Listen to the silence

Happy Friday!!!!!!  

Silence, what is that? 

We are hearing something all the time, and have even trained ourselves to hear nuance in noises.  

Silence is golden;  

It's true, we don't even realize that we are being assaulted until we turn it all off. Like the time the power failed, and we were forcibly unplugged.   Noise and sound is a vibration, even when we are not hearing it, our bodies are feeling it.   

Anyone who has retreated to silence, and felt the peaceful bliss of nothingness, you can't help but emit a sigh....ahhhhhh...  

Peace and quiet feels good.

Listening requires energy. 

Have no expectation.  At first, the mind will race, you may even fall asleep. (set a timer) but eventually you will be still.

It is then, that the powerful whisper of the higher self can be heard.

Patiently waiting for us to grow enough to come and see where it lives..

  Somewhere in your weekend, turn it off, unplug it, sit or lay down, plug your ears and open your self to silence.  

Here is the thought for the day;  

 Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, "Only let the moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the surface of your being.
