Psychologists have estimated that on an average we have as many as 60,000 thoughts per day. More importantly, 95-98% of those 60,000 thoughts we process are repeated daily. Each of those thoughts, at the physical brain level is releasing a shower of chemicals. Human brain contains 100 billion neurons. Each neuron has 1000 connection. Each connection fires, on an average, 200 times per sec resulting in 20,000 trillion calculations/sec. And all these consumes lots of life energy. Even if we can reduce the number of thoughts by a small percentage, it can have a huge bearing on life.Practicing silence for a few minutes every day gives you the power of that conserved energy.

When we succeedin reducing the quantity of thoughts, we will start observing a remarkable improvement in the quality of thoughts. How? If we can reduce the number of thoughts,then the thought congestion can come down and we will be able to hold every thought a little longer. The longer we can hold to a thought , the more potent the thought becomes. With every thought we send out the essence of ourselves which mingles with the other essences and creates and re-creates our physicalk environment. In that sense, our life is not our master but our child. This is why it is important to develop self-awareness to the depths of our ability, so that no creation can come about in our life without we making the choice. Practicing silence for few minutes every day will give you the power to create your chosen environment.
