    • ]]>     Remember that behind the office chatter, ringing phones, buzzing cell phones and news, there’s a backdrop of silence.

    As psychiatrist David R. Hawkins explains, it is because of this backdrop of silence that we are able to perceive sound.

    The more information we become inundated with—the more we stack on layers of distraction—the less accessible that sacred silence becomes.

    But the sacred silence is untouched and unmoved by our busy lives. It waits with infinite patience; it exits in eternal stillness.

    Connect with that sacred silence. Sit with it. Revel in it.

    You need not stay in the stillness for long—a few moments each day will do for those actively engaged in the world.

    Resting in silence can exponentially improve your state of being. Stronger emotional fortitude, keener intuition, greater creativity and more inner joy awaits.
