Healing Power of Silence

Sunday, 3 - 3:45 pm, Lecture Room 1

Lecture is Free with General Admission

Our towns and cities are loud with the sounds of perpetual endeavour.  The car is much less a servant and more a tyrant, technology less a tool and more a dependency, the clock is less a measure and more our master.  People rush from meeting to meeting, from keyboard to console, from shop to cinema with less time than ever to give each other.  Increasingly, we fill the urge to escape the pressures that seem to assail us with activity and noise that we believe will relax us, but more often only further distracts our mind and agitates our heart.  There comes a point however, when we recognise an inner call that pulls us back towards simplicity.  A feeling tugs our heart, and at the core of this feeling is a power more magnetic than anything that industry or city life have to offer – the simple healing power of silence. Silence is the very ground of creation and the ultimate source of creativity. It is this unseen and unfelt silence that holds together the canvas that is the multidimensional backdrop of our daily lives.

Learn how to sit on the seat of stillness and heal with the power of silence.
