The Power of Words - use wisely!

I loved spelling as a kid. I also enjoyed writing stories and as I got older, keeping journals. Though, I never truly realized the power words hold until I started to feel their vibrations. Words along with the emotions we put behind them are powerful. The childhood phrase: "Sticks n stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt me" was an attempt to tell us to toughen up, but it isn't true - names can and do hurt us.

I've had the following picture on my desktop for several years. It speaks volumes. It is one of the reasons I try to assist people in becoming more aware of their words and their energy. Even just casually saying, "I forgot to get 'x' at the store - I'm so stupid!" impacts your mind, body and soul more than you can imagine.

Water is a major conduit - it can carry information, emotions and trauma. We are made up of more than 100 million cells and our cells consist of protoplasm that is 70% water. When someone calls you something negative and you take that on - it reverberates throughout your body and can get stuck there. The same can occur when you are being negative with yourself. Words can and do affect us at such deep levels.

Words are powerful. Be very conscientious about the words you use for yourself and others. Choose them wisely, they absolutely do make a difference.

Love, Adrienne :)
