hi this video is about silver method and its most important tools [Music] hi my name is Stephen dobles and I am a silver method scientist I use the tools that Jose Silva discovered and explains in his books and in his courses and I test them to see if they actually work after all what is science if it isn't the application of similar principles to get the desired result the tools of the Silva method any profession any job has specific tools that are necessary in order to make that job or to create the environment that's important for the job to get done for instance I'm in a barber shop right now if I was a barber there's several tools I would need to do a good job so that my clients are pleased with the results number one is I have an apron around me to keep the hair off of me it also helps me to create a feeling of clarity and understanding for the clients to know that I'm the person cutting the hair and they're the client other tools I'll leave I'll need scissors I'll leave a comb and to get to the short hair to cut it really short I'm going to need a razor in order to keep my customer my clients safe and clean I also want to put an apron over it I'll also need a chair for them to sit in and mirrors so that they're able to see and see the result that they're getting the same is true for the Silva method Silva method and any other personal development program requires the use of specific Tools in order to fulfill and create that result which you desire so what are those most important necessary tools of the Silva method in order to get the desired results you want the first tool of the syllable method is meditation meditation is required in order to decrease our brainwave activity so that it's in the ideal place for creation that's personal creation abundance joy and ease in our lives meditation allows us to get into a calm relaxed confident peaceful state of mind and when we're in that mindset the rest of the tools that the Silph method gives us are much more easily applied and much more effective in the silver method we use a very simple form of meditation we call it Dynamic meditation where we actually Focus the mind on Dynamic activities while we're in the state of calm the benefits of that is that it uses both the left and the right brain so that they work in Harmony and you're able to focus your energies much easier one of the most important parts of that is because meditation often creates resistance for people because of their thoughts or traveling through their mind and they have difficulty calming those thoughts the silver method technique of meditation actually engages both sides of the Mind in order to comment in an easy and more effective way the second tool of the silver method is visualization and or imagination visualization and Imagination are slightly different visualization includes seeing visually so seeing mentally things that you already know or have seen so for instance if you would if you have flowers in your house close your eyes and you'll be able to recall what those flowers look like or if you would close your eyes you'd be able to recall what the living room of your house looks like what type of furniture is inside what the color of the wall is what looks which way the window looks what's outside the window overall you'll be able to recall that's what we call visualization second part of a tool visualization imagination is imagination imagination is when you create a mental picture of something brand new or different so for instance if I would ask you to visualize a zebra then immediately you'd be able to picture a zephyr in your mind with black and white stripes but then if I would say imagine that zebra is actually plaid then you have to combine the understanding that you have of a zebra with the understanding that you have of what plaid looks like and you put those two together I would say imagine a frog with polka dots or imagine a greenhouse imagine a purple carrot imagine a black banana these are all things you'd have to imagine you'd be using partly visualization using existing images that you already know and you'd be adding in imagination which is creating a new image based on the information that you already have number three is a technique that we call mental house cleaning mental house cleaning is a way to become aware of the thoughts that are going on in your mind why is it important to be aware of our thoughts because we have over sixty thousand thoughts a day that means every one and a half seconds during your day you have a new thought isn't that crazy that's just so many so in order to really focus your attention on anything that you want to create in your life it's important to be aware of your thoughts because the thoughts are the first step to creating the life that you desire if you want to create abundance then you want to focus on the thoughts that actually help you attract that abundance complaining for instance actually pushes abundance away instead you want to draw abundance and you want to focus on appreciation on love understanding on compassion these are the things which are important to actually attract that abundance so by focusing our thoughts on things that we want we actually bring them towards us if we're focusing on thoughts on things that we don't want we're actually bringing the things we don't want towards us so the process of mental health cleaning is a way of understanding discovering and then canceling and replacing those negative thoughts the thoughts which are disempowering us the thoughts which are not to our benefit and using those thoughts to then create new thoughts using that process of discovering our conscious thoughts discovering our unconscious thoughts canceling out those unconscious unwanted thoughts and replacing them with positive useful thoughts thoughts which take us in the direction that we want to go it's absolutely important that we use all three of these techniques in the silver method these are the three foundational techniques so this is Stephen dobus a silver method scientist and this video is about the silver method most important techniques if
