The incredible benefits of silence: heal us without saying anything

Silence is very important to be able to listen to life. Limiting the noise of everything around us is important for our physical, mental and emotional health. To get away from the daily noise, cars, music, television and the telephone means to open ourselves to the relaxation and creativity, frees us from the dependence of being always connected and on alert. But what about our true essence?

We can not say that today we live more calmly than in the past. We worry about creating computers, quieter washing machines but we are not aware of how much we can be disturbed by the new noise: WhatsApp notifications, Facebook, email ... are responsible for poor performance at work and especially in personal relationships. Silence and tranquility today have more enemies than ever.

We forget what life wants to tell us with what is happening to me here and now, what remains for me to learn, why this happens to me in this precious moment and to be able to answer these questions our mind must be calm.

But not only in listening to ourselves but in listening with the other. To be able to reach that person really needs to be empty of ourselves so that our thoughts do not interfere. To listen is to be present in the other person, which will lead us to ask ourselves: What are you trying to tell me, what are you feeling? When someone is telling us something, many times he is giving us the most valuable thing a person can have: his inner world.

Listening to others teaches us, in addition to listening to ourselves. We can have moments of high emotional tension but we can fight against the precipitation that we feel by remembering the Japanese proverb: '' what you have to say, say it tomorrow ''. How many times do we feel interior noise, we have an uneasy mind and say something we did not want to say or not in that way and a relationship of years is broken ?.

We can empty to fill, when we shut up and isolate ourselves from noise, in addition to reducing errors we open a space in our mind to be more creative. We can do it in a simple way, in our daily life, just by closing our eyes for a moment and taking a few deep breaths to recharge the mind with silence.

Ten minutes before going to bed will help us to review the events that have arisen throughout the day, even dedicating only ten minutes to be quiet with ourselves can be a good way to start.

Do you know the negative consequences of noise?

Experts have proven that from the physical point of view the constant sound stimuli of voices, machines and devices hurt our body and our mind in two areas:

  • They produce pain: the blood pressure increases and at the same time the heart accelerates which is more sensitive to suffer from insomnia and headaches from 60 decibels.
  • It produces irritability: a continuous noise, even a slight one, affects our concentration and makes us more irritable. In addition to losing concentration as a consequence.

Any moment of silence is an opportunity to understand where we are, rethink our life and make decisions.
