Silence in a Noisy World<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>We constantly live in a noisy world today. All the time we hear traffic snarls, blaring sirens, and the churning of machines. There are beeps of incoming messages on smartphones and laptops and overly loud music on personal stereos. Even the places like bookstores, cafes, movie halls, or libraries, once considered havens of silence, are not immune to the incessant ringing, roaring, buzzing, or clicking. In such a scenario, it\u2019s difficult to imagine a workplace that is all calm and peaceful. But the question we need to ask is what and who can make a working environment peaceful. The answer is \u2018calmer the minds, quieter the working environment\u2019.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Experiences of Tranquility: Finding Silence Amidst Chaos<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Delhi-based Priya Sharma, an IT professional, has been going to Cha Bar in Connaught Place, a library-cum-caf\u00e9. \u201cI have been frequenting this caf\u00e9 ever since I took up my job. After a noise-filled day, this place gives me a sense of calm and I experience a deep silence here. All you have to do is sit in a corner with a book, whether you read it or not,\u201d says Priya. But there are also people out there who find complete silence unsettling and uncomfortable, which is a side effect of living in a clamored world.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Silence in Society: Observations and Traditions<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>It is commonly noticed that silence is observed with much planning and with an ordinance on some occasions like observing a minute of silence after a tragic event. On November 11th, many countries observe a two-minute silence to remember those who have died in World Wars. In India, every year on January 30th, on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, two minutes of silence is observed at 11 am throughout the country in memory of Mahatma Gandhi and those who were martyred in India\u2019s freedom struggle.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Beyond Physical Silence: The Silence of the Mind<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>On the other hand, it is also a mark of punishment during which silence is imposed on someone, making silence seem awkward. But let us ponder, where is the silence during such moments? Is the mere absence of noise known as silence? Even if so, the physical noise might be getting subsided, but what about our minds, are they silent too? In this noisy, restless, and bewildering age, there is a great need for the silence of the mind.<\/p><h2><strong><em>The Value of Silence: Insights from Traditions and Thinkers<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Silence is often equated with doing nothing or with an idle mind, which is further equated with a devil\u2019s workshop. Therefore, silence is not valued and since it is not valued, it is not developed either. But Indian tradition and spiritual seekers have long intuitively grasped the value of silence reflecting in sayings such as, \u201cSpeech is silver, silence is golden.\u201d On a full moon day in May, when Buddha got enlightened, he kept silent for a long time. Despite the insistence of angels to speak something at least, he remained silent proving that words cannot capture existence, but silence can. When Jesus was asked to prove, &#8220;Are you the son of God?&#8221; he kept silent. Martin Farquhar Tupper, a 19th-century English poet and philosopher too understood the value of silence and wrote, \u201cWell-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.\u201d<\/p><h2><strong><em>Navigating Workplace Stress: The Connection Between Calmness and Productivity<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>There\u2019s no denying the fact that it\u2019s not easy to be calm when there\u2019s chaos all around you. Workplace stress has never been higher than today. There are many situations at the workplace during the course of a day that can make us lose our cool: getting into an argument, making a mistake in plain view, having to listen to criticism, dealing with bad news or facing a looming project deadline with everyone involved moving way too slowly, growing complexity of most industries and even in relations, and many more.<\/p><p>Whatever the reason, it\u2019s never been tougher to stay calm at work and still excel. But staying stressed at the workplace is no solution either. To survive and excel, we need to find ways to deal with pressure and uncertainty. There are several scientific studies done that show the deep connection between staying calm and productivity. Calmness of the mind is one of the beautiful and necessary conditions for the jewels of wisdom to settle. It is said that the more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.<\/p><h2><strong><em>The Art of Silence: Embracing Silence for Personal and Professional Growth<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>In late 1939 after the outbreak of World War II, the British government designed a number of morale-boosting posters preempting the eventual mass bombings of the United Kingdom. One such poster read, \u201cKeep Calm and Carry On.\u201d That\u2019s what we need to do today when our inner and outer worlds are in perpetual states of war.<\/p><p>In a world where many are overwhelmed with everything there is to do, that silent pause is critical for life, health, relations, and work efficiency. Neurophysiological research suggests that the United States annually loses a million years of healthy life because of noise. Scientists conducting research on the health effects of noise actually stumbled on a surprise truth &#8211; silence is more than just the lack of noise pollution. It&#8217;s an active good that has profound positive effects on us physiologically and psychologically.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Creativity Unleashed: The Connection Between Silence and Imagination<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Psychotherapists talk of the creative value of silence in their practices as do many musical composers and practitioners. We need silence and stillness to become our true selves and to be truly happy. Chetan Godbole from Mumbai realized that observing silence for a day ignites his creativity. \u201cWhen I want to create new work, I go into silence for a full 24 hours. Free from the chatter of the world, my mind creates a thousand ideas and one of them clicks definitely.\u201d Well-known writer Kafka once described his creative process \u201cWriting is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself.\u201d But why and how does it happen? Silence enables us to listen to our inner voice and to detect our unique methods of thinking. It gives us a chance to understand ourselves better.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Meditation as a Path to Silence: Science and Spirituality<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Intellectuals, thinkers, poetry writers, inventors, and creators in all fields always seek absolute silence and a quiet environment so that they could work comfortably and get inspiration. Imagination also springs from silence. \u201cSilence and quiet are to an artist, an author, or inventor, etc., what fertilizer is to crops,\u201d writes Cuckson. Research is showing that a regular meditation practice of just 10 minutes each day can bring about amazing and noticeable differences in individuals, teams, and overall business success.<\/p><p>Often meditation is understood as some kind of tough practice where you need to close your eyes and sit for long hours in one position without thinking. But meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. Watching your breath is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation.<\/p><p>A Tibetan Lama was being monitored on a brain scan machine by a scientist wishing to test physiological functions during deep meditation. The scientist said &#8211; &#8220;Very good Sir. The machine shows that you are able to go very deep in brain relaxation, and that validates your meditation.&#8221; &#8220;No,&#8221; said the Lama, &#8220;This (pointing to his brain) validates the machine!&#8221;<\/p><h2><strong><em>Rajyog Meditation: A Path to Inner Silence and Transformation<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Various types of meditation are in vogue today. Some schools only teach concentration techniques, some relaxation, and others teach free form contemplative activities like just sitting and awaiting absorption. With regular practice of a balanced series of techniques, the energy of the body and mind can be liberated, and the quality of consciousness can be expanded. This is not a subjective claim but is now being investigated by the scientists and being shown by an empirical fact.<\/p><p>Rajyog Meditation, practiced at the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, is a form of meditation that is performed without rituals or mantras and can be practiced anywhere at any time. Rajyoga word has been derived from \u2018raja\u2019 meaning king and \u2018yoga\u2019 meaning union. This union is mainly explored at 3 levels- the union of the self with the self which is a Soul (spiritual energy), between self and Supreme Soul (ocean of spiritual energy) and then between other Souls. The practice of Rajyog Meditation aims to impart king-like qualities of confidence, better awareness, good decision-making skills, and independence. With its regular practice overall well-being is maximized and rapid stress reduction takes place. Also, Rajyog meditation increases productivity. It also helps de-escalate tense circumstances because it enhances creative problem-solving skills and improves communication.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Transformative Power of Silence: Navigating Anxiety and Stress<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Anxious thoughts can be overwhelming making it difficult to make decisions and take action to deal with whatever issue bothers you. Anxiety also leads to overthinking making you even more anxious. Rajyog actually teaches you how to give your thoughts a right direction. Stop being fused with your thoughts. Think of your thoughts passing through your mind as moving objects on a conveyor belt, from which you have to choose the one appropriate for you, rather than the objective truth about a situation.<\/p><p>Our brains are hypersensitive to threat and danger because this kept our ancestors alive in the wild. Some of your thoughts may just be automatic conditioned reactions generated by a brain that is oriented to survival. Choose whether or not to believe these thoughts, rather than just accepting them. Secondly, see what type of thought you are having, rather than paying attention to its content. Watch your thoughts and when you notice a judgment (e.g., how good or bad the situation is), then label it as \u2018judging\u2019. If you notice a worry (e.g., that you will be criticized for your decision in a meeting) label it as \u2018worrying\u2019. If you are criticizing yourself, label it as \u2018criticizing\u2019. This gets you away from the literal content of your thoughts and gives you more awareness of your mental processes.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Living in the Present: The Art of Staying Mindful<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Do you want to be spending your time judging and worrying? Ask your intellect, if there are less judgmental or worried ways to see the situation. Sometimes most of us focus too narrowly on the threatening aspects of a situation, rather than seeing the whole picture. It happens when anxiety makes our minds contract and focus on the immediate threat without considering the broader context. Always check if the situation really is as important as your anxiety says it is? Will you still care about this problem in 5 or 10 years? If not, then ease up on the worry. Also, think if the circumstances, or your knowledge and coping abilities, have changed since the last time.<\/p><p>As an adult, you have more choice about whom to associate with and more ability to identify, preempt, or leave a bad situation than when you were a child or teenager. Rajyog Meditation also helps you to stay in the present and not wander between the past and the future. Staying in the present means focusing on your present thoughts and tasks making your tasks finish before the round of the clock. It also makes us more aware and cautious of our feelings rather than avoiding them. Feelings are momentary. Rather than feeling helpless or trying to distract yourself, you may realize that they are not going to kill you and that they will eventually pass.<\/p><h2><strong><em>Self-Realization and Empowerment: The Role of Rajyog Meditation<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>Watching feelings rise and fall in your mind, gives you a sense of them as transient experiences, rather than as who you are in essence. With the help of Rajyog Meditation, you are able to lift the veil of self-deception which subsequently goes a long way towards getting you focused on the right track, which is \u2013 the track of self-realization. Having your staff or employees spend moments of silence during their workday could be the key to turning your business or performance around in many more ways than just getting a little peace and quiet. But let\u2019s admit that like any habit, to bring about this change takes time and effort.<\/p><p>Therefore, you may likely be uncomfortable for a while. It takes time to change your brain pathways and to have other people notice you are different and behave differently towards you. Like losing a lot of weight, you have to work hard for a long time before seeing noticeable results. But don\u2019t just give up. Besides time and effort, it also needs the power to bring about any change in the thinking pattern. In Rajyog meditation, you get the power from the Supreme Soul to change your thoughts and behavior. It\u2019s a silent and the most effective way to get the powers and bring about a change in yourself and others as well. With powers bestowed upon you from Him, you no longer avoid uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or situations by zoning out, not showing up, addictions, anger, or procrastinating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b2348cb elementor-share-buttons--view-icon elementor-share-buttons--skin-minimal
