Big topic for us today: SILENCE. Such a simple and powerful tool, that is often forgotten in western society. In this episode we will explore questions like: What do we mean with silence? How does it change our perception of reality and our inner self? Why is silence so awkward in a social setting? Why do we talk when there is nothing important to say?
Leo puts emphasis on silence in the social setting. How is it to be in silence in a group? What feelings come up?
We figure out, that for us, talking can be a way of avoiding silence and looking inward. How loud is our inner voice if we stop talking?
Anton shares about his experience with two 7-days silence retreats and what they changed in his life. Further on, he talks about his experience with a glimpse of nothingness. How does it feel, when everything that you know about yourself, all the concepts of the mind, disappear for a moment?
And what can you do, day to day, to integrate silence into your life?
Enjoy and let us know about your experiences!
