Silence that is full of vexation, worry, self-regard, is not a silence that will take you to your deeper self. You can be silent, making no sounds, but worried about how you are going to pay your rent or mortgage, or keep your job, a relationship and so on. The more contemplative silence is one that if relatively free of any focused thoughts. This is the silence that can seep into you and help bring about a change at the heart level. I try to avoid mixing up prayer and problem solving.

The art of not connecting with thoughts, but with the heart instead, is practice not perfection some days, for me at least. ;)
