Listen "2025 - Week 27 - Embracing Silence"
Episode Synopsis
All the links: LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISONToday as I was cutting fruit I allowed myself to do one thing...cut the fruit. No television, music, radio or podcast. Just me and the fruit I was preparing. I was home alone and I was in silence. And it felt AWESOME. I was focused and intentional and the fruit tasted delicious as I was nibbling whilst cutting. lol.I must say I have really come to enjoy the quiet. At one time silence for me felt very scary. I would dread not having something to distract me. With practice, I have learned to relish silence. In the silence, I hear the gentle whooshing of the fan as I lie in bed in the mornings before I get up. I hear the birds singing and inviting me to come outside to see what the weather feels like. I have learned to be with my feelings and emotions so much better since I have been embracing silence as a daily practice. Silence is my intimate partner on life's journey. In the silence I remind myself to be open and receptive to receive answers to questions I may have. I also learn that sometimes I don't have to or need to say anything, just be quiet. What is your relationship with silence? Do you embrace theopportunity for the stillness that may come with it? Does the quietness make you feel uncomfortable? Maybe you never thought about it? What would happen if you embraced silence as a daily practice?Most things in life are enhanced with practice. I invite you to join me to practice a little bit of silence. I call this a slice of silence.So let's take a few minutes to just be with the silence.
