Whether it is a silent retreat, a day, an hour, or just a few minutes, the practice of silence is powerful. Silence gives the mind a glorious opportunity to recalibrate. Sitting in silence enables the practitioner to see thoughts for what they really are. As events that come and go - that may carry emotion - depending upon the state of mind. Observing thoughts objectively and with awareness enables us to not get caught up in them or necessarily believe them. Like watching waves on the ocean's surface. Where, just below, there is calm.

Sink into silence. You won't be disappointed!

Enjoy the silence of Yoga Nidra, a mindfulness practice toward the end of each yoga class where we practice silence as a way to assimilate and then meditation as a way to focus the mind, train our attention (which changes as we age), and see life unfolding in a more objective way.
