Why do people care about contacting the state of stillness and silence within? There are actually many benefits—here are a few:
· Peace of mind
· Reduction of stress
· Reduction of identification with thoughts and as a result, with the false sense of self
· Understanding the unmanifest nature of consciousness and the unity of all form on a deep, experiential level
· Getting unstuck—if even for a short time—from the thought process, thereby allowing the bigger picture to emerge
· Allowing intuition and insights to emerge
· Learning to feel the subtle, nonverbal messages; developing sensitivity
· Practice of entering the stillness allows it to be more accessible during the day
· Development of compassion, lessening of judgment
· Authentic happiness and well-being flow from this place; diving beneath the thought-layer allows them to flow unimpeded (this has been called “taking your foot off the hose”)
· Learning to trust the still, small voice
· Gradual shift to a higher, more inclusive level of consciousness
· Become infused with light from within as the layers of thought and emotion loosen up
· Understanding that life and feelings come from within, not without, equals empowerment
