I want to speak about slumbering bodies changed into new forms. But in my dreams everything is as normal as normal can be, too normal. As a lucid dreamer, I am used to falling into the infinite worlds of Dreamland, worlds just like ours but with a twist ready for me to discover. 

Buildings I know better than the back of my hand but have no foundations in waking. People I know but who do not match their living, breathing consciousness.

I push a wall to open a door to the Tennessee countryside and see my family farm and horses I’ve never met. I step into a Berlin plaza and make eye contact with a former classmate who for some reason has auburn hair and doesn’t speak to me but knowingly holds my gaze as she passes me arm-in-arm with a strange man; I’ve never been to Germany

. But these days, my dreams take place in schools, theatres, office spaces, and homes I have known. Their construction is not extraordinary. The cast of my dreams are the people I used to see regularly as they are in life. I haven’t met a stranger in my dreams for weeks. 

Who knew that one day reality would become the dream. But each day in this new, dreamlike existence where we don’t get to see our cohorts unless it's beside our own reflection within a zooming digital stream or hug our loved ones. We live in a world where we hesitate when we see our neighbor trip and fall across the street when all we want to do is help.

They are okay but we all know how much better an extended hand can make us feel. In this strange, intentionally isolating world, the mundane spaces and the dear people tethered to them are the dream. 

In times of crisis, I regularly recall that children’s rhyme: Row, row, row, your boat gently down the stream, Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. Stay calm, proceed gently with your vessel and do so gladly, life is wondrous, fleeting, and often made one way or the other by our perception of it.

This inverted world, this collective lucid reality though it has its challenges is wholly what we make of it; what we do in this liminal space is our choice. 

I may be accustomed to shifting things this way or that in my dreams and in the world as an artist and community member, but what this time has showed me is that I have more influence over *my* waking world, something that I haven’t felt control over for some years now.

One day I hope my colorful and fantastic dreams return, but for now I will continue to reflect on that child’s poem and if there is truth in poet’s prophecies, I shall live.

Do words really have power or it’s just a new-age spiritual mumbo-jumbo??

“Words are things, I’m convinced. They get in your wallpaper. They get in your rugs, in your upholstery, in your clothes, and finally, into you.

 Maya Angelou

The Source power or whatever name you use to address this energy created this world not just through energy or power but by “saying those words”. In different religious texts of Sanatana-dharma, the whole Universe came to life with the word A-U-M.

So, yes words have power!!!! The power of word is spread everywhere, in every religion, in every spiritual tradition, in everyday life.

Medical Profession is also waking up to the power of words now, a division of this science the Psychiatry partly depends on how words can impact a person’s well-being and positive outlook in life. Neuroscience research has shown the powerful effect words have on our brains.

Never doubt the power of words and the power that “speech” gives by using words.

The Lord of Karma, Saturn works through our 3rd Eye and Throat where the energy can be both of “manifestation” or “negative karma”.  Which is why the Dark Divine Entities of Light like Archangel Michael, Metatron, Goddess Kali, Goddess Hecate are implied for these Chakras.

The Throat is thus the powerhouse of Creation, and so are the words uttered or used in silent communication. Everything in this Universe is affecting everything else, even if they don’t seem connected, to our physical eyes and it’s becoming more and more apparent with the current situation of a virus inflected in the whole world. Earlier it was established that the entire Universe and everything in it is connected through mesh of light.

Which is why the power of words becomes multifold important. When we think or say something the effect of it ripples out everywhere and the more feelings those words have, the stronger the effect. Just imagine yourself sitting in your room talking to someone and all those words are like electric current passing on to the whole world mesh and affecting everything and everyone even if that’s not apparent just then.

The “Butterfly effect” is a way to perceive this, or think of the Nazis who were under the spell of their leader who used words to trigger and play with the minds. People couldn’t even differentiate between cruelty and the right thing to do.

Words are powerful and so they must be used for with goodwill and the will to do good.

Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.
Yehuda Berg

We can use the power of words in 6 different ways to deliver the visions and dreams to materialize in our life. Let’s see how.

PRAYERS

Prayers are the first testimony to the success of the power of words.

“Ask and you shall receive.” – Matthew 7:7

It is the language that the Cosmic matrix recognizes if done the right way. Prayer isn’t about becoming a victim and saying what’s lacking in your life so you will like to have it, but it’s praising the Universe the Source-Power that every abundance we need is here and in doing so becoming the real co-creator. Humbleness is important but being humble isn’t being a victim.

If we remain victim our words carry the energy, and that’s not prayer, but a futile gibberish to the quantum field. So, when we say the prayers with the words of power it translates back the power in us-through us making us the chalice to hold our blessings, the manifestation that we wanted.

So, people keep asking but nothing changes for them. When an art & science of the Universe is twisted and turned into what it never was, then there’s only failure to count.

While showing us the power of words the Life-force wants us to use it in all our power, taking accountability for it. That’s how the best prayers are created which becomes the manna for manifesting a good life, a sound health, better relationships, high-paying career and a fulfilling happiness.

AFFIRMATIONS

Affirmations & Invocations have re-established the power of words in a new way, by bringing the power of “now” into the words. Affirmation is simply what we say and think, and since most of the times it’s negatives it's used consciously to create a positive environment within us.

When we’re angry or complaining that’s also an affirmation to bring them into our life. So, we start to deliberately and consciously use this power of speech and words to create a whole new reality that matches our desires and dreams, thus healing the matrix of negative feelings.

When the words are spoken as if this is happening in the now; things and situations align themselves into the right place. These words become our command and the power of the Cosmic Spirit translates them into manifesting.

Remembering, every word we say is an affirmation and creating positive ones’ and using them shows the power that words have and the good they can create.

HEALING

Without doing anything if we just say the right words, think the right words our healing will be done. Many Masters did say that word is all about astral and mental body. Then how can they heal our physical body and ailments? The power of our feeling & thought is translated or worked through our physical body.

Recently in one of my healing videos, I spoke about how during my dark night putting words into my body helped me heal fast. When we realize the power, words have and its effect, we can use it to heal us, our environment, even other people.

DECREEING – COMMANDING

Commanding can be a trigger word for many, as it may feel “rude”, “unpolished”, “unsophisticated”. What commanding means in using the power of words isn’t about being brash, or know-all, or rude; but it’s about being humble that we have this power and we can use it in collaboration with our highest-potential self, our Will that ties us with our Life-flow.

When commanding we have to be humble enough to completely trust our life-flow to create what is being decreed. Decreeing and commanding are the same, as it's not being done from our ego-state but a state of surrender and deep knowing.

Decreeing-Commanding can use the same words and phrases of Affirmation and even Prayer because we are commanding our subconscious, decreeing to our subconscious about a state, that we believe is true. Decreeing-Commanding is an emotional & mental state of win, of success, of leadership, of co-creating in the truest sense.

It’s also about moving out of the victim mode, by taking complete accountability which, we shy away from most of the time.

MEDITATIVE-VISUALIZATION

We have done a lot of visualization after it was made famous. Meditative visualization is a process of taking a journey that creates not only your future but uses the words to attract what you need/want. The words are used as a code of power, it can be molded according to the situation you are working with.

Meditative visualization works amazingly and when you say these words to be used in this journey you can feel the vibrations in your body. The best part is that you see changes in your attitude, in your way of doing things for betterment. Things you wanted to do since long they start working up for you effortlessly. Words increase the potency of this exercise. If you haven’t worked through it, give it a chance.

GRATITUDE

Gratitude has been praised over and over again throughout history for being one of the best ways to get into your personal power and manifest your life or whatever you want. The words of gratitude have this powerful emotion attached to the words that expand the effect of your practice multifold.

“I have noticed that the Universe loves Gratitude. The more Grateful you are, the more goodies you get”
― Louise Hay

The words in gratitude, even a simple “thank you” is validation enough for our subconscious that things are happening. Gratitude with two words, “thank you” is enough to bring in the required & necessary changes.

With gratitude we can move past stuck situation, difficulties with ease and grace, and the feelings of lack is taken care too. This is a win-win way through the power of words.

With the right use of words, we create ripples in this Universe that affect us in ways we want to. It’s really fascinating as I am discovering the impact of words in a new way and the manner it molds our life, captivating-charming-powerful.

It may be the weekend, but you’re crazy to think we’re sleeping in. As the morning rainfall patters against the windowsill, nature’s song is drowned out by high-pitched giggles in the hallway. You grumble something I can’t quite make out before rolling in the opposite direction with the covers in tow.

“Alright,” I give in. The door swings open and our chickies slip into the sheets between us. Somehow I wind up with a tuft of Girl’s hair in my mouth, the two of us spooning tightly as if she’s seeking her return to the comforts of the womb; while Boy has perched himself on top of you, his head cupped beneath your chin, chest to chest; his little feet finding a perfect resting place on your thighs. Face it: you’re pinned.

This is how I visualize it: our life together. Sometimes, when I’m stirring the cinnamon into my coffee, I think about pouring you a cup, as well. The smell of fresh caramelized beans warms me to the bone…but then suddenly you’re the one warming me, my mind wandering to your hands on my waist and the kiss you plant on my bare shoulder; I’m molded to you. And when that vision dissipates and I’m still standing at the kitchen counter stirring the cinnamon, I can feel the gentle brush of your lips linger briefly.

I may not have met you yet, but I love you madly. I trust you. I choose you…every single time. And in the evenings, when I’m enraptured in moments of silent rumination, illuminated by the soft glow of twinkle lights and faint instrumentals sweeping the walls surrounding me; I can see your silhouette--a shadowy hand reaching out for mine, inviting me to share this dance. So, I close my eyes and picture myself waltzing in your arms throughout our home--but then I come to my senses again and remember you’re only a figment.

I don’t know your name yet or where you are in the world; the color of your eyes or the tone of your voice. I don’t know if our paths have crossed at some point without our knowing, or if we share a birthday (I’m an Aquarius). But your childhood intrigues me, as do your passions and ambitions. I wonder what your favorite ice-cream flavor is, and if you like Old Bay on your popcorn like I do. I try to imagine what your laughter sounds like; if it’s the kind of laugh that starts in the pit of your belly or one that bursts from the cavity of your chest.

I can’t wait to laugh with you; to lovingly tease each other and share jokes only we understand; to fill our glasses with wine and get lost in conversation about art, politics, and subjects that matter most to us; to stay up late and share my writing with you. I want to learn how to cook your favorite meals your mom used to make you and try recipes that will become your new favorites; to heal you when you’re sick and squabble with you over which direction the toilet paper goes in.

We’ll plan surprise birthday parties and host our loved ones for the holidays; I should tell you now that I’ll argue to keep the Christmas lights up all year round--just think of all the new traditions we can start together. If you take out the trash, I’ll fold the laundry; and while I do the dishes, you can play lifeguard while our chickies take a bath. And if you only knew how excited I am at the idea of impromptu road trips; the thought of linking my arm with yours as we parade through life; or cuddling with you and tracing my finger along the curvature of your jaw. I always lose myself in your adoring eyes while you tell me about your day.

And when money is tight and stress wears on you, I hope you let me be your solid ground. I promise I’ll always be there to catch you and prop you up.

Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you, whether we’ll know it right away or if it’ll take time to realize the role we’re meant to play in each other’s lives. I’m embarrassed to share that I’ve always been shy and afraid, rejected, and insecure; past loves have been nonexistent, and I am inexperienced; but as my husband, I know you won’t judge me for this. You won’t shame me or tear me down. You will be patient; my first of many, many things--perhaps even my first romantic date, my first meaningful kiss, the first touch I’ve ever been brave enough to receive.

You will probably be the first one worthy of my trust and vulnerability, the parts of myself I rarely show to anyone--the parts I’ve never shown to anyone. And although we have yet to meet, I already love you. I pray for you and yearn for you; I believe in you and I believe in us: lifelong companions, allies, and soulmates.

And if you ever find yourself losing hope, if you ever feel so deeply alone and broken; remember you have me. I am real, I am yours to keep, and I am out here waiting for our turn to be together.
