The Sound Of Silence...

Silence can  be a place that scares you, comforts you, heals you, makes you want to  run-a-way. Silence is that place where there is no outside noise, but the quiet spoken voice of your soul.

What is your preference? Do you like the time when you can sit in silence and clear your mind, or does it scare you so much that you can't deal with being in such a state?

I have been in both. Most of,  if not all my years until recently I hated being anywhere that was quiet as I didn't wan to hear my soul speak. I loved all the noise around me, to stop myself from being able to think, to feel, to remember.

So what helped me make the change to now loving the silence? Amazingly enough finding a love for writing and seeing stories in my vision that I am able to capture and write, allowing my soul and the universe to speak to me through images and characters in my mind. I have had the ability to "hear" and at times "see". Now I know not everyone believes in angels, fairies, etc, but I do. I am lucky enough now to be healthy enough to enjoy my moments of solitude and quiet to listen to the universe and to learn so much and to be able to write. I now crave the quiet to hear and see and write as I feel like a drift off into another world, another place, another time. This time I feel such deep inner healing and new beginnings as well.

I have for so long put this part of me away from the world. I have had the inner voices of an eating disorder control me for so long, that at 40+ I have wished at times that I could go back to being ten and change so much, though if I did would I be the person I am today? No, probably not. I am learning very quickly that I can step forward and be the authentic person I see myself as today.

My favorite song at the moment is "Sound Of Silence" by Disturbed. Such a classic song originally done my Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. This version by Disturbed has helped me over the past few weeks come to see that the sound of silence is an amazing place. This latest version is sung in such a touching way with grit and movement. Its a song I can listen to over and over again, with the volume turned right up and still feel like I am the only one on earth at that time. Then there are times when I can sit and listen to classical music which has never been a genre of music I have liked, though now as I allow myself to listen to new music and being curious about new things.

Please take some time to be in silence and you will hear the voice of your soul and universe talking to you.

Have such a beautiful week.
