Full transcript
- 0:00so many people ask me what is the single
- 0:01most important piece of education or
- 0:03learning or wisdom that i ever got and
- 0:05for me it's this book the
- 0:08silver mind control method when i was 14
- 0:10years old i stumbled upon this book on
- 0:13my father's bookshelf
- 0:15i was a kid growing up in malaysia and i
- 0:17was a good student but this book opened
- 0:20me up to a whole different world of
- 0:23learning it opened me up to what
- 0:24scientists today call accessing altered
- 0:27states of consciousness
- 0:29and the silver method completely changed
- 0:32my life yes mindvalley publishes so many
- 0:35personal growth programs
- 0:37and almost all of these programs i have
- 0:39gone deep in but this was the first one
- 0:42this was the one that
- 0:44really shifted me and apparently 10
- 0:47million other people who ended up
- 0:49studying the work of jose silva jose
- 0:51silva passed away in 1999 but he left an
- 0:53incredible legacy of teaching people how
- 0:55to go deep into their mind and activate
- 0:58and use tools at the alpha theta and
- 1:01delta brainwave frequency tools that can
- 1:04completely transform their world from
- 1:07intuition to natural healing to
- 1:11visualizing your goals and seeing
- 1:13coincidences happen to move you towards
- 1:16your desired outcome and that was what
- 1:19dazzled me about silva my first big
- 1:21victory with silva was healing my skin
- 1:24growing up i had serious skin problems
- 1:27my mom would take me to a dermatologist
- 1:30just so i could have my skin treated and
- 1:32i felt ugly and i felt like an outcast i
- 1:36was the kid that they teased at school
- 1:39because of pimples now i remember
- 1:41reading in this book and it's it's
- 1:42somewhere in this book jose silva
- 1:44mentions that the skin is the human
- 1:46organ most
- 1:47susceptible to healing with your mind
- 1:50and so i took the advice in this book
- 1:52and following the techniques here in a
- 1:55period of five weeks i healed a skin
- 1:58disease that had plagued me for five
- 2:00years
- 2:01that was my first big victory and since
- 2:03then
- 2:04i've been able to activate with my mind
- 2:07things that
- 2:08are so
- 2:10so powerful it is crazy that this is not
- 2:13in every schooling system in the world
- 2:15and this is why i i was so honored when
- 2:18jose silva's daughter diana silva and
- 2:19the silva family asked me to be the new
- 2:22face of the silver method and to bring
- 2:24the silver method to mindvalley so let
- 2:26me show you what we created on
- 2:28mindvalley this is the new
- 2:30silver
- 2:31system designed on mindvalley you're
- 2:33watching it here on my apple tv
- 2:37but you know it's also available on your
- 2:39desktop if uh if you don't have an apple
- 2:41tv device and your iphone by the way
- 2:43you'll notice sometimes if you see me on
- 2:45stage my fingers are like this i'm
- 2:48holding it to my side very subtly but my
- 2:50fingers are like this this is a silver
- 2:52technique called the three fingers
- 2:53technique you silva teaches you to to
- 2:56train your brain so when you join your
- 2:58three fingers together like this you
- 3:00instantly activate alpha waves which
- 3:02puts puts you in a in a creative state
- 3:05so when i'm on stage i can almost
- 3:07channel information and i know what to
- 3:09say because i'm instantly going in alpha
- 3:11i've actually hooked my brain up to eeg
- 3:13machines and it's instantaneous my
- 3:15brainwave frequency immediately drops so
- 3:18when i'm thinking when i'm in a meeting
- 3:19you will see me suddenly do this with my
- 3:21finger often behind my back or by my
- 3:23side but it's really easy it's like a
- 3:25hypnotic trigger that puts you in a
- 3:28slightly more relaxed alpha brainwave
- 3:30frequency to induce creativity now
- 3:32speaking of creativity you'll also
- 3:33notice i write a lot of books i produce
- 3:35a lot of content i produce a lot of
- 3:36videos
- 3:38when i'm writing books when i'm
- 3:39producing content i'm able to use silver
- 3:42to go into these relaxed states alpha or
- 3:44theta in this case when i'm writing
- 3:46books sometimes i go into the theta
- 3:47level of mine and it creates this
- 3:49incredible fluidity of ideas
- 3:52it's some people call it intuition it's
- 3:55a lot more than that it's like your
- 3:57brain is a ferrari and i'm able to
- 4:00generate speeches books talks
- 4:03almost on the fly it's it's this
- 4:06magnificent ability to just pull
- 4:08together information and output it in
- 4:11the right way now let me show you how i
- 4:13start my day with silver this is um this
- 4:17is my this is my bedroom it's also where
- 4:19i meditate in the morning now when i
- 4:21meditate to silva i use the mindvalley
- 4:23ombana app all the silver audios and
- 4:26guided training techniques are in the
- 4:28app and what's really cool about this
- 4:29app is you can customize every silver
- 4:32track so you can take this projection to
- 4:34home exercise you don't have to
- 4:36understand what projection the home
- 4:37means if you're in the program you'll
- 4:39see how powerful this is but you can
- 4:41combine it with any
- 4:43any type of background sound from jose
- 4:45silva's original alpha and theta beats
- 4:47to
- 4:49more updated binaural beats or music so
- 4:52you customize your meditation experience
- 4:54it's actually really really really
- 4:57really cool
- 4:58so i sit in bed
- 5:01i would have ombana on my desktop table
- 5:05and i meditate cross leg to silver
- 5:08holding my fingers together like that
- 5:10and
- 5:11i start every day so as you guys know i
- 5:14invented a meditation called the six
- 5:16face
- 5:16i still use the six space the six space
- 5:18is my combination of
- 5:20everything out there but in phase four
- 5:23of the sixth space when you see your
- 5:25future that's when i apply silver and
- 5:28off and often after i do my regular six
- 5:30phase meditation if there's a problem or
- 5:32challenge in my life
- 5:34what i do is i use the silver mental
- 5:36screen technique to work on that
- 5:38challenge or problem silver teaches you
- 5:40a style of meditation where your hands
- 5:42are actually
- 5:43active so if you see me meditate my
- 5:45hands are moving like that but what i'm
- 5:47doing actually here is often healing
- 5:49working on a problem or working with
- 5:52energy it's really interesting to see
- 5:54someone meditate with silver
- 5:56i forgot to mention this this is my book
- 5:58of dreams i literally found this in a
- 5:59yoga store and i had to get it
- 6:02silva teaches you to remember your
- 6:03dreams and to find answers in your
- 6:06dreams so sometimes you might wake up in
- 6:07the middle of the night with a dream
- 6:09thought and i write it down you learn
- 6:11you learn a statement
- 6:13in silver
- 6:15which allows you to
- 6:17find answers in your sleep now this gets
- 6:19really interesting
- 6:21one of the most interesting states in
- 6:22the human mind is the delta frequency
- 6:24typically you go into this frequency
- 6:25when you're asleep most people are
- 6:26asleep at delta silva teaches you how to
- 6:29tap into delta for highly creative
- 6:32problem solving where the answers that
- 6:34you seek in life come to you through
- 6:36your dreams or true interesting
- 6:38coincidences you see
