37-Silence is powerful and it can bring us into a state of mindfulness

Let’s take a pause for silence

Silence... the lack of noise, the lack of chaos and loudness.

Now when I talk about silence, I'm definitely not talking about external noise.

Life has got busy as less connected.

It seems that we've gotten louder and louder.

When we can become mindful and present, we can find a bit of silence and stillness.

This is when we notice that there are spaces between our thoughts.

When there is a sense of calmness and stillness, it almost feels beyond spaciousness. It feels open and intense, yet peaceful.

It also helps to make our minds feel more at ease.

Plus it gives us a reprieve from our busy day.

So how do you go about finding this silence?

Now some people have a hard time quieting their minds down or it makes them feel better having all that noise.

Some of it is learned behavior and sometimes it's a sensory issue.

But we can find our own version of silence within a busy world that can bring us some peace.

Personally, I need to have the external world quiet so I can just sit and listen.

You can do this too.

Connect with your inner stillness.

Instead, you're allowing thoughts to come and go, and the more you do this, the more space you'll find between these thoughts and the more silence you will perceive.

So do tell me.

How do you quiet your busy mind?

Take a deep breath in and exhale

So, before I go, listen closely and remember this ONE one thing.

Your future is a thought, your past has passed, but your now is always here.

Be mindful-one minute at a time.

Hugs, Cheryl
