The Power of Silence ::
Wordless silence is an invitation to *direct experience*.
Unmediated by words. Unfolding in the eternal Now.
It's the preferred language of the newborn, and since
you were once a newborn, you know it -- even if you
forgot.
In silence, you can feel your Emotional Guidance more
clearly. You can hear your thoughts, and choose them
more deliberately. Ten seconds of silence can
transform a conversation!
Today, as you interact with your children and others,
see how long you can go without speaking. Make a game
of it...
* Talk less but *communicate more* --
non-verbally and intuitively.
* Use body language and touch instead of words.
* When you have a question, try to "tune in"
to the answer instead of asking for it.
* If the phone rings while you're "in the
zone," ignore it.
* Mouth: closed. Heart: open.
The object of this game is to have fun discovering how
much communication is possible without words -- to
*feel* the qualities of Presence and Connection beyond
words
