Mom was a quiet child, but so quiet that the girls at school thought it was strange. I was able to spend a whole day at school without speaking a word, I think that's why Mom talks so much in adulthood! When you were a child, why did you think to talk? The words made sense if it were to tell a joke, sing, praise, tell a beautiful story.
In adolescence everything changed, talking was good, was it popular, being funny? Even more! Suddenly, as an adult, Mom knew meditation, which is about quieting the mind. To speak what is necessary for a better world, not to gossip, to speak what feeds the spirit, which brings a smile, which is pleasant to hear.
Great challenge! Use the word in a noble, non-violent way, in order to produce and spread peace. Understand why we speak without thinking, speak from the outside, speak to not feel alone, speak to calm down, speak to give the impression that something has already been done, say what you want, say what you don't want, say to complain. Talk Talk talk.
How many times do we give ourselves the right to keep silent ?! Mom wants to teach you to be silent baby, but for me it is very difficult even knowing that when silence appears, it is noble, observes, calms feelings, feeds vital energy, shows the truth and strengthens us. I will not turn on the car radio today, nor watch TV, just for today I prefer to teach you silence!
