”A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear.”

In a world that is constantly on speaker mode, or so it seems. Noice, opinions, judgments, the news. Look here, read this, like this, validate me, think this, believe this, be this. Be still. Be aware of what you consume. You can choose what information houses your brain.

However, I agree, it can be difficult to find moments of peace and rest when we’re constantly being bombarded with stimuli. But without the comfort of the silence we won’t find the answers we are looking for. You see, the answers you seek, already rest within. If you only took the time each day to simply sit with yourself, to enjoy your own precious company, you would eventually realise the wisdom that lies beneath all those outer, dense layers you have collected throughout the years.

I don’t mean that you can’t be inspired by others, and seek stimulation from the external. Of course you can! And you should. Inspiration and worldly experiences are amazing and make us connect with our fellow humans. Yet, there is a part of you that craves serenity. The more calm and peacefulness it gets to experience, the larger it will grow. And the larger it grows the more you will expand and merge with this life. And the more connected you are with life the more alive you will feel.

Don’t be afraid of the silence, instead engage with it with curiosity and know that it has something to say. The more silence you invite into your day, the more you will realise that the silence is neither still nor empty, in fact, it’s filled with life.
