Guided Meditation on Noble Silence. Sounds reveal the silence

A guided meditation/reflection consists of a sentence or two followed by silence for 20-30 seconds. Transcribed, edited and adapted from Sunday evening session with SanghaLive. See link at end of text.

Ensure that you are seated with both feet firmly on the floor or crossed legged while maintaining an upright posture. Focus on establishing a state of complete quiet and stillness, without the use of any meditation methods or techniques.

GUIDED MEDITATION ON NOBLE SILENCE

Hosted by SanghaLive

Rest in the stillness and silence to ground the being in preparation for worthwhile action, caring and meaningful.

Be mindful of the experience of any minimal movements arising as you sit.

Noble silence provides support for those who wish to speak to you. Your silence acknowledges those dwelling in silence.

Receptivity to silence offers a valuable resource fostering stillness and will serve to express wisdom in our voice and actions.

The majesty of noble silence and stillness. Dartmoor, Devon, England

In the depth, sounds travel through the silence.

Noble silence serves as a reminder of the connection with the depth of our being, eliminating the need to elaborate storytelling.

In silence, there is no ongoing narrative, nor indulgence in views, with no wasting of precious energy in unhelpful mental activity.

Our energy channels focus on the mind at rest, which deepens our silence and stillness.

We experience a subtle vitality, delicate sensations and vibrations of the entire being in this profound state of restfulness.

There is no need for intentional, deliberate efforts to dissolve the I, self, ego or thought construction.

In the silence, letting go becomes a natural and organic process arising from our connection with silence and stillness.

The act of letting go includes memories, plans, and daydreams often associated with blind spots and stress.

Receptivity to noble silence and stillness reveal as significant elements as our receptivity deepens.

This receptivity gives access to fresh insights, alternative perspectives and original expressions of understanding.

Such clarity and insights facilitate skilful engagement and action.

We adopt periods of silence and meditative stillness, not for our own benefit, but to create space for realisations differing from our old views.

We bring ethics, calm and clarity to our global actions. This is love characterised with a purity of intention.

Such love abides independent of reciprocity and confirmation from the other.

Noble silence supports love and liberation enabling us to move freely in the world to engage with life.

Love serves as a conduit between deep rest and deep service including our capacity to learn from errors of judgement.

The act of remaining silent can show a sign of respect and consideration.

We know the time when it is important to speak up on important matters without ongoing repetition and the time to abide in noble silence.

Noble silence can convey our respect and consideration for others.

A deep silence serves as a doorway to a liberating truth.

Thank you.

Two Upcoming Insight Meditation Retreats in Germany. 31 July to 4 August. 4-9 August 2023. Do join. A single sentence can change a life

Held at the Waldhaus Zentrum, near Andernach. See flyer with text

I am off to Germany next week to give two insight meditation retreats near Andernach in Germany starting in late July 2023.

Time for Silence. Time for Teachings. Time for our Interior Life. Time for Nature.

Why go to a silent retreat? See info and flyer in text. Why Go to a Silent Retreat?

You are very welcome to join.

We develop mindfulness/meditation in four postures. Why? Because we spend most of our life in of the four postures – sit, walk, stand and recline.

We reflect. Why? We have experiences in relationship to past, present and future to squeeze the honey out of these experiences – to quote the Buddha. This means uncover the insights to change habitual ways of thinking or develop fresh ways of living.

We go deep. Why? To expand consciousness, to listen to the depth and live with a liberating wisdom.

Wake up at 6 am. End of day 21.30. Nutritious food. Glorious nature. Beautiful people.

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators.

You can also email me about the retreat itself. christopher@insightmeditation.org

Please email the centre for administrative details. See flyers.

Thank you.

See you soon,

Love

Christopher
