The Sound of Silence

As you can probably imagine, trains can be loud and noisy. My solution is to carry noise canceling headphones with me. Let me make something clear -- they dramatically reduce the amount of noise you hear, but, it's not like they can drown out EVERY sound that's out there. What I like is how any sounds you DO hear appear more distant. It's easier to keep your concentration and focus if the noise you hear seems far away. If so, you might be the perfect candidate for a pair of noise canceling headphones. Let me share a story with you that I think will really make it clear just how useful these devices can be.

All this noise can make a car journey very stressful for driver and passengers and often stops them from enjoying their music as they cruise along the road - after all, music interrupted by clinks and clatter is not that soothing. The solution to this problem is sound deadening sheets, which dull down and block out sounds outside your car. The light weight sheets, made by Dynamat, are to be placed in the interior of the car, including the roof, floor, doors and boot to create a lining on the inside of the car. The sound deadening sheets not only make your ride more relaxing, they make your car feel more solid due to the flexible but strong aluminum and specialist materials used which enable you to mould the sheets easily to the parameter as well as converts energy more effectively and rapidly.

It is further recommended a roller is used to press down the material on large areas. Once in place, the sheet should last a great number of years. he ride is long, and I like to read while traveling to-and-from work everyday. As you can probably imagine, trains can be loud and noisy.

These are not Catholic dogma; rather, they resonate with the deep wisdom mined by every spiritual path that has discovered the power of silence - which is most of them. Walking the path and internalising these reflections created a sense of deep peace and wellbeing, and of being fully present in the moment - which is probably saying the same thing in two ways.
