Many of the clients I work with have trouble sitting in silence and find that trying brings intense anxiety. The funny thing is the problem and the fix are the same thing. Learning to sit in silence and just be with your self is one of the best ways to learn to let go of anxiety altogether. To be quiet we must slow down our breath and either empty our minds or control our thought process. It is the perfect practice for controlling anxiety. If you have trouble be silent and hanging with yourself try to practice a little at a time i.e. try one minute at first and then increase the time once you are no longer anxious during the one minute of silence. Do this until you can sit with yourself for as long as you want. This is a freeing exercise and calming. Try it out.
