Lately I’ve been waking up in the morning and just lying in bed for a while, listening. My ears fill with a rush of… nothing. Just a rich silence. I can almost see it. It’s like a dense meringue of nothingness. And it seems to help with my day to really drink that in first thing.

Maybe give it a try. Whenever you catch a moment of quiet, imagine it filling your ears, your brain, your whole body with calm.
