Q.How can silence improve
the quality of my life?
A.Silence
helps us to enjoy life. It helps us
to reflect
and to examine our thoughts and actions without
judgment.
It places our noisy, obligation-filled life in perspective.
Through reflection, we learn self-understanding and
how
to live creatively and responsibly. The appreciation
for silence replaces the need for addictive thoughts and activities.
When we love silence, there is no reason to run away from our thoughts
and fears. Meditation brings unspeakable peace.
Q. Is it helpful to combine meditation with psychotherapy?
A. Yes. Most people do not understand the relationship between the two. However, Peter Bloch and MeditateNow offer a unique form of psychotherapy, called Meditation Therapy, which enhances meditation and which is more effective when you combine the therapy with meditation.
