The Hidden Noise That Keeps Us Lost
We live in a culture built on noise. Notifications, opinions, endless “shoulds” stacked on top of “musts.” It’s easy to get lost in all that static. Not just the sound in your ears, but the pressure that fills your life.
I know, because I’ve been there—successful on the outside, suffocating on the inside. Two different costumes: corporate achiever and spiritual teacher. Both exhausting. Both noisy.
When Noise Becomes the New Normal
Noise is sneaky because it becomes normal. Like a goldfish in murky water, you stop noticing even as it poisons you. Fatigue, anxiety, emptiness—these aren’t flaws. They’re symptoms of swimming in toxic noise.
We medicate the symptoms instead of changing the environment. We scroll, drink, shop, binge, or perform. But deep down, we’re starving for silence.
The Sacred Yes Waiting in Silence
So I began sitting in silence. Not perfect meditation. Just sitting. Shoes off. Feet on cold grass. Letting the noise run until it wore itself out.
And there, in the silence, came the Sacred Yes. Not the grand Yes of “purpose” or “awakening.” A smaller Yes. Fiercer. Simpler.
The Yes to honesty. The Yes to rest. The Yes to admitting I don’t know. The Yes to feeling the ground under my feet and remembering what’s real.
Why Feeling Lost Is Not a Mistake
The world tells us being lost is failure. But the truth? Feeling lost is a compass.
When you’re lost, you stop pretending you know. You admit the map no longer fits. And in that moment, you’re ready for silence. Ready to hear what the noise has been drowning out.
Being lost is not the end. It’s the doorway back to yourself.
Noise vs. Silence: The Daily Choice Point
Every day we face a choice: stay in the noise, or pause and choose silence.
Noise says: Perform. Pretend. Keep going.Silence says: Stop. Breathe. Feel what’s real.
Your body knows the difference. In noise, you contract—tight chest, shallow breath. In silence, you expand—shoulders drop, breath deepens, mind clears.
The Sacred Yes starts here.
Ancient Frequencies for a Modern World
Sound itself can cut through noise. The Solfeggio frequencies—ancient healing tones—work like tuning forks for the soul.
396 Hz helps release fear.528 Hz restores clarity.432 Hz reconnects you with nature.
They don’t give you something new. They remind your body what harmony feels like. They strip the noise so you can hear your own truth again.
Stripping It Back: The Fierce Work of Yes
Noise doesn’t stop on its own. You have to strip it back. That means saying no—
No to habits that numb you.
No to relationships that drain you.
No to living half-alive and calling it balance.
The Sacred Yes is simple. But it’s fierce. It asks you to choose. And every true Yes costs something—comfort, approval, the familiar. But what it gives is everything: clarity, aliveness, presence.
My Second Sacred Yes: From Spiritual to Human
In 2014, I came out of the spiritual closet. I risked looking crazy. Built a life around my gifts. That Sacred Yes changed everything.
But here in 2025, a deeper Yes is calling. Not to being spiritual. To being human. To admitting I don’t have it all figured out. To showing the cracks, the struggles, the contradictions.
It’s scarier than the first Yes, but more freeing. Because it’s real.
Your Sacred Yes: The First Step Back to Real
So let me ask you: what’s your Sacred Yes today?
Not the polished one. Not the impressive one. The small, honest one your body already knows.
Maybe it’s five minutes of silence.Maybe it’s saying no to one habit that numbs you.Maybe it’s taking your shoes off because your feet hurt.
Start there. One honest Yes at a time. That’s how we stop being lost. That’s how we come home.
