Get Better Grades With the Silva Life System's Three Finger Technique

The Silva Life System is a revolutionary program that will teach you to slow down your brain waves to the alpha level-the brain frequency associated with meditation-at will, in a short amount of time. Slowing your brain's rhythm to the alpha level is called "going to level", and it involves closing your eyes and following the steps taught in the Silva Life System. One of the many benefits of this method is that it can help you to get better grades in school, college, licensing exams, and so on, as is explained below.

The "three finger technique" is a trigger mechanism taught in the Silva Life System so that you can use the benefits of thinking at the alpha level when it's not feasible to go to level using the standard method. That is, it will allow you to enter the alpha level with your eyes open. This technique is especially useful in improving communication with others, recalling information, increasing focus and concentration, and increasing creativity. Basically, you're conditioned, while at level, so that any time you bring together the thumb and the first two fingers of either hand, or both, you will function at the alpha state. One of the best uses of the "three finger technique" is for students who are preparing to take a test.

Better results can be achieved with the three finger technique if you program yourself for a specific desired result. For example, if you're going to attend a lecture and you would like to be at the alpha level during the lecture for better retention, program yourself while at alpha before the lecture and tell yourself that when you put your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand together during the lecture, you will enter the alpha level and be better able to focus and listen attentively to the lecturer. You can do the same thing before reading a book that contains information that is important to you and that you would like to be able to easily recall at a later time.

For example, if you're going to study for an exam, enter the alpha level using the standard method and tell yourself that you're going to count from one to three, at which point you will open your eyes and read the textbook in front of you with superior concentration and understanding. Mention the name of the textbook that you're about to read, the subject matter, and the author. When you're done reading the text, enter level once again and tell yourself that whenever you put together your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand, you will have perfect recall of the text that you just read. During the test you put your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand together and proceed to answer your test questions.

In addition to the three finger technique, the relaxation exercises taught by the Silva Life System will help you to reduce any "test anxiety" and will help you to remain relaxed while studying for the test and while taking the actual exam. Also, repeating positive affirmations and using creative visualization to "see" yourself doing well on the test--two other techniques taught in the Silva Life System--are both beneficial and will help you to do better on your exam.
