Episode 14: Why Silence Can Feel So Strange

from Why Can't I Meditate? · host Deb Phelps

Many of us are surrounded by constant stimulation throughout the day — noise, scrolling, music, conversations, notifications, and endless input. So when things finally become quiet, silence can sometimes feel unfamiliar… or even uncomfortable.In this episode, we explore why stillness can feel strange at first, especially when beginning a meditation practice, and how that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. You’ll learn how meditation gently helps us notice what’s already happening beneath the surface — without needing to force perfect calm or silence.This episode includes a short guided meditation focused on sound, stillness, and learning how to spend a little time without immediately filling the space.🌿 meditatewithdeb.com Get full access to Meditate with Deb | Peaceful Wellness at debphelps.substack.com/subscribe
