Have you been upset over the neighbors stupid leaf-blower, the beeping UPS-Truck, the shouting construction workers or the ripping scream of a baby on a plane?
There’s an alternative to getting your energy drained: By releasing resistance, you can make it refresh you. Don’t fight it, dive into it. Intentionally follow the sound. Switch from reactive-mode to conscious-will and you keep your energy.
Disclaimer: This applies to temporary noises. I am not suggesting you should put up with long-term noise. A peaceful environment is important for your well-being.
Noise triggers already existing inner pain. If you’re already frustrated, have a headache or feel tired, the noise will resonate with your inner noise like a tuning fork. But if you’re in a good state, the blow of harsh sound is dampened. Similar: If you’re in a low state, you are keenly aware of the blister on your foot. In a good state you barely take notice.
Sound is energy-vibration. Quit labeling it “bad” and instead follow it’s coming and going, it’s peaks and valleys, whether it’s clear or pulsating, how far it travels, the silence in between or around it. Like everything in life, the things that most annoy you provide the greatest opportunity for inner transformation. Convert noise to your benefit.
