In the pursuit of health and wellness it is important to make room in our lives for silence. By implementing a consistent practice of silence and mindful relaxation we are creating the best conditions for the observation of one's mental, physical, and spiritual nature. Silence is the absence of noise, concern and stillness. Carefully planned periods of silence allow us to put our physical and mental machine at rest. The knowledge gathered in these moments can give us all a more intimate connection to the truth. The truth about the world around us and most of all the truth about ourselves. Silence allows for introspection and intelligent self-analysis. As the knowledge that we gain about the inner self increases, so is enhanced our ability to make a distinction between the things that weaken our power and the things that bring us strength. The more we explore the power of silence, the more pleasure we find in the practice of self mastery. Each time we bring our mind and body to rest and observe silence we endow ourselves with power and poise. We are training ourselves to be an equal or a more powerful force than the obstacles that will inevitably arise in life. This attuned sense of awareness gives us the ability to purposefully curve your efforts toward being constructive rather than destructive to ourselves and the world.
Many of us develop unnecessary habits that are a constant drain on the body and mind. Sitting anxiously in a car with jaw clenched, tight grip upon the steering wheel, and shoulders hiked toward the ears is an all too common scenario. Reacting too intensely to the trivial moments in life is a waste of valuable life energy which can lead to the physical and mental impoverishment. With the practice of silence one cultivates an awareness of these nerve-destroying contractions and mental distractions. Learning to let go of these restores and returns us to our normal condition. Silence is a soothing influence on the nerves and increases our potential energy tremendously.
In silence we amplify the voice speaks softly to our hearts. In silence we let go of the anxiety of overwhelming ambitions and expectations, and come closer to the source of enduring inspiration. In silence we free ourselves of unnecessary tension. In the end the result is more self control, awareness and overall health.
Putting ourselves in this silent place requires patience and persistence but not much more than that. Take a few minutes daily to observe silence and mindful relaxation. Need help getting started? Click here for some quick relaxation exercises to try throughout the day.
