DEFINITION
Silence is a regenerative practice of attending and listening to God in quiet, without interruption and noise. Silence provides freedom from speaking as well as from listening to words or music. (Reading is also listening to words.)

Quiet everyone—a holy silence. Listen!” (Habakkuk 2:20 The Message)
