Angel Words Visual Evidence
By Doreen Virtue

Positive words, like guardian angels, can help you soar into new horizons. The mere act of altering your vocabulary and using life-affirming words can quickly and dramatically change your life in magical ways!

I’d always noticed my unpleasant reactions whenever I or others around me engaged in negative discussions. No matter how juicy the gossip, I could feel my stomach tightening in response to talking about others. The same went for fear-based speculations about the Earth’s environment or humankind’s future.

Looking at the constricted, negative word graphs, it was no wonder why my body feels tense around negative words! Low-vibrational discussions are palpable! In addition to stomach tightening, I notice that my energy and enthusiasm becomes drained. I’m tired and no longer smiling after a negative discussion. I remember a saying that someone wise taught me as a child: “Small people talk about other people, average people talk about material things, and great people talk about ideas.” The adage is a bit blunt, but you get the idea.

I frequently discuss how our positive thoughts attract and create positive life experiences. Most people understand this concept. Putting it into practice is another thing, and is a big part of personal growth. Positive living involves choosing corresponding words, a lesson I learned firsthand many years ago.

As a busy mother of two young sons, I rarely had time to think about my own wants or feelings. Mostly I was focused upon keeping my husband happy and attending to my children’s needs. Like many young families, we had financial challenges, and some days I didn’t know how we’d afford our electricity and food. So my mental atmosphere was filled with stress and fear.

Somewhere along the line, I was given a book by Norman Vincent Peale called, Positive Imaging, about the power of positive thinking. Peale explained how our affirmations need to be filled with gratitude, as if our wishes have already come true. So I created my own affirmations tape filled with my desires, such as, “I am a best-selling author,” “I am confident,” “I have a healthy, physically fit body,” “I have wonderful friends,” and so forth.

Although these statements initially felt fictitious and false, I faithfully listened to them three times a day. I’d be vacuuming with my earphones on, listening to the affirmations. Somewhere along the line, they sank in!
I clearly remember the day when the positive words “clicked”: I was standing in line at the store, patiently waiting to buy food for my family. A man cut in front of me. Previously, I would have silently done nothing, and probably resented the man for usurping my place in line. But the affirmations tape shifted something deep inside me, and I simply said, “Excuse me, but I was next.”

The man turned to look at me as if seeing me for the first time. He apologized, and I took my turn—a huge victory for me personally, in that I stood up for myself, which I hadn’t ever done before. The words on the tape helped me honor and value myself and my time.

From there, magic happened. Everything I’d affirmed came true, in almost miraculous ways. Of course, I had to put human effort into writing the books that eventually became bestsellers, and into the daily exercise and healthy eating that enabled me to have a fit body. But I credit the positive words on those tapes for giving me the confidence and courage in order to do the work!

The number one question I’m asked “What is my life purpose?” I can heartily say that your purpose is to speak, think, and write the powerfully positive words that are so abundantly available to you.

As a writer, I’ve always found that there’s a positive and a negative way to say the same message. For instance:

“You shouldn’t say negative words, as they’ll make you feel bad.”

“Saying positive words can help you to feel happy.”

Although both sentences convey the same meaning, their energies are completely different. As you read the above two phrases, how did they affect you? Did you notice any muscles tightening or relaxing in response to each? Which sentence feels better?
Before I submit a new book to my editor at Hay House, I scan for any sentences that can be rewritten in a more positive way. Each time I do so, I can feel the entire manuscript’s energy level being uplifted. When the book consists of sentences that are written in affirmative tenses, its energy practically floats in the clouds!

It’s like the old adage about people who view the same glass of water as being half-full or half-empty. Sure, they’re saying the same thing, but who’s having more fun?

Judgment vs. Discernment
When I say a word is negative, I’m not implying that it’s “bad” or “wrong.” That is judgment, which is the ego’s way of labeling and pigeonholing everything. Instead, the word negative is a synonym for low-vibrating.

While the ego relies on up-in-the-head judgment to decide whether something is good or bad, the higher self uses discernment, which is a feeling-based way of either being attracted to or repelled by something. Ego uses labels. The higher self employs feelings and the Law of Attraction.

As an example, the ego would say that cigarette smoking is bad. The higher self would say that it’s not attracted to cigarette smoking. Which feels better, the ego’s judgment or the higher self’s discernment?
As Grant says: “…what you say and how you say it can and does have an effect upon you and your environment. The vibrations of your voice go out and have the potential to subtly change everything they come in contact with.”

“Once you have that critical piece of information, it then becomes your choice to use your words as you see fit. What I’ve learned from the research we’ve conducted is that what I say can directly affect the outcome of any endeavor I am working on. I, for one, will certainly strive to ensure my speech is much more positive in the future.”
