The Art of Silence -

A Silent Meditation Cornerstones of Becoming Silent

 "There are times when silence has the loudest voice."

The exercises can be done any time during the day or night. Beginning in the morning before starting your workday and ending the day or upon retiring. Sunrise and sunsets are wonderful times to be silent. It doesn't matter when you do, but that you do and are mindful of it.

For practice listening to the silence within follow these simple steps.

Personal Time:

Take some deep cleansing breaths and notice your inhalations and exhalations. Take note of your jaw and pressure on your teeth. Notice sensations within your body and outside your body. It may help to do a checklist working up or down the body. This helps focus attention at the moment. When you're relaxed merely observe your thoughts.

Where is your attention?

What is your mind saying to you?

Just listen, only listen, do not respond, only observe.

The purpose of being silent is to not "interact with" the thoughts, but allow them to pass through
