Initially, noise, movement and visual appearances are primary. They are what’s happening, after all! They are the entirety of experience. They are where attention flows. It takes a lot of energy to be absorbed in all of that moving, changing chaos, but we rarely notice.

 

Eventually, the foreground might move to the background and the background to the foreground. Silence, stillness, and an emptiness that is the essence of everything becomes apparent.

 

This becomes apparent in prolonged silence. It can become apparent in other ways, I’m sure. 

 

In this episode, I share how this foreground/background shift has happened and point you to listen for the silence and sense the stillness at the center of everything.

 

If you would like to plug into this deep, still, silence with me for a week, please check out my retreats. It will be a very profound experience of what never changes, no matter what comes and goes throughout the week. dramyjohnson.com/silentretreat
