Live Quality
To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.
Let’s expand on silence, since the silence is as an inner state—one that nobody can take away from you—depends on what you’re willing to do to realize it.
1. Live close to nature’s rhythms and cycles, especially with regard to getting good sleep and going out into natural beauty on a regular basis.
2. Reduce external stressors, making a serious effort to live and work in a positive environment.
3. Make time every day to relax. Make time every day to play.
4. Let your brain experience the quiet inner state that is the gateway to higher consciousness. Meditation takes you on the inward path, but there are similar traditions and techniques of prayer, contemplation, self-reflection and Hatha Yoga.
5. Limit the toxicity of alcohol, tobacco and adulterated food. Favor a natural, organic diet whenever possible. Drink pure water; breathe pure air.
6. Dedicate your primary relationship to mutual happiness. Work together so that your partner’s happiness feels as fulfilling as your own.
7. Avoid the daily temptations of negativity, such as gossip, dwelling on bad news, venting our anger and impatience and blaming others.
8. Take responsibility for your own happiness.
9. Aim for silence, which is spiritual and devoid of ego.
10. Enjoy the lifelong project of building a self, because it is the prospect of a fulfilled self that brings satisfaction even in the face of resistance, obstacles and setbacks.
Despite the disappointments you’ve already experienced, silence is achievable beyond anything you’ve imagined. The secret is to realize that silence isn’t a mood, it’s the most natural way to feel, something we all knew as children. Life becomes more complex as we grow up, but that fact doesn’t take away our birthright. It just means that we must apply our awareness, getting past the obstacles that hide the underlying silence that is always there, waiting to be awakened.
Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than the silence.
Let Nandkishore share his experience of silence and how he practice:
I have experienced it a few times.. At times when I had to be silent by force, some times by choice and other times when it just occurred.
I felt the silence in different forms… When I chose to be silent… I shut my mouth…
When it occurred to me it shut my wandering thoughts… Gathered me up and I felt composed.. Felt calm..
Keeping mouth shut saved me from the situation…. When the mind experienced silence… I guess I must’ve saved myself from burning myself from inside…
However I would love to know more about the benefits of being silent.
