What being in Silence meant to me...
I have never in my life been in Silence and the opportunity presented itself to and because I am very open to trying anything these days, here came the silence! It felt a bit strange at first not talking to those around me or making eye contact, but I began to get use to it and actually really enjoyed it! It was nice to not have noise, of course there was my brain being noisy trying to figure out work schedules and business ventures in my brain. I would realize I was in my brain and I would focus on my breath and then Id notice the beauty all around me. I enjoyed myself, I mean being with myself, it was very pleasant, different and I look forward to doing it again!
I highly recommend enjoying silence at some time in your life, It may sound strange at first but really it's blissful! O.K. so maybe it's not blissful for everyone and maybe it won't be so blissful next time, but I still think it is an experience that is worth trying! at least once! I know I will be enjoying silence at least twice a year, spring and fall at hiddenlakeretreat.org, if not for the silence then for the amazing food that Laurie so lovingly prepared! Seriously when silence broke, I think the main topic was how amazing the food was, and I so enjoyed hearing all the sounds of everyone eating and enjoying each bite not worrying about the future, being completely present!
So Silence for me was an experience I will always remember, words cannot describe the amount of calmness, joy, love, acceptance, and space in my heart that was allowed in by simply being silent and having the support of others around me doing the same was so helpful!
I am so thankful to my husband for always allowing me to grow, he is extremely supportive of my desire to try new things, even when in his mind he may not understand, he doesn't judge, he just accepts and supports. I am one lucky girl, thanks to all those around me that supported me, I hope to always accept and love in each moment every day!
Cheers to silence, may you find a bit of silence for yourself everyday, even if it's just in the car on the way to work, turn the radio, and cell phone off and just enjoy the peace fullness within....
