“The highest, most effective energy on this planet is the word. There is nothing beyond it, there shall be nothing beyond it, and there was nothing beyond it; therefore, we must consciously understand the power of the word. When we understand the power of the word and we apply the whole mind behind the word, then we create the word which can create the whole world for us.” ~Yogi Bhajan

The word yoga means union. The words you speak at any given time, reflect your state of union or non-union with the web of life in which you live.

Therefore, practicing conscious use of the word is one of the highest forms of practicing yoga. The words you speak as well as the quality and vibration of your voice reveals everything about you and your current state of consciousness. When you observe your current speech patterns and use of language and then begin to consciously change the way you speak by practicing attention and intention, you will awaken to a new level of manifestation and creation in all areas of your life. You will start to experience your intimate relationships and friendships on a new level, inviting truth and love to reign supreme within them. You will bring new life and creative energy and a whole new array of possibilities to your life’s work. Using language in its highest vibration will open new channels for you to express yourself and experience life as you may have never imagined it, because you didn’t have the words for it, literally!

Word Yoga is the science of working consciously with the spoken word. Through your conscious choice of language or the spoken word, you are able to tap into what is one of the most powerful tools you have for creating your reality and attracting the abundance of your destiny.

As a human being, you demonstrate your creative power and free will in the words that you speak. This is true not only of the words you speak to others, but also of the words you speak to yourself. You may have never stopped to think about the fact that you talk to yourself all day long. Your mind moves nonstop with words. Through the use of word you help create your environment and everything in it, including most importantly your relationship to yourself. Unconscious use or misuse of the word is responsible for perpetuating negativity and unhealthy patterns of behavior and even illness. Your deepest insecurities come from words that either you or someone else has told you about yourself and you believed. Words are received deep in your psyche and they begin acting upon you immediately, physically, mentally, and emotionally, especially if you believe them on some level. Many unfortunate events have taken place in people’s lives and in the world because of the misuse of the word. Once you understand the power of the word, it becomes very clear how important it is to speak in a conscious and awakened manner, using language that best expresses your deepest truth and creates harmonious and light filled relationships between you and your environment and the people in your life.

Words carry a creative vibration.

As a human being you have been given the gift of language and free will to create whatever your heart desires. This makes you different from any other species on the planet. You have creative power through language. At any moment, you can choose the words that come out of your mouth. You affect and put your mark on every situation you encounter in space and time by the way in which you chose to do this. The words you speak hold energy vibrations which vibrate the ethers and bring into matter the effect of those vibrations. You are literally creating the world around you by how you use the word. Positive, high vibrational language backed with clear intention creates a space for you to express your deepest Truth and Identity in every moment. When you do this, the forces of nature serve to help you bring about the life and relationships that you truly desire. You will also call out the highest vibration of the person or persons you are speaking with when you operate the word consciously bringing clear communication and the most desired outcome to your interactions with the world.

In the science of yoga, the most powerful use of word is the vibrating of Divine Word or mantra.

These sacred words, often called words of power, hold the vibration of Truth which has been carried down through the ages to give us a pathway back to the Divine. This practice shows up in some form in almost every spiritual tradition of the East and the West. The practice of vibrating Divine Word or chanting mantra over time will bring you into a state of expanded, higher consciousness. It will awaken the light of your soul, which will brighten your aura and increase your magnetism, so that you may shine your gifts upon the Earth in service of humanity. Chanting mantra calls out the energy of the words you are chanting to surround you and fill you with divine Light and Wisdom, knowing that you are connected at all times to your infinite Creator, the true source of the Word. The chanting of Divine Word will bring you from head to Heart Consciousness. In this challenging age you are invited to vibrate Divine Word that you may awaken the process of peace and self-healing in your life.
