A silent retreat is a great for people who are stressed out and want to get a peace of mind. Those who decide to go to one must accept the rules. The rules are very simple: stay in silence. You must not speak, use non-verbal communication, read books, write in journals, exercise heavily, or listen to music. Some people may start to think of this as worse than boot camp. They are not too far off from the truth.
Then why do people go out of their way to stay at such retreats for days on end? The truth is, once you have accepted the protocol, you will finally have ample time to accommodate your own thoughts. People put themselves through madness, stress, anger and commotion on an daily basis. Here is a chance to free yourself of the noise outside, and take a moment to listen to how cluttered your own mind has become.
At a certain stage, you may experience a few moments of silence; even inside your own head. That experience is extremely gratifying, because you can finally calm yourself to the absolute. There is almost nothing more satisfying than the sound of your own mind disappearing. You can start to feel the world around you for what it really is.
Silence helps you achieve a mental state higher than most others. The way you keep your mind tends to show externally too. If you are under a lot of stress, it may show on your body as wrinkles, dark circles, or weight-loss or gain. Shut away the troubles around to develop a healthy mind and body.
