David Gandelman, a meditation teacher, author and founder of Meditation School, guides this Grounded Silence meditation, a practice that may help you experience mental calm.
A note from Sean
Silence is a teaching. Some of my favorite teachers leave long stretches of quiet, even in the middle of a talk, and let us show up for whatever is there, tears or contentment.
Try this today. Before you press play, take one minute of quiet. Feel your feet on the floor and the weight of your body on the chair. Let the sounds around you come and go without naming them.
Keep going: Listening to the Sound of Silence and Still Quiet Place Within.
This suits anyone who wants a quieter pause in a busy day. Quiet can stir things up. If it does, go gently: open your eyes and listen to the room. Stop when you need to.
