The Nurturing of Inner Silence in our everyday Life.
Inner silence is not formed by isolating oneself from society and living in complete silence. It starts with some little, deliberate steps. One of the most effective is meditation. Spending a few minutes a day sitting and watching the breath can bring about tremendous changes in the long run.
Silence can also be accessed in mindfulness in everyday activities. Engaging in the most basic tasks, walking, eating, listening, puts one in the present moment. This minimizes the noise of mind and enhances awareness.
It is also necessary to reduce the stimulus that is not necessary. To regain some balance, it is possible to reduce the amount of time spent on the screen, disable the notifications, and create the time of the conscious silence. Silence must not be looked upon as a deprivation, but a food.
Above all, it takes time to develop inner silence. The mind will resist at first. It is familiar with constant movement. However, it is through soft persistence that one comes to know and embrace silence.
Inner Noise in a Noisy Future.
The more the world gets noisy, the more the inner silence will be highly valued. The technology will keep on changing and the external distractions will increase. The ability to be as still as one can be in such a future will provide a profound benefit, but not in dominance, but in clarity, balance and humanity.
Silence of the soul can turn into a kind of silent protests against the culture of full stimulation. It helps us remember that we are not valued based on our productivity, visibility, or noise. It brings back the things that matter.
Silence can change the way we think, interact and live in education, leadership, healthcare, and personal life. It is not a flight out of the world, but an added level of coming into contact with the world.
Conclusion: Getting back to the Quiet Within.
The force of inner silence is in its simplicity and profundity. In a world where all is about presence, silence provides presence. Silence provides truth in a society where noise is encouraged. It helps us to reidentify with ourselves and heal ourselves emotionally, think and live with a sense of authenticity.
We should not learn inner silence, but remember it. Through the noises of the mind and the world there is a silent area that was always present. When we learn how to revert to it we recover our inner freedom.
Ultimately, perhaps the only answer to a world that is noisy is not to talk louder or move faster but to be silent, to be listening, understanding, and acting not out of fear but out of wisdom.
Pure light and infinite love be with us!
