ॐ During 2024, I spent a lot of time away from social media, practicing silencing and constraint usage of technology. Sometimes 11 days, sometimes 28 days, sometimes 45 days, sometimes 60 days, sometimes even more than 90 days without posting on Facebook, which is my only way of communicating my thoughts and words to the public. I use Silence time on social media for self-reflection and meditation. Every time I go inward, I realize that I like to be solitary, like the tranquility of quietness, like sitting freely in a room alone reading inspirational books, walking in the natural forest, and communicating with Mother Earth. Most of all, I enjoy being authentic to my soul, and I love to nourish my spirit with a healthy companion.
Here we are in 2025, I don’t need anyone to define me or society to validate who I am. I know that my self-worth comes from my relationship with my heart and my expansion of consciousness and not from peer approval or social acceptance.
Yes, I have spent the past 38 years playing the people-pleasing game to gain recognition from others, and now recognize self-appreciation is more important than social validation, I refuse to play the popularity game.
Definitely, silence my thought, silence my mind, and silence my world is the most rewarding approach to accessing my internal world. Silence taught me that what is truly satisfying is self-acceptance and being able to open my heart to feel inner peace, joy, and self-love, and contentment is only generated within myself. In addition, silence also gives birth to an epic epiphany.
However, in this noisy, eventful, and overwhelming world of sensationalizing, silence is often neglected and removed, but it hides unexpected power and meaning. When we embrace silence, listen, and be quiet, we will discover the forgotten truth of the famous Chinese quote, “Silence is Golden”. Generally speaking, silence is often used to express respect and reflection, or to describe a person’s being observant and foresight. Likewise, remaining silent will no more misinterpret, will not offend others, prevent corresponding disputes, and avoid the attacks of verbal collisions. It is also the most effective way to stop calamities coming from the mouth.
Multiple studies show that embracing silence in a culture dominated by disturbance and constant chatter can lead us to gain insights into our hearts, and to question the foundations of our habitual thoughts and the world around us. Also, silence is good for physical and mental health. Silence can interrupt an overly thinking mind. Silence is beneficial to meditation state. Silence also improves sleep quality. Silence provides a haven for our overstimulated super brain. Silence can also help us connect with our higher self and receive insight from the stillness. Since we live in an environment full of noise and distraction, our busy lives often interfere with relaxation and disregard a calm lifestyle. But only silence can provide a sense of release that allows us to recalibrate and think better. Moreover, establishing and sustaining periods of silent thoughts can eliminate the harmful effects of noise pollution.
Through the last few days of reflection, meditation, and observation, I grasped that I cannot drown myself in the confusing illusion. I know silence naturally led me to dig inwardly to discover the truthfulness of my soul journey. Not only did I feel the divine contact and connection with my heart, but I also found my true self and gained some significant insight from the ancient saying, “Silence is Golden”. Please allow me to share my comprehension of silence.
Silence is the imperative aspect of life, including being the most effective tool for meditation and inner peace, providing optimistic mental health, offering a compassionate heart, cultivating effective communication, and promoting spiritual awareness and constructive channels of creativity. Let’s explore these six influential benefits of embracing silence:
1. Instruments of Meditation: By observing our thoughts quietly and without interpretation, definition, and distractions, we come to realize that our identities and thoughts are ever-changing, just as Buddhism teaches. Furthermore, practicing silence enables us to recognise the illusory nature of our thoughts, and meditation naturally helps us to connect with our true self in the best way, then through proactively and persistently witnessing emotion in silence, we can release repetitive thoughts and automatic reactive patterns.
2. Mental health: When we reject external noise and become more sensitive to an inner world, silence allows us to listen intently to our environment. In the same way, by talking less and using fewer words to identify things, our psychology will reduce the magnitude of bondage. Such an unburdened mentality will be healthier and gain the ability to increase self-awareness, which a conscious mind can have the brainpower to overcome challenges and transform any mental blockage.
3. Inner Peace: Silence means having nonreactive thoughts and emotions and mind, it also indicates forgiveness and a merciful mindset. At the same time, it reveals that we have a great tolerance attitude, can endure situations that others cannot accept, demonstrate a willingness to use the opportunity to learn, and are compassionate toward others. Likewise, natural silence exhibits not making habitual counterattacks and being able to bear any outcome, which facility us to access internal peace easily, which will always impact our day brighter and smoother, and more constructive.
4. Effective Communication: Silence represents recognition and acceptance, also the most efficient form of thought transmission. Especially using silence as a response during an argument shows a genuine interest in listening and enhanced interaction. Similarly, sometimes silence is better than sound. When we recognize others and circumstances, silent acceptance is more valuable than a thousand words. In many cases, silence is a more effective way of articulating thoughts and self-attitudes than vocalising.
5. Spiritual Awakening: When silence and a peaceful mind are connected, a potent insight will be generated. Silence is the most direct and reliable method of inner world communication. By letting go of our thoughts and releasing the past, our brains find calmness in the constant noise influential world, and we naturally awaken our consciousness and soul. Hence, we know our natural state, and our inner power recognizes how to deconstruct the constructive matrix game.
6. The Birth of Creativity: Complete silence can transmit a powerful message. When our thoughts settle into quietness, stillness, the natural flow of energy, and the connection with the soul are enhanced. The magical universe will inspire us and give us more insights, and at the same time, the open channel will receive more creative resources. Research shows that intuitions and innovative ideas tend to emerge when our brains are in a state of relaxation and lower activity. It is certain that silence can revolutionize our mental attitude. As a matter of fact, it was after nine months of silence and solitude that I received the inspiration from the benevolent spirit, which guided me to give birth to the unconventional book ” Travelling Inwards.”
Unfortunately, mankind has long been bombarded by duplicitous narratives, vicious gossip, fictitious stories, deceptive videos, toxic music, and unconstructive high technology. We are taught to live in a noisy reality, conditioned to be constrained by the external world, become accustomed to materialistic consumption, are trained to let hypocritical authoritative leaders determine our life choices, and programmed to accept sensational mainstream propaganda. Nevertheless, it is time for us to tap into the power of silence and to fully awaken to the machinations within this matrix.
Potentially, silencing our thoughts, silencing our minds, and silencing our world is the most powerful force that conveys energy and brings many benefits to our lives. It urges us to patiently learn the teachings of surrendering completely to the universe and pay attention to the intuition deepening in our soul, which can accelerate creativity and help our physical and mental health. I am aware that my biggest enemy is always my own reactive habits, speaking empty words, and ignoring the needs of my soul. Let us not forget that the profound enlightenment and insights that provide us are often found in the stillness and inner peace, especially silence is the Qingyun Ladder of achieving the great road.
Nikola Tesla often sought solitude and embraced silence, both paving the way for those “aha” moments of innovation. Silence is the historical pattern of geniuses choosing to spend time alone. It is natural for inspiration to be cultivated and thrive in quiet places, as well as geniuses aware of harnessing particular energy in silence, and their intelligence grants nurture to bestow creativity in a skyrocketing way.
I realized that the most contented life is which one that does not wrong oneself, does not suppress oneself, does not deceive oneself, does not belittle oneself, does not grovel, does not compromise, and does not follow the crowd. Positively, I dare to continue the inner journey of Silence is Golden, to know myself, and to permit my inner peace to guide me through this magnificent journey of discovery.
Undoubtedly, when I am alone in silence, I feel the love and beauty of the divine universe. By this means, I chose to stop posting on Facebook for another 38 days, utilize this time to meditate and surrender to my higher self, and continue to explore my consciousness through this silent method. I believe that having unremitting devotion to Travel Inward and taking time to connect with my soul, the Divine Force shall bestow me forward on an optimized path and illumine up with radiance!
