AN EMPOWERING CELEBRATION:
THE WORLDS BIGGEST SILVA CONVENTION AND PROGRAMMING FOR A BETTER WORLD IN AUGUST IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY By Laszlo Domjan MD, PhD
We started to teach the Silva Method in Hungary a very beautiful country with 10 million inhabitants in the geometric center of Europe in 1990. We have almost 200,000 Silva graduates by now and our 4 day Silva courses are still very popular drawing with hundreds of new participants each time. On 16/August/2008 we will have a convention and an evening ball for Silva graduates. Since the rst part of the convention will be in English (with Hungarian translation) you can join it and then participate in tourist programs. Budapest is considered to be the most beautiful capital of Europe by most tourists. The program features three key guest speakers: Dr. Edgar Mitchell astronaut and founder of the Institute for Noetic Sciences; Laura Silva, leader of Silva International; and Dr. Rosa A. Rivas Mexican Silva lecturer. We expect 8000 participants for the convention! At noon (between 12.40 and 13.10, Hungarian time) we will program for a better world. If you cant come to Budapest you can still download this meditation in English (from May) by clicking on www.szebbeletert.hu. Youll feel the huge mental energy of the many Silva graduates being at level simultaneously! For information contact Laszlo Domjn at jobban@inext.hu. We are looking forward to meeting you in Budapest in August, and to inspire you I send along a few Hungarian success stories. (There are many fantastic success stories; however, I send you ordinary ones because they are more common.) HUNGARIAN SUCCESS STORIES I used the three ngers probably more this year than any other technique, and most often with success particularly in nding well stored or lost objects. The success of nding my gold necklace made me the happiest. I have practiced to the point where I quickly tire of searching fruitlessly and just think to myself, Out with that three nger technique, and then I automatically head or look toward where the sought object is hidden. -- By Ms. Erzsbet O. mentally, telling it to nd another place to be, like out in the garden. One week later, the scheduled operation date arrived. After doing an ultrasound examination, my doctor said he couldnt even nd where the cyst had been. With experimental curiosity I started sending mental messages to my husband. He is a German man and a lumberjack by trade. Where we live in the countryside men do not usually help with housework. At alpha several times I pictured my 200 pounds forest bear husband wearing my little apron while he was washing the dishes. Three days later he murmured the following to me: You look so tired, dear. Today, Ill wash the dishes. We have been married for eight years and that was the rst time (but hopefully not the last) when I saw my husband diligently scrubbing away. -- By Ms. Erika S.
In February of 1993 I started programming to meet the man of my dreams. We did meet in August and both of us feel that we were created for each other, and that neither of us had been this happy with anyone before. I was also programming to nd a satisfying job during that time. The day I met my new boyfriend was the same day I had an exciting job interview as well. It felt fantastic nding out that I had been chosen from 40 applicants. I feel my life to be owing much more dynamically since taking the course. I am full of life, full of energy and charged by the desire to live happily and to help others be happy as well. -- By X.Y.
I traveled from Germany to Hungary to take the course. I had a cyst on my left side and the doctors wanted to operate. I used the mirror of the mind technique. I decorated my white framed mirror with red roses because they are my favorite ower. Every day I imagined the cyst getting smaller and smaller. I even talked to it

Partly out of curiosity and partly to help solve some problems, I took the course at the end of 1992. (I now know it was the best decision of my life.) At the time I was facing having a gynecological operation and my doctor told me that, without it, I could not expect to have children. Taking your advice, I used the glass of water technique for guidance in making the right decision. I was struck by a strong prodding to turn to another doctor. By chance I met the chief surgeon of a hospital in Budapest, who turned me to a colleague of his, a gynecologist, who happened to be experienced in articial insemination. My new doctor reviewed my earlier medical records and advised against having the operation. Of course, in the meanwhile, I was diligently programming daily to heal myself. At level, I imagined my uterine tubes as being passable and giving birth to a healthy baby.. I got pregnant two months later! Ive been carrying my long awaited baby under my heart for 16 weeks now and my joy knows no bounds! -- By Mrs. Eva B. Horvath

A SILVA METHOD SUCCESS STORY TO CELEBRATE: THE DON INGRAM STORY By Nelda Sheets (continued...)
Soon after this success, Don wanted to learn to paint. He knew I taught art to students from primary grades up through high school, and he wanted to learn too. Again I went to level and asked for guidance. My perceived challenge was the many physical controls that are needed to use a brush for oil painting. I thought it was too complicated for Don at this time. So, back to level! At level, the intuitive voice in my head said, Teach Donnie to watercolor by holding the brush upright as he does a pencil. He can move his arm over to the water, then to the watercolor pans and then over the paper. I gave him the assignment of mentally rehearsing this process and the next week I took some watercolor supplies. We had a great afternoon of painting. His rst painting was a pretty tree that lled the page. As I write this chapter, Don is celebrating his 45th birthday and is a remarkable young man. If you ever want a point of reference for a beautiful spirit, attune to Donnie Ingram. From Chapter 15 of SILVA STORIES by Nelda Sheets COMMENT: I taught the entire Silva Method to Donnie. I believe that every technique has value. In Donnies sessions I emphasized Relaxation, Special Use of Ideal Place of Relaxation, the Mirror of Mind and Mental Rehearsal -(from the Graduate Seminar).
