Silence

There comes a time in our lives that we wake up in silence, we sit at the computer in silence, and we meditate and pray in silence. But then I thought, "But what about all the little sounds around me?" I knew at that moment that those sounds were still sounds that had to come from some place.

There is a humming sound in my own head that I use during meditations. I listen to this high pitched sound until it carries me off deeper into the mind. Once I reach that point I don't hear anything. There are no sounds that exist outside of me. That is complete silence, including the lack of the hissing noise in my head.

When I reach this place I am recharged. It's like my body completely understands that it needed this moment to regenerate and heal.

Regarding the high pitched sound, I figure I'll use it to my advantage since I've been blessed with it. I mean no one knows how to fix it and I've tried every supplement under the sun. My hearing is excellent and there seems to be no damage to my ears. But this sound lives in my head and I know that. For those of you that have the same issue give it a try, you'll see that it's not your ears at all.

Silence is never really present until we are in the deep, deep sleep. Then we hear nothing. We are allowed to complete dissolve into the nothingness and the wholeness of life to be rocked like a baby. This silence is my clue of where I am within my own meditation.

For now I will be pleased to know that my thoughts are not creating noise and move further into the silence with what is. And of course anytime we think about silence that's really what most people are speaking about, silence of their own monkey mind.

Belief Statement: My silence is haunted by the sounds of the past which keeps me feeling sad, angry and lost. The noise within my own mind is helping me to gain frustration and lose peace.

Spirit Statement: Peace is guiding my silence now with happiness, joy and discovery in the silent mind with awareness and peace.

The Christmas Carol is so point on about how our past are what clutter our minds into being something that we know we are not. It's the part of us that keeps chattering on and on while disconnecting us from enjoying the company of others.

Much love to you all and the silence from your thoughts. All that you need to remember is being present is the present in freedom. Practice that today and you'll see life turn just a bit at most, but maybe a whole lot. Whoooo knows?

Love and enjoy,
