Comfortable Silences

Posted on by RhapsodyBoheme

Silence can be quite uncomfortable when you find yourself amongst the wrong company. You may remember the urge to make idle conversation and engage in meaningless small talk. It’s all an effort of avoiding that strange, uncomfortably feeling. It’s trying to fit in, to not be labeled “weird”, to do what we think is expected of us.

Silence can also be grace saving and soothing depending on the situation. Especially when working in retail I think. Silence may allow you to enjoy quiet time on your own, being able to do whatever you want, not having to be considerate, while giving in to your every whim without distractions and interruptions.

But is there a third scenario? Personally I like people I can have comfortable silences with. Have you met someone like this? Isn’t it blissful…it’s like coming home… having finally arrived, and being accepted for the beautiful self you are without pretense and disguises.

We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other. Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other. This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place. My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire. Who I am in a nutshell... 
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master. I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago. I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars. I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter. I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self. This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

  1. I love comfortable silence too, Rhapsody 🙂
    In the recent years, when I have been looking for new friends, I have noticed from beginning, if we could be in same room in comfortable silence. Silence alone can feel like cutting in the air with a knife, when we are in the wrong company.
    Good to see you out enjoying life.
    Have their been a burning in this place at your photo?
    Much love to you ❤

    1. That is so true Irene and it’s hard to find people who can be still. Most rush around, having to do ten things in a day and nobody knows how to relax.
      I know what you mean with picking up right away if you could be still with someone or if it would turn into an exhausting endeavor.
      Their was a burning many years ago that was devastating to the area, but I love how beauty ab still be found there and how new life is making its way back to the area.
      Best wishes and much love always. ❤️

      1. I don’t need all that drama, as some people need to feel alive, so silence is beautiful to me.
        Great to hear, that the area are growing again. After burning it usually demand much resting time, before it grows again.
        I remember a place here in Spain, where I lived some years ago. There was a windmill, as lost a wing and started a fire. We needed to save animals and ourselves and drive away, as the fire came close to our house. Many hours later returned to the house and could see, the fire did take the area in the neighbor ground until our ground. I wrote a post about it, it was chocking.
        Much love ❤

      2. I agree completely and I had to cut out people that were toxic in energy to me. I feel alive just siting and admiring such places and I think it is an art to see the beauty within the devastation.
        Have a great weekend Irene. Much love to you.

  3. I think that is why everyone loves being out in Mother Nature, she is totally accepting of us and we can just ‘be’ ourselves. Not having to talk or do something other than the relaxation we feel with her. Her silences, even though there is always noise, is her gift to us. With every one else there is an ‘expectation’ to ‘be’ something else.
    Stay where you are in your picture, I can feel ‘her’ from here, that is a beautiful place to be in her arms ❤️

    1. I think to some of us it truly is. Sadly there are many reasons people come out here and the amount of noise and inconsideration is growing at alarming rates. I had someone hover a drone over me the other day to take video and invade my privacy.
      For me Mother Nature is a way to get away. To enjoy the silence and take in all of its beauty. I’m not there to party and be loud and if others are around, I respect their space. Thins are changing and if you truly want to get away you have to put in the work nobody else wants to do and hike up up and away. Sadly…

  4. My wife has the ‘silence’ personality. She is the sit and listen to the breeze in the trees kind of person. Sad to say, I am a babbler. If I don’t have anything to say, I will break out into song. My wife complains that living with me is like living in a musical.
