The healing power of Silence

The Silence

How it lets you listen to yourself

There is a lot going on at the moment. The pandemic, the news, the zooms, the non stop internal conversations we have.

Amidst all this lifestyle noise, it’s very hard to hear ourselves, to listen to what our bodies and feelings are telling us. Sometimes, if we don’t stop and listen to ourselves, we will miss key signs of our bodies telling us something important. If we are feeling tired, lethargic, apathetic, stressed, anxious and so forth, these are all signs our body is telling us to stop and listen.

Just S.T.O.P.

Breathe.

L.I.S.T.E.N.

Breathe.

Turn the tv off, the radio, the podcast and listen to your breath and your heartbeat. Breathe in for 5 heart beats and breathe out for another 5 beats. Continue. Repeat. And Repeat. Until your body and mind are quiet and you can hear yourself. Stay here. Don’t go. Be comfortable with it. You owe it to your mind and body.
