Silence is a teacher in the experience of presence
Silence is part of a conversation. Everyone can invite silence.
Learning to lead with the heart by default invites silence.
The heart needs the space to arrive in a different way to the mind.
The willingness to hold silence is powerful.
A moment of silence can allow us to ground ourselves.
To regulate our nervous system.
It can help rebalancing of power in a conversation.
And when we are able to witness another's human experience in silence. That's healing.
Silence is a necessary part of a conversation.
To invite presence.
To explore reflection.
To allow words to land in the space around us.
Silence is the oft unacknowledged participant and teacher in the experience of presence.
I am grateful that today, more often than not, I am in spaces where we can take a collective breath and cherish moments of silence.
What about you? Where in your conversations this week can you invite silence to find new wisdom?
