Silva Method (India) Kolkata

By: Burt Goldman
Explained for Indian Audience by Avadhut Das

Think of a problem-solving project that you are going to work on. Enter alpha level with the 3 to 1, 10 to 1 method. Deliberate on the topic with your mental counselors in your lab or with board members in the mental boardroom. After the meeting, imagine you are standing outside an auditorium. Get into the auditorium and take a seat at the center of the third row (from front).

Imagine that the curtain is closed and you are sitting comfortably.

Act 1.

Visualize the curtain opening. Let it open fully.

Once the curtain has opened, get up from your seat and walk up to the stage. Bring people on the stage who are involved in the problem as players in the drama. Imagine the scenery, the setting; bring in appropriate props. Now act out your problem. Feel / experience the scenario happening.

After going through the scene, walk back to your seat in the third row center. Now visualize the curtain closing. When the curtain is closed, mentally project a huge red "NO PARKING" x sign on the curtain and mentally say, “I now release any past feelings that hold me to that scene. I am free.” Sense those feelings departing from you, and note how you feel when you are rid of them.

During the second act you are going to set the pattern to make the way easier for yourself. Most successes are pre-set patterns. The more you do something, the easier it becomes. Your goal in the second act is to remove all limitations from you so that you can go beyond your normal abilities, and most of all to set the pattern for success. During the second act of 'Center Stage' you will use an alter ego to smooth the path for you.

Think for a moment: if you could choose any personality, living or not, real or fictional, to represent you in a play/drama-story about your life, whom would you choose? This person will be your alter ego and will act out the solution to your problem during Act II of 'Center Stage.'

You have already determined the positive end result of your program; during Act II you will remain in the third row center while your alter ego acts out the scene. You are the director as well as the author, and you may mentally change the action at any time.

Act 2.

The curtain opens. Your alter ego is playing your role. You begin the action. Visualize your alter ego being successful at whatever you are programming for. See the action. For example, if you’re programming for a new job, see your alter ego in the new job, sitting at your desk or performing your duties on a stage set to represent your desired work environment.

Have the artists act out all of the activities of your goal accomplished. Now bring in a target date: hear a voice saying, “This has happened by [target date].” After setting the date, close the curtain. Mentally write on the curtain the word 'BETTER', and mentally state, “This is the way I want it to be.”

Now that the pattern has been set, the only thing remaining is to do it yourself, and that is when 'Center Stage' Act 3 comes in. During Act 3 you will play out the scene in exactly the same way as your alter ego did. The pattern has been set. You bring in the same date. This time, however, you will project yourself into the scene and you will act out the positive end result of your program accomplished.

Act 3.

The curtain opens. You walk up to the stage and act out the solution to your problem in the same manner as your alter ego did in Act 2. Bring in the same target date. Feel the action. Hear what you would hear. Say would say. Do what you would do. Feel the touch of what you would touch. Mentally be there. Do vivid visualization. After acting out the positive end result with yourself playing the starring role, walk back to your seat in the third row center. Watch the curtain close. Now mentally write on the curtain, a big: "BETTER AND BETTER". Mentally state, “This is the way it will be, this is the way IT IS.”

This is the 'Center Stage' technique.

We recommend doing 'Center Stage' three times for each one of your goals. Run through 'Center Stage' once each day for three consecutive days.

On the first day perform Acts 1, 2, and 3; at the same time on the second day, do only Acts 2 and 3; and at the same time on the third day, perform only Act 3.

NOTE: Act 1 is visualized only once for each problem. We want to concentrate on the solution.

Wishing you -- better and better! :) Do let us know your success. Take care.
