Try a silent meditation
If you are not yet sure how to meditate in silence, join one of our zoom calls. We regularly give instruction for silent meditation.
But in the meantime, here’s an experiment.
Start by listening to the radio to see what’s playing. Once you have the gist of the audio guidance, experiment with turning off the radio and continuing on your own for a few minutes.
These timers might help:
At the end of the timer, there will be a “harp” sound.
When starting any meditation, it can be useful to have an initial bell, or signal, to home in on. By extension, our studio of practice starts with a radio station signal. It’s a homing beacon.
And then, after the spark towards internal focus is initiated, the initial signal can become quiet.
The pathway of deepening mindfulness practice is a quieting process that eventually leads to a healing silence.
The outside world has gotten very noisy.
There is not enough support for being calm or for quieting our nervous systems. To offer support to each other, our studio gathers together on zoom, and in-person at studio locations.
When gathering together for meditation, we usually ring a bell as the initial signal to home in on.
There’s plenty of bells being played on our radio station.
And then, once the meditation is initiated, that initial signal can be silenced. As said already, to engage deeply with mindfulness practice requires a process. That process is a process of quieting internally. It eventually leads to a healing silence.
Please join our studio. There is no substitute for being together in this work.
