From the Book Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle:
Silence is helpful, but you don't need it in order to find stillness. Even when there is noise, you can be aware of the stillness underneath the noise, of the space in which the noise arises. That is the inner space of pure awareness, consciousness itself.
You can become aware of awareness as the background to all your sense perceptions, all your thinking. Becoming aware of awareness is the arising of inner stillness.
(So for me, feeling your energy or feeling the vibrations in no way prevents one from being in the stillness. It always helps me to remeber "no matter what happens, let it be ok" and "honor everything, nothing matters")
