Speech Fasting: The Power of Silent Reflection | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Speech fasting, a deliberate abstention from verbal communication, holds ancient roots across various cultures, often associated with spiritual practices, meditation, or religious observances. But today, it is a growing trend. People are spending exorbitant amounts to achieve silence. This intentional silence promises to foster self-awareness, inner reflection and offers an array of health benefits. However, challenges may arise, including social discomfort or difficulty expressing oneself non-verbally. Across history, figures like Mahatma Gandhi utilized silence as a potent tool for protest and self-purification. Various religions have urged people to practice structured silence. So, is speech fasting worth it? Palki Sharma tells you.
