Quiet Bliss

Off the record, contemplation, digital detox, and monotasking aim at reconnecting with yourself and the world around you

In a world used to running at impossible speeds, the awareness of slowing down is on the rise. Disconnecting in order to reconnect has become an aspirational behavior as the constant flow of messages, notifications, and likes on social media is seen as a noisy interruption.

Isolation from visual, noise, and information pollution is praised as a way to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. Quiet Bliss is the reinterpretation of the pause and importance of slowing down every day, which can be seen in digital breaks or in the search for revitalizing spaces.

Quietness has been seen not only as a preventive measure, but also as a resource to boost productivity. Additionally, silence has gained a newfound value as a key measure for recovering balance and personal creativity.

Taking time off the record, contemplation, digital detoxing, and monotasking all suggest a greater presence and contemplation of the moment. In this context, analog technologies are being reclaimed to reduce stress, the most feared of our contemporary enemies. The market will increasingly embrace the battle against stress as a cause in the coming years.

This emerging behavior is a way of subverting the order of these “liquid times”. The new purposes bypass the logic of capitalism and suggest a more inclusive lifestyle, less focused on the accumulation of capital.

The Silent Revolution: Creative Silence as a Foundation for the New

 

In order to positively guide this great planetary change we are going through, this is the theory: only empty space is capable of producing the truly new and complete standards needed to resolve the complexity of the current problems and co-create a new world. Creative silence is a foundation and generator of formidable ideas. There is nothing more effective at awakening true creativity and allowing the truly new to emerge than silence.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AND THE POWER TO HEAL FROM WITHIN

 

Study no longer focuses on the illness, but on the individual as a whole – the mind, body, and spirit. The patient is now seen as primarily responsible for their own recovery, and is led to understand that healing works from inside to out, not the other way around. In this process, the search for simple and natural solutions grows stronger.
