Silence

Your senses perceive the world around them, and all the noise passes through them. The noise can be deafening, like a backhoe digging up earth; it can be irritating, like a fly which won’t stop buzzing around you; or it can be catchy, like your favorite melody. But regardless, it’s still just noise to your senses. When you add to that everything that your eyes see, everything that your nose smells and your mouth tastes, you get an enormous heap of all sorts of things crammed into a small space—your body. On top of all that, there’s your mind, which is like a radio that cannot stop tuning into multiple stations at once. It collects information, sorts it, sends it out, and then collects some more. And all of that is going on inside you.
That’s why silence is the remedy to save you from all that noise, a purifier which collects all the excess and carries it away. It opens up your horizons and expands your perspective.
But most importantly: it brings you peace because without that inner peace, your body risks overheating.
Relax every day for at least a few moments and enjoy the silence, total silence. Allow your soul, your mind, and every cell in your body to sink into the expanse which silence brings. Allow it to be your greatest teacher, then walk with it and see what it brings you, what is shows you, what direction it points you in. Your soul follows silence naturally; your body needs to learn it.
Then use the wisdom, stillness, and relaxation that silence gives you to understand the noise around you. But you’ll then be looking through different eyes, ones that are well-rested and fresh. You’ll be able to differentiate between noise that’s desirable for you and noise that you might want to stay away from.
And that’s all you need: to alternate between moments of silence and noise, allowing silence to teach you about noise because every further step will then be easier for you.
