8d • What's up? 🗨️💭
17 Jan Sat 🌑 Almost New Moon
When was the last time you let silence finish its sentence?
🛸I was tuning my handpan last month. Hit it once to check the note.
And instead of hitting it again immediately, I stopped.
I waited. Listening. Till the sound completely dissolved into silence.
That's when I heard it - not the note, but what came after.
That gap. That stillness.
Someone shared this with me later: "Ring once → Stay still → Listen till silence → Don't move."
🕉️ The Agamas teach: नाद योग - Nada Yoga. The yoga of sound.
But here's what they don't tell you:
The sound doesn't awaken presence. It quiets you so presence becomes possible.
The sound empties you.
🔇 We do this backwards in life:
Someone speaks. We interrupt before they finish.
Someone hurts us. We react before the pain settles.
Something happens. We move before the lesson lands.
We never wait for silence.
🧠 The Agamas say: A restless mind cannot perceive what is already present.
That which is everywhere doesn't need to be called.
So why the sound?
To interrupt वृत्ति - vrtti. The continuous movement of thought.
When the sound stops, and you stay still, that gap is receptivity.
That stillness is presence.
Your turn:
What's one thing you reacted to this week before letting the silence finish?
One sentence. That's it.
I'll read every single one. 👇
Imperfect. Still. Listening. 🌑🦚
