Begin Bright Series: Day 17 - The Power Of Words

In this peacebeam we look at the power of words. All words have a cosmos of meaning attached to them and tremendous potential to alter the way we view and experience things. By choosing a word to beautify our day, we can let its positive energy permeate through the next 24 hours. This peacebeam can be used individually or as one day of the Begin Bright series.

Transcript

Hi and welcome.

Let's begin.

Step one,

Notice.

How do you feel today?

Just check in with yourself and see how you're doing,

How you're feeling.

Maybe just scan your body,

See if there's anywhere that you're holding tension.

And if it's easy,

Just let that go.

Relax your face and smile.

Step two,

Breathe.

Just start to focus now on your breath.

Tuning to your natural rhythm in and out.

Feel the movement of the air,

The rise and fall of your chest.

And just be here for a few moments,

Breathing.

And now we'll just connect your breath to your heart.

Imagine that your breath is moving in and out through your heart in the beginning to speak to each other,

Greet each other.

And the rhythm of your heart and the rhythm of your breath is connecting,

Creating a sense of deep relaxation for you,

Just for these next few moments.

Step three,

Activate.

There was a study done in the US recently where they looked at the occurrence of words in modern literature and particular words like honesty,

Patience,

Compassion,

And kindness.

And they found that these words have declined in use by about 74% in the last 50 years.

And this is an important thing for us to be aware of because language is the container for our lives.

Individually and as a collective,

We connect and understand each other really only through language.

The words we use have tremendous power to impact the people hearing or reading them because words contain a cosmos of meaning for each of us.

And it's not just the meaning,

It's everything attached to that world.

Words have long trails like comets,

Pulling the events of our lives,

Our memories,

Our hopes,

Fears,

And desires with them.

So today we are going to choose a word to beautify our day.

And you can choose your own,

Whatever has already come to your mind,

Or choose one of these that I'm going to give you.

Just take a moment to listen and breathe gently and feel which one is yours for today.

Truth,

Beauty,

Grace,

Laughter,

Wisdom,

Courage,

Gentleness,

Radiance.

Step four,

Beam.

You have chosen a new word today to make your language and your day more beautiful.

So let the essence of your word fill you now with its energy,

With its light.

Feel that build in you and beam that energy out to the world.

Have a beautiful day.

I love this! Thank you, Peacebeam.
(When you spoke of words . The power of language, of words, the vessels for our connection, and consciousness.. words like comets.. my whole body inside was tingling. I love language, and words. What a brilliant, clear, 5 minute centering and uplifting meditation.

Nice meditation, short and sweet. Pleasant voice.
Just what I need on a busy morning.

Wow! Great great practice, one of my favorites!! Thanks Peacebeam for bringing peace with ur knowledgeable, wise & kind words. 💜🙏🥰

I really liked that. It just appeared in my feed and felt perfect for today, which is my birthday 💕💕

The power of words—spoken and written—is so underestimated, and therefore abused these days. It’s important—and energy-saving!—to carefully choose your words and when to speak at all! Thank you for bringing that to mind for me this morning.

Grateful 🦋🙏there’s so many beautiful words to choose . Love 💗 Joy 🦋 kindness 💫🌊 ☮️ peace . Thank you for this 💗

Beautiful reminder nicely said
Your suggested words when heard themselves light up positive feeling
Moving in grace today
Thank you 🙏🏻😎🤗🌞🖖

I love this series. It’s incredible how 5 minutes with Peacebeam can instantly boost my day with positive energy!

If can feel like eternity waiting around for people to wake up so you can talk about all these things with them. I find myself trying to navigate what to say and not say too much to people who still are present when they should be.
I’m calling being vacant these days. It’s the expression I get when I’m talking and the blank stare is in play but not really engaging. There is shaking of head for ponderance and acceptance is there but the information doesn’t truly land for many. So I’m always looking for ways to improve my relationships and help others find ways to stop complaining so much.
I have a group of people I spend time with one day a week that sit around contemplating life while waiting for the event to end. They do not realize the things they say. I’m so tired, I haven’t done anything for myself in awhile. Then when you tell them to add themselves into the planner that sitting right in front of them there are excuses. I don’t have time is the number one. But we all do somewhere. Parent ourselves like we parent our children. I got that from Dr. Shefali! It’s amazing what we can do when we help each other and let our loads get lighter. I just want to be helpful but not appear pushy.

💖that today after 3 years, that today I would re-visit this meditation, this is the medicine my heart so wisely needed, thank you💖
