Energy and Words
Mental Health Awareness
As living humans, we all have our own energy of course as you can imagine. Some of us have frequencies that vibrant high and happy. Others have energy on frequencies that are quite low and dark, either coming from a place of pain, anger or despair. Each and every day we all have our energy with us, we can feel our own the most and should use it as a guide to what we need to give ourselves. Often our energy introduces us before we even open our mouths. Our energy exudes from every pore; our eye contact, our demeanour, our body language, our facial expression, how we walk, how we stand, what we do with our arms. As an Empath I feel this greatly, I don’t even need you to look in my direction or open your mouth at all. Simply putting myself in a room of people will tell me everything I need to know. Energy doesn’t lie, and I don’t judge, but energy is something most people don’t think of much at all, let alone realise the guidance it can give to its owner, and how we inadvertently share our energy around with other people.
Everyone can get a general idea of how someone is feeling by body language and facial expressions. If someone is walking towards you with the intent to complain and whinge you will usually be able to see it coming. They will be walking quickly and intentionally, they will be looking you dead in the eye with a gaze that is hard to escape. They will exude a dirty, aggressive energy in that state. On the other end of the scale a person who is happy and smiling with be sending a very different wash of energy over you. This is all quite normal.
One thing we may not realise though is how much our words carry energy. You can create a lot of positivity or cause a lot of damage not just with what you say but how you say it. Even telling an anxious child they are going for a hair cut as opposed to, going to have their hair done can have very different meaning and send a very different message, even though it means the exact same thing. It’s the difference in the energy transmitted from the word ‘cut’ and the word ‘done’. Words carry lots of energy wether its is good or bad, or of high or low frequency.
And we as humans often take on that energy without realising
we often feel it once it is given to us and we interpret that energy to be our own. If someone speaks to us for example saying “Now look what you made me do, you stupid idiot”, we feel their aggressive energy, it is given to us in those words and it enters our own energetic field. We also feel our own energy change to a very low frequency or embarrassment, shame, possibly anger in self defence. All of this delivered in 10 words.
It’s often not what we say, its how we say it. Let’s have a look at what energy you receive from these words: hate, dislike, don’t, away, irritating, hurt, pain, no, never or abuse. They hold an energy that vibrates quite low.
What about the energy you receive from these words: love, beautiful, home, together, yes, care, always, kindness or cherish. The energy we receive from those words vibrates quite high and lifts us up.
Words absolutely hold energy, and that energy comes to us through those words. It comes through by hearing them and it comes through by looking at them.
Consider these two sentences that are saying the exact same thing but carry very different energy frequencies:
1. Get your damn bag, get out and don’t ever come back!
2. Oh, if you can do me a kind favour, please collect your bag when you get a chance, and follow the sun, keep following that shining sun until you reach your inspired destination. Thank you oh so much!
The energy we give out from sentence 1 and 2 are so very different… And in both circumstances we’re being told to leave. The energy the words carry in sentence 2 almost inspire me wish to follow those instructions!
Words carry energy, most definitely.
The words we give to others give so much more than just the word alone. With our words we can change the world, we can give so much good or bad. We can raise beautiful souls. We can inspire or weaken, we can encourage or destroy. We have the power, it is in our hands, our mouths, our minds. Our words good or bad can carry energy that people will remember for a lifetime. It just takes a little extra careful thinking before talking. Imagine if Mohammad Ali was famous for saying “No one can beat me” or “you are all rubbish” as opposed to ‘I am the greatest”. He chose his words wisely.
I have two incredible children of my own which I lovingly guide each and every day. I give them positivity by the truckload. Naturally I am human and have my moments of frustration though in my day to day interactions with my two I aim to chose my words very carefully. I have been consciously doing this since my first was born and it now flows easily. I ask them what I need them to do, as opposed to what I don’t want them to do. I ask them to ‘walk please’, instead of saying ‘don’t run!’
One thing that breaks my heart is seeing parents or adults speak to their friends or even strangers with more care and respect than how they speak to their own flesh and blood. I see adults speak carefully in a lovely voice to their child’s school teacher, then speak to their child like they are a piece of dirt, an inconvenience. Children are very perceptive and even though they are not mature to consider their mental health awareness, we should as they take on board so many subliminal messages from an experience such as this. Like they don’t deserve respect, they are not worthy of your careful words or your lovely voice. It can do just as much damage as ignoring a child or a friend when they speak as if what they have to say is not worthy of being heard.

If we can teach our children how to choose words carefully and deliver them to other children and adults with kindness and respect, it will go a very long way. We should teach our children also that another persons choice of words and chosen method of delivery is a reflection on that person and how they feel about themselves inside.
Often the energy we send with our words to others come naturally from deep within. Someone who says “Get your damn bag, get out and don’t ever come back!” is in a really bad place personally. Their internal energy is vibrating at a very low frequency and the words that are thrown from their mouths have come from that deep dark well. While they dish out their dirty energy, it can be a good indicator that they are in need of the opposite. These people need space, and then a hell of a lot of love.
Thank you so much for being here,
