Sundays are for silent meditation, so less direction from me, and more of experiencing your own silent space.
Regular meditation introduces you to a lifelong friend, always present, offering unwavering support and endless depths to explore. This friend isn’t someone that you need to go out and meet; it’s you. The journey of self-discovery begins with embracing silence, a powerful tool for introspection and transformation.
Here are some beautiful thoughts on the transformative power of silence:
“Silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.” – Nicholas Sparks
“The only difference between meditation and ordinary social interaction is that the friend you’re gradually coming to know, is yourself”. – Mingyur Rinpoche
“True silence is the rest of the mind. It is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.” – William Penn
“Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.” – Indra Devi
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” – Rumi
Spending regular time in silence… slowly, over time, it lets everything that you are not fall away. Slowly, over time, you remember who you are. Slowly, over time, you become a deeper, bolder version of what you’ve really always been but kept hidden.
Embrace the silence, not out of fear, but out of curiosity and a desire to connect with your true self. Here are some mantras to guide your journey:
- In the quiet, I find myself.
- With each moment of stillness, I grow stronger and clearer.
- I am becoming a deeper, bolder version of myself.
Spending time in silence isn’t about shutting out the world; it’s about creating a space within ourselves where we can truly hear ourselves and connect with our inner wisdom.
Seek out the silence, again and again, and you’ll find your true power in YOU.
Have a beautiful Sunday!
