The great silence defies verbal description. It reveals an unfathomable life and spiritual potential, makes it possible to understand the laws of nature and the patterns of human existence.
People can only have a general idea of what silence really is. But they can try to create the conditions for experiencing it in their souls.
Silence exists in all of us, and any person is capable of touching it. Even in all the noise and bustle, not calm and anxiety, you can hear your own silence. One has only to really want to.
Silence in the daily life of people
Human life is full of noise and bustle. Because of this, most people lose the ability to hear and observe the silence of their heart. Modern equipment, high technology, new discoveries and advances all prevent people from hearing and being in touch with their own inner silence, to put it mildly.
Some animals and people even die from the noise that accompanies their entire conscious and unconscious lives. It certainly affects the emotional state of people–they lose the ability to be patient, to understand, to concentrate, to relax.
So many factors in the world alienate people from their own silence. For many, silence has become an outcast. And the sign of success and modernity, the ability to chatter at ease and succeed in life have become extraneous sounds and noises.
Now it is not customary to pause during a conversation – it causes incomprehensible awkwardness and even embarrassment. Noise turns one into an indifferent, emotionless being, unable to concentrate and maintain harmony within oneself. The sounds of the modern world cause the strongest tension in people, who become frightened by even the briefest periods of silence and stillness. An unreasonable fear of the silence that previously caused harmony and happiness emerges.
Many people consciously try to avoid silence because it frightens them. When it fills their body, their soul, a kind of unreasonable threat appears. That is why many people apply such names as dead, oppressive, icy to silence. When there is absolute inner silence, excitement, limitations for one’s own self disappear, and this causes a sense of danger and discomfort.
It is for these reasons that people subconsciously banish silence from their lives and destroy the conditions for its occurrence, since Many of us perceive it as a completely forced, generated by human desire.
Finding Silence
Human thought is always in motion. It sets the continuous course of all life. What a person’s hearing, sight, sense of smell respond to is a consequence of past memory and experience. The perception of the human senses is influenced by upbringing, religious beliefs, public opinion education, the principles of education, the priorities of life instilled by parents in childhood.
All these things prevent us from accepting silence and letting it into our lives. Silence has the power to heal, for it is the embodiment of the essence of the Creator.
Nevertheless, there are many who wish to recreate the conditions of silence and find inner attunement with themselves – they attend courses, psychological seminars and trainings on how to find it. There is even a special museum in the world in which everyone can enjoy silence. Despite the brain’s efforts to block silence, these people find it, each in their own way.
Finding inner silence is always a return home, a return to one’s true self. The space of inner silence makes it possible to experience deeply one’s authentic nature as one with all being. Working with people I have discovered probably the fastest and most effective method of living one’s essence and gaining inner silence.
In my programs and I teach people holotropic breathing As well as breathing re-breathing. Together with each new breath we get closer to our essence and go far beyond the limits of the Self. If you have the desire and willingness to self-knowledge, if you are ready to find your inner silence, I am happy to welcome you and invite you to my programs and trainings.
