Silence, healing. Heraclitus

“Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.” John Muir

Silence is the absence of sound or a period of time without noise and can be seen as a blessing or a curse. Currently the World Record in an anechoic chamber (sound proof room) is only 2 hrs.  Yet there is something quite magical and sacred to knowingly seek it.

Silence when found will rest of the mind. It is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.” William Penn

It is a source of great strength. Lao Tzu and also inspiration. Listen to it, it has so much to say. Rumi

So this week I invite to you proactively immerse yourself in nature, Through (its) portals of silence, the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you. Paramahansa Yogananda

Silence heals.

John Beaulieu, a leader in the field of sound, began his career in an anechoic chamber. After calming his mind he tuned into the sound of his breath, heart and eventually the hum of his nervous system. This revelation was the source of his life’s work.

In sound healing we believe that every moment of our life and every action is in harmony with the Universal Energy Field. Abraham Maslow, called it ‘cognition of being in the peak experiences’, others,  being ‘in the flow’.

 The starting point is silence. Yet, most people are perfectly afraid of it. EE Cummings

The anagram of silent is ‘listen’. And the first step in meditation is withdrawing the senses and coming to a still point.  Here your soul is at peace with your thoughts. Here wisdom awaits. BD Schiers Silence has much to say and is a source of great strength. Rumi and Lao Tsu

Try listening to the sounds around you one at a time until you listen to your own breath and heart to see for yourself that Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom. Francis Bacon
