Most people use words without considering the power of words. How we use words is an incredible, mysterious activity. This post is an encouragement to use words carefully; be careful what you read, say, think.
As we read words, we experience meanings. Each word opens like a flower in our bodies. The flowers are images and emotions combining and flowing within us. This happens in response to reading words. Any word carries power and becomes our experience. For example, rainbow. I type the word “rainbow”, you read it, and your library of experience combines all your life’s information into a response. Rainbow.
Hearing words is similarly powerful. As with the reading of words, hearing words stimulates images and emotions which open within our bodies as experience. If you say a word to your spouse or child, their experience of that word will be immediate. What word experience would you like to give to your family? One word……..?
Each word we think is also a powerful seed and combines meanings stored throughout our lives in our bodies. The body’s response to words is immediate and, based on our history, becomes our now experience. Words are a daily, ongoing part of our experience. We direct and share our lives through the magical gift of words. Some we keep within, some we let out. The influence of our words is a steady flow into, within, and out of us.
Taking a moment to watch our word world can become a place of choosing. Listen for a minute with your eyes closed. Do you hear words outside your body? Within your mind? In your memory? Each word can be understood as a seed. Seeds contain all that is required to bring them to bloom. Be careful with your use of words. Treat them with respect. Know that your use of words influences not only your body, but the bodies of those with whom you share words.
Kind words can germinate, root, grow, bloom and last a lifetime. Speak gently. Think gently. Speak and think gently. Your body will respond with peace and harmony, and you will be planting seeds of peace and harmony in your family, as well.
