a day without speaking.

Take five minutes, an hour, half a day or a week and keep silent.

Don’t speak. Listen to the deep quiet of your heart. This silence is always there beneath the agitated ocean of the mind.

Select a time & leave a note (if necessary) to family and friends in advance.

Shut off your cell phone. Turn off the music and TV and unplug the Internet.

Use the quiet time to observe yourself, your mind, and others. With practice you will come to look forward to these periods of silence as a retreat.

Appreciate the calm interior and the joy of turning inward towards your divine spirit.

You may notice that you have more energy after a day without speaking.
