If Your Words Were Spells …

Let’s see, the word you and I know as spell is derived from the (before) 9th century word ‘spel’ which meant incantation, charm, influence, magical powers, and fascination.

I bet you already know how powerful your words are and – when you hear certain words spoken by others (or even those you think about yourself) – you’ll know the effect they can have on all of your thinking.

But, no ‘word’ means anything, until we give it a meaning (or we are taught it). It’s our own perceptions that will decide whether or not we think a word is good, bad, loving, hateful, positive, negative, offensive, caring and so on.

With 7 billion plus people in the world, that’s a small 7 billion plus meanings and perceptions of all and everything. (And a lot of people being offended at stuff that’s, well, been made up.)

Your words (spells) are powerful, watch them, and listen to them, even the language you are thinking: that create pictures, then create meaning, then create feeling, then create reality. 50,000 thoughts a day we are making a heck of a lot up – we’re busy!

‘It’s easier to destroy rather than create’ says the quote. This destruction can also be you doing it to you. ‘Spells’ have the power to create love or to instill fear.

They have the power to generate positivity, compassion, warmth and understanding … or not. (Like, we didn’t know that!)

Sometimes we have created ‘incantations’ for our lives such as, ‘The world is a cruel place’, ‘Things are never going to change for me’, ‘I’m not good enough’, ‘Who do I think I am?’, ‘My life has no meaning’.

Such conjuring! Such influence! What power!

If your ‘spells’ (words) are not what you want to ‘cast’ anymore, time to mix up some new ‘spells’.

As another quote says, ‘I am are the two most powerful words in the world’. What is cast after them is the world you perceive, observe, live in, and ultimately experience.

Or, just ignore all the above – after all, like you, I’m just ‘spelling’ what I believe and perceive, and conjuring up a ‘spell’ that says, ‘Cast love, kindness and compassion on yourself first’.

Why? Because (my words) I believe (perception) the loving language you use on you … well … it works like a charm!
