Silence is often portrayed as calm, meditative, and serene.

But for many, silence brings restlessness… anxiety… memories… emotions… and an urge to escape.

Why?

What if silence isn’t peaceful because it was never safe for us to feel it?

In this episode of Beyond the Known, Amit Hunjan — The Sound Alchemist — opens a deeply honest and rarely explored conversation about why silence feels uncomfortable, unsettling, or even threatening, especially for those on a healing or spiritual path.

This episode explores how silence doesn’t create discomfort — it reveals what has been stored.

Unprocessed emotions. Old nervous-system patterns. Learned survival responses. Forgotten grief. Unspoken truths.

Through slow reflection, lived insight, and gentle self-inquiry, this conversation guides you into understanding:

• ​why stillness can activate fear before peace
• ​how early experiences shape our relationship with quiet
• ​why silence dissolves identity and control
• ​and how learning to feel safe in stillness becomes a doorway to deep inner trust

This is not a guided meditation.

This is not a teaching.

It is an invitation.

An invitation to meet silence not as emptiness —

but as intimacy with yourself.

If you’ve ever struggled with meditation, rest, or slowing down…

if quiet moments feel heavy instead of peaceful…

if you sense that silence is trying to show you something —

this episode is for you.

Listen gently.

Pause when needed.

Let the silence meet you where you are.
