Silence

There is something powerful to be felt when surrounded by silence.


When we block out the everyday noise of car doors closing, keys jingling, phones ringing, and the ever present hum from technology as a whole, we are allowed to be face to face with our thoughts and emotions. The silence brings an opportunity to have a glimpse into our true Self.

For many, simply being quiet or still creates a state in which our fears and inner demons arise, almost suffocating us and forcing us back into the chaos in which we are taught to thrive in. But, it is in this moment of vulnerability and crisis that we truly evolve by overcoming that which shakes the very essence of our being.

Too long have we as humans become afraid of the healing and transforming experience of being lost in the silence. Some of our most profound and life altering revelations come from when we surrender not only to ourselves, but to the quiet, stillness of our souls.

Life unfolds to us in many, many ways. Messages only heard and appreciated from the sounds of trees rustling and the steady beating of our hearts. Please take time to enjoy the silence each and every day.
