What Is the Silva Method — and What Happens in a Class?
The Silva Method is a mind-training system developed by Jose Silva that teaches you to consciously enter the Alpha state — a relaxed-but-alert brainwave state most people only touch briefly while falling asleep. In a Silva Method class, you're guided step by step through techniques to reach that state on demand, then use it to reduce stress, sharpen focus and intuition, and work toward specific goals through visualization.
All of our classes are taught live and in person by Certified Silva Method Instructor Amy Schneider, in Atlanta and Western North Carolina — not a video course or app. Each course below builds on the same core Alpha-state training, with a different focus: Life & Intuition (the foundational 4-day immersion), Mastery, Manifesting, and Love Yourself, Heal Your Life. Most students start with Life & Intuition and move on from there.
The Silva Method has been taught this way for over 55 years — the techniques haven't changed because they still work.
