What does silence teach a person?
Silence teaches us empathy and understanding. Silence teaches us to develop independent thinking. When we are alone with our own thoughts, in the absence of other people and media we are more able to separate our original thoughts from those of others.
What are the benefits of being silence?
Silence may help your health in several ways, including:
- lowering blood pressure.
- improving concentration and focus.
- calming racing thoughts.
- stimulating brain growth.
- reducing cortisol.
- stimulating creativity.
- improving insomnia.
- encouraging mindfulness.
Why does silence make me happy?
Silence Is Good for Your Brain Silence allows our prefrontal cortexes — our brains’ “attention centers” — to relax and restore. If you frequently have your head in the clouds like me, you’ll be happy to hear that the natural state of our brains is daydreaming, meditating, fantasizing, wandering.
Why do I love silence so much?
Silence nourishes the body. It literally heightens our well-being by reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, and even regenerating brain cells. Introverts love talking about how we need to recharge our batteries after being around people for too long, because it’s a great way to visualize how we replenish our energy.

What is the power of silent?
Being silent allows us to channel our energies. It gives us the clarity we need to calmly face challenges and uncertainty. The hour of silence I practice each morning, and encourage you to practice as well, can be a time for collecting our thoughts, training our minds, and deciding how we want to enter into the day.
