Joe: Can you explain the steps of your Silva Training, how it works or what you take someone through in maybe a four day seminar?

Marjorie Dearmont: In the beginning we start with relaxation and to get mentally relaxed we talk about how we program ourselves in a very negative way. If you listen to other people or listen to yourself with the comments that we make, for example, if you do something that’s a little awkward. You might call yourself “such a dummie” or “I’m so stupid” or “I’m awkward” and then “I can’t do things” and all of the limitations that we give ourselves in our speech and the thoughts that we have. Someone said we had 60,000 thoughts a day and 80% of those are negative. Most of those we have thought before or something like that. If you start listening to yourself, and make it a focus in the very beginning to cancel out that kind of negative talking and to prevent other people’s negative speech and actions to record in our brain functioning that eliminates much of the stress.

We physically relax from head to toe, and that is something we continuously practice throughout the class. We have techniques for getting a good night’s sleep, which is very important. We know that your quality of sleep is the most important determinate of the length of your life that was a shock to me. Then things like developing your memory and concentration and stopping pain and bleeding and of course goal setting. The most powerful way to set your goals is at this level so that you internally agree with what you say you want to do.

There are many other very practical techniques we go through. The second part of a four-day seminar, there are two individual seminars together to make up a four-day immersion. The second part is developing that intuitive ability. It’s a process. By the time we get through, people are doing remote viewing so that they are able to solve problems at a distance and this may seem kind of out there but it has been proven by universities that this is something that we can detect something at a difference and affect it in a physical way from a distance. This is proven the fact, so this is something that we focus on particularly with healing capabilities for people that we know and care about.
