Stepping Inside ... (cont.)

*When we learn to become silent we become more compassionate (generous) in
our outlook and start accepting others for who they are.

*The more we are able to accept, the sooner we find that there is harmony
(peacefulness) in our relationships. We start saving energy, sparing or
reducing our thoughts and our words. This is accompanied by more patience,
tolerance, flexibility, easiness and lightness. Silence teaches us the art
of living. Silence can be misused to isolate oneself and go into
loneliness, but *true, positive silence gives us a balance between our
inner and outer worlds.* Having explored our inner self we collect our
positive energy, become aware of our qualities, and then very naturally
these are expressed externally. *We move our concentration to the inner
self and then to the external world. Then we go inwards again. It is a
circular movement.* As we go into silence, we recharge our inner energies,
become one with the self, heal our self, relax and release our self from
negativity. There are so many benefits by simply stepping inside to meet
our true self. As we draw out our internal riches and resources, what do we
do with them? We share them and give them out and in doing this we receive
and we learn.
