. For the Workplace: You'll picture your team celebrating when they receive the large order that came from the hard work from the recent presentation. The team celebrates by hosting a lunch where all those involved are recognized for their efforts. These are some examples of using The Silva Method to train your brain towards your desired outcome. Does it always work? No, Silva says, but with time and practice, you'll start to see improvements that you might chalk up to be coincidences. He suggests stopping this practice altogether, and the coincidences will also stop. Start back up again, and they will reappear. You'll see…just practice this, and let me know what YOU see. With practice, the results you will see will be more and more astounding. The part that I forgot to mention was that in this Mind Control Exercise, “you will establish two routines. One for going to your level (with the countdown method) and the other for coming out of it.” Silva suggests at the end of STEP 3, after you've successfully visualized your solution, to say “I will slowly come out as I count from 1-5, feeling wide awake and better than before. One, two, prepare to open your eyes, three, open your eyes, four, five, eyes open, wide awake, feeling better than before.” This entire exercise, with practice, can be done with just 15 minute blocks of time, especially once you've reached the countdown method from counting from 5-1 to enter your level. You can also reach this state at any point in the day (morning upon wake, night, before sleep, or any time of day that you can a block of time where you can close your eyes and visualize yourself solving your problem). Chapter 5: Improving Memory We've covered memory hacks on this podcast with EPISODE #145[v] with Howard Berg, The World's Fastest Speed Reader on “Strategies for Improving Reading Comprehension and Recall” or EPISODE #149[vi] with Two-Time Guinness World Record Holder Dave Farrow on “Focus, Fatigue, and Memory Hacks.” I'll use what Howard Berg said in our interview together[vii] as he said “take a list that you know, and link it to what you want to remember” which is exactly what Jose Silva suggests with his memory strategy. Howard had me remember a list from 1-10 using words and images (1 looks like pole, 2 is shoe, 3 is a tricycle since it has three wheels), 4 is a car (four wheels), 5 is a glove (five fingers in a glove)…etc. Next, Howard had me speed learning this list of numbers using imagery, showing me how to remember longer lists of numbers with these images. If you had ever attended a seminar with Bob Proctor, he also did this activity, linking words that we want to remember to a list of 10 words we already know by what he called ridiculous association. With the audience, he would pick a list of 20 words they wanted to recall (the audience would shout out 20 things). I wrote them down in my notes you can see (if you can read my writing). Then Bob would tie the words we want to recall to the numbers we already knew, by ridiculous association. 1-run, the audience picked a water bottle to remember and he'd say, (imagine a water bottle running around the room) 2-zoo (imaging a whole bunch of watches behind the glass with the lions as they are walking around them at the zoo 3-tree (growing a whole bunch of telephones), 4-door (with eye-glasses on the handle balancing there about to drop off when someone opens the door)…Bob's memory technique was like Howard's linking images (ridiculous images that were difficult to forget) to a list of numbers we already knew. Silva also believed in creating visual images to remember words and called these images “memory pegs” and mentioned this type of learning is a whole other area. To keep it simple, he says, to remember something He says that “all that you have to do, once you've learned to work with your mental screen, is visualize a past event that surrounds an incident you believe you have forgotten, and it will be there. I say an incident you believe you have forgotten because in reality you have not forgotten it at all. You simply do not recall it. There is a significant difference.” (Ch. 5, Silva Silva Method). He says that our brains record far more than we realize, and goes on to give some fascinating examples of what people have remembered while under general anesthesia, which is a whole other area I'll cover another time. 3 Finger Technique: In this chapter, Silva shows us how we can use what he calls the 3 Finger Technique to help us to quickly access the Alpha Brain State and solve simple things, like memory recall. He says, “Here is how simple it is: Just bring together the thumb and first two fingers of either hand and your mind will instantly adjust to a deeper level” to accomplish what you want. Try it for yourself. STEP 1: Join together your thumb and your first two fingers. What do you notice? He says this instantly brings us into the Alpha State. STEP 2: REPEAT silently or out loud “Whenever I join my fingers together like this”—now join them—“for a serious purpose I will instantly reach this level of mind to accomplish whatever I desire.” I heard Vishen Lakhiani, the CEO of MindValley say that he calms himself down during public speaking with this method. I agree that it's very calming, and use this technique to relax when I'm feeling stressed or anxious. I just used it yesterday while driving my girls to gymnastics in heavy traffic. Silva says that teacher from Denver used this Three Finger Technique to teach her students spelling with a list of 20 words. To test them, she asks them to write down the words they studied that week, recall the words using the Three Finger Technique, and see the words on the screen of their minds. She's able to teach all of her students to remember their spelling list with this method. This concept is not new. It's often how people place their hands during meditation, while sitting crossed-legged, but Silva has taken this technique to new heights, and those who have applied to to their line of work have noticed a significant improvement with memory/recall. REMEMBER: “When a person learns to function mentally at this deeper level, creativity is enhanced. Memory is improved and a person is better able to solve problems.” (Jose Silva). TO REVIEW PART 2 OF THE SILVA METHOD: We covered ✔ REVIEW of EPISODE #261 PART 1 ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation ✔ The 4 Laws that must be in place BEFORE you visualize something. ✔ We Solved a Problem with 3 STEPS (Problem, Action, Solution) with ideas to use this method for schools, sports or the workplace. ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory ✔ The 3 Finger Technique SOME FINAL THOUGHTS: As we close out this episode, I want to reinforce that solving problems using the screen of our mind is something that takes some practice. This isn't something I've mastered yet, but as I have said, the purpose of these episodes are to see how we can improve our own meditation practices. It's only been 9 days for me now practicing the countdown method, and I'm noticing that I can access this beautiful Alpha Brain State quicker than I was from day 1 with improved focus, and clarity. My current goal is to be in better control of the images that I see on the screen of my mind. Right now, it's taking a lot of effort to override what I can see there already, and put something new on the screen that I want to create. When I need to access this state in the day, I'm using the 3 Finger Technique and finding another solution to instantly calm my brain. I'd obviously love to solve all of my problems overnight, but that's not how The Silva Program was designed. It's a journey of the mind, that I think is fascinating. “Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva I can see how many of Jose Silva's techniques have created geniuses, as Howard Berg, The World's Fastest Speed Reader used similar strategies, as well as the 2-time World Guinness Record Holder, Dave Farrow. Thank you for listening, and coming on this journey with me. I'd love to know what you notice if you have tried out the exercises with your field of work. With that, I'll close out for now, and will see you in a few days with Episode #163 on ✔ Ch 6-Speed Learning ✔ Ch 7-Creative Sleep REFERENCES: [i] Think and Grow Rich Book Review with Andrea Samadi Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #190 PART 1 “Making 2022 Your Best Year Ever” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-1-how-to-make-2022-your-best-year-ever/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #191 PART 2 on “Thinking Differently and Choosing Faith Over Fear” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-2-how-to-make-2022-your-best-year-ever-by-thinking-differently-and-choosing-faith-over-fear/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #193 PART 3 on “Putting Our Goals on Autopilot with Autosuggestion and Our Imagination” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-3-using-autosuggestion-and-your-imagination-to-put-your-goals-on-autopilot/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #194 PART 4 on “Perfecting the Skills of Organized Planning, Decision-Making, and Persistence” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-4-on-perfecting-the-skills-of-organized-planning-decision-making-and-persistence/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #195 PART 5 on “The Power of the Mastermind, Taking the Mystery Out of Sex Transmutation, and Linking all Parts of Our Mind” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-5-on-the-power-of-the-mastermind-taking-the-mystery-out-of-sex-transmutation-and-linking-all-parts-of-our-mind/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #196 PART 6 in Memory of Bob Proctor on “The 15 Principles Behind Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich Book” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/the-neuroscience-behind-the-15-success-principles-of-napoleon-hill-s-classic-boo-think-and-grow-rich/ [ii] The Silva Mind Control Method https://silvamethod.com/ [iii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #261 PART 1 “A Deep Dive into Applying the Silva Method for Improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/a-deep-dive-with-andrea-samadi-into-applying-the-silva-method-for-improved-intuition-creativity-and-focus-part-1/ [iv] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #189 on “Understanding Hormesis: Why Stress and Adversity Make Us Physically and Mentally Stronger” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/understanding-hormesis-why-stress-and-adversity-make-us-physically-and-mentally-stronger/ [v]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #145 with Howard Berg, the World's Fastest Speed Reader on “Strategies for Improving Reading Comprehension and Recall” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/the-worlds-fastest-reader-howard-stephen-berg-on-strategies-to-improve-reading-comprehension-and-recall-for-educators-and-the-workplace/ [vi]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #149 with Two-Time Guinness World Record Holder Dave Farrow on “Focus, Fatigue and Memory Hacks” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/2-time-guinness-world-record-holder-dave-farrow-on-focus-fatigue-and-memory-hacks-for-students-and-the-workplace/ [vii] Howard Berg's Memory Trick with Andrea (40:20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al0B6HzxtEk

“Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva (August 11, 1914-February 7, 1999) author of The Silva Mind Control Method. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast I'm Andrea Samadi and like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies to increase our results in our schools, sports, and modern workplaces. As we are in the midst of holiday season here with Thanksgiving this past week in the US, and Christmas fast approaching, we will be narrowing our focus here on the podcast and resuming interviews in the New Year. Until then, this episode will launch a series where I'll be taking us on a deep dive into the benefits of developing a meditation practice. While I'm sure those who tune into this podcast already have a practice in place, I wanted to cover a meditation method that I came across years ago, that our last interview, with Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram reminded me about. The goal of this series is to help all of us to reduce stress with this practice, but also to see if we can learn something new, and refine our practice for those who work in our schools to improve learning, in our sports environments for improved focus and concentration towards a specific goal, and in the corporate workplace for ideas to improve creativity and focus. We will begin this series reviewing Jose Silva and Philip Miele's The Silva Mind Control Method[i] that's based on the Revolutionary Program by the Founder of the World's Most Famous Mind Control Course. Ch 1: Using Our Mind in Special Ways This course is something I came across while working in the seminar industry, and while interviewing Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram, on our last EPISODE #260[ii], he reminded me of Jose Silva's program, that helped him with his self-esteem as a teenager, in addition to his studies, and a few other areas of his life, and this reminded me that I had come across Jose Silva's work years ago. I'd actually forgotten about this book, and many of the techniques we learned that were adaptations of Silva's work, and I thought that since meditation is helping so many people around the world, and it's now mainstream in our schools, with athletes, and in the corporate world, it would be fascinating to look closer at Jose Silva's Method, to see if it could help all of us to enhance our current meditation practice, myself included. Then I dove into The Silva Method, and realized his work is going to need to be broken up over a few episodes, like we did with The Think and Grow Rich[iii] book review, just to make it applicable for all of us, and give each chapter careful consideration as we look to see what parts of The Silva Method, could help us to improve our own lives. I wanted to release this episode last Friday, but in order to cover this topic properly, I knew I had to review the Silva Method thoroughly myself, do exactly what he instructs us to do, and not cut any corners. So this weekend, instead of recording, I reviewed and practiced the strategies in the first three chapters of this book, making more connections to past episodes, and increasing my learning and understanding before sharing these ideas with you. If you listened to our episode #258 with Friederike Fabritius, on her new book, The Brain-Friendly Workplace, I asked her what science has to say about those flashes of insight that we ALL have access to for improved creativity and performance, and she explained that “when you are relaxed, your brain waves slow down to the alpha state.” Friederike further explained that we can measure these brain waves with EEG scans and that at moments of insight, or those AHA Moments, the brain has “gamma oscillations” that can be trained and measured that she called “The Gamma Insight Effect.” After speaking with Friederike, I wondered HOW we could ALL train our brain to reach these levels to gain those flashes of insight on demand, or at least more often, to help us with our lives and work? Whenever I've had a flash of insight about something, it's often during times where I'm relaxed (during a massage, in the shower, or during meditation) but they happen when I'm not expecting them, so I've learned to write them down, to see I can learn the meaning behind them, and determines if the insight is useful. Have you had flashes of insight? When do they happen for you? How do you make use of what you are seeing? Next, I remembered our interview #148[iv] with Dr. James Hardt and his Biocybernaut Alpha One Training that helped people (like Tony Robbins) to access the zone, or peak performance, on demand, and increase those heightened levels of awareness for reduced stress and increased productivity. I wondered if there was a way we could do this ourselves, without having to pay the money to attend a training somewhere. Dr. Hasan spoke about attending Dave Asprey's 5 Day 40 Years of Zen Training[v], that was life-changing, but he also mentioned The Silva Method on EPISODE #260, that's designed specifically to help us to tap into the Alpha (deeply relaxed brain state) with other parts of the program that could train us to reach the Theta State (relaxed consciousness, deep meditation, light sleep, REM state) and the Delta State where we are in a deep sleep. Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram, who has successfully built 7 companies, believes that the Silva Method launched his mind to a whole new way of thinking and spoke about how Einstein and Edison would gain flashes of insight from relaxing their minds in a certain way, something that we ALL have access to do. Dr. Hasan is a huge believer in The Silva Method, that shows us how to access these creative brain states, and then give us some ideas of what to do with them once we are there. Jose Silva himself believed that once we learn how to use the tools in his program, that we all have the ability to become geniuses. Napoleon Hill even wrote about this in his best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich, when he said that a better definition of genius “is a man who had discovered how to increase the intensity of thought to a point where he can communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of thought.” Read that quote a few times and keep thinking. How could YOU benefit from diving a bit deeper into your meditation practice? We have covered meditation on this podcast, beginning with Dr. Dan Siegel all the way back to EPISODE #28[vi] where we spoke with Dr. Siegel about something he calls Mindsight, or seeing the mind in another person, and he says this is the “basis for social and emotional intelligence.” Then on EPISODE #60[vii], we dove deeper into his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and the science behind a meditation practice, which is evident to anyone who goes to www.pubmed.gov and types in the word “meditation” as they will see over 9,000 results showing that mindfulness and meditation clearly improves our health and wellness. Dr. Dan Siegel has mentioned the research often with his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, that “integrates the structure and function of the brain.” By integration, he meant moving towards well-being. But with ALL of these episodes, we've focused on WHAT meditation does (improves mental and physical health and well-being) but I've never covered exactly HOW to access these altered states of consciousness, or what to do when we get there, mostly because until I read Jose Silva's book, I had no idea what I was doing when I was meditating. I'd been doing many of the exercises in Silva's Program, that I had learned from different seminars and sources over the years, without fully understanding exactly what I was doing, and noticed I could use some improvement with my own practice. When Friederike Fabritius said that accessing these different brain states could be trained, and then suddenly Dr. Hasan mentioned HOW he trained his brain all those years ago, I thought it was time to take a closer look at our brain states. My goal with this episode is to help me to be more intentional with my meditation practice, and then share what I learn with you here. Just keep an open mind. As I share my insights with you from each chapter, see how the ideas could help you to improve YOUR practice, and perhaps give you some new insights along the way. On PART 1 of this book review we will cover: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method ✔ What this program has done for others. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization ✔ How to Help Yourself and Others With this Practice What This Program Has Done for Others: For this episode, #261, we will begin our DEEP DIVE into Jose Silva's Mind Control Method, used by over 10 million students around the world, to see if we can all use his work, that's based on accessing altered states of consciousness, to train our brain in ways where school just never taught us. The only reason I had heard about Jose Silva's Method, was that when I sold seminars for Bob Proctor, back in the late 1990s, many of the seminar attendees asked me if I had heard of Silva's Training. Over the years, I learned that parts of Silva's Methods were used in many of the seminars I had attended in the personal development industry, but I had never looked at the entire program as Jose Silva had written it. Much like I had only read parts of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book, until I decided to review it myself on this podcast earlier this year. We will be going through the chapters together, and see what resonates with our current practice enough to dive deeper into. Now, there are two ways you could learn about these concepts. You can either learn with me here on the podcast, or, if you want to go deeper, you could pay to do one of the trainings like Dr. Hasan Akram did (with Dave Asprey), or what Tony Robbins did, with Dr. James Hardt and his Biocybernaut Alpha One Training, or even dive deeper into The Silva Method as this Method is now called The UltraMind System[viii] that you can purchase through Mind Valley which is where the program exists today. It's here that the CEO of Mind Valley, a New York Times Best-Selling author himself, Vishen Lakhiani[ix] was asked to be the face of Jose Silva's work, just a few years after he passed away. PART 1 of My Review of the Silva Method: Remember when Dr. Hasan held up his copy of Jose Silva's book, from our last episode? The book is actually written as a book within a book, as the outside chapters 1 and 2, and 17-20 were written by Philipe Miele, who orients us to Jose Silva, and the millions of graduates who have benefitted from the program, while the inside of the book consists of the techniques we will learn, written by Jose Silva. We will learn more about the type of man Jose Silva was, but I have to clarify the title of the program, that is based solely on learning to control our mind for “the betterment of mankind.” (Page 6, The Silva Mind Control Method). The program cannot be used in any other way and is not meant to be used to “control” anyone, other than our own minds. As we saw with the quote we opened up with, once we can learn how to use our mind, it will do some astounding things. Throughout this series, we will see how it can be used to improve our own intuitive and creativity skills, solve large and small problems that we might have in business and in life, and will even uncover ways we can use the tools to improve our own health, or the health of others. Just keep an open mind as we go through the chapters, and I'll show you how I've either used the tools myself, or have seen them being used by others for results that cannot be denied. What This Program Has done for Others Now, don't just take my word for the deep work we will uncover in the next few episodes, here's what some of the leading experts have said about Jose Silva's Method as well as what Jose Silva himself has said that his program has done for others. ✔ A marketing company used it to create 18 new products. ✔ 14 Chicago White Socks players used it to boost their scores. ✔ Celebrities have used it and credit Jose Silva for improving their focus and creativity. ✔ Colleges and universities have used it to help students study less, but learn more. To access the research[x] that has been done on this program to date, I'll link it in the show notes. The late Dr. Wayne Dyer has said that “anything with the name Jose Silva as the author has my vote before I open to page one. Read it with a pen for underlining.” The Founder of Precious Moments, Jon Butler said that “Any CEO who is not using altered states of mind is at a competitive disadvantage.” (from Vishen Lakiani's Masterclass).[xi] As you go through this book review with me, think of where The Silva Program could help you. There will be some areas that will resonate with you, that you can practice and refine, and others that you can set aside for a later time. At the end of each of these review episodes, I'll have a section for you to put the ideas into action with clear examples of how I have used these exercises. REMEMBER: “When a person learns to function mentally at this deeper level, creativity is enhanced. Memory is improved and a person is better able to solve problems.” (Jose Silva). Ch 2- Meet Jose Silva What's crazy for me to see, looking back at Silva's work, is that he began The Silva Method, with his children while he was working on a way to improve learning. Like any parent, he wanted the best for his own children and their academics. But Jose Silva went above and beyond what most of would do for this to occur. He took his knowledge of working with radios and electronic circuitry, (what he did for his work that he excelled at) and combined this knowledge with the fact that we know that the mind generates energy, and developed a program that he hoped would help the brain to work more efficiently. He tested his ideas on his children. Imagine Jose Silva, as a young man, with young children, who would work his job in radio repair until 9pm every night, come home, eat dinner, help put his children to bed, and then when his house was quiet, he would go on to study until midnight. He would learn the ideas that would eventually help his own children improve their grades, extending the course to other children, who achieved even better results with his program, as he refined and improved it along the way, and then within 3 years, developed the course that we know today. This is where The Silva Method began, that has now been validated by over 500,000 experiments, providing the results that no one could ignore. Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). A Review of the Brain States: Beta Brain States: are where most of us spend our waking time, in normal and alert consciousness with brain waves at 15-30 cycles/second. It's here that we can feel the stress and anxiousness of daily life, so finding ways to offset this stress can be helpful. ***Alpha Brain State: where our brain slows down and we begin to feel healing, a sense of relaxation, or bliss, at around 9-14 cycles/second with our brain waves. This brain state is where most of Jose Silva's Programs are centered around. Theta Brain State: involves deeper relaxation with access to problem solving while these waves slow down to 4-8 cycles/second. If we can train our brain to stay awake here, we will be able to access heightened levels of creativity and intuition for solving problems. In chapter 7 of the book, Jose Silva covers Creative Sleep. He says “Understand a Man's Dreams, and You Understand the Man” Delta State: our brain waves slow to 1-3 cycles/second while we are in deep dreamless sleep. How Do We Use the Silva Method to Access the Alpha State Where All the Magic Begins? STEP 1: HOW TO ACCESS THE ALPHA STATE: YOU CAN ACCES THE ALPHA STATE WHEN YOU FIRST WAKE UP, BEFORE BED, and ANY OTHER TIME YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES TO RELAX YOUR MIND. The Alpha State is the easiest state to access as we will already be in this state the first 5 minutes after we wake up. Jose Silva suggests: Jose Silva suggests the 40 Day Technique to guarantee you are at the Alpha Level where you begin by counting backwards from 100 to 1 for 10 mornings, then you can count from 50-1 for the next 10 mornings, then from 20-1 for 10 mornings, and then 10-1 until you get to 5 to 1. I'm currently in the first 10 days of counting backwards from 100-1 to allow myself to drift deeper into Alpha in the morning as well as before I go to sleep at night. I noticed that I'm more focused on my morning meditation, whereas before, I was just sitting there, not as focused as I know I could have been. I practice Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness Meditation each morning, and going into the Alpha State FIRST, has deepened my brain state into the Alpha level, where I no longer drift off when I hear a noise or something. PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE: Begin using the 100-1 countdown to at night, in the morning, or whenever you plan to access the alpha level to begin to improve your current practice. I'm in my first few days of practicing this method before sleep, and the first couple of nights, fell asleep before I could get to 1. I'll keep trying, as I'd like to get to the point where I can just count from 5-1 to access the Alpha State, like Jose Silva suggests. If you are as serious about accessing this level as I am, I suggest keeping a note card next to your work place to check off where you are in this process. After 10 days, you can progress to the next step, until you are able to access the alpha state from counting from 5-1. STEP 2: ONCE YOU REACH THE ALPHA STATE, THEN WHAT? Next, You will learn to use a Mental Screen for Heightened Visualization Once you have accessed the Alpha State, Silva reminds us: Central to Jose's Silva Method of Mind Control is with the power of visualization, and he says “right from the beginning, from the very moment you reach your meditative level (what he calls accessing the Alpha State), you must learn to practice visualization. The better you learn to visualize, the more powerful will be your experience with Mind Control.” He also believes that his process goes far beyond what many of us have come across with other meditation programs, and as I go through each chapter, I'll leave it to you to pick and choose which parts of his program resonate with you to use and practice, but this part is important to master for EVERYTHING else we will be learning. PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE: When you close your eyes, what do you see? Raise your eyes up a bit (about 20% upwards above the horizon of what you see). Is it black, or can you use your mind to create things? Begin with simple things like an orange or an apple. This takes time and practice. This mental screen will help you in many ways as we move through different lessons, and is important, but don't be tied to what you think you should see. We are all at different stages of learning. I started seeing things on the screen of my mind starting in my late 20s, and things would flash sometimes when I was relaxed. I never did have control over what I was seeing. It just happened, and I would either know what I was seeing, or be wondering “what on the earth is that” so I'm hoping that with time, effort and practice, I will gain better control over what I'm able to visualize, so I can put it to better use. STEP 3: Now Utilize This Power With time and practice, it will be this screen that you will learn how to help yourself and others. You begin with creating simple things, until you are ready to solve small problems in your daily life, from work, to health, and improve learning/creativity. PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE: Just begin here with playing around with what you can create on the screen of your mind in the Alpha State. If you do nothing else, other than these 3 steps, you will experience what William Wordsworth called “a happy stillness of mind.” (Page 27, The Silva Method). Think of this as a journey within your mind. Each day you will be getting better and better, mentally stronger and stronger, and remember the quote we opened this episode with? “Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, you will soon see.” (Jose Silva) TO REVIEW PART 1 of THE SILVA METHOD: We covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method ✔ What this program has done for others. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose Silva and learned about his passion for helping others to improve their ability to learn. ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). ✔ How to quickly access the ALPHA STATE to improve creativity, and intuition using the countdown Method. ✔ Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization ✔ It Will Be This Screen That We Will Use to Help Yourself and Others in Future Chapters. SOME FINAL THOUGHTS: As we close out this episode, I wanted to share that while there are many programs out there, and I'm not here to say that one is better than the next. If you have studied the father of mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn, you'll recall that he reminds us that we are already perfect, and that mindfulness is not about “attaining a certain state, (that brings us to this new level of perfection) but that we are already whole and perfect.” Whatever program you are doing now, see if there's anything we cover that interests you to dive deeper into to further enhance what you are already doing. And with that, I'll post the topics in upcoming episodes on the show notes, and I'll see you in a few days, with EPISODE #162 on Dynamic Meditation and Improving Our Memory. COMING NEXT: Episode #162 we will cover ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory Episode #163 ✔ Ch 6-Speed Learning ✔ Ch 7-Creative Sleep Episode #164 ✔ Ch 8-Your Words Have Power ✔ Ch 9-The Power of Imagination ✔ Ch 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health Episode #165 ✔ Ch 12- You Can Practice ESP ✔ Ch 13- Form Your Own Practice Group ✔ Ch 14- How to Help Others Episode #166 ✔ Ch 16- A Checklist ✔ Ch 17- A Psychiatrist Works with The Silva Program ✔ Ch 18- Your Self-Esteem Will Soar ✔ Ch 19- Mind Control in the Business World ✔ Ch 20- Where Do We Go from Here?

Brothers, all of you are a triumvirate; made up of mind, body, and spirit. The way to reach true alignment and to experience life in your Alpha State is to get to the point where all three of these elements of the trinity that is you, are acting in harmony. When you achieve this, you will understand that what you do is not important, it's how you do it. Too many people are obsessed with doing, when really what we should all be focusing on is being. We are human beings after all. Right, brothers? Every circumstance that you find yourself in is something that you've attracted and chosen, but even though your spirit has guided you to your choice, it is not able to impose your experience of that choice onto you. That is up to your mind. If you're worrying about what you should be doing with your life, stop. Think about who you are instead. If you're unsure of who you are, I'll tell you; love, that's who you are brother, and you have a right to feel joy, compassion, gratitude, and kindness.

Most of you listening to this will be under the illusion that you are living your life when the truth is that you are actually dreaming your life. I understand why this may be confusing brothers, but give me a chance to explain it to you in full and it will all become clear. There are two parts to the Dream of Life; the first is the setup and the second is the awakening. What you experience as reality is actually all in your head, but just like lucid dreamers can become conscious in their dreams, you can become conscious in the greater Dream of Life and therefore create the life you truly want. In other words, you can learn to ‘lucid live!' But before you can do this, brothers, you need to remember and understand who you are, and that is where I can help you. If you are ready to get to the core of your true self and use the power you have within you to build the life you deserve, I implore you to enroll at the Academy. Words don't do justice to what it feels like to live in your Alpha State, and I want all of you to be able to experience what I do on a daily basis.

hello? Hello, this is your host Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Robert Radnoti. Robert is a certified master hypnotherapists at Hypnorad by Robert Radnoti. Studied life strategies at Anthony Robbins, master university, and a trainer and consultant for Dr. Joe Dispenza, Neuro Change Solutions, which I am a huge fan of Dr. Joe and his amazing meditation work to change minds and your reality. And talk about self-healing, Robert also is a senior leader with Tony Robbins, and he has worked with Marisa Peer. Boy, Tony Robbins, Dr. Joe, Marissa. I still want to pick your brain Robert like for days on end and you are a life coach as well, which makes perfect sense with all of that background under your belt. And now you're the CEO of Radnoti Research Institute. Let's start with hypnotherapy, always curious to know about how our brains work. Welcome Robert to The Vitality Feed. Well, thank you so much. I'm honored to be here. Well, let's start from the beginning. Tell us how you went from the engineer to a track and field coach at a division one school to a hypnotherapist. That definitely sounds like an entrepreneurial path, if I've ever heard. Well, I think I was thinking about this on my run on the beach today. I'm thinking about what I could provide to your audience. And I think one of the key things is, is managing risk and, you know, some people are risk adverse. Some people are risk tolerant, and depending on really your family and your culture and where you grew up. Pretty much determines or patterns, um, kind of how you feel about those kinds of things. And in my family, my family came from Hungary and they escaped from the Russians and came here and, and then they ended up in Las Vegas. School at UNLB the rebels, they were rebels, they became rebels. And I think I'm kind of rebellion. And I think that that's where it comes from specifically to hypnotherapy. What happened was I was at Pepperdine university, which I thought was my dream job. I, I was always into running, always into organizing. Since I was a little kid. I was a guy that ran around the neighborhood and organized the baseball and football and basketball, depending on the season. And I loved running and wanted to coach people. So I quit my engineering job at Exxon to become first, a high school coach for $2,000 a year. When my then wife wasn't working and we had a big house and two kids, and I just did it. I was day-trading in the.com run-up and thought that would last forever, but it didn't. But anyway, I did pretty well at thousand Oaks high school, we won a state championship and, we raised a bunch of money. And when we left, we had more national record holders than any school in the nation. And I thought this is going to be easy. I moved on to Pepperdine University. Unfortunately it was a very minimally funded program. And I thought I could change that and all the different ways that I tried didn't work. And finally, I decided I want to beat UCLA. We were a division one program, UCLA and Oregon, and some of the big time schools. And on the 1 0 1 freeway to my home, there's been a sign that I've seen for probably 30, 40 years called HMI hypnotherapy. I had no clue what it really was. And a lot of people that drive through the valley see that sign. And I said, gosh, I wonder if I could hit my ties, my athletes to run faster. And so I went to one of those introductory sessions at HMS. Hypnosis meditation instituted Tarzana, California turns out it's like the world's foremost hypnotherapy school, Dr. Joe Dispenza and graduated from there as did Marisa peer as did many, pretty famous hypnotherapists. It's the, I think the only accredited or at least the first accredited college of hypnotherapy in the. Wow. And so it's not like a workshop. I was traveling quite a bit. So it took me 18 months to do it. What was interesting was that, once I got to the point where I could hypnotize my athletes. We went to a track meet up at San Luis Obispo and the kids knew what I was doing. And I got six brave kids that said they're willing to try to be hypnotized, um, to run faster than it. So we, we did this, we set this up, the whole team was watching and it was so interesting because back then I was using, what's called the arm raising technique. And that's how we put people on hypnosis and it, part of it's building confidence. And what you do is you have the person put their arm. I know you can't see here, but you put your arm on a table. And then I start just talking to them and saying that your arm is filled with helium. And before, you know, you're not even going to be able to stop this, but your arm is going to start to raise and it raises, and it, it takes like five to 15 minutes and the arm will raise until they hit their face. And this is you, do you snap your fingers and you'll say deep sleep and they're out. And literally I've done this a hundred times. I think only once did it not work. It just it's mind blowing to me that it works every time. And so I just hypnotize each of these athletes to run faster, to be more relaxed, to be more confident, et cetera, in their race. And then the next day, all six of them set huge personal records. PRS. We call them in the running world and then on the Monday following my athletic director called me into the office and I thought, oh, this is going to be great. He's finally going to say something good about something that I've done. And he said, I heard what you did on Friday night. And then how the kids ran on Saturday. I'm saying, yeah, it was so cool. And he goes, you know, you can't do that. And I said, what? I mean, I was like, and he said, we're a Christian University. And you were playing God. And I go as soon as he said it, I kind of understood it, but I, I didn't think of it up until that point. I was really buck. The good part was because initially I went to hypnotherapy school specific for My athletes and, or other athletes eventually, you learn how to deal with 146 different issues that people have. And I found that I was able to help people worldwide because essentially my, internships started the day everything's shut down for the Corona virus pandemic. And so I had to learn this new thing called zoom and hypnotize people over zoom. So I put in a post on my Facebook saying I'm looking for seven brave people, let me practice hypnotherapy with them over zoom. And within a week I had 56 people and I kept saying, yes, I only want to seven, but I said, yes. And literally I had, four to eight clients every day, seven days a week for several months. And it was interesting because by the time I graduated, one of the things they told me is they said you're, you're, you're graduated is that I actually had more clinical hours than anyone in the 54 year history of HMI. Because typically, you did it in the office. We have an office and you get one or two clients a day, three or four or five days. I was doing it seven days a week with up to eight clients. So it was really great and I practiced in practice and it may be a better hypnotherapists in fact, sort of one of my claims that I really like is that I was working with this cancer patient in Australia and on her third or fourth session. Her dog was running around her chair, where she needed to be, in a peaceful, calm place. And I said, put that dog up on your chest. I'm going to hypnotize your dog to stop barking. She said, you can do that. And I said, sure, not really knowing, but while she's running around getting the dog, I Googled, how do you hypnotize a dog? And it turns the world's foremost, cat and dog hitting a therapist. Is one of the instructors at HMI. And so I read a script, Princeton, her dog was sitting on her chest . I hypnotized her and the dog. And the next day she did a testimonial on her Facebook saying how excited she is that Princeton isn't barking at all thanks to Robert Radnoti and the hypnosis he did yesterday. Amazing stories. gosh, I think one of the coolest parts about that is that you taught those individuals on your team, the power of opening your mind. And I think that is the best gift that you gave them. Was that. They came, they're willing to try something new and it proved to work for them. And then they're going to take that away and use that concept in probably a million things for the rest of their life. So as you probably know, in sport, you know, we use a lot of visualization techniques in training. It was consistent with everything. I had been teaching all along and have been since I, I started coaching. So it was just a little bit of a stretch and actually a big stretch because some people are afraid of hypnotherapy. They think that, you know, I'm going to make them run around like a chicken with its head cut off or quack like a doctor or something like that. And that's not what hypnotherapy is. That's stage hypnosis. Okay. And that's very different and hypnotherapy, we have a code of ethics and we are bound to help the client get what they want. So it's not even what I want. I'm just a facilitator. So, you know, in the first part of a session with someone, I just interview them and ask them, what do they really, really want? And then all hypnosis is, is putting people into a state. Where they're the most open to suggestions and the suggestions actually come from the client. So when I'm interviewing somebody, I'm writing down on my paper, here's what they want. And exact words to suggest into the subconscious. And it's become such a powerful thing because by the time we're in our mid thirties, 95% of all our thoughts, behaviors, habits, patterns, attitudes, feelings, and emotions are programmed into our body. They're in subconscious. And so that's why change is so difficult. And many of these, the gurus that you talked about, they have various processes to get into the subconscious. Just allow people to go in that hypnotic state, dropping them from the beta brainwave frequency that they're in during the normal course of the day, dropping them to alpha where their internal environment becomes more important. And then into theta where they're in this light sleep, where the door between the conscious and unconscious mind is open. And that's where we can make some suggestions to serve people. That is so good. I do know I do meditate in the morning first thing as soon as I open my eyes, I go get my phone and I plug in and I meditate right away because I in that in the alpha stage. And that is much better timing to do then than getting up for an hour and then trying to meditate. I was going to ask you if you could explain what hypnotherapy is. So you're in the theta state. You're in the theta state. And when you're first born, all your mind knows is fight or flight but as you're growing up between birth and about eight years old, literally every experience you have gets stored in your subconscious. So you have thousands of positive experiences, thousands of negative experiences, but they're all stored there. And many of them, if not most of them, we don't even remember somewhere around eight years old you develop, what's called the critical mind or the analytical mind. And that's a piece of the mind that now starts to filter and decide. From the experiences or the learnings, is that really true? Do I want to store it in my subconscious? And the best example I have of that is, is Santa Claus. Did you believe in Santa Claus at one point. We all did. Right? And then somewhere around eight years old, a parent, a neighborhood kid, someone said, now, hold it. Do you think this fat guy with a white beard really makes presents for every kid in the world with some elves. And your analytical mind that started to develop. Huh? I no longer believe that. Right. That happens around that eight years old or so. And so between eight and about 12 years old, 13 or so, you develop your conscious mind, your analytical mind, your subconscious mind, and a lot of the things that we have program or kind of set. And so hypnosis allows us to drop below and through that critical mind and the subconscious, and then we can either strengthen a positive experience or we can weaken lesson or even eliminate a negative experience, or we can create a whole new experience because the mind doesn't know whether it's real or not. And a real good example is as I mentioned, my parents were from Hungary in growing up my sister and I, we always wanted to have a dog and my dad never wanted to have a dog. We couldn't understand everyone in the neighborhood. I had a dog, but he just said, I like dogs. I don't want it. And it was many years later, we were at a family reunion in Budapest and there's dogs running all over the place and I'm just kind of remarked, Hey, what's the deal with all the dogs. We weren't allowed to have dogs. And she goes, well, I know why. And everyone turned to her to say, well, why? And she said, when your dad was five years old, he was bitten by a dog and he didn't remember it. But it made sense. It was programmed in his subconscious because he couldn't explain why he didn't like dogs. He was a very loving, caring person that you would think would really like dogs, but he was afraid of. And so, you know, it, we all have these things and I'm guessing that you, I all your audience, we probably done somethings in our life, maybe every day, where we go. I wonder why I did that. And it's because of things in our subconscious that we just don't even know about. And that's why hypnotherapy can be so powerful because we can go in and we can discover some of those things, or we can create new things to serve you. And that's what the, the profession, the business, the mission is all about is serving people, helping them become more vital in their lives, live rad and love contagiously. That's kind of like my thing. It is just so fulfilling to be able to do this. That's why I'm excited to, to come on here and share this message. And I'm so glad you did. Cause I find this fascinating. I really do. And I know about you are your experiences. I always tell people, make sure you're asking yourself. Why, why do you do things? Because it is important to think about, is it really what I believe or is it really what I've been told to believe? That is so true. Um, this is a crazy idea, I know we had talked about this and I think it's really cool about maybe doing a general session for our audience and hypnotherapy. Can we do that? We can do that. I had one other thought as you were speaking, if I could just share this. This is kind of interesting to me. And this comes from Dr. Joe Dispenza. one of the things that we teach in this program, so now I'm teaching his, his program it's called, Change Your Mind, Create New Results. And it's based on his book, Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself. We have a two day class that we teach. Now there's about a hundred or so of us worldwide that are teaching this program. But one of the hallmarks from this is, is that your personality, creates your personal reality or your life and your personality consists of how you think, how you act and how you feel. And that most people want to change their personal reality or their life as the same personality. And it simply doesn't work in order to make a change. If you want a different life, you have to change. You have to become someone different. And so what you just said, I'm asking the question, why that's an important thing, because it's becoming metacognitive thinking about the thoughts that you have, because what happens is we're in a program if 95% of every thought every action, every feeling is programmed into it. We're doing things unconsciously. And so we have a familiar path and we're not making any changes because we think 60 to 70,000 thoughts per day. And 90% of them are the exact same thoughts we had the day before. And so if we're having the same thoughts, those thoughts are creating the same choice. And those same choices then lead to the same behaviors. Those same behaviors create the same experiences and the same experiences produce the same feelings and emotions, and they then influence the same things thing. And we keep doing the same thing over and over again. And our life doesn't change. Because we haven't changed. And our biology, our neurochemistry, our neurocircuitry, our hormones and even our gene expression stay the same because we are the same. For people to understand is they've got to change if they want to change. Right. And it's very difficult for most people. It's that uncertainty muscle that Tony Robins I know talks about. I loved his analogy with marriages and how people get divorced and they get remarried and that doesn't work out and it's because they haven't changed. It's not the marriage. It's that you're just taking the same person that didn't function well in a marriage prior and sticking them into another marriage that's not going to work well either. What I got out of Tony Robbins around relationships and a lot of different areas. Not only do you not change, but we literally don't know the strategies on how to have a successful relationship or how to have a successful business or how to a lot of different things. We weren't programmed or we didn't learn how to have a relationship. Right. You know, we have parents and they're doing the best they can, you know, in our generations, they kind of stuck together a lot of times for the kids, but were they really loving? Do we have many examples of these great loving relationships? We don't. I've been married 40 years. What are you happy? There's a big difference between being married for 40 years of being happily married. That's one of the things I think that I take from Tony is he's got brilliant strategies every aspect of life, whether it's relationships, emotions, time management, your purpose, finances, your contribution, spiritual life, there are strategy. So let's get back to our hypnotherapy session for everybody out there, listening. Okay. So here's what, there's something really, really super important in. Everyone's got to agree to, this is you cannot participate in this. If you are driving or you are doing something that if we set you into or put you in a state of hypnosis, that you could be a danger to yourself or to somebody. You have to be in a place where you're by yourself undisturbed. So you can't have kids running around, you can't have dogs running around, you can't have spouses running around nothing. You have to do this when you're in a quiet place. Ideally you're in a chair that kind of reclines back a little bit where your head is supported and it's quiet. So if someone's listening in any of those kinds of situations, they should just stop this. If they'd like to do this, they can then start it back when they're in that situation, is that agreement for everyone? So everyone, that's a disclaimer, so please, please be in a safe location before you try to do this hypnotherapy. We want to keep everybody safe and we want it to work well for you, so do it in a safe setting. That there'll be no injuries. Okay. And are you going to do it, Caroline? Absolutely. Okay. So get yourself in a place where you can sit back and you're undisturbed. All right. So what I'd like everyone to do is go ahead and close your eyes. And If you're wearing glasses, go ahead and take your glasses off. just start with three deep breaths, deep cleansing breaths. Three deep breaths, cleansing breaths, breathing out any pressure or tension that might be in your body. And breathing in the feelings of peace and serenity and tranquility, breathing in thankfulness and gratefulness, breathing in through the heart, joy and happiness and freedom. Letting any tension in your body then kind of do a body scan. And if there's any pressure, tension, anywhere in your body, just allow that to sort of gravity feed and go out through your toes and breathe in the feeling of love and bliss and ecstasy. And just allow yourself to now call on your beautiful, creative, imaginative, amazing mind, and say, I'm open to this experience. I want to create some amazing images and visualizations as we go forward. And this is with my permission and for the purposes of hypnosis education only that we do. And so what I want you to do is imagine a white beam of light coming down from the heavens above and entering the crown of your head and flowing through your whole body, calming, relaxing, and allowing any tension in your body to just dissipate and flow out of your. And as this beam of light comes and enters the crown of your head, I want you to now just command your face to relax a little bit more, your forehead, your cheekbones, and your jaw. Just relax your whole face and moving downwards. Those little tiny neck muscle. Well then to relax this white beam of light, as it comes to the base of your neck, it splits into three, two pieces going to your arms and one into your body and the light, the goes, your arms, feel your shoulder, relax a little bit more relaxing, your biceps and triceps. And it flows through your forearms and into your hands and out through your fingertips. And you wiggle your fingertips a little bit, just visualize that light beam by continually flowing in through your head and out through your arms and through your fingertips. And now come back to the base of your neck and feel that larger beam of light go into your body, cavity and swirl around and calm down and relax your heart. Slowing down your heart rate into your lungs and slowing your breathing. Swirling around your spine and all those beautiful vital organs, your stomach and intestines and kidneys and everything in there. Just relaxing as you go further and further into a calm, peaceful place. The beam of light now goes down past your butt muscles, your gluteus Maximus, minimus, relaxing those muscles and into your legs. As you relax your hamstrings and thigh. Lycos, pastor knees relaxing. Now your calves and your shins and into your feet and out through your toes, maybe wiggling your toes and all the pressure and tension in your body, in your life in your day. At least for this session, just fade away. As you go into a very peaceful place. Now, what I want you to do from here is I want you to visualize or imagine yourself on a beach, actually on a wooden, um, landing where there's 20 steps, 20 wooden steps down to the beach, down to the same. And you're on this platform is very safe. There's handrails there, you feel safe, but it's a beautiful, beautiful day and beautiful as whatever your creative imaginative mind wants to create. And you can create the beach scene down in front of you. And it could be that a beach scene of California or of the east coast, maybe with those darker sands or toward the south, toward the Caribbean where they've got the white Sandy beach. Or maybe in Hawaii, the lava fields that dark, dark sands, or maybe even in the baldies where they've got the pink sands, whatever you want your imagination to create, go ahead and allow it to be created and allow there to be vegetation and Palm trees and eye biscuits and whatever pops into your imagination. Just allow it to be as you stand on this wooden platform above the sand. Feeling very safe, feeling, very calm. And as you look down to the beach, to the sand at the base of the stairs, you see a person down there, you can't quite make out who it is, but they look familiar to you. And you're drawn to them in a moment. We're going to walk down the steps to meet that person. But for right now, I want you to bring yourself back up to this platform and I want you to. Place yourself in your imagination, in the body of you. So you can't see your soul wholesale because you're inside yourself. So if you look down, you might see your thighs and maybe your feet, but you can't see your face because you're inside your body. And I want you to place your left hand on the left railing. And I want you to put your left foot. Down this step, number 20, we're going to walk down together, your right foot to step number 19, your left 18, your right to 17. You're left to 16. And so on 15, 14, 13, 12, 11. Ten going further into your subconscious 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 and Deep sleep. And just allow yourself to go to the optimum place. In your subconscious, where you're the most open to suggestions, suggestions to serve you, to benefit you. And this is for the purposes of hypnosis only. And with your permission each and every time I say deep sleep and snap, my fingers, you'll go further into your subconscious where we can make some suggestions this for acute. And so now, I want you to feel the sand below your feet, your shoeless feel the sand between your toes. You're down on the beach down, maybe about 20 feet or so away from the water, but the person that you sort of recognize from the top comes now in front of. And without speaking word, either one of you, they come into view and it's you of your future and you have, your future is smiling and you look at him or her left eye to left eye because the left eye connects to the right side of the brain, your emotional side of the brain. And you want a good connection. And you can feel the love that you have for each other, because this is you have your future looking at you. It's an emotional experience. And you want a good connection And you can feel the love that you have for each other, because this is you have your future looking at you And the, you have your future finally starts to speak and says to you, I have been waiting for this day ups and the downs, the challenges and the joy. And I'm here to tell you the next phase of your life. is going to become truly amazing, truly remarkable as you grow into the man or woman that you were designed and destined to be my God or the universe or the source or higher power, whatever you believe in spiritually, the next phase of your life is going to be truly amazing. And I'm here to give you a message and this is the most important message that you can receive today. The message to you is that you are worthy for what's coming the next phase of your life, that you are more than enough that you deserve the successes coming your way. In every aspect of your life, it's among the most important things to know deep in your subconscious is that you are worthy. You are more than enough. You are loving, lovable, and loved. Sure. You like every other human as flaws has made mistakes because you are human. And I want you to remember this new word possibly for you. And it's flawsome, you are awesome with all the flaws that you have because too, oftentimes we make a mistake or we have a flaw and we beat ourselves up. We're no longer going to do that. Every time that happens. We're just going to simply say stop. And reflect back on this moment where you understand that every human being is flawsome. Every human being makes mistakes. Every human being is worthy and more than enough, and these deserving and loving, lovable, and loved. Once we remember that. Once we integrate this into every cell within your body, the magic, the mystical, the unexplained begins to happen in your life. And as you have the future talking to you of the present, I'm here to tell you I'm here to suggest into your subconscious how important this truly is. And I want you to reflect on this throughout the day and days. And I want you to repeat any time you question yourself, anytime you need to stop. I want you to tell yourself the short ancient, Hawaiian tribe, whole Pono Pono, short prayer. Just saying it to yourself and repeat this with me now. I love you. Thank you to your subconscious. I love you. Thank you to your inner child. I love you. Thank you. I love you. Thank you. I love. Thank you with that. You have your future goes quiet. You know, eventually you go to hug each other and as you pull the, you have your future into you, they meld into your body. You pull them into you because after all that you have your future is you. The worthy, the loving, the deserving, the flawsome you the future is you, right? You pull that all into you. It feels good. It feels loving. It feels right. It feels blissful. It feels freedom. It feels joy and happiness, peace and joy and tranquility. You're grateful. And with that, we're going to bring you out of the state of hypnosis by counting you out from zero to five and at five you'll come eyes wide open, but at zero, I want you to look out at this beach scene that you've created. Right now, We're going to bring you out of hypnosis again by counting you out. And it one, I want you to know that we've made some suggestions into your subconscious to serve you, to benefit you that are very, very powerful and it to have faith in yourself, trust in yourself. Believe in yourself. You've got this that you have programmed into every cell in your body, the feelings and emotions. You've just experienced from the, you have your future and it three, fill yourself up with hope and excitement anticipation for this next phase of your life. Now at four become aware that you're in your room on a chair and a couch on a bed and start to come back, come back and at five eyes wide, open 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 eyes wide open and come back. And if everyone fell asleep, take yours out. How awesome. That's just the first part of it. Usually I take people down to the beach and there's an experience there. And then we come back, we sit down, there's another experience there, but I'm watching the time so I wanted to kind of close things up it was awesome. Thank you so much for doing that. That was really neat. I have one little last question. It's my signature question, if you could eliminate one thing in this world, what would it be and why Robert eliminate one thing in the world? Oh gosh. There's so many things right now that, uh, eliminate aren't there. Um, I would eliminate the negative fixed mindset that so many people have so that more people could be open to people like myself, to people like you, you know, we are creating an army of people that really want to change the world. Yes that want to feel the world with love and joy and happiness and create the kind of environment and lifestyle and culture that we're proud of. That we're honored to be part of that we can grow from and live in a state of bliss and joy and happiness and all those beautiful feelings that, uh, that we want that. I love that. And I probably would answer that question very similar, because I think when you go to these kinds of events that you partake in all the time, a lot of people go there with a fixed mindset and then they leave pretty much the same way. And I'm like, no, that's what this is all about. You come here to open yourself up to new ideas and leave a different person so that you can grow. Where can our listeners connect with. I've got a website, Robertradnoti.com. Um, another website, radnotihypnosis. I'm on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all those kinds of things. thank you so much, Robert, for being with us today, this was a really cool experience. Something very different I've never done before. And I really appreciate your time today and investing with our audience and sharing your gifts. So thank you very much.

Well, flow is that state we experience when we are living in the moment, we're in the zone, totally focused on what we're doing, so immersed and absorbed by it that it feels like no time is passing at all.This is known as a peak experience state, and it can feel like life is magically unfolding and all's right with the world.

Brain Fact Friday on "Improving Mental Clarity by Understanding our Brain States, Brain Fog, and How It's Created"

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #147 that has taken me back to Dr. Jon Lieff from episode #143[i] and his book The Secret Language of Cells: What Biological Conversation Tells Us About the Brain-Body Connection, the Future of Medicine and Life Itself.[ii] I'm Andrea Samadi, author and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, sports, and the workplace with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately, for improved results. In Today's Brain Fact Friday You Will Learn: ✔︎ How Brain Fog is Created ✔︎ How the Brain and Immune System Work Together ✔︎ How Cells Communicate with Each other ✔︎ How to Strengthen Our Brain-Mind-Body Connection by Understanding Our Brain State On our last Brain Fact Friday, episode #141, I talk about how meeting Dr. Lieff opened my eyes to the importance of keeping the cells in our body healthy for our future health, productivity, and results and that I had never thought about my health through this lens. His book explores the cellular conversation as a new way of understanding that our cells have constant, intelligent chatter between them, showing there is no separation of brain-body, mind-body or brain-immune and It got me thinking about neurogenesis, (how we create new cells in the brain) reminding me to take my Omega 3-DHA to increase Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, (which is the best way to produce new brain cells) and the ties to keeping our brain cells healthy for learning, memory and retention. But what else is there? What are some other ways that I can look at health, wellness and productivity at the cellular level? Which Leads us to This Week's Brain Fact Friday Have you ever wondered why we get brain fog, or have a harder time thinking when we are stressed? Dr. Jon Lieff shared with me why this happens, and I think it's important that everyone understands this function of our brain and body. Did you know that the brain and immune system work together? T-cells (an essential part of the immune system, a type of leukocyte or white blood cell) sends a message to the neurons (the cells in the brain and nervous system) to stop making memory cells (when you are stressed) and you get brain fog. Dr. Lieff reminded us in our interview that stress is “at the interface of brain function and inflammation” and that “T cells are essential for dealing with stress…Both brain and immune cells pick up perceptions of stress. Brief stress related to learning or the unexpected can be helpful in stimulating positive brain activity. However, chronic stress (where the body has no way to break from a stressor) can trigger damaging inflammation.”[iii] We have all heard that stress causes inflammation in the body, that “leads to a number of chronic health conditions”[iv] like cancer and viral infections and Dr. Lieff comes to the conclusion that “all processes in the human body, in all animals and plants, and in microbe communities as well, are based on conversations and group decision making among cells.”[v] One of the many fascinating parts of my interview with Dr. Lieff, that I have had many messages about, was where he explained that no one knew there were immune cells near the brain. Cerebral fluid (a colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord) he explained “is also for communication and that t-cells get into this fluid and send messages to neurons.”[vi] When there is an infection in our body, the immune cells send “a sick feeling” to our body signaling us to pay attention to what we are feeling and take a rest or break so that healing can take place. Have you ever felt that feeling? You are working and something feels off in your body? Stefanie Faye mentioned the concept of “interoception” (being able to perceive the sensations from inside the body in episode #39[vii] and Dr. Daniel Stickler mentioned it in on episode #96[viii] with an athlete's ability to read their body and not overtrain. Dr. Lieff shared that when everything is well within the body, “T cells signal to the brain that conditions are safe for normal activity” (page 35) but the minute there is an infection, or trauma, “the T cells change their messages to the brain to signal that the body is sick and the brain must slow down” until the t cells recognize that it is ok to return back to normal. We should be able to feel this shift in the body. This is a recent discovery that can serve us well to keep us operating at our highest levels possible. We must understand that our cells are smart, and that they communicate with each other, but this is just the beginning. What are some simple steps we can take to strengthen our brain? We will dive deeper into this next week with our interview with Dr. James Hardt[ix], who has worked with Tony Robbins, Michael Jackson, leaders of Microsoft, IBM and other high-powered executives to elevate states of intelligence and consciousness, but until then, here are my tips for keeping a healthy brain-body-immune system. HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR BRAIN-BODY-IMMUNE SYSTEM? UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS AND BRAIN STATE: If our brain and immune system are closely tied, it makes sense to me that we should understand something about how our brains work. Do you know the brain state you are in, how you operate, and how to switch between different brain states to improve your productivity? We have talked about the importance of switching between different networks in the brain to improve levels of creativity, with episode #48[x] on Brain Network Theory (bringing us to heightened perception with GAMMA brain waves, and Stefanie Faye just released an article that affirms “the more we start to notice the rhythms we have in our brain states, moods, relationships, and day to day functioning, the better we get at cultivating the right conditions ahead of time, in a preventative, systems-thinking and growth-oriented way.”[xi] Through the brain mapping she does, Faye believes that people who experience brain fog are operating with THETA BRAIN WAVES (4-8 HZ) which is slower than needed for higher levels of productivity experienced at the ALPHA (9-13 level). Dr. James Hardt, who will take us deeper into the power of changing our brain states to change our life, next week, reminds us that “the average person's brain state shows low ALPHA (where creativity exists) and high BETA (stress)” whether it's time urgency, financial stress, or health related, this type of stress we know leads to dis-ease in the body. I do look forward to sharing more on this topic next week, and diving deeper, as I think we have only just started to scratch the surface of how to reach these higher levels of thinking with our last interview with expert in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, Dr. Howard Rankin on “How Not to Think[xii]” and if we were to brain map ourselves, it would be very clear, that most of us do not think—or we think far less than we think we think. That's it for this week's Brain Fact Friday on understanding how the brain-body, mind-body and brain-immune system work together and I hope that you have taken away something useful to help you to understand how we get brain fog, vs mental clarity, with some thoughts on moving to new brain wave levels for improved results. The key to this week's brain fact is that switching brain states takes focused effort. We must first of all be aware of where we are, (Dr. Hardt thinks most of us are at the BETA STATE) before we can move to a new state. The only way I know of to move to the ALPHA STATE is through a state of wakeful relaxation that can be cultivated with a mindfulness/meditation practice, or from deep thinking that takes us into our non-conscious mind that World Renowned Neuroscientist Dr. Carolyn Leaf explains in our bonus interview on “Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess.[xiii] From the research I am doing on Dr. Hardt, I can see there are quicker and easier ways to reach these higher levels and I look forward to sharing them with you. If you would like to see Stefanie Faye's recent article on “3 Ways to Get Rid of Brain Fog and Increase Mental Clarity” I will link her article in the show notes. Will see you next week with Dr. James Hardt, and I do look forward to sharing with you the new workshops we are creating for schools and workplace, as we begin to implement these ideas into our classrooms and workplaces.

It is 2 Games really though, the Persistent Universe that aims to build a First Person MMO Space Sim that encompasses gameplay in ship & on ground, economy and pretty much anything else you can think of. It's built in the StarEngine (a modified Lumberyard Engine). You'll see massive Space Ships that you can fly with friends, land on planets, explore or whatever your way to whatever goal you choose. It's available to try in it's current Alpha State now, you can give feedback & influence the direction of the game BUT it is VERY ALPHA. Squadron 42 is the Single Player Campaign of Star Citizen & the Spiritual Successor of Wing Commander. The Idea is the game is immersive, cinematic, beautiful & seamless... NO LOADING SCREENS once in game. Both Games are currently in the Alpha of their development. I am suspecting to see something more mainstream for Star Citizen's PU by the end of 2022 with permanent progression, though it will be a while after that before the game is considered "feature complete" which would be closer to 2025 in my opinion. Squadron 42 will not be released before 2022. I am an Independent Content Creator & Star Citizen Fan. I am not paid by Cloud Imperium HOWEVER I am an Evocati Member and as such I am under an NDA for Closed Early Patch Tests of Star Citizen', known as the Evocati Test Flight (ETF).

Debunking Meditation Myths with Kanwal Jehan

Growthspire.co On the vitality feed we have Kanwal Jehan and she is the founder of GrowthSpire. Growthsprire is a holistic wellness education company that focuses on holistic healing, coaching, and inspiring transformation through self-love. Her services include meditation, breathework, holistic healing, transformational, and meditation coaching. I'm thrilled to have her here. She is such a beautiful person inside and out welcome. Kanwal. How are you today? I am wonderful. Thank you Caroline. For having me today. I'm so excited to be talking all things, holistic healing and meditation. I'm really, really excited to be here. Thank you for inviting me to speak and to have a wonderful discussion with you, on the vitality feed. Oh, it's my pleasure. Um, so there's a lot of questions out there and I think there's a lot of confusion out there. And I was hoping today we can kind of debunk some of the myths and the beliefs that people have about maybe meditation being so difficult and hopefully giving people a little inspiration to get this practice into their life. One of my initial factors for having you on the show was that all the people that I ever have studied, that I feel have been successful, not necessarily in business, but just successful in life, have all had that foundation. So it's really important to me. I do it every morning and I would love to get a little more clarification. There's a lot of questions out there. And one of them that I thought was relevant was how do you find the time to meditate? And there's there a specific time you should. That's a great question. Well, what is a great time to meditate or ,is there even time to meditate are some of the questions that a lot of people will have, and when they're really starting to, like, let's say you get to know about meditation and someone tells your care, meditation's relaxing is really good to reduce stress levels and you'll get excited. You're like, okay, I want to do this thing, but then you don't know how to get started. It's highly recommended that you do it in the morning, in the morning hours, right after you wake up. And if you have a yoga practice in your morning ritual , it's recommended to do it in those early morning hours. One of the teachers, um, this is Yogi and mystic that I follow Sadhguru. Uh, he highly recommends that in the morning times of that 6:00 AM 7:00 AM, but if you can't wake up for that, like that's okay. But if you wake up early anyway, why not do five 10 minutes to get, to see where, um, what state you're in when you make up. Because our mind, the minute you wake up, it starts rushing. It starts doing these things that it has been doing for so long. And we just don't know how to, uh, really calm it down. So you could wake up in chaos from the dreams that you have had from the nightmares that you have had, or from the things that you slept with. And so really there actually is no better. Like, like best or worst time to meditate. You can meditate at any time. Um, but highly recommended to do it in those early morning hours, because then it sets you up for your day in a very nice way, in a smooth way where you can feel, grounded. You can feel that sense of connecting to nature. That sense of being a little bit more integrated in yourself. It's better to do it at any time, then not do it at all , but I also do it in the morning in that alpha stage, as soon as my eyes open. It's the very first thing I do. I think it's a lot more calming because your brain, like you said, hasn't had a chance to rev up and start thinking about 8 million things that you need to do during the day. What positions would you say, I know I do mine in probably the most bizarre one out there , but is there a better position to meditate? So I think just traditionally, it has been recommended and it's beautiful to actually I sit in the cross-legged position, keeping your spine straight. So anyone who might not be able to sit in a cross-legged position and by cross-legged, I mean, that Lotus position that we see that so many, meditation or yoga practitioners do so beautifully. , if you can't do that, just keeping your spine street and keeping your chin a little bit down is the way to do it. So if you have. , sensations in the body or any injuries and you can't sit on the ground and it's extremely uncomfortable because of an injury or an accident. You can sit in a chair and keep your spine straight your feet on the floor. And that's super simple, but if you want to sit in the most traditional yoga posture and that often. Um, they'll all just all this teachers and the way monks do it, then, then to sit in the cross-legged position, and just going into that stillness and into that calmness. Yeah. I think if there's parents out there, if you have children, I think they call that the pretzel position. Oh, very cool. All right, what happens if you're in the middle of a meditation and you start to fall asleep, any suggestions? In the beginning of your practice, in your meditation journey, trying to get into it, just allow yourself the first couple of times to let that feeling sink in and just allow it to. Go and fall asleep if needed and see how that feels, where vs when you actually stay awake throughout the five or 10 or 15 minute meditation, and you'll see the difference that when you truly meditate, what we're actually trying to do is we're going inward. We're just listening to the thoughts, the feelings and the sensations, and we're being in the seat of the observer and the seat of the witness. So, if you fall asleep, you're not witnessing anything, you are falling asleep and that's also relaxing. But that doesn't actually show you what's happening within your mind within what's happening in your body and it just is happening as a result of the first couple of times because your body is relaxing. So what you want to do throughout your five to 10 minutes meditation, even the briefest ones, even two minutes is just to breathe in and out, breathe in and out. And what that does it, you bring your focus and awareness to the breath. And as you do that more, you actually don't fall asleep. Then you truly fall into this beautiful place of, um, just relaxation. And then you actually want to be there and you actually no longer want to fall asleep. That sounds very lovely. Does meditation actually improve your health? Absolutely. So meditation is known to raise your awareness. You know, raise your awareness levels and self-awareness, uh, it helps to bring you into the present moment. So imagine if you're thinking of things in the past and the future, you indulge in worry and stress and anxiety. And a lot of people fall into depression. Let's say you're in college and you're getting started or you're a founder of a company or a startup, right or they can entrepreneur and there's just a lot of stress. A lot of responsibilities are not just professional, but personal as well. What it's doing is it's just trying to bring you back into this present space and you can actually , become more aware. So it improves memory, it improves your concentration, your imagination, your creativity. That's how it's improving your health. It's increasing your patients and your tolerance levels. So imagine if you're on a go, go, go, go, go. And you don't know how to balance yourself or ground yourself. Um, How beautiful is it that meditation can increase your patient's levels and tolerance levels. And one of the biggest things that has been said, and scientifically proven, even it actually, uh, it helps you manage with stress reduction. So it builds the skills and this memory muscle, um, to reduce, um, stress and anxiety. So, what you're telling me, is that I need to meditate more, totally need to meditate more. I think I have an extend my time because patients and memory and stress, this all things, I have good stress and there's a difference. I need to change my morning habit a little bit. One of the other questions that I had was how do you deal with a lack of focus? Yeah. So lack of focus comes from when you are a little, all over the place, you have a lot of things on your plate. There's a lot of stuff happening and it can come from a place of that. Not being clear on what you want and what you need. So in a meditation, a what. In order to, you know, get the focus back or concentrate. What we do is we tap into the senses. So hearing listening, smelling, what does it feel like, tasting. So getting in touch with your senses, helps you to focus. When we first do meditations, even the first two, five minutes ones with any teachers, you will see that they get you to focus on different parts of your body. And that focus really also means raising a level of awareness. So when you actually start to focus on different parts of the body, you just hone in on that area. What it does is that then there is no way for you to have a lack of focus on anything or distracted. You are focused on your third eye. You're focused in your heart center. You're focused in your belly and you get to watch what is happening . If you're like a founder or an entrepreneur, or which a lot of us are, we can get into this state of procrastination and the state of like, Ooh, like I have to do more and more and more. And then you actually lose focus on the most prioritized items in your life. And in order to do that is to just concentrate on one thing at a time, whether that is, in your meditation when you go inwards or that is when you go outwards externally, your eyes are open and you're living the life that you're living. That is such good advice because being focused, you get so much more done and faster. That's it an interesting concept , when you focus through your meditation, you can bring that same discipline outside of that and utilize that in the rest of your life to behoove you as well. I love that. Can we do a little meditation? Would you mind? I would absolutely love, love to lead you all through a meditation. Okay. I will hand it over to you whenever you're ready. So when you're ready, what I'd love for you to do right now is to find a comfortable position, whether it is cross-legged or you're sitting on a chair, keep your spine straight your feet on the floor. And when you're ready, close your eyes and take a long, deep breath in, fill up your belly, fill up your lungs and fill up your chest. An exhale from the mouth, releasing everything you don't need. Fill up the belly again, inhale the lungs and the chest and exhale from the mouth. Let's do it one more time. Inhale through your nostrils, filling up the belly. The lungs and your chest taking in the air and exhaling through your mouth. Just taking a moment now to arrive here in this space, going inward, coming into this present moment. Breathing in, through the nose and breathing out . Our focus is simply on the breath. Breathing in through the nose and breathing out, take a few more moments as you just bring your focus and your awareness to your breath, breathing in and breathing out. Beautiful. Continue at your own pace. Remember there's nowhere to be, and there's nothing else to do. Right now, you're here in the present moment in your most internal sacred space, connecting with the most important thing, your breath. So focus on your breathing, breathe in and breathe out. In and out through the nostrils, beautiful, Bring your focus and awareness to your belly. And as you inhale, watch your belly rises. Then as you exhale, watch your belly faults inhale again and watch your belly is rising. The next Halen, watch your belly is falling to this for a few more moments. Good focus is on your belly. Your awareness is in your belly. Relax your belly, relax your internal organs, your liver, your kidney. Just relax. Breathe in and watch the rising to the belly and the falling, with every exhale as you do this. Your body is relaxing. And now just offering gratitude For this practice and when you're ready, you can open up your eyes, come back into the space That was very relaxing and refreshing. And I definitely learned things that , I don't think I've been doing, as clearly as I should with my breath work. We all focus on food. We focus on water. We focus on exercise. How long can you sustain yourself without breath? But food is days and water is also, you know, uh, such a long time, but we don't focus enough on breath, and it should be on the priority list, because like I said, we focus on all those other aspects, which obviously isn't as important to our bodies since we need breath first and foremost. So thank you so much. That was really cool. I always ask everybody my little signature question. If there's one thing that you can eliminate from the world, what would it be and why? For me, I care about the youth. And I care so much about feeding the children. And so we have, around the world, millions of children who are homeless and who live in poverty and who don't have, who don't have, you know, the basic necessities of life. And so for me, what's so important and so close to my heart is to get these children off the street and for them to be fed for them to have the education that they need and deserve . And so. Eliminate poverty, eliminate the hunger. What is important for me is if I could, do any through the efforts that I'm launching now and in the near future is to add on to this area, to get our children off the street and to give them homes, to give them food, give them shelter, give them education, gives them every single thing that they deserve, uh, because they're worthy and they're loving. I'm doing it already, but I'd love to do it on a much, much bigger scale and leave a huge impact. That that was beautiful. Um, couple of things with that, Tony Robbins, I know is huge into feeding people and he has a mass mission, and I know he's fed millions, on a personal proud parent moment here. I'm going to brag, my daughter, it was during, I'm not sure if it was hurricane Katrina. It was one of the hurricanes in the United States. She saw the news that was disturbing to her about all the people who needed food. And she asked if we could do a food drive little did I know what I was venturing into? Um, and I said, yes. Um, and it got very big. And in fact, she held the record for the Salvation Army for the single largest donation of food in their history. She was written up in the Atlanta. Journal Constitution , as well as the Washington Post. And I had her articles framed. It was really neat. But we made many trips. Filled my big suburban many times it was, it was really awesome. But I agree with you, that is such a bare necessity. Like breathing people don't think about it and we waste so much food. Yes. We're taking a lot for granted and like you had already. I want you to agree with you on how breath is taken for granted and how, how breath is so important. It's so vital to our living that it's so important. So consequential, and that if we were to focus on this every day in and out, we weren't actually see that we get to be grateful for a lot of things. Uh, and yeah. What, what a beautiful job like your daughter taking on this project and caring and wanting to make an impact at such a young age. Uh, so the future looks bright, not just for her, but for children, um, even younger than her. Show compassion! I love that. Where can our amazing listeners connect with you? And I will also include this information in the show notes. They can connect with me on my website, on Instagram, Facebook we're on YouTube and LinkedIn.

To expand on the ideas of indomitable self-confidence that we explored in the last episode, I will be explaining the importance of unconditional love and how it fits into the model of alignment. The alpha state we are reaching for is within your grasp and this is just another piece of the puzzle for you to get closer to your goals. That version of yourself that you know you want to attain, the one with confidence and stability, honesty and power, contains, without a doubt, elements of unconditional love. This love can be directed at oneself, but importantly as you will hear, is also a means to deal with other people in our lives. When we accept the parts that make up the model of alignment, and we begin to see that none of us are our reactions or emotions, our mistakes, and successes, then it becomes that much easier to approach external forces and particularly people, with unconditional love and understanding. In this way we are non-judgmental and it is just another element of cognitive mastery. Stay tuned for this amazing episode, brothers, as I talk about saying yes to what is, getting away from a fixation on demonstration, and liberating yourself from the beta conditioning that can hold back your greatest self!

We are entering into new territory on the podcast today, breaking down indomitable self-confidence! By taking control of the three pillars I lay out in this episode, you can access never-before-seen realms of power and agency in your life. Indomitable self-confidence leads to our next topic to be discussed, which is unconditional love, to be explored further as we go deeper into the subject. Stay tuned for that! The first pillar of indomitable self-confidence lies in our cognition. This is the story we tell ourselves and how our thoughts interact with the raw data of the world around us. As soon as we start being able to separate our thoughts from the inputs we receive and make a choice around how we think about things, we begin to tap into unlimited potential. Our feelings make up the second pillar, brothers. I want you to understand that self-confidence relates to the way we handle our emotions and indomitable self-confidence means the strength to handle any emotions that arise in us. It's okay to feel sad or angry or joyous, but when you face the array of emotions you experience with the knowledge that it is under your control, those emotions lose their ability to run your life. The final pillar of this idea of indomitable self-confidence is around your actions. I have spoken about actions many times before and today is no different, it is how you show up, set boundaries, and follow through on your intentions. By standing strong in these three pillars we access courage we may not have known we had!
