Mauna = Noble Silence
It consists of periods of controlled speech and avoidance of external distractions such as reading, listening to music or writing.
How do I practice?
Wake up, don't turn on the phone, avoid listening to music and don't speak to anyone! After your morning meditation / yoga practice, or whenever you feel ready you can open yourself again to these inputs.
Benefits
