Silence beyond absence
True silence is not merely the absence of sound. It is the quieting of unnecessary mental movement.
Why silence matters
When external input reduces, perception becomes sharper. Subtle thoughts and emotions reveal themselves.
Practicing silence
Begin with short periods daily. Avoid turning silence into suppression; allow experiences to arise naturally.
Conclusion
Silence, practiced gently and consistently, becomes a teacher in itself.
