Touching Silence

Touching Silence is an invitation to meet your life exactly as it is and to discover the stillness that has been present beneath every story, routine, and struggle. Drawing from Zen practice, traditional Japanese Reiki Ryōhō, contemplative work with plant medicines, and a clear-eyed look at physics and cosmology, the book follows the movement of energy from form into formlessness and back again.

Rather than offering quick fixes or spiritual slogans, the book walks patiently through the realities of suffering, illness, anxiety, and loss. It shows how attention, honest practice, and a willingness to sit in silence allow old patterns to unwind and the body, mind, and energy system to return to balance. Along the way, concepts like ego, karma, trauma, time, and space are explored with both contemplative depth and rational clarity.

Inside, readers will explore:

• How routine, habit, and ego keep us moving outward instead of inward.
• The role of energy, the body, and Reiki Ryōhō in self-healing.
• Why suffering can become a teacher when met with presence.
• How ideas from quantum physics, Planck time, and cosmology can help ground experiences of stillness and expanded awareness.
• Practical ways to sit with resistance, work with fear, and allow space to open in ordinary life.

The book does not ask you to become someone different. It invites you to return, again and again, to the quiet field of awareness that is already here, and to let healing arise from that space.
