Space Silence
(The
Last Exercise of Space Therapy)
Abstinence from talking causes physical silence. But what matter is the
inner silence. Once a week or at least once a month abstain from talking the
whole day. this increases physical power of the body and mind.
Why to do physical silence?
Doing all the awareness increasing exercises, we will find that we maintain
the state of awareness and aware of our thoughts. However we would notice
that while talking we lose track of the state. The final practice then would
be to have awareness even while talking. But to attain this, one needs this
final practice of abstaining from talking or maintaining physical silence.
Initial step is to abstain from talking for one whole day. If any urgent
message is to be conveyed, it is written on a paper and handed over. But
overtime make sure that on that day you also abstain from doing any work.
While doing this abstaining from talking, the important point to be noted is
to decrease the intensity of the thoughts that arise in the mind. Keep
dismissing any thought that arises in the mind. The nature of mind is its
meandering means. From one thought it jumps into another like a monkey
jumping from one tree to another. The mind associates one thought to the
another as if it were very logical. Example if it see a car, then the
thought of Toyota or Honda leads to Japan or New York, then it leads to a
statue of liberty or Hiroshima bombing. From there it leads to world war and
so on. In the above example, stay with the thought of the car itself, never
allow the mind to get into the thought of Japan or New York. Nib it before
it jumps into later thoughts.
This should be the objective of the silence therapy or space therapy. As we
have mentioned several times that though the size of the brain
is only 20% of the whole body, it consumes more than 40% of energy even at
rest, then imagine while actively thinking. This energy will be conserved
for the body as well as for healing and repairing body damages.
