We live in a world of overwhelming noise, “mistaking stress for aliveness.” It’s the outward distraction of media and technology. It’s the spinning internal thoughts that won’t let you go. Noise is everywhere. Here authors Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz share insights from their new book, Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise. They share practices for the non-meditator to find silence in everyday places. Learn to experience the golden moments of silence that allow you to move into presence, intention, and calm.
We also discuss how to find silence in busy family life. Something we all desire. Let’s get out of the hamster wheel of thoughts and to-dos. Listen in.
Silence is Golden
