Words Carry Energy

Hey, Friends!

Today, I'm talking about words. Yes, bringing words together is essential to deliver a message or experience. But I'm talking about how words carry energy. The words we speak carry incredible, unwavering power. Science tells us that every sound ever made exists forever. Its wave-form casts through the universe for eternity. Imagine that. Your words are the tips of an energetic pattern that lasts...indefinitely! So, after listening to this episode, I hope it's an invitation to join me as I try to S-L-O-W down and choose words thoughtfully. 

So let's dive in...

The Backstory

So if you don't know already, my husband and I are parents of now two teenagers that just celebrated their thirteen birthday. And it seemed timely for me to crack open the book by Michelle Icard called "Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen," which I'll include in the show notes. Her framework provides my husband and me a means to have relatable conversations with our daughters on tricky topics like technology, criticism, money, sexuality, and many more - well, nine more topics for a total of fourteen. Ha! 

It reminded me of my middle school years when I was an empath and took on all the energy that words carried. If one of my parents used harsh words to scold me, I felt it. I mean, I really felt it. And now, as an adult, I see our daughters in this exact situation. When harsh words are exchanged - even if not directly to them - they take on the energy of the words. And this is how I returned to the significance of choosing our words intentionally.

Energy Medicine

This topic dovetails with Energy Medicine. If Energy Medicine is new to you, let me try to describe it as simply as I can. So, Energy Medicine aims to heal imbalances in your energy field that's in and around your human body and other energy fields. Said another way, Energy Medicine is the non-physical structure that describes your physical body. So, hang with me a tiny bit longer as I try to stitch this together. These energy structures and the flow of energy that feeds your physical body is where Energy Medicine occurs.

Now, let's look at levels of energetic manifestation to see or grasp how this involves the words you use.

• Light rays take the form of waves.
• The waves turn into sound.
• And the sounds become a word.

Therefore, the energy elements are light > wave > sound > speech. So, words are the tip of the wave - so to say - and that's how words carry energy. 

Now, let's flip this around the other direction. 

• Your speech or choice of words becomes a sound.
• The sound takes on a wave form.
• The waves turn into light rays and exist indefinitely.

What energy are you manifesting through your words? Are they uplifting? Enlightening? Or perhaps they're weighty or burdensome. Oh boy! Great reminder for me - and maybe you - to choose my words intentionally.

Affirmations

Let's take this a bit further and look at affirmations. Affirmations and mantras are beautiful examples of how words can be uplifting and enlightening.

Sometimes you need self-coaching to open your heart and mind. One remedy is affirmations and mantras. They're incredibly easy to incorporate into your everyday life. Consider choosing life-affirming statements and say them to yourself throughout the day. That may look like post-it notes on your mirror and computer or sound like your all-knowing voice speaking your truth. 

These statements are positive and always confirm the best aspects of your life. And here's how words carry energy through affirmations and mantras. Every time you say one of the statements, your conscious mind utters words that your ego hears. And as your subconscious mind notices you making these statements - your hormone levels begin to synchronize your heart and mind to see more positive aspects of life. Beautiful, right? So incredible to see how the energy that words carry moves through your body.

So, what is one of your life-affirming statements? Or what mantra do you often say to yourself? One of my mantras is, "I embrace uncertainty and let life surprise me in many wonderful ways." This is a powerful mantra to embody and allow fluid energy to move through me as an Earthy person who values organization and a plan. LOL.

Sound Attunement

1. So let's say you struggle with verbalizing words that may fully reflect (or not at all reflect) your inner voice. Or maybe your challenge is that you're not verbalizing with words what your inner voice says.

One thing you may try is sound attunement. Just like a musician attunes its instrument before it's played so that the music sounds like it's intended - do you regularly tune your sound? Sound tuning at a personal level reunites your mind with your heart. And when that happens, you'll likely find it easier to find the words that carry your heart's energy.

Here's an approach I've found helpful (and admittedly rediscovered it recently at such divine timing as I broach tricky topics with your tweenagers). I invite you to mold and shape this into something you 

call your own.

• Listen to your inner and outer sounds. What are you verbalizing that may not reflect your inner voice? What is your inner voice saying that you are not verbalizing with words? 
• Tune into these misalignments. Where is this misalignment? What's needed to attune these sounds? Where is the source of the sound? Is it your sound? Someone else's sound?

Sound tuning helps you express information by finding your own sound - your essence, voice, and way of service. And when you are not tuned, you produce distorted, out-of-balance sound. So what sound are you putting out?

Wrap Up

So to wrap up, I invite you to join me as I try to S-L-O-W down and choose your words thoughtfully. After all, the words we speak carry incredible, unwavering power through our bodies and into the universe. Your words are the tips of an energetic pattern that lasts...forever.
