Sometimes it takes a moment of silence to hear the essential again. Because silence is not empty - it is full of answers. Answers that you can only find in YOUR silence. In it you recognise old things that you can now let go and new things that want to be born.
You seek YOU in many things: in challenge, in comparison with others, in your joy and your suffering. But you do not find yourself. Maybe it is the fear of encountering YoursELF REALLY that makes us mislead ourselves again and again. We prefer to fill our days with hectic, noise, actionism and distraction. You still have to do this and that quickly, and you never have time anyway. Silence is not desired in our achievement-oriented society - in fact it has become unbearable for many people.
A wise man once said that silence provides the background for the noises, so to speak, and noises always arise from silence. There must be a way to reverse this rule: every sound inevitably leads us into silence as it fades away. Try it out: Let gently fading sounds take you into your silence, into "just being". Give space to what is straight. Stay in your very own silence and listen. Mindful. Only through this inner silence, which you now consciously perceive, will you become aware of the silence outside.
Take every opportunity for inner reflection and mindful perception of the silence in and around you. You will be amazed.
