Learn To Lean into Silence
Silence is overrated by many, and seen as a void that should be filled at all times, and at all costs. Some sit rather uncomfortably in soundless moments, wishing they could find or say anything to fill it. It can be an overwhelming feeling to be still with your thoughts, or in the moment. This is why gadgets like earbuds are popular, because even when moving from A to B, people just do not like to be stuck in silence.
When the sound of a bell tolls, any silence shatters. It leaves an eerie echo in the ear of those who feel comfortable in it already, but for those who try to avoid any type of silence, the sound of a bell can be a sign to lean into it. Leaning into the silence is extraordinarily therapeutic once you get the hang of it. It does take practice to be okay with 'nothing,' but you soon realize that nothing is in fact, something, and that something is soothing and addictive.
The reason people fear silence is because they fear being vulnerable. That state of mind where you feel unable to interpret the silence as anything other than a pause that has gone on too long, or the desire to create a noise to break it takes over, and it does instill a little anxiety in some. Your angels will send you a bell to listen to and enjoy the silence following it as a way to teach you that you can find yourself in a silent moment. Further than that – you can enjoy it.
You will usually receive a sign like this when your angels sense your life being busier than you would like. Maybe you keep meaning to take a break, or go on a vacation somewhere for some time away. Perhaps your usual go-to vacation is somewhere loud, like a bustling city, and your angels want you to rethink this and try finding a little sanctuary at a peaceful spot. Angels know what would work best for us before we do, so if they notice us growing up, they will want us to visit somewhere that will highlight that.
Sometimes, the sound of a bell can instill the need to be silent in a certain area of your life. Is it that you are a fairly outspoken person, and it can sometimes land you in slightly hot water. Whilst you don't mean any harm, people still tend to unfairly judge much of the time, and your angels may not feel you deserve this. It's time to take stock of your actions, and think about the potential consequences that follow. If you need to dig deep, that's okay, your angels are by your side.
You are being led to be a little more thoughtful at the chime of each bell you hear, and in turning to your thoughts you can also have more of a vision to search for answers that you require. If life or love has been getting you down and causing confusion, the clouds are far more likely to part and disappear altogether if you lean into the silence a little. Watch the change, instead of fighting it.
Learning something new is always tricky, especially when it involves being out of your comfort zone. Sometimes, what you might constitute as being silent could be just a moment outside where you are gathering your thoughts under a tree filled with birds. Whilst it may not be silent, the sounds are gentle and highlight the quieter moments in between the chirping. This is seen to be beautifully connecting to the earth, and in turn to your angels who led you to do so in the first place.
When you next hear the sounds of bells, think about what silence means to you, and whether or not you need more of it in your own life. Do you find that a little more silence would balance out some stress factors, and can you start finding more silent today? Your angels want to support you, and guide you with their knowledge, grace and tact. If you sink into the sounds of any bells, you will immediately understand the gorgeous simplicity of a few silent minutes.
