Imagine how that will affect your career – when you’re making the right business decisions, and choosing the most trustworthy partners. Imagine being able to tune in to exactly what your partner is feeling, and how that brings the two of you even closer. Imagine being able to rely on a strong “inner voice” that gives you confident ideas and answers to help you overcome challenges. This is what the Silva Intuition System promises. FYI: I have been a student and an active practitioner of these methods.
In next week’s Business901 podcast, I have the pleasure of interviewing long time trainer of the Silva Methods, Marjorie Dearmont. In the podcast we discussed the Silva Intuition System which is part of the Jose Silva’s overall training. Jose Silva, I believe along with many others, was primarily responsibly in bringing meditation to the Western World. An excerpt from the podcast:
Joe: Could you start out and just introduce the Silva Technique and maybe how it compares to Meditation, NLP or other techniques?
Marjorie: Yes, the Silva method is unique in that we operate in meditation at the Alpha brainwave frequency. Many of the meditations take you into a quiet state where you still your mind and maybe just right at the edge of sleep. But the Silva method focuses on gaining control of the Alpha level, which is a little faster brainwave frequency. At that level, we can be mentally active and that’s what makes it so unique because we can do the programming and many techniques and develop our intuitive abilities at that level.
Joe: Well, what are the different levels of consciousness and the characteristics of each?
Marjorie: When we’re first born we are operating out of more intuitive abilities, instinctive behavior, and that’s between 0 and 5 dominant brainwave frequencies. At about 4 years old we develop to the point where we are operating at the point of maybe the Theta brainwave frequency, which is between 4 and 7 cycles per second. The important things about the two levels is that a child is taking in information and storing it away and creating what we term as programming that they operate out of, most of us, for the rest of our life. Between 7 and 14 years of age, we are dominantly operating at the Alpha brainwave frequency which is this intuitive and creative level of functioning and that is the dominant level, which is very important in our development. Beyond 14 years of age, we are developing more of the Beta brainwave frequency, which is the logical reasoning capability. It is said that a child or a person doesn’t fully develop until about 25 years of age.
Those are the different levels and the dominant brainwave frequency of the Beta level is what most of us operate out of because we are taught to be logical and reasonable and not depend on our intuitive abilities. Our goal is to integrate the use of the Beta and Alpha brainwave frequencies so that we can be more creative in solving our problems and use more of our intuitive abilities.
Joe: So at any age level, can I flip-flop between Alpha and Beta, Delta and Theta or can I go all the way back to Delta?
Marjorie: We go to Delta primarily in our sleep and then at death. I don’t know that there’s been anyone who has been recorded as being active at the Delta level, the slowest brain wave frequency, but the Theta level is very important because that is where a lot of the programming of limiting beliefs resides. We have a little bit of time in the seminar, my four day seminar, to practice going into that level so that you can create more of a connection and use them in a more integrated way. So yes, you do go into and out of those levels constantly with your focus.
Whether you are an advocate of meditation or not this podcast offers a great insight on developing and framing your perceptions for leading a positive life. I encourage you to review the information on Silva Intuition System.
