When I was sick with cancer and on treatment I would use the Long Relax for total and healing relaxation, adding the Pain Control Technique to minimise the pain. The results were terrific. I was told I was a model patient at the hospital. I now use the techniques mostly on the road to have an uneventful journey and to be moving the traffic along: I set duration for my travel and using the techniques always find that I achieve my goal, arriving safely, relaxed and on time. I use the sleep technique whenever I'm restless to have good quality sleep. Also, I sometimes have to travel long distances to attend meetings so, when I know I'm going to have a very short night sleep I use the Long Relax to improve the quality of sleep in order to be alert whilst driving and during the meeting.

I had my first one to one appointment with Claire in 2015 to get me started in yoga. I needed help with flexibility, strengthening and was intimidated by the thought of joining a group and holding everyone back. The one to one sessions led me to now where I have been attending yoga once a week until COVID 19 and now twice a week online, all led by Claire. She can give you a very gentle start to ensure you can get started and will work at a pace that's best suited to where you are at that given time. She can keep growing your own ability right up to a very advanced level and lead you further than you ever thought was possible. I continue to grow with Claire's guidance and leadership and use her classes to manage stress and help my physical wellbeing also.

I went for a top up in the teeth of my last exam and fellow students thought I was mad as I needed all my spare time for studying. During the exam, the minute something wouldn't come into my head I used my Three Fingers Technique which is one of the Silva techniques which has never let me down.

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.

There was a discussion between myself and another person and when I tried to explain my point of view they totally dismissed it and didn't agree with me. That night I went to my level and I explained the situation to this person again, using the Mirror of the Mind Technique. The following day she told me that she now understood where I was coming from the previous day and understood what I was trying to say. I also use the three fingers technique to get parking spaces.
