Words, thoughts, sounds and intentions can alter your state of well being

YOU can define your condition into existence or define your condition out of existence, the word choice is yours. 

It is quite common in my practice to hear clients say how hurt they were when someone said this or that. 

We are all guilty of being careless with the words we use on others as well as ourselves.

The impact of words like sickening, stupid, idiot, moron, ugly, hopeless, lazy, brainless, good for nothing, I hate you and many more phrases that are ringing in your head right now are often used and may mean nothing to good friends and people with confidence or high self esteem. 

However, one never knows the state of mind others are in at that moment, when there is a possibility they may take the literal meaning of the word when they didn’t before.

My youngest daughter, after over two and half decades, was still hurt that I ignored her pleas to allow her to sit next to me on a rollercoaster ride in Sydney. At that time, I had my niece with me whom I was taking charge of during that outing without her parents. 

Although I didn’t remember the incident, my daughter said she was hurt when I brusquely asked her to sit with her mother.

I can’t remember what, or how my body language I used communicated it to her, but it obviously impacted her deeply. 

I wasn’t in the best state of mind at that time in my life and knew I wasn’t the type of father I could be proud of. Although it was a long time ago I apologised to her personally and asked her for forgiveness.

A few levels of healing took place on that day for both of us. She said that’s what she wanted to hear by me acknowledging my carelessness in the way I communicated with her. 

For her it was probably a sense of betrayal of love that she expects from her father. By me asking for forgiveness, it also helped in my healing process and being more sensitive to my child’s needs.

So it’s important that we are aware of every word, intention, tone of voice, facial expression, body language, gestures and even the timing of such communication. 

I understand what it is to be in the ‘now’ when we speak and also having clear intentions as to what outcome I want from the act of communication. We are human and do slip up from time to time, so do forgive yourself whenever you do.

I have learnt that there is a deep impact of words and thoughts on ourselves and on others.

Words and thoughts mould our future, our behaviour, our reactions, our emotions and literally our lives. 

From experience, I have found out the hard way how important it is to be mindful of the words we use on ourselves and others, for the results can be amazing or devastating. The path from ease to disease can be ignited by just words. 

Words, thoughts and sounds are vibrations that carry its intentions through the air like radio transmitters. When we hear a scream or a shrill cry, our body reacts with a startle or with goosebumps all over our body. It puts us on alert to run or defend ourselves.

I was fortunate early on to have come across books on Psychoneuroimmunology and one on epigenetics called the ‘Biology Of Belief’ by former medical school professor and research scientist Bruce H. Lipton - if you get a chance to read it, it will be clear to you that your health is dependent on the words and thoughts you use on yourself and importantly the words you use on others. 

Unfortunately, many in the healthcare industry use fear to demand compliance from those under their ‘care’.

Words, thoughts, sound and intentions are vibrations that can impact matter. 

Dr Masaru Emoto has carried out very interesting experiments with water at critical points for freezing. He claims that words expressing emotions have an effect on the crystals formed in the process. 

Emoto reports that words with positive emotional content produce beautiful crystals and those with negative emotional content generate ugly ones.

Music, voice, and other sounds, when exposed to water, cause its frozen crystals to be chaotic when thoughts, intentions or words of a negative manner are projected on it. 

On the other hand, when thoughts or words are projected with positive energy such as ‘Love’, the water crystals are organised, in symmetry and beautiful.

Although his findings and methodology has generated criticism, quantum mechanics and epigenetics supports his findings that words, thoughts, sound and intentions have an impact on water or matter.

Cymatics – a study of sound vibrations and its effect on matter is another example. 

Sound resonates matter and forms shapes and if the pitch and intensity is high enough it can break glass or other solids. 

The shapes these sounds make can be found in nature. The vibrational frequencies manipulate and restructure the water in a way that can turn a polluted water source into a healthy and perhaps even healing source of water.

Since about 70% of the human body is water, you can imagine how this all begins to make sense.

Words and thoughts have the ability to change us right down to our DNA. 

The placebo effect is a fine example of what thoughts of a super cure in a pill can do when it is only a sugar pill. 

Words and thoughts are powerful, use caution when using them. It can mean life or death to some or prolonged suffering in others.

Unfortunately, in many cases, healthcare workers give such a negative prognosis on a patient’s condition it takes all their hope away. 

In my case 10 years ago I was bluntly told that I would die if I did not take the advice of my cardiologist to go for a bypass. I refused to accept his dire prognosis and took control of my own health, I never went back to see him.

However, after much pressure from friends who are doctors that didn’t believe that I was cured, I underwent a test under another cardiologist a year later who gave me a clean bill of health.

So the point I want to make is, please take control of your health, do what is necessary to lead a healthy life. Sleep well, eat well, exercise well, hydrate well, take proper supplements, address all your emotional baggage and clear your mind with meditation or therapy. 

All this is in your absolute control. 

Change the narrative that you use on yourself. Stop criticising your actions, looks, abilities etc, those words hurt you more than you know. 

And just as easily, your words you use on people that surround you can be altered carefully and lovingly to attract the kind of environment that supports your wellbeing.

Words can be a spell or a blessing, the choice is yours. – The Vibes, December 14, 2020
