Funny how when we think of silence, we think the image of the forefinger in front of our mouths as to hush or quiet ourselves as we were shown by older people when we were little, a little scolding going along with that possibly. We all need to be able to have a few moments of silence within our daily lives to help calm us down and give us a few moments to clear our our thoughts. I challenge you to honor yourself and grant yourself a few moments of silence, pure undisturbed silence. Pay attention to where your mind goes, do you begin to start thinking again? Close your eyes, take a deep breath. How long can you take it? Do you begin to get restless immediately or do you enjoy it? Notice your awareness of your breath, the sounds around you, the way your body feels. What images come to you when you close your eyes? Silence is good for us....
