When Does Silence Convey More than Words?

Silence is one of the most powerful tools we have for spiritual growth as well as for psychological, emotional and interpersonal health. Sadly though silence is really misunderstood. For example, silence is one of the most powerful methods of communication. Yes! Silence is a powerful way to communicate! But unfortunately it also tends to make a lot of people really uncomfortable, because our programming and experience tells us that there’s a problem if someone doesn’t talk to us…, we’re not used to relating to people without words. But, in this inspiring video Sadhviji beautifully explains that there’s no reason to be uncomfortable with silence. Rather, there is every reason to use silence as a new way to “listen” to others and, more importantly, to ourselves. It’s the perfect way, she says, to leave the shallowness of words behind, and to find the true meaning behind our thoughts and feelings – and of those we love.
