    To whoever is reading this, I hope you heal from the things you don’t speak about. I hope you find peace within your day. If all you did was get out of bed today, have a glass of water, or even just did whatever you could, just know that’s the best you could do at that moment and that’s okay. Everyone sleep well and I hope the waves of relaxation wash over you. Sending love and healing and light to all of you.

    Five times to be silent: 1) to engine in mindfulness; 2) when in anger; 3) when approached with gossip or slander; 4) during conflict; 5) in times of suffering to others

      Have no regrets nor wish you did something different.
      What happened was exactly how it was supposed to happen, we reacted with the tools and knowledge we had at that time.
      All we have is the present moment, and we can make changes from this moment on.
      Don't waste energy in regret and things we cannot change. We can use that energy in positive changes from this moment on.
      You're human and you are going to stumble, and that's okay; dust yourself off, forgive yourself and move forward :)
      We are not strangers; we are all brothers and sisters dealing with the struggles and challenges of being human. We have all experienced regret, insecurity, fear, anxiety, depression, lost loved ones etc. Most of us have probably experienced loneliness. None of asked to be brought into this world, but here we are :)

      Buddhism emphasizes that everything is impermanent, meaning nothing lasts forever. Have you ever thought about how impermanence can help us deal with change and loss in life? How can accepting impermanence bring freedom instead of fear?"

      Compassion is not only directed toward others but also toward ourselves. Do you often practice self-compassion when dealing with mistakes or failures? Buddhism teaches that self-compassion can lead to freedom from suffering-what do you think of this, and how can you apply it in your life?"

    No more wismatic words could be offered. I practice this advice always. I learned this from working in a job where difficult people used confrontation as a tool to get what they wanted and I needed to respect my employer by doing the job of maintaiining a positive relationship without say, giving away the store. Even a pause can be enough time of silence to redirect a conversation. You will develop overtime how much silence is necessary and whether it's for active listening or for preparing your response or a cooling off or calming down period for all parties involved. Silence is golden and it can be like gold for you too. Even when it's time to walk away from a purposeless point. ❤✌️

    00:00 🤫 Silence, often overlooked, holds transformative power in crucial situations, according to Buddhist teachings.
    01:10 🌱 Silence isn't mere absence of noise; it's a gateway to inner peace, self-awareness, and mindfulness, offering space for deeper understanding.
    02:21 ⚡ Silence when angry is a potent antidote; it allows reflection, preventing impulsive actions, and shields against harming oneself and others.
    08:59 🔇 Choosing silence in the face of gossip and slander aligns with right speech principles, preventing harm and fostering compassion in communication.
    14:08 🤐 Silence during conflicts encourages empathy, active listening, and mindfulness, aiming for resolution beyond ego-driven desires.
    19:21 🤝 Silence, when witnessing others' suffering, communicates empathy and respect, offering a space for solace and compassionate presence.
    22:35 🕊 Embracing silence during personal suffering fosters self-compassion, introspection, and the acceptance of pain as part of growth and self-discovery.
    25:22 🧘‍♂ Silent mindfulness in these crucial situations empowers personal transformation, nurturing compassion and contributing to a more harmonious world.

      @dameanvil, I’d love for my 2 adult children to read some of what u’ve timestamped, beginning with 14:08 and down to 22:35. I’m the one suffering and they NEVER REALLY LISTEN. There’s major conflict going on right now between both of my kids and me. I’m so tired of trying to just be heard and I finally broke and did more damage, probably destroying any relationship with my son. I didn’t say anything to my daughter as of yet but she’s as bad as my son. I’m always the silent one which they take as my being stupid or weak or whatever and I continue to get belittled until I break. I did break and said a lot of mean things to my son, all I said is true, but he can’t accept any type of criticism, yet I’m supposed to. He never looks at himself (neither does my daughter). I could go on but I won’t, I would just love to know when enough is enough and how to deal with these situations. HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE. Everyone has a breaking point.
      None of what’s going on wouldn’t have ever began if they just LISTEN and really HEAR ME, and also if they could admit when they’re wrong and stop thinking they know everything and how to do everything.
      I’m their mother and I hate what’s happened.
      They, especially he right now, needs to read those timestamps I mentioned!!!
      Thanks for breaking this video down, and I’m sorry for my rant😢❤

I am not a Buddhist but a Christian but I am sure God feels all these teachings are correct and God like no matter what you reason. From this minute forward I will adhere to all I learned and I am sure I will be happier, more peaceful and loved because I will promote more love to those around me. Love breeds love.

    Very true. In silence we understand the depth of the world around us and its impact upon us. It allows people to pass thru the hardship of the moment and learn the lessons the hardship provides. There is silence in the void, and it is the void that gives us the opportunity to self-reflect and process the hardship for a harmonious outcome.

      It’s a good one. Not the best, though.
      The best cure for anger is rational thinking. This video actually covers this.
      Anger is a mask for other emotions. Realizing what’s behind the mask, (sadness, frustration, disappointment), can help to make the answers to them, clearer.

      “To” is only a direction. “I have to go to work.”

    Silence--interpreted and used as a nonaggressive tool--can come back to bite you in the butt.
    I had two elderly men--one living on either side of me (mobile home park)--and one constantly complained to the other about my behavior to him.
    That particular elderly man did not like how I ran my life--I did animal rescue and I am a Master Gardener. He finally made me so goofy with his daily complaining, that when I drove into my drive after work, I would hastily stop the car, jump out and rush inside.
    He started waiting at the drive, for me to drive in. I had to get 'creative'.
    When I drove into my drive, I RUSHED into my house. Then, I was forced into parking around the corner.
    The situation was becoming untenable. I was not able to even be in my yard to water, etc. I knew he was probably getting into dementia, possibly Alzheimer's, but his one daughter was part of the problem. The oldest daughter just kept apologizing to me, but couldn't make him or her sister stop.
    So, one day, I figured the only way to reclaim my boundaries, sanity and space was to completely ignore him.
    And, ignore him I did. Total silence, as if he was not at my car or at my door or coming around the MH, as I was throwing out my trash bags.
    Literally, he just had to stand there and speak to himself. I got so I could go about my business and not know he was there or hear a word he said.
    One day, his friend, the other elderly neighbor, called me over to his house. Like an accommodating and behaving fool, I went. He proceeded to tell me I had a major problem.
    I asked him what would that problem be?
    He replied that my 'tactics' using psychology in regards to my neighbor were beneath a 'loving' neighbor (me) and that I needed to cease and desist my efforts.
    I told him he was going to have to define his use of 'my brand of psychology'.
    So, he did--it was my use of passive-aggressive behavior towards and against the other elderly man, who was only trying to be a 'good' neighbor.
    My reply was short, sweet and very terse: "You don't know what the phque you are talking about."
    At that point, I turned around and calmly walked back home.
    THAT elderly neighbor spent the next year trying to regain my respect for him, within my now very cold passive-aggressive behavior towards HIM! He did finally ask me to 'forgive' him, but I believe that in the few minutes it took for him to say it, he pulled five teeth out of his own mouth!
    The very act of silence has myriad responses, some of which, had you known could-would have been implemented against you, you might not have 'done the deed'.
    But, I promise you, stay strong, quiet, and resolute and you will have Peace--in whatever form that Peace inhabits.
    STAY STRONG AND PROTECT THE WEAK.
    (ps: this also works with texting--or not--not answering your fone and errant emails. Press On...)

    Then boom our words mean everything that's why we also have to have control over our emotions as well cause our emotions can really mess us up as well as fear
