Silence is not empty. Different traditions say the same thing, silence is full of answers. "Be still and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10 "Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know" - Tao Te Ching "Silence is the voice of the Great Spirit." - Native American Wisdom Mystics, sages, and searchers have whispered the same secret for centuries and civilizations: the soul remembers its real essence in stillness. From the silent deserts of early Christian mystics to the flowing words of the Tao Te Ching, from the Buddha's meditative breath to the brilliant insights of Zen masters, The Sacred Power of Silence is a journey into this eternal wisdom-a weaving together of the voices of the ancients. Silence is not an absence in a world full of noise, distraction, and never-ending striving; rather, it is a presence that is alive, healing, and incredibly smart. It is the sacred place where one encounters God, the Tao, or the Self beyond words, where insight emerges, and where the heart softens. This book illustrates how silence has always been the gateway to change via poetry observations, timeless tales, and helpful meditation advice. You will learn: Why the ancients considered stillness to be sacred.How calmness allows for peace and clarity in the mind.How to practice stillness in the midst of the tumult of modern life.The road to awakening-to discovering the joy and freedom that are already within of you. The Sacred Power of Silence is an invitation more than just a book. An appeal to stop, listen, and keep in mind. To realize that you are complete, bright, and free-in this very instant of silence-instead of lacking or lost. Step into the silence. And discover that the silence has always been beckoning you home.
