The Value Of Silence

What is scarier: sitting in silence or the fact that you are afraid to sit in silence?

In this episode of The Reality Check Podcast I discuss how technology has granted us the ability to endlessly occupy the space that was once filled with silence. The benefits of which are obvious: education, entertainment, content and connection - but at what cost? What do we lose by blocking off access to such a fundamental aspect of the human condition?

This was such a great podcast to share here on Insight Timer. I went on a silent retreat, probably 40 years ago and it was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever experienced. I wanted to go on another one many many times, but there are none that I Have found that are close enough for me to attend. I live close to our nations capital but most of the ones I see are on the west side of our country. I wish I could find something closer. I feel it’s an amazing experience. If by chance you know of any that are on the Eastern coast near the mid Atlantic in the USA please let me know because I would be super interested in attending. thank you as always for this amazing journey
