The Quiet Power of Stillness, Breath, and Being
Greetings..
🌬️ “Sometimes, silence isn’t empty... it’s full of answers.” 🌬️
In a noisy world, where speed and sound fill every second — there lies a forgotten gift: stillness.
Emotions pass out of a cloudy sky. My faith is conscious breathing.”
In the book “The Miracle of Mindfulness” by Thích Nhất Hạnh, the author — a Vietnamese monk and peace activist — gently teaches us:
“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”
This post isn’t about thinking more. It’s about thinking less.
Or more clearly — it’s about pausing, breathing, and allowing the mind to rest.
We live in a world that is an addict of action scroll, reply, work, rush.
And when last you lay Down, with yourself, and Sat In the silence?
No music.
No notifications.
Nothing but your breath.
Your presence.
Your being.
That is stillness.
And inside it lives something powerful — clarity.
Stillness allows us to notice the noise within.
The stress we ignored. The tightness in our chest. The thoughts we’ve buried.
And through gentle breathing, we don’t fight those things — we just observe them.
🌿 Try this simple practice now:
Close your eyes.
Inhale through your nose — 4 seconds.
Hold — 4 seconds.
Exhale slowly through your mouth — 6 seconds.
Repeat 3 times.
Feel that?
The lesson of stillness is like this:
Everything does not require a response.
Not all thoughts are facts.
All the emotions do not have to be explained.
Not all pains must be solved at the moment.
And then the strongest healing often starts, sometimes it starts… when we stop trying to attain healing.
Your challenge today:
Find 10 minutes of pure silence.
Sit. Breathe. Do nothing.
Let your mind wander. Let emotions rise. Let stillness wrap around you. 😌
Then write down one thing you noticed — about yourself.
Until tomorrow...
In the calm, you’ll meet your real self — gentle, aware, and alive.
Stay soft. Stay silent. Stay centered. 🕊️💖
