Silence is Golden
Silence is a beautiful thing. Silence provides us with a break from all the buzz. It affords us some breathing space. It can be a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day. As a coach, I have found it to be one of the most powerful coaching tools in my coaching toolbox; when you use silence you give the other person the time and the space to reflect on the question/comment before responding. Silence is truly golden and something I don’t think we take advantage of enough.
It is my wish that you give yourself the gift of silence for just 10 minutes a day. Find some place to sit quietly, take some deep breathes, and just relax. Let your mind go where it needs to go. Oh, and if you want to try something really fun, try asking yourself a question and then go silent. See what happens, as you might be pleasantly surprised.
Have fun soaking in the silence. Peace and quiet be with you all!

Beautiful post Pam. Besides silence is just quitting al those chatting thoughts and filtering out harmful vibrations.When you focus your onscience you are in silence, you are connected with your inner self.
Try then to listen to the silence, you will find more then you can image :)

Elio, thank you and thank you for sharing your insight. Silence is (IMHO) an under utilized tool and it truly does wonders. :) Enjoy!!Posted by Pam on 06/07/2008
Sitting in silence really is the best way to unwind. 'Oh, and if you want to try something really fun, try asking yourself a question and then go silent.' The Infinite One usually answers your question!Posted by susan on 06/07/2008
