An Exercise In Silence
from The Alchemical Mind Hosted by The Alchemical Mind
Silence is golden, says the famous proverb, but what exactly does this mean? On this episode of The Alchemical Mind, I take a look at the importance of silence, not just on a philosophical level, but the actual real world effects of silence on our body and mind. I'll briefly discuss two studies which you can find in the show notes below, before diving into a quick, two minute exercise. Can you live in the moment for two minutes? What kind of emotions and thoughts arise from this exercise? Can you learn to stop acting and simply be? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram, or on the new The Alchemical Mind Facebook page.
