The best way NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke about membership owners’ overpowering endorsement of an sensitive decade-long arrangement to finish the particular lockout, he could as well are already screaming, Are a person set for some basketball? Not so fast, enthusiasts. Your deal’s dirty yet.

Goodness, Sarah, you sound like a Quaker! We use silence and stillness to open our minds and hearts to that quiet voice, and let it guide us. It helps us to live a better – simpler and more caring – life, and keeps us in touch with an existence beyond ipads and housework…..

Have you read Paulo Coehlo “Guardian Angel” [I'm not really sure about the English translation]? Because he mentions “parallel conscience”, which is, to my understanding, quite similar to your “loud voice”. I am still reading the book, so I can’t really tell you more except that it is worth the read if you are interested in meditation, reseting and focusing your mind.

I do not meditate, but I find that when you make time for it, such as gardening alone, or on the treadmill (but without the ipod on), my quiet voice surfaces….

Thanks Sarah, until I read your article, I thought it was only something I did

Wow, this blog is always bang on what I am reading or feeling at the moment, keep up the good work!. I have been doing guided meditation that i found on total balance a coaching website and it’s great just plug into your ipod and off you go but i’d like to try TM, when i have the money.
About the quiet voice, i picked up a book while working at Penguin publishing in the free pile, so the book came to me in a way which is nice! It’s called a New Earth and i’m sure you may have read it , by Eckhart Tolle. This book describes the quiet voice and loud voice in a different way, but you can take and leave what you want from it because it’s just one persons theory but it does make sense. I think we all need to get to know ourselves a bit more and blogs and books are a great start to learn how because sometimes talking about this sort of thing can make people uncomfortable and is not “socially acceptable”.

Thanks Sarah I discuss this same idea with my clients I will pass your post on as its a great way to reinforce the message. Alison….Beware of running and “upping the ante” to drown out the loud voice…that is how all of us “A-type” personalities end up in trouble…burn out…auto-immune disease….chronic fatigue….Sarah knows this all too well Me too! LOVE yourself, be kind and SLOW DOWN Be here now xxoxox

Wow just added this to my favourites. I find my loud voice at its most annoying when driving or mowing the lawn and now repeat to myself I am just driving the car/mowing the lawn in my head until it goes and then I can tune into my quiet voice. Crazy but works for me also when you can’t sleep at night…

Hey Sarah, I mentioned this post in my latest post – it helped me in a moment where I was challenged by Sole and Soul as the same time

This quiet voice is much treasured in the design process too. Normally a piece of debussi, for example, has the effect of quietening down the noisy shell. Then you slowly work your way to quieten your soul so you can ‘listen’ to that inner voice before sketching.

I, by nature is quiet so contrary to you Sarah, I strive to literally speak, more and louder! Not quieten down Denise’s experience is worth a thought too

surprisingly, mulit-tasking helps me hear my quiet voice. I don’t just mean listening to music while washing the dishes, but doing something that takes a lot of physical energy that blocks out my loud voice. I’ve just started running and it is the most effect way for me to drown the “insistent half-truths” constantly plaguing my mind. I’m actually just about to go out for a run. My loud voice is extra annoying today. Thank you for such a provocative post!
