“Silence can be cultivated in a number of ways. Initially, it will look like something you do through the body—to breathe deeply and rhythmically, to sit next to an ocean, to sit beneath a tree and become absorbed in the wind. Or to merely practice the ancient art of remaining silent without speaking as you go through your daily events.” (“The Way of Transformation,” The Way of Mastery, Lesson 22, Page 263)
We all need silence, but we live in a noisy world. We all talk a lot, too. Cultivating silence in our daily rounds may be easier than practicing meditation consistently, and being silent as we contemplate is, to my mind/heart, a recommended substitute.
When we are silent, we can listen to our innermost world; we can go within. There is richness there. As we know, God dwells within all Creation. And He will speak to us when we get quiet enough to hear. I don’t mean something audible, but a knowing that gives us guidance for our next step.
Just quieten down, outwardly and inwardly. After a hectic holiday season, perhaps we all could use some silence.

Thanks for sharing, you could not have posted this at a more better time than this day. I really needed to hear this. It is as if I can hear the words right in my ears. This has really helped me a lot. God bless you. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much! I needed it, too.
You’re so welcome. God bless you.
A spiritual person who is dear to God remains silent and away from materialistic persons.
I dip into silence daily. It is powerful and peaceful.
