Words Are Energy

Words Are Energy

Each word we speak has a life of its own, a vibratory signature that creates waves into the expanse of the universe.

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.

Cancer Horoscope: A Hopeful Purpose

A Hopeful Purpose

June 30, 2021

Your idealism will likely be colored by naivety today because your thoughts are occupied only with that which you hope to achieve. While you may sincerely believe that a peaceful and abundant earth is within the realm of possibility, you may have no idea at all about how to begin improving the world around you. You can remedy this by researching workable solutions to the problems keeping humanity from achieving its full potential. It is likely that your capacity for enacting change will be relatively minor today, yet the fact remains that every little bit helps. If you channel your optimism into charity today, your actions will certainly make a difference.

Our hopes represent more than just empty optimism when we recognize that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for. The formulation of ideals is only the first step in a larger process that will eventually demand much of our attention and make use of a great deal of our energy. It is naïve to assume that intention is all that is necessary -- we can indeed create universal shifts with our thoughts, but it is our actions that make the world a better place in the present. Our idealism does, however, serve an important purpose in our philanthropic endeavors. When we sincerely believe that we are capable of bringing about the vision of peace and abundance we see in our imagination, we are inspired to make a difference. As you express your wish for worldwide wellness in your actions today, you will know you are part of a larger solution.

The Gift of Boredom

The Gift of Boredom

A bored mind can be the canvas upon which innovation is painted, and the womb in which novelty is nourished.

The human mind thrives on novelty. What was once a source of pleasure can become tedious after a time. Though our lives are full, boredom lurks around every corner because we innately long for new experiences. Yet boredom by its very nature is passive. In this idle state of mind, we may feel frustrated at our inability to channel our mental energy into productive or engaging tasks. We may even attempt to lose ourselves in purposeless or self-destructive pursuits. While this can be a sign of depression, it can also be an invitation issued from your mind, asking you to challenge yourself. Boredom can become the motivation that drives you to learn, explore the exotic, experiment, and harness the boundless creative energy within.

In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, boredom is perceived as a pathway to self-awareness. Boredom itself is not detrimental to the soul -- it is the manner in which we respond to it that determines whether it becomes a positive or a negative influence in our lives. When you respond by actively filling the emptiness you feel lurking in yourself, you cultivate creativity and innovation. If, when in the grip of boredom, you have difficulty acknowledging the merits of any activities you might otherwise enjoy, generate your own inspiration. Before you find yourself beset by boredom, create a list of tasks you can consult when it feels like there is simply nothing to do. Referring to a list of topics you want to learn more about, projects you've yet to begin, or even pending chores can spark your creative energy and reawaken your zest for life.

When we are troubled by boredom, it is not that there is nothing to do but rather that we are not stimulated by the options before us. A bored mind can be the canvas upon which innovation is painted and the womb in which novelty is nourished. When you identify boredom as a signal that you need to test your boundaries, it can be the force that presses you to strive for opportunities you thought were beyond your reach and to indulge your desire for adventure.

Cancer Horoscope: On Inspiration's Steps

On Inspiration's Steps

June 29, 2021

Inspiration can come from many sources today, and you may be in need of all of the inspiration you can get. This may be the day you reach a seemingly insurmountable plateau in your development -- professionally, personally, or spiritually. If you keep an eye out for unexpected sources of wisdom and enlightenment, you may find yourself in the presence of a wise individual ready to share their knowledge with you. You can facilitate this today by asking questions of everyone you meet and being forward about the confusion you are currently experiencing. The more receptive you are, the more likely it is that you will find the answers you seek.

Often, the words of a great teacher or wise individual can help us overcome roadblocks in our developmental progress that we are unable to breach on our own. During our individual evolution, we come to plateaus where it seems like further growth is impossible even though we may be able to see the next pinnacle of our advancement. Those who have walked the same path can offer us the guidance we require to find the handholds we need to pull ourselves up to a new level of development, as their perspective on the journey before us is more complete than our own. While we must still make the effort to grow, the words of encouragement we receive from our mentors will energize us as we struggle forward. Your perspective will grow as you work with a guide today, allowing you to overcome the adversity you face.
