As many of us work hard to detox from the adverse effects of pollution and inflammation, stress and overload, this expert offers a simple piece of advice that can heal and change you. Find out why silence really is golden, and how it can help you to heal.
Today, with all the manifold pressures and chronic stress of modern life, many people seem to have acquired a “motor mouth” syndrome. But constant chatter drains away vital energy and depletes your “bio-batteries.” Since energy is the fundamental fuel required to detox, repair, and rebalance the human body, it doesn’t make sense to needlessly waste this vital resource by spewing it out of your mouth in a fountain of words. It’s far better to remain silent and focus your energy inward for healing purposes. As a Taoist Sage once said, “Forget about words and your energy won’t scatter.”
