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".

During the course we were asked to focus on someone we really liked so I did so on my present wife whom I didn't really know that well but whom I felt drawn to. We then got to know each other better... and you now know the end of the story! It has turned out to be a most positive step in my life.

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.

It is over 30 years since I first took the Silva Method course and figured I had got value for money. Over the years since I have had experience of a fair few course facilitators in repeat sessions. I have found Claire Lombard to be an excellent and capable instructor of the Silva Method and I have also taken instruction in Yoga and French language from her with positive results.
