Being Consciously Aware of Your Speech
Your individual and unique power of speech is one of the
most significant elements that distinguishes you from other species that you
share your planet with. The great use of this power provides you with
opportunities to shine your qualities, thoughts, and feelings without being
harmful to the ones you are expressing to. What you say, how you say the words
and the methods you use to communicate and how effectively you communicate
makes a great difference when interacting with others. It is your intention
behind your speech that will come through your verbal and written words, and
this intention does not go unnoticed as your intention carries its own energy
that is an important part of your ability to communicate effectively.
In order for the words you choose to be helpful,
appropriate, true and non-harmful, not troublesome, not hurtful or abusive and
not to include negative gossip or chatter, its important dear ones to tune into
your conscience, listen to your intuition and allow it to be your guide for
knowing what to say and what not to say. It is important dear ones to
understand how the words you choose to express to another, either through
written or verbal form may affect others. By not consciously thinking ahead of
what you wish to express, more often than not what you intended to express
becomes misunderstood.
With your discipline and focused effort to continuously
search for ways to improve and enhance your ability to communicate, to bring a
greater quality into your speech, the practice speaking and communicating in a
non-hurtful way, a way that is moral, sound and compassionate you will discover
your vocabulary has increased and your emotional tone in your voice, your
facial expressions and body language supports the positive changes you are
making to enhance your communication skills. Being able to speak to others
effectively, without bringing harm to others will improve the quality of your
life, because dear ones by being able to speak well, you learn about being more
focused, you understand the importance of paying attention, you understand the
significance of your intentions being good and meaningful.
We often observe how within your family or familiar
structures, how many dear souls speak and communicate in destructive and overly
reactive ways, making use of anger in their tones. Anytime you speak to another
dear soul in anger, especially one whom you have a relationship with brings
poison to that relationship. It is true dear ones, you cannot ignore your
frustrations or anger because in turn they will poison your own inner self.
What is important dear ones when you begin to feel angry towards someone you
care and love is to find a middle ground, recognize how you are feeling and
why. When you are feeling angry dear ones, this does mean you need to respond
in anger. You have a choice to allow the anger to pass and remember the feeling
of anger or frustration does not describe you as a person, it is just a feeling
and it is up to you to determine how long it gets to stay and visit. By not
clinging to the angry feelings, you are able to speak and respond in constructive
ways that allows room for the other person to express how they are feeling in a
positive way as well.
What we have also observed is how many dear souls love to
talk and chatter about anything and everything, but there are few who actually
take the time to actively listen. In order to communicate effectively through
speech dear ones, you must be able to listen and know what the other person is
saying, and show an interest in what they are sharing. It is well understood
dear ones; the people that like to talk so much will miss many opportunities to
get to know the people around them because they only looked at the receiver of
their words as an audience. However for the dear souls who talk too little will
miss the opportunity to make themselves known and understood and will not be
able to engage in the conversation. Being conscious during any conversation,
even one that is in writing means looking for a balance between your ability to
speak and listen. It also means not being so self-centered and stuck in your
own private world that would leave no room for anyone else to share and
respond.
When you are consciously aware of your speech and its
effectiveness you are also demonstrating that you are in the NOW moment and
fully present when you speak and when you listen. During the time you are
speaking, you become aware of the tone of your voice, you are able to determine
how emotional you sound, how loud, if your voice or tone demonstrates hostility
or compassion and being aware of these things will affect the words you choose
to express and the gestures your body uses and the expressions that cross you
face will help deliver your intention. Being present in your heart, body and
mind – balancing speaking and listening will help improve the interpretation of
the ones that are listening to your words.
Of all the practices that encourage development, not just
in your spiritual practices but effects your personal life, being able to speak
effectively is one of the most difficult but also the most rewarding when you
work on making this area better. No matter how committed you are to your inner
work, when it is time to talk and express yourself, many times what you wish to
communicate and the intentions behind your delivery seems to vanish the moment
to speak or to respond becomes available.
In order to improve how you communicate, its important
dear ones to become aware of your voice as you speak and during the time you
are talking. It is easy to begin being aware of your voice but as your
conversation lengthens you forget about being aware and the intentions behind
what you wish to express vanishes. It is increasingly valuable during any
conversation that you are part of to remain present, not to wander off or ahead
in your thoughts, to be attentive and aware of both your voice, and tone, but
also how the other person is receiving your words. It is important dear ones to
spread your awareness into every corner of your life with the understanding how
the power of your speech may only light once corner of your life, but it is one
of the keys that opens many doors of growth and development opportunities.
Understandably dear ones, being able to speak consciously
is more than being aware of the sound of your voice. It is also being
consciously aware of the meaning of the words you are about to choose and
bringing your intentions into your actions that speak love instead of having
ego-centered motives. It is well observed dear ones that much of what is
expressed between people during conversation or through written responses is
judgmental, criticizing and many times houses destructive emotions that will
compel you to say things that are hurtful, words that cannot be retracted.
During any time an interaction with others becomes
available and if you speak from a self-centered stance, you are thinking
everyone is interested to listening to you talk about yourself, while at the
same time you offer no pure and honest interest to the people that are
listening to you speak. This kind of action behind your power of speech speaks
clearly of your ego and every time you seek attention through your
communication by not being interesting or knowing what the other dear soul has
to share ultimately feeds your hungry ego. The less you criticize and hurt
others through your words and actions the less critical you are of your own
self. Therefore, the less you talk about yourself, the less you become cornered
into your own ego-centered world. Understand dear ones; your ego can have a
very strong hold on you if you allow it so much control. Your ego fears any
light of your ability to become more consciously aware of others and how your
intentions behind your actions and words impacts your freedom to express and to
develop into the peace loving dear soul that we know you are capable of being.
Being able to say what is true and real requires you to
be conscious and aware. Well-chosen words, either through written or verbal
form that come from the heart will enhance any relationship and open the doors
for new ones to develop, and your ability to speak well deepens the bond
between you and the one whom you are speaking with. Being consciously aware of
your intentions and words also includes your ability to speak and to
communicate from the entirety of your Self, which means what you feel, mean and
say when appropriate and useful you will say what you mean and feel that is
heart-felt.
When you honour the other dear soul whom you are
communicating with by being aware of their presence, allowing them to actively
join in the conversation by listening and being aware of certain cues from them
and by being aware of your own intentions, voice and words you are honouring
the kindness of the other dear soul as well as your own. Making room for others
dear ones by listening and by being fully present in speaking and listening
will bring peace, calm and pleasure in any interaction.
