Nurturing Silence

Cultivate Inner Calmness

Silence is golden and just downright healthy and valuable. It’s amazing to realize how much time and energy is spent talking. You spend time thinking about what to say, wondering what reaction there will be and how to respond. Who knew communication could be such hard work? Silence conserves that energy and also creates a very calm and centered place in your being.

Many spiritual paths recommend practicing silence in order to go within and heighten your internal experience, bringing you into closer connection with the Source, the Universe, the Infinite. The results are powerful. When the talking ceases, a peaceful calm takes over and you really feel you can hear the sound current, the voice of the Divine. Your intuitive voice gets turned way up. Try it for a day – even if you don't do it absolutely perfectly, you will feel the benefits…and that’s worth talking about!
