In the modern world of constant distractions, visual stimuli and noise, it is highly recommended the daily exercise of sitting down, closing your eyes, relax and being silent for a few minutes each day. It can be done at any time during the day or even just when we need a break. Emptying the mind for a few minutes a day has some wonderful miracles in our inner state, calming and slowing down our mind and body.
Sitting down, relaxing, closing your eyes and embracing silence is a practice of profound significance for the overall well-being as well as personal growth. Starting with a few minutes a day, it can be extended gradually increasing the amount of time spent in silence as you become more comfortable. It is an excellent opportunity to disconnect from the external world and turn inward, bringing inner peace and mental clarity. The exercise trains to calm the mind, to focus on the present moment without judgment or distraction and improving our breathing process.
Stillness provides a space for breaking internal patterns, recharging our inner state, reducing stress, and improving overall mental and emotional health. Regular practice allows for self-reflection, self-discovery, and elevating self-awareness, enabling you to gain a deeper connection to your thoughts and emotions. Dedicating time each day to silence is a powerful investment in your inner harmony and creativity, enhancing your capacity to go through challenges with clarity and serenity.
Remember, a quiet and empty mind has more room for more good things: learn, accept, grow, change, improve, creativity, imagination and thus, new ideas.
May you develop the art of sitting down and closing your eyes.
