Studies show that noise has a powerful physical effect on our brains, causing elevated levels of stress hormones. According to the researcher Mónica Esgueva, professional coaching, sound travels to the brain as electrical signals through the ear. Even when we are sleeping, these sound waves cause the body to react and activate the amygdala, the part of the brain associated with memory, emotion and sense of danger, leading to the release of stress hormones. Therefore, living in a noisy environment on a regular basis causes us to experience extremely high levels of these harmful hormones. In the current era of digital overexposure, in which we feel overwhelmed by huge amounts of information, disconnect becomes more relevant than ever. Research has shown that demands constant attention of modern life put a lot of stress in our prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for making decisions, solving problems and stop our harmful impulses, among other tasks.

Silence is confirmed in the celebration of each moment and each frame diffused in our history. Silence is not the opposite of sound, but rather a dimension of consciousness that actually contains all sounds. We need to develop as human beings a certain relationship in silence, to become friends with him, to discover him as the fertile source of all subsequent activity and sound. In fact, we maintain an ambivalent relationship with silence, because we seek serenity and yet drama abounds in our lives, we long for fulfillment and at the same time we fear the unknown terrain that we have to cross to reach them. Silence thus understood is not a denial of life, love, or community, but it teaches us to celebrate the beauty of each moment. Silence makes us truly strong. Living in this new territory is very useful for personal life, for the healthy management of our expansive and contractive emotions, for the relationship with others and for the achievement of our projects in a truly new and creative way. From that perspective we must offer in our way of creating meditations spaces of silence, we should not direct all the time, but spaces of silence, and oxygen should be offered, so that the participant
