Take a long, slow deep breath, hold for a second, and then exhale slowly. Repeat several times until you feel your consciousness shift into the quiet moment.
Now listen.
Intently listen.
Become aware of the multitude of sounds around you in this moment.
Focus on one sound and let it reverberate through you.
And for the final step, let go of that one sound and now listen only to the deep silence that is your true nature.
Ah, peace and bliss.
The sound of silence.
And where there's silence, there is no stress. :)

ReplyDeleteLong live the quiet people. Keep up the great articles, Chet.
