Reasons to Practice Silence in Life:
Look around you closely and you will find that there is too much noise happening around you.
Sound of the TV, the screeching sound of the automobile horns or your inner voice talking to you louder than anyone else.
Noise, and especially noise over 30 decibels, is associated with high blood pressure, anxiety, and stress. Lots of people get out of bed, take a shower, have coffee and put on the news to start the cycle of stress for the day. Are you one among them?
Silence is like plugging in your phone… your mind needs to recharge too, and it does more recharging in silence than it does during sleep.
Silence and solitude allow the soul to hear from the heart through the spiritual ear. The heart knows and its ‘still small voice can only be heard in those moments of sacred alone time.
