We all need solitude and silence, and we all need social connection. We are vastly connected to everything in the universe, and we forget it, most of the time. We can be so consumed with the busyness and the fast pace of life we can lose the connection with ourselves and others and live on auto-pilot, missing the connection we all long for. One way we can come home to the heart of our connection with everything is the practice of solitude, or I like to call it "soulitude," where you connect deep within your heart. Just taking 20 minutes a day to spend some time in solitude can work on many levels, and you will see the benefits first-hand of the sound of silence, leading you to live more freely and peacefully.
