The most important technique I learned in The Silva Method was creative visualization... I found that it was amazingly effective.

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.

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.

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.

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.
