In the Present

The power of silence

Growth takes place in a person by working at a deep inner level in a sustained atmosphere of silence. How can we hear our wise voice of intuition if we are always thinking, talking and distracted by outer events?

If we take time daily to experience physical stillness and to direct our attention inside, we can begin to find the peace, love, will and wisdom that exist as our essence. Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others... And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude."

Angeles Arrien, proudly said, "In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation, and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way."

Become silent.
