‘The infinite potencies of sound derive from the Creative Word, Aum, the cosmic vibratory power behind all atomic energies. Any word spoken with clear realization and deep concentration has a materializing value. Loud or silent repetition of inspiring words has been found effective in Coueism and similar systems of psychotherapy; the secret lies in the stepping-up of the mind’s vibratory rate.’

Paramahansa Yogananda, footnote from Autobiography of a Yogi

I suspect most of us underestimate the power of the spoken word. We don’t think twice about giving words of encouragement to a friend or loved one when required, and yet how often do we take the time to encourage ourselves? The technique of remembering a name or word on the tip of the tongue when consciously stating ‘it will come back to me in a minute’, is the same technique that can be applied to instructing our mind, body & spirit to self-mastery.
Likewise, negative thoughts or suggestions, whether about the self, or aimed at another, has the potential for real harm. When one ponders the true power of the word, that it carries a vibration, an energy, the realization dawns that being present in the moment, being super-conscious of our every thought and spoken word is creation at its most potent.
Think inspiring thoughts.
Say something nice to yourself, and keep saying it.
