Yeah, this is a potent spiritual exercise for peace and relaxation.
'A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. ' ~ Bertrand Russell
Meister Eckhart was a theist, while Bertrand Russell was an atheist, but they both have similar views with respect to silence.
