“Speech is silver, silence is gold”- this is what we have been taught since our childhood. However, we realize the importance of life as we grow up rather than when we are kid. It is not only an old saying by grandma but, scientifically proved also.
A few minutes of keeping silence can reduce the level of stress and strain to a great low.
Silence is a great stress buster, as it makes us aware of many things in life, which we usually overlook or never listen and see as they are obscured by everyday noise, pollution and commotion.
Silence has unseen power. The nightfall creeps silently and the day breaks without noise. The silent snowfall makes no sound and the light passes through a diamond making no noise it sparkles. But silence, as all other things, has other side of its picture also. While many of its uses are profitable there are few that can cause harm. The silent fall of snow can make a place beautiful. But too much of it can bring destruction. The water that evaporates silently to fall as rain is very useful for crops but too much of it can cause great destruction.
But silence is silence. So many times we have experienced a moment in life when we just run out of words and go... s i l e n t ???
Let me assist in recalling those silence...
The moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has just started... and you are standing on the door of the wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast...
... the moment after the HR manager has just called you and told you,"You are through! Congrats!"
... the moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyone that you cleared your exam and got a degree!!
You can go on remembering your "special" moments!
I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those moments.. as if it was "understood"... happiness, joy, pain.. all the feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those flash moments!
Its said... the best way to communicate is through "silence".
Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support. Non-cooperation... everything can be explained in silence.
Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song??
When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes on in his husky voice...
... Please forgive me. I cant stop loving you!
Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake looking at the roof of your room silently...
But you sure are 'thinking'... those moments of self-talk are the most important in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own hearts! Those promises... those decisions... those are the moments when we make our destinies!
Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is saying.. listen to its joy...listen to its pain.. listen to its fears.. listen to its desires..
Dont make it shut up and go off to sleep...
LISTEN TO THAT VOICE and ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS!
That voice alone can lead us to the abode of peace that our sleep lacks... peace that awaits!
Be in touch with your true self... be silent once a day, every day
