Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually
Silence
The ancient Greeks had nine muses. The early
Roman king, Numa Pompilius, wisely added one
more – Tacita, the muse of silence. For silence can
be as powerful as the loudest of noises. Anyone
observing two minutes of silence on Remembrance
Day would agree. The value of communal silence is
not appreciated as it used to be. Mediaeval monks
valued silence greatly:
Everywhere peace, everywhere serenity.
Aelred, Abbot of Rievaulx.
Do I recognise the power of silence?
The Prophet Elijah in his cave, listening for the
sound of God’s voice, said:
It was not heard in wind, earthquake or
fire, but in the sound of sheer silence.
Silence isn’t empty, it’s often full of answers. Just a
few minutes of silent meditation each day gives our
brain and more importantly, our soul, a chance to
rest and regenerate. Today I will find time for
silence and I will appreciate the peace it brings.
