The silence has an energy to it like no other source. It has the power to get people to think and to act, it can help slow the mind down, and it is a powerful ally in the likes of counselling and life coaching. The trouble with silence is that many people feel the need to fill the void of silence with needless chatter, with TV, music, with noise of some kind. Silence can be disconcerting and can make people feel uncomfortable and alone, that's why the world is filled with TV's that have been left on when nobody is watching it, for background noise.
