Great explanation. Especially the mentioning of the physical aspect of the silence, and not just the mental. This is often overlooked by those who are unaware of what true silence/stillness/prayer(all being synonymous), means.
This deep silence is the "spiritual" silence. It is the "peace that passeth all understanding".
The mind can be quiet and yet the physical body can still be in an active ,tense, or agitated way, and is not what true silence is. It is in this silence of the Heart and/or Spirit, that Being/Awareness/God/Truth, abides.

To quote Rumi,
"Let Silence speak to you about the secrets of the universe.”
"Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation. All is known in the sacredness of silence."
"There is a way between voice and presence where the voice-less voice of Truth flows. In disciplined silence, it opens;"
