Language is the basis of human communication and finding an understanding of ourselves, words have a great power engraved in them. All words come from the need for transmitting a feeling about life, be it a situation, object, person, or place, communicating the experience of what is, is how we as humans come to an understanding about how we experience being alive.
Reality is a canvas without meaning when there are no words added to it. Thoughts have the power to carry creative energy, be it positive or negative, and this energy is based on the meaning of each word. When we choose our words, we can create an outcome based on the energy each thought is transmitting; thinking positive will bring something positive in the physical reality, and thinking negative will do the same for a negative outcome.
We are human, and we are here to learn how to experience thought. The only thing getting in the way of an extraordinary life is this inner commentary blocking clarity and assigning a negative or neutral meaning to situations.
I'm here to show you the power of being mindful of the words you use, not only in thought but also when communicating, so you can choose the meaning of your experiences in life.
Meditation is the practice of being and observing all that is in the present moment. We tend to confuse meditation with clearing the mind of thoughts, although this is possible and very beneficial, listening to what you have to say is key to reaching clarity of mind, not only because observing what you think is insightful, but you can also notice the words you use and how you use them.
Having clarity when engaging in thought or a conversation is key for moving towards what we want. When we become mindful of how we think, we can change words that lack the clarity to more empowering ones that are clearer on what we want to express based on the reality we want to create. When we choose words that mean something powerful to us, we can use them to change the way we perceive reality by living each situation with the meaning we want.
When we use powerful words, we empower the situation we are living in and develop a greater perception of reality. The opposite happens when we use slang and curse words. Using slang is unclear, the origin of some slang words and their use is open to interpretation, and in some cases, slang fails to match the perception of the other person when communicating. When talking about curse words, the meaning they carry is usually negative and helps develop a negative perception of reality. We tend to use slang and curse words mindlessly and keep living in the same situations repeatedly. When changing these words to more powerful ones, we are transforming our life into something more empowering and developing a sense of control by assigning the meaning we want to each situation mindfully.
Language is how we give meaning to everything we experience as human beings. Giving meaning to an experience will define how you live your reality, and by being mindful of the words we use when we think and speak, we can completely shift our perception of what we live, shifting into a higher, more empowering energy where reality becomes meaningful by choice.
