The Healing Power of Silence

[Hazel]

Silence can be uncomfortable yet transformative. Have you practiced intentional silence, through retreats, meditation, or quiet walks? How did it affect your inner peace or ability to focus?

I never have tried any of the above, but I do like silence from time to time. There has been times where I would just stand in my home, in peace and quiet and just think. I actually like having noise when I go to bed, for example, I turn on my fan every night, even if it's cold outside. I like having noise when I go to sleep, as I don't like pure silence when I go to bed.

I have practiced it and it feels great. I learned how silence can help you fix your mental health issues and experience happiness from Mahatma Gandhi. It is says Gandhi used to remain silent every Monday. he lived like a hermit so it was possible for him but for most of us, remaining silent every week for the entire day is not possible.

Honestly, I enjoy silence too, but I do it in moderation. If it’s too quiet, I start getting restless, like my brain won’t just shut down. I’ll usually put some music on to deal with this. But sometimes just sitting there in peace feels pretty good.
