SILENCE – A SHELTER OF ENERGY

[Guest guest]

SILENCE – A SHELTER OF ENERGY: Silence is often referred to in

terms of space: the immensity inside, the cave of the heart, the

oasis of quiet, the inner sanctuary, the sacred center of the

divine. Silence provides a way to periodically withdraw from the

world and be in contact with our deeper self and spirit. We must

make room for silence – literally. Find a place of physical silence

where we can sit quietly, away from disturbing demands, voices, and

sounds and sit there everyday. We should also incorporate minutes of

silence into our daily routine: observing one silent minute at the

desk before beginning the work, while sitting at a park bench during

lunch, in our car before starting the drive home, or after watching

the evening news. Silence is filled with positive energy. Our

spirits flourish in silence. Begin with at least five minutes

silence daily. Silence is rejuvenating. Keep focusing on the breath

to quiet intrusive thoughts. Increasingly, silence will become our

energy refuge. – Mary Ann Brussat
