The Silva Ultramind System

I found a satisfying and rewarding job

Quick summary

After healing from cancer and divorce, Marc returned to spirituality through Mindvalley and The Silva Method. Through small, intentional steps, he transformed his health, found rewarding work with children, and established a daily meditation practice that continues to guide his growth.

On being asked to share my personal transformation story, I must go a little back in time.

It was in the mid 80s, in Boulder, Colorado, that I firstly progressed from Catholicism to spirituality. With the tools I had learned back then, I returned to the East Coast, and Vermont, with enough self-assuredness as to attract a lovey woman who would become my wife.

Within the years of married life, and after bringing in two fabulous children into the world, I became less spiritual and more complacent. I made the big mistake in believing my simple life and "solid" marriage would just steadily flow on. It did not.

To be bold to say this, but I know most Mindvalley folks will understand: I attracted a nice bout of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in my right cheek. When I could not get explanations of its origin, such as skin cancer or consistent heartburn, I began to see it as a slap-in-the-face (cheek) wake up call that something was off. Luckily I did fully heal from the chemo and radiation, but within months my wife announced that we were over.

Within time I slowly recovered from the shock of this life change and returned to studying and learning the art and world of spirituality again. I came upon The Mindvalley Show with Vishen several years ago and have been absorbing the wisdom and knowledge ever since. I joined the Mindvalley membership less than a year ago and The Silva Ultramind System was my first quest.

I am doing my best to continue to make use of the fantastic tools within the Silva Method and to increase my manifesting and intuitive skills. I still have so much to learn and have realized that small increments of successes are easier for me to comprehend than "I will make a million dollars in a year" or "I will attract a beautiful, caring partner by 2024". All possible, I know, however, small increments:

"In which areas of your life have you noticed the biggest changes?"

-I learned new information about nutrition and health and returned to the weight that I was in high school, but with more muscle mass.

-After a change of work and loss of income over the summer I found a satisfying and rewarding job working with children, plus attracted the most cartoon caricature jobs in my career as an illustrator/entertainer:)

-I have been doing daily guided meditations from Mindvalley and other sources for 4 months now.

Thank you, Mindvalley! Marc Hughes Comment on photo: No, I'm not a bowler. No improvement there;)
