Silence

When was the last time you sat in silence and heard the sound of your breath and felt the stillness of your soul?
If you are like most people it's probably been a while.

The fact is we live in a busy, noisy world filled with the sounds of sirens, tv's, ring tones, iPods, radios and the chatter of our own thoughts. We know we need to slow down for our health and happiness and yet it often seems impossible. We have become so addicted to busyness, noise, "doing" and "achieving" that we have forgotten how to just "be" and "rest". We have forgotten how truly good and energising it feels to be still and silent. Many of us have heard the saying "Silence is golden" however many of us have not heard that Silence is also healthy and part of your plan for health.

If you're constantly exposed to the noise of life, you could be creating elevated levels of the hormone Cortisol. This may cause health problems such as high blood pressure, impaired mental performance and increased abdominal fat.

Silence can undo much of this and more. As a bonus you may also receive insights or discover the answers to pressing problems. Silence is more energizing than a double latte, cheaper than a can of Red Bull and more available than any fuel supply on the planet.

Make time each day to shut off the cell phone, turn off the computer, pause the iPod and enjoy the benefits that Silence brings to your body, mind and spirit - the opportunity to recharge your batteries-to help you refuel and renew.
A consistent Silent time can help bring you to an abundant and healthy life today.
