the importance of silence
words create magic! they manifest what we have in our minds and hearts into the material world and get to others through the sense of hearing.
the more I expand my awareness around optimizing my energy I value silence as precious :)
i used to be the type of person who could not wait to fill the silence, always looking for what is next to say.
through self observation I learned that a lot of energy is spent when talking too much!
our ancestors used to have to write letters, use a payphone or ride a horse to visit a friend :) ha!
in the reality we exist here&now, we are constantly surrounded by each other, with a phone at our reach for instant texting and calls across the globe 24/7: silence is an art. words can be medicine or poison - you choose!
it is good to ask yourself before speaking…
What I am about to say…is it kind?is it true?is it necessary?will it harm anyone?will it improve upon the silence? one may have something to say that is true and kind but is it absolutely necessary?
the more quiet and steady the mind, the better one can hear the inner voice guiding from within.
