Silence

Silence…  It seems so easy, yet for some of us it is almost unattainable.  We are used to so much noise.  When all of a sudden, power goes down, we realize how quiet actually feels, if only for one moment.  There is so much man-made noise:  refrigerator, faucet, washing machine, etc., etc.  It is in our mind’s background, humming or dripping, but we’re so used to it, we do not even hear it.  It is also usually overpowered by blaring TV or music.  Some of us even fall asleep by TV.  This way, we can block all the noise that is in our heads:  recaps of the day, worries, what ifs, arguments.  Even if we would shut off all the appliances, we still would hear the endless chatter of our minds.

What if we would shut all that noise down?  Would that be possible? How that would feel?

The best way to do this is to go out into nature:  could be a park, by the lake, pond, the beach – anywhere away from the busy city life.  Leave all technology at home or in the car.  Once there, enjoy the moment:

1) Take the shoes off (just watch out for fire ants, if you’re in the south :-) ) and feel every blade of grass or grain of sand under your feet.

2) If worrying thought crosses your mind – observe it and let it go for now – this moment is yours – free.

3) Feel the sun or breeze on your skin or in your hair.

4) Breathe.

5) Close your eyes for a moment.  Then, open them and see every detail around you.

6) Try to pick up sense of smell – perhaps the blooming tree or flower nearby.

7) Listen – listen to the silence.  Listen all around you.

Feel the moment with all your senses.  Walk where your feelings tell you.  Walk and listen.

You just got re-connected with nature.  You got re-connected with essence of you.  Your head is all clear of junk and noise.  Silence… – Oh, so precious.

You feel totally refreshed and re-energized.  Your head is clear.  Once your mind is uncluttered, perhaps you can find a solution, an answer, get a brilliant idea.  Most importantly, you feel totally alive and ready for anything.

Silence is brilliant.  It is like an empty canvas ready to be filled with the brightest of colors.  In silence, we can find wisdom…
