How Much SILENCE Do You Have in Your Day?
Ever read something that just takes your breath away – because it seems to be
written just for you? That’s what happened this morning when I read “Let
Silence Speak” by my dear friend, Sharon Frame.
Usually I meditate twice a day but the last few mornings I’ve been cutting
them a little shorter than my usual half hour morning and evening. That’s
because I have SO much to do getting ready for those Colorado gigs – and
there just aren’t enough hours in the day.
And then I read Sharon’s article.
Please read it and tell me if it hits you that way too – or write your
comments below about techniques you use to keep your life flowing smoothly
and effortlessly.
Here’s what Sharon wrote:
Let Silence Speak
By SHARON FRAME
I am learning to be silent.
For me, that’s like telling a precocious bird who just discovered her wings
not to fly. It’s like draining the liquid from running water.
Yet it must be done.
I get a power surge from sitting silently in God’s presence.
Silence
speaks volumes.
It reminds me to walk in love, and to see the “God”ness in
everyone I meet.
It reaffirms the greatness in me.
Silence pulls back the curtain and reveals the infinite possibilities that
self-doubt and unbelief work so hard to hide.
In silent meditation, God
connects the dots to this maze called life. He gives clear answers to the
struggles that seem hell-bent on disrupting my peace.
When I sit in silence, God whispers His will and reveals the way to
“sweatless victory.” ”Be still and know that I am God,” He says.
But shutting off the noise of human reason and getting quiet is not easy.
Life’s daily run keeps us busy. We get caught up in the hurry going no where.
Yet we choose to keep running on the same hamster wheel.
We won’t stop, be silent and get divine directions.
It’s so easy to complicate life by overlooking the value of simple silence.
We say, “surely the Omnipotent Creator of the vast universe must require
more.”
What He calls for is an ear fine-tuned to hear His voice. And that “still,
small voice” is best discerned after we drown out our own thoughts of defeat
and discouragement.
Listen for God’s presence in the silence.
For here is where Almighty
reminds us that “all things are possible, if we believe.”
When we find that quiet spot and center on silence, we hear the whisper of
our Creator saying “let go and let God.” Almighty knows the path we should
take. And He delights in those who seek His counsel.
But oh how the dizzying rush of daily life distracts.
We go to bed busy.
We wake up still tired.
By day, we worry about recession, wars and our
family’s well being.
At night we toss and turn in fear, disturbing our own
dreams.
Tomorrow, we get up and cradle this madness as normal, even while
we curse its vicious, senseless cycle.
Stress becomes our taskmaster.
The more we work the further behind we fall. We can’t clear the chaos on our
calendar fast enough.
We wonder out loud why everybody seems to be getting
ahead in life except us.
Seek the answer in the silence.
Before your mind turns up the dial to life’s noisy confusion, shift your
frequency to silence.
Listen more to God.
He waits to replenish us each day well before the dawn; before chaos clouds
our sunrise.
Let silence set the tone.
Let it shout so loud with hope and possibility that nothing else matters,
except the voice of God cheering you on.

Do you suffer from anxiety attacks? Of course only a qualified medical professional can correctly diagnose these kinds of serious issues, and I would recommend that you seek assistance in these matters if you're experiencing anxiety symptoms. That being said, there are steps an individual can take to relieve and maybe eliminate the emotional turbulence that often accompanies panic and anxiety attacks. With a very simple, natural technique called brainwave entrainment, you can get these sensations and feelings under control and put your life back in order.
