The Words You Use Matter

The Words You Use Matter
By Beverly Blanchard

In the old fairy tales we read as children, the wizard was always conjuring. Usually they would recite incantations in which they would often use the words: Hocus Pocus, Abracadabra and Alakazam. We were never taught the meaning of these words. As children, most of us liked the magical emphasis they gave to the story. Yet, there was a powerful message in these words and here it is: “With my words I create.”

All words have a vibration and it is the feelings we attach to the word that assists us in the creation of our reality. For most of us, we are never really aware of the power that words have in our lives. Instead we use our words haphazardly and casually toss them around never understanding that words do indeed have power. Sometimes the only time we recognize the power of words is when we are on the receiving end of a callous word.

On a personal level, the two most powerful words in the English language are: “I am.” No one else can say, “I am” for you. No one can describe you using the words “I am.” It is only you that can use these words. Yet, very few of us are even aware of what words we attach to them.

In some cases, we have become our own bullies as we look in the mirror and tell ourselves, “I am ugly.” “I am worthless.” “I am a screw-up.” “I am poor.”

The words “I am” can be liken to the soil of Mother Earth. The words you attach to “I am” are like the seeds you sow in Mother Earth. You have the option of planting seeds that are going to produce flowers or weeds. Each will grow in the soil, however the one you cultivate will be the one that dominants your garden. Do you want weeds or flowers?

Speak of yourself in the positive. Accentuate that which is positive about you. Eliminate the negative. Refrain from criticizing yourself. You are a divine magnificent expression of Source Energy in action and your garden should be one of flowers.
