Gábor Domján
Gábor Domján has been teaching the Silva Method in Hungary for 18 years.
He studied English, Literature and General Linguistics at the university where he met his wife Kati. After graduating, Gábor did everything from teaching English, translating books, playing music, trying to sell his many inventions in order to feed his rapidly growing family of 6 children, presently raging from ages 17 to 27, and 2 grandchildren.
In 1989, he together with his wife Kati and brother László translated and published the book The Silva Mind Control Method by José Silva and Philip Miele. It was an instant and huge success.
Prior to translating the book Gábor and Kati took the Basic Lecture Series in London and later the Ultra Seminar with Dr Rosa Rivas. In 1990 they went through the Lecturer's Development Seminar in Laredo with José and Laura Silva, Carolyn Deal and Ken Coscia and he has been teaching the Silva Method ever since.
Gábor has taught approximately 200.000 Hungarian graduates but it's not the numbers that count for Gábor, it's the success stories. Be them big or small, the stories keep him going and loving what he does.
Gábor has also translated and published other valuable works such as Dr Rosa Rivas's CD on forgiveness ('Saber Perdonar') which is a very deep and thorough piece of work and the book The Field by Lynne McTaggart which he says "It is a superb scientific amendment on how and why some of the Silva techniques work". He also writes his own music and has a CD entitled Alpha and Theta Overture. The music is treated almost inaudibly with theta frequency and assists the listener in relaxing.
Silva International is honored to shine the spotlight on Gábor Domján for his dedication and years of service.
