The Harmonies of Silence

Adventures in the Unseen World

There is sound in silence. It is as if I am experiencing a noiseless vibration. There is no melody, no tone that is loud or soft, there is simply a steady tone – of silence. And it has a rhythm all its own.

What are the Harmonies of Silence?

It was on a shamanic journey that I heard the phrase “Harmonies of Silence.” The message was “Add your harmony to the golden choir. The over-arching choir, the Universal Choir. Make your tones as clear as you can. Speak only the words that resonate with your inner-self. I hear a sound. It is the harmonies of silence, the harmonies of nature. Be still and immerse yourself in the silence and receive the messages.”

The Harmonies of Nature

I immediately wanted to figure out what that meant. Perhaps it refers to my inner ear that I cannot hear. Perhaps it means my breathing which is silent because I am sitting still. If I were outside I might hear the wind moving through the trees. I might hear a nearby insect or rain tapping on a surface. There is powerful silence in the falling of snow. It transforms the world without a sound. Those are very gentle sounds of silence. Those are some of the harmonies of silence. But as soft as they are, they can be heard by the body suit ear.

So perhaps we think of those as the “Harmonies of Nature.” Water can be heard tapping on a window. The sound of the moment of an ocean has a rhythm to it, like breathing in and breathing out. A mountain stream giggles and gurgles as it races along. There can be a great deal of sound in the movement of water. And that sound fits into one harmonious pattern or existence. Nature is full of harmony.

What are the harmonies of silence?

Our thoughts are part of the Harmonies of Silence. My dear sweet wonderful mind that can get so carried away with ideas can be very loud sometimes. As I sit here in stillness, my inner voice is part of the Harmon of Silence.

What about touch? Is it part of the Harmonies of Silence? The soft fur of my cat cuddling beside me is part of the Harmony of Silence. He is silent in his sleep, and I am aware of the vibration of his being. I can’t hear it, but I can feel it.

So is feeling a part of the Harmonies of Silence? Yes.

Emotion is very powerful. It can greatly influence how we feel and respond and react. Feelings are also a part of the Harmonies of Silence.

None of those elements make a sound – until they are expressed. Love is silent, anger is silent, curiosity is silent, confusion is silent. And yet those are very powerful harmonies in the energy of silence.

Align with the Harmonies of Silence

I do not move through my entire day aligned with the energy of silence because I do not stay mindful of its existence. I have my mind, I have my emotions, I may even have a physical plane interaction with another energy being in a body suit. But at the core of me, at the core of everything, there is silence. And in that field of silence, there is harmony – active vibrations, different volumes, changing rhythms and even occasional melodies. How do I become aware of them? What do I do with them?

Cultivate the Harmonies of Silence

I have quieting techniques to sprinkle throughout my day to keep me calm and centered – deliberate pauses to breathe, a contemplative look out the window, mindful moments in which to be silent and inwardly focused.

I have choice in how I interact when another body suit shows up and we exchange energy.

But my main job is to stay centered and harmonious in the Harmonies of Silence.

I do that through awareness and choice. Awareness that there is harmony in silence and choice to be aligned with it.

Where I look creates harmony

The harmonies of silence can be very subtle. I must teach myself to be aware of them.

Watching the sunset aligns me with the Harmonies of Silence.

Watching the tree branches gradually bend with the weight of snow is part of the Harmonies of Silence.

When I pause to experience the serene energy of my home, I hear the Harmonies of Silence.

I feel the Hormones of Silence when I hold a crystal in my hand and feel and experience its message.

I feel Harmonies in Silence when a phrase captures my attention and sparks an idea.

Pause to listen – and hear

Listen to the Harmony of Silence that surrounds you – wherever you are. Listen to the background sound. Listen to the vibration of your soul energy. A simple moment of awareness helps you hear the harmonies of silence.

The silence within is a sacred silence. When we notice it, it calms us. When we experience it, we are aware of our own all-encompassing energy and our intertwined connection with the being-ness of the universe.

Now that’s something to listen to!

Sit in silence. Be present in silence. Be still and immerse yourself in the silence and receive the messages.

Then you will hear the Harmonies of Silence.
