The Music Of

Language

Words Are Energy

When

we speak or write, we use the vehicles of words to carry meaning, as well

as energy, from ourselves to another person or group of people. We may be

speaking to our baby, our boss, or to an audience of 500 people. We may

be writing a love letter, a work-related memo, or an entry in our own

diary. Whatever the case, each word we speak or write has a life of its

own, a vibratory signature that creates waves in the same way that a note

of music creates waves. And like musical notes, our words live in

communities of other words and change in relation to the words that surround

them. When we are conscious of the energy behind our words, we become

capable of making beautiful music in the world. If we are unconscious of

the power of words, we run the risk of creating a noisy disturbance.

Some of us know this instinctively, while others come to this

understanding slowly. Most of us, though, speak without thinking at least

some of the time, blurting out our feelings and thoughts without much

regard for the words we choose to express them. When we remind ourselves

that our words have an impact on the world at the level of energy, we may

find within ourselves the desire to be more aware of our use of language.

A fun way to increase our sensitivity to the power of words is to simply

make a list of our favorite words and notice the energy they contain. We

can write them down and post them where we can see them, or we can speak

them aloud, feeling them reverberate in our bodies and in the air around

us. This is like learning to consciously play an instrument that we have

been playing unconsciously for most of our lives, and the effect can be

startling and delightful. As we grow more comfortable and confident

playing the instrument of language, we will begin to compose beautiful

messages, creating positive energy every time we write or speak.
