Why Is It That Being Quiet Is The Most Cost-Effective Medicine?
We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox― Nicholas Sparks
Medicine has come a long way in the understanding of our bodies and their functions. There are many different types of Medicine, from western allopathic Medicine to eastern alternative treatments such as acupuncture. But while there is much disagreement on what type of treatment works best, I think we can all agree that Silence is a potent tool for healing.
There are several reasons why silence is so beneficial for healing the mind or body ailments.
First, Silence allows us to truly focus on ourselves and our thoughts without distraction. When we are silent, there are no external stimuli or sounds to draw our attention away from whatever we need to be focusing on– whether that’s meditating, praying, thinking through a troubling situation, or just taking a break from the hectic outside world.
Second, Silence has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels in our minds and bodies. When we are stressed or anxious, many parts of our body experience changes – for example, blood pressure increases and heart rate increases. These increased physiological changes lead to a rise in inflammation in the body. Inflammation is an underlying cause of many diseases, from cancer to arthritis to heart disease. By reducing stress and anxiety through Silence, these inflammatory responses also tend to decrease, leading to better health overall.
Thirdly, by engaging in regular periods of Silence (through meditation or deep breathing exercises), we create neural pathways that will help us focus more easily and feel calmer in our day-to-day lives. When we concentrate on silence and stillness, the amygdala (the part of the brain responsible for fight-or-flight responses) begins to quiet down. Over time, with regular practice, our brains become better at remaining calm even when faced with stressful situations – meaning we’re less likely to experience adverse health effects due to stress.
So why is it that Silence is so often underrated as a form of Medicine? I think part of the reason is that it’s free – anyone can benefit from spending some time in Silence every day without spending any money on treatments or therapies. Additionally, there are no side effects.

One of the main benefits of Silence is that it can help to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure is a common problem in today’s society, and it can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Fortunately, research has shown that spending time in Silence can lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Another benefit of Silence is that it can help to promote a sense of calm and inner peace. Our lives are busy these days, and we often don’t take the time to slow down and be still. But taking this time is essential for our overall well-being; otherwise, we risk burning out or becoming overwhelmed by the constant stressors.
Silence also has a powerful effect on the mind. It allows us to clear our thoughts and focus on what is truly important. It can be challenging to find this quiet space inside ourselves in a world that is constantly bombarding us with information and noise. But when we create this space for ourselves, we can reconnect with our inner wisdom and make decisions based on what truly matters to us.
So if you’re looking for a cheap form of Medicine, Silence may be just what you need. Whether you choose to spend time meditating or take some time away from your busy schedule, you will likely find that it helps improve your health and well-being. So why not try it today?
