The Ultimate Luxury Of Being Silent

People who live or work in very noisy places, who sleep listening to the noise or unstoppable bustle of the city, are more vulnerable to suffering certain health problems

Problems with high stress, anxiety …after years and years living with a constant lack of peace and quiet, we keep jumping from one stimulus to another.

As Buddhism says:

“Noise and agitation take us away from ourselves”

Who actually makes time to get to know oneself? Do you give yourself a few minutes of meditation a day to calm the mind, relax and deal with the thoughts we try to ignore?. We constantly allow these harmful and insidious daily thoughts intrude in our mind causing discomfort.

Embrace And Enjoy The Awkward Silence

Let’s turn off the TV and open a book. Let’s exercise in a park without wearing headphones on our ears. In our daily life we are subjected to constant noise.

Are we afraid to connect with ourselves and with the world around us? What are we running from?

Being silent is much more than only practicing meditation or emptying your mind . Actually, it’s more about enjoying the present. It’s not necessary to do great things to embrace the silence and be happy with it. Just savoring a meal, appreciating its flavors, enjoying the sound of the birds when we walk through nature…

It’s more about living mindfully.

Do We Feel Lonely With Silence?

Do we switch on and listen to the radio immediately when we are alone? Do we turn on the TV, even if we are not watching, cause we can’t bear the pressure of noise absence?

The truth is, achieving that comfortable peace and silence and actually enjoy it…is not an easy task. However, we should start by introducing a little of it into our routine. With time and good practice, our mind and body will eventually relax, freeing ourselves from worries that can be a cluster of problems and tensions caused by external noise.

“Some find the silence unbearable because they have too much noise within themselves” — Robert Fripp

It would never have occurred to us that being silent could become a luxury. Something only enjoyed by a few people.

We are not fully aware of the dimension of this problem. We seek noise even when we have the opportunity to get away from it. Should we ask ourselves what reason is there, hiding behind curtains, to be so afraid of silence. Do we feel lonely if there is absolute silence? Are we afraid of ourselves?
