The sound of silence

I remember this song very well and it has great impression in my mind. This is also a theme song for the movie with the same title. It must be in the 80's.

There iwas a scene in the movie whereby Dustin Hoffman was stting in the park alone in the very early morning . It was a complete silence and still with a healing feeling, There is a saying "silence is golden".  I must agree with this wisdom because I have experienced the power of silence  on many occassions during meditation or justing sitting there in silence and let your body heal by ifself.

During the slience, we will be able to listen to our heart and our body and go deep into our mind to know and understand ourselves. This is also to allow our body to communicate with our mind or vice versa.

We can just close our eyes and concentrate on our breathing . Feel the freshness of each breath and be aware of its movement.  Just even in breath and the out breath and gradually slow it down ie from a four count in and out breath to a 10 count breathing, Get in touch with the feeling and feel the peace and the freshness of the air, Try to emerge yourself with the surrounding and eventually, enter into a phase of non existence and feel suspended.  Enjoy this feeling for sometime.  Now, you are in meditation, Empty your thoughs or just watch it go by without doing anything. Just stay still and be aware,

In the movie, it progress by showing gradually more and more people came to the park as the day progress and finally, the actor was surrounded by many people and the whole scene became so noisy , polluted and cramp,  So, it is time to go on with our routine and our journey in life .

Namaste,
