Golf was the reason I came to the Silva course. My game definitely improved. The unexpected surprise is freedom from the cloud of depression that hung over me for the past 15 years.

I wish to thank you for your wonderful yoga sessions. I love them mentally, physically and spiritually. I had an incident last week where I got locked into my sitting room and needed to get out of my fairly small window. So at first I was apprehensive and said I will just try and see how I go, and to my surprise without any difficulty I maneuvered my way out. I remember at the time consciously relaxing and breathing into the stretch and really checking that my body was comfortable and under no strain. I was so impressed with my own flexibility. I came out through the window in only moments. With no tension on my body anywhere. I was elated with my new flexibility and body awareness, Not bad I thought for my 50 years young!! With much gratitude for your time and teaching Claire.

I was in dropout prevention classes from second grade through the fifth grade. During the second semester of fifth grade I came to the Silva course. I scored high on the FCAT and all of my other tests. I am now in regular or advanced classes and doing very well.

"Thank you for a lovely experience during the weekend. As a result I had a super duper parent teacher meeting. I felt all interactions between myself and each set of parents were very fruitful. I wasn't worn out at the end of the night as I have felt before. The whole evening was more positive and I could see the parents blossoming with all the positive news and giving me back useful feedback. The school day has also become more productive. I really believe that even after using the phrase "You are really learning/concentrating/listening etc. better and better every day" for two days so far the atmosphere in the classroom has become more focused and attentive. Thank you so much again and I'll write again to let you both know how the memory pegs and three-finger technique works with the children". Follow-on success for Melissa..."I received brilliant news this morning. I have an interview this Saturday for a permanent job in Le Chéile-Educate Together school. I have wanted to work in this type of school for some time. So plenty of visualisation and 3 fingered technique until this Saturday. I can't wait to work there".

Using the Silva Method is not just a beautifully r elaxing way to be, it is much more than that. It helps you to remain positive, focused and healthy whatever happens. You will not become invincible but it will certainly give you the feeling that you are better equipped to deal with life, help yourself and even others in any situation (illnesses, decisions, crisis, etc.) `If there is one thing I always recommend to my friends for personal development it is to book the next Silva course.
