You know, people sometimes ask me, what is my favorite style of meditation? Is it Chinese? Is it a meditation that originated from India? Is it Christian Gnostic meditation? And I always say, my favorite meditation is Tex Mex. Much like guacamole or Chipotle, my favorite style of meditation is literally Tex Mex meditation. Let me explain. See this book, the Silver Mind Control Method by Jose Silva. This is what got me into meditation. Jose Silva lived in Laredo, Texas, on the Texas Mexican border. And it was there, in Laredo, a border town in Texas, that the Silva Method emerged. Jose Silva went on to sell 12 million copies of this book. There have been close to 6 million Silva graduates around the world. And the Silver Method, in my opinion, is one of the most powerful meditation programs out there. Now, I want to tell you about this sign, because this sign hangs in my wall, and it's a direct quote by Jose Silva. Every day, in every way, I'm getting better, better and better. Now Mindvalley publishes so many of the world's top personal growth programs, but everything we do started with the Silver Method. This was the first program I studied. It was the first program I got certified to teach. It was the first program we published on mindvalley. It is that. And let me tell you why I love this Tex Mex approach to meditation. When I was 14 years old, I discovered this book. My dad passed it on to me. This book changed my life. It showed me that there was so much more going on inside our heads, that there was this whole realm of being human that schools never bothered to teach us. It was about going within and using the tools that the Silva Method had created to help you tap into altered states of mind. The alpha frequency of brain waves, the theta frequency of brain waves, and even the delta frequency. And when you're in these altered states, there are so many abilities that you can bring out. You can accelerate bodily healing. You can visualize your goals. You can reprogram behaviors and attitudes. And so, from the age of 14, I started practicing the Silva Method. And it shaped my life. So much so that after I left Silicon Valley, when I started mindvalley. Mindvalley was actually started because I was so in love with Silva. Jose Silva had passed away in 1999. I reached out to his family, and I got permission to build a website to sell silver CDs. Silver CDs that guided you into these altered states of mind. That's really how mindvalley began. So the Silver Method was America's first personal growth program. It was also the program that gave birth to mindvalley. That shaped my. I went on to become a Silva instructor. I was teaching classes for five years across the world. And in 2016, Silva came fully into Mindvalley. Jose's children asked me to take their father's legacy and create an updated program for the world. And to be the face of this program. I'm honored to have been asked to be the face of Silva. And our new program is called Silva ultramind. So I created this free masterclass. It's. It's about an hour plus of content, but it's really, really, really deep. And what you're gonna learn in this masterclass goes way beyond what Jose Silva wrote in 1977. In around 1995, he updated his work shortly before he died. He died in 1999. And his updated work is called Silva Ultramind. This masterclass will teach you principles from the Silva Method and Silver ultramind and show you how to tap into altered states in a safe, easy, effective way. To do everything from accelerate healing to improving your rate of synchronicity and coincidences in your life to mental reprogramming. This means being able to deal with shadows with negative beliefs, being able to program new identities and new beliefs in your mind the way you program a computer. So if you find these ideas interesting, check out the masterclass. It was our biggest masterclass of last year and I just recently reshop the entire thing to update it once again for this year. And if you have studied the Silver Method or if this quote, every day, in every way, I get better, better and better resonates with you, go ahead and leave a comment. Tell me about your Silver experience. Have you taken silver on Mindvalley? Did you perhaps take a class in the 80s or 70s? I would love to. It.
