Silence, this forgotten (and proven) medicine

At AKÅSA Biarritz, we believe that silence is a gentle medicine.

Not an escape. Not a void. But an invisible presence. A subtle vibration... capable of profoundly affecting the body, soul, and brain.

🌌 Silence: Between ancestral wisdom and modern neuroscience

Spiritual traditions around the world have always honored silence:

- Among Native Americans, silence is considered a sacred space where the spirit is heard.

- In ancient Egypt, it accompanied initiation rituals.

- Sufis, Tibetan monks, yogis... all have cultivated this pause from the world to better hear its essence.

Today, modern science confirms what the wise already knew intuitively.

🧠 Silence literally heals the brain

Neuroscience studies show that silence activates deep areas of the brain, particularly in the hippocampus, a region linked to memory and emotions.

This same study revealed that after two hours of daily silence, the brain produces new neurons in the hippocampus. This phenomenon is known as neurogenesis.

Silence also acts as a natural stress regulator. It lowers cortisol levels and improves concentration and decision-making abilities.

🌿 Silence as a daily ritual

It's not absolute silence, but a space without distractions. A moment of pause in the hustle and bustle of the day.

Start with 5 minutes a day:

Close your eyes.
Don't look for anything. Don't run away from anything.
Listen. Breathe. Feel.
Let the void exist. That's where calm settles.

In this space of tranquility, the mind reorganizes itself. It sorts thoughts, reactivates intuition, and allows clarity to emerge.

✨ Silence, an art of living AKÅSA

AKÅSA Biarritz doesn't just offer scarves.
We weave objects of intention, symbols of personal rituals and reconnection.

In an era saturated with noise, each scarf becomes a silent reminder:
an anchor, a moment of return to oneself.
A horizon, more than an accessory.
