RE: Shhhh… WHY SILENCE IS GOLDEN
Interesting. I've been thinking about this a good deal in the last few weeks. I remember life before Cell Phones and PC's. I had more time to reflect. Realized that I still have that option, just need to exercise it. I did a three day fast from talking once. It was powerful. Need to do that again. It is very reorienting.
3 days.., that's a lot of silence... :))
But very powerful, as you stated... I myself have only done 24 hrs at a time.., and that amount of silence -- blew my mind! Such an used tool, it should be incorporated into everyone's daily routine.
Thanks for the comment @coinqueen!
It was a lot of silence. It was profound. Actually, starting to talk again was uncomfortable and I learned how much of our conversations are simply due to the comfortableness of silence. Why is it so uncomfortable for us to be together and not talk non stop? Is quietness a sign of lack of connection? I don't think so. I think chattiness is a sign of insecurity. Anyway, great article.
I think being silent is a sign you are more connected.., and that insecurity to mentioned, doesn't exist, there are no uncomfortable silences -- just silence. Thanks @coinqueen
