And silence is my way of finding balance. With my always busy brain, I needed to seek ways to find stillness and silence. It’s in nature, it’s in my breath and also in yoga.
I couldn't have found a better way to express this feeling than you have here. I spent 2 years after a heart breaking divorce wandering through the Shenandoah mountains. It was cathartic. It was silent. And it was required for survival. Now, as life moves on and those difficult times are very far behind me, I find myself craving that same type of silence again. Just to touch base from the person I am to the person I want to be.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It means a lot to me 😊 My longing for silence began after a heartbreaking moment as well. I always find it interesting how some of us look for silence and turn inward (like wandering through mountains) while others look for noise and escape. Once we experience the healing power of silence, it becomes a sanctuary forever. I think that once the mind and body understand this, they start to look for it naturally when they need rest
Spot on. I'm not sure if it's a cliche now or not, but my Instagram algorithm knows what I want: stoic philosophy. There's a lot of power in it. Combined with meditation, I find myself really processing a lot more internally than externally. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. They're important.
What we see makes such an impact on our minds! for many of us, most of what we see is through social media. My algorithm changes sometimes, so I try to "clean it" every once in a while to bring it back to metta practices and the like haha
I am not the biggest yapper, and I’m not the most silent either. I have lots of opinions but not everything is meant to be expressed. I crave silence simply because I wanted to understand the world around me. I love this! Exactly what Ive been thinking for days now<33
You are most definitively not alone in this 😊 in a world of noise it might seem counterintuitive to some, but I think there's nothing more natural than silence! Thank you for reading 💛
This resonates so much!
