“In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation, and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way.” Angeles Arrien
I aspire to silence the voices,
That I might hear the One True Voice.
When that One True Voice is silenced,
I shall hear Everything.
Often we are so busy looking outwardly to solve our problems of stress, health issues, or emotional pain or sadness, that we forget to listen and trust our voice within.
Our intuition, our deep knowing and our wisdom can be found in stillness. We only learn to trust this with practice each day. Silencing the outside noise and our busy minds, we can learn to hear everything.
LIVING IN THIS MOMENT 
So beautifully written and so very true.
It is wonderful when we can trust this. Thankyou 🙏🏻
Yes, that silence. It’s so good!!
So good! Thanks Mary 🙏🏻
A lovely reminder Karen. I’ll meet you there 💛
Wonderful! 💚 Thankyou Val
I love when the words turn inside out and you’re left with revelation! Yes,this was beautiful…
Peace

Thankyou Michael. Have a wonderful day. 🙂
Another one that is so important yet so difficult. Election season. How does one silence the outside voices? It seems to be a constant choir! And I don’t even have TV and there is almost no radio reception. Perhaps I should quit going online.
It is a constant white noise out there Emilie. I find when I practice stillness each day, that I don’t find myself feeling caught in the drama or the stress of it all. We can learn to detach and breathe through it. 🙏🏻
This is such a great calming and insightful piece Karen, “the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation” and it is this place that seems to be an important retreat for everyone to take a deep breath and figure out all that the world/life throws our way. Brilliant, and I need to read this post often to remind myself 🙂
So true, we all need to retreat and take a deep breath to survive this crazy life! Thanks Randall, have a great weekend. 🙂
Karen I love this and it does take some practice to listen to that higher self. We do have all that we need inside us if we just listen to our hearts desire.
We do have this within, sometimes it just takes a bit of convincing 😍😍
I so agree, Karen. And now I look forward to a period of silence in the northern woodlands and connecting to my inner wisdom.
Sounds beautiful Helen. Enjoy re-connecting. 🙏🏻
Can one really find solace even in nosiest places? Thanks for answering, Karen. 😉
Thanks Rommel and yes it is possible! Have a great day 🙏🏻
So very true, Karen! That silence can be cultivated from within, although tricky in today’s busy and loud outside world. I try to do morning pages, when I write three pages longhand in my journal about whatever comes to my mind. Seems focus my mind in the early hours before the chaos of the day begins.
Thank you for the lovely post!
That’s a great example of practising stillness! Finding a focus that’s right for us is important to maintain a practice. Thankyou missy jean. 😀

Wonderfully beautiful. Thank you Karen for sharing this.
Thankyou for your support and peace.
Thanks for the reminder to keep stopping for awhile and listen to my inner voice.
I need reminding too! Thankyou for being here Elizabeth. 🙏🏻
That is what I try to do in my meditations but sometimes my mind won’t rest I gather energy and ideas for art and its hard to stop the creative flow and just quiet that active mind. But Im getting better at letting the stuff come and then letting it go.
Yes and you also have that beautiful landscape of nature around you, that is full of stillness and peace. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌻🌻🌻
