How The Words We Choose Shape Our Lives

I'm currently writing my 2nd book - it's about Mind Power: I want to remind everyone that we all have a subconscious mind. It's much more powerful than the conscious mind, so how come we're not making more use of it?

Our subconscious can be a very helpful ally in helping us to achieve success in our lives, or it can keep us stuck repeating negative behaviour patterns. So the book describes ways to develop awareness and empower ourselves through conscious thought.

It will be published later this year, please let me know if you'd like to pre-order a copy.

Words build our worlds!

Words influence our beliefs, direct our actions and create our day-to-day lives. Their impact flows from the emotional responses and feelings they awaken in us when we read them, speak them, hear them or tell ourselves something.

Words are energy — simple as that. They can lift us up or drag us down.  Most people aren’t even aware of the power of words or how the words they use affect themselves or others.   Crucially, though, what’s very important to realise is that our thoughts are made up of words and our thoughts are more powerful than we know.

Most of us have a belief that our thoughts are private and that without us sharing them with other people, then no-one is going to know what we’re thinking.  However, whether they are expressed to another person or not, our thoughts are fundamental & vital in influencing our wellbeing and show up in our lives by the choices we make and our outcomes.  As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t.  You’re right!”

Everything is Energy

According to quantum physics, it’s not just words that are energy, everything is energy and is sustained by energy.   We ourselves are energy and it is my belief that we humans possess 2 bodies – one is our physical body and we also have an energy body – more commonly known as the aura.

This auric field is a projection of the bioelectrical energy produced by our bodies and nervous systems.  It surrounds us and reflects our physical, emotional and spiritual state.   For centuries, it’s been depicted as halos in sacred art, and now it’s recognised in modern science as the electromagnetic field that envelops every living being, powered by the infinite energy of the cosmos.  Nowadays, it’s even possible to take photographs of one’s aura (Kirilian photography).  What’s very important to know though, is that our auric field is flexible and is influenced by our thoughts and words!

Our auric field acts as a protective energetic interface between us, our environments, other people and has many purposes:  It can act as a shield against negative energies, it can affect our health and is important for maintaining vitality & health.  A strong, healthy auric field is believed to be essential for maintaining emotional equilibrium and protecting oneself from negative emotions, and it’s also believed that the aura affects how others perceive and interact with us.  Furthermore, some perspectives suggest that the auric field is a link between the individual and the universal energy field.

In a nutshell, the words we speak to ourselves influence the energy we radiate. Positive self-talk nurtures and amplifies our aura, boosting our wellbeing, vitality, confidence, and emotional balance. But when we engage in negative inner dialogue, our energetic field can shrink, making us more vulnerable to stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

So, what’s your self-talk saying to you?
