The Power of Words – Using Conscious Language to Manifest Your Desires
How many times have you set goals, visualized your desired outcome, created and repeated positive affirmations, and yet still not achieved what you had hoped? There are numerous potential causes for this.
Sometimes it’s simply a matter of WORDS.
Every sound you utter sends out an energy wave (or prayer) that aids in creating the world you experience. With every sentence you speak, you are literally improving or destroying your health, relationships, finances, and more.
The most powerful example I have ever heard about the use of conscious language – or actually the misuse of conscious language – was a story told to me directly by the woman who had the experience. This woman had developed an incurable disease of the eyes. She was quickly going blind, and it had gotten to the point where she could no longer read. Her physicians said there was nothing they could do.
Being very determined and not liking what she heard from the doctors, she turned to alternative therapies for a possible cure – something she would never have done had she not been in this desperate situation. A friend recommended she see someone that did crystal healing. She thought that sounded ridiculous but decided to give it a try.
During her appointment, the crystal healing therapist asked her to describe herself, her life, etc. and the therapist let her talk for about 10 minutes.
Suddenly, the therapist stopped her and said: “Did you know that in the last 10 minutes you said the words ‘I hate to see’ 15 times?”
The woman was shocked.
She used the words “I hate to see” before many things. “I hate to see the way the world is going.” “I hate to see how they are treating the children in schools.” On and on she made reference to “I hate to see” this or that.
This was literally an eye opening experience. She switched her words and improvements started almost immediately. She now has good vision.
How Many Words Do You Use that Destroy Your Ability to Achieve Your Desires?
NEVER NEVER NEVER say “I’m Sorry.”
Two of the most powerful words in the English language are the words
I AM.
These words tell every part of you – your personality, your subconscious, your ego, your spirit – who you are. They define WHO YOU ARE. Be very careful what you place behind those words.
When you say “I’m sorry,” you are saying that WHO YOU ARE is a sorry individual, someone who is worthless, despicable, and bad. Replace the words “I’m sorry” with “I apologize.”
Anyone who eliminates the words “I’m sorry” from their vocabulary will increase their self-esteem almost immediately!
The same goes for “I’m sick.” “I’m tired.” “I’m stupid.” – you get the idea. Replace those with “I feel ___” and eliminate the stupid comment altogether.
What Does Conscious Language Have to Do With Goal Achievement?
Another very important aspect of conscious language is the LAW OF FOCUS. What ever we place our attention on is what we create. It’s important to focus on the positive thing we desire rather than the negative thing we want to avoid. For example, never focus on NOT AGING. Focusing on not aging ensures that you will age . . . and quickly. Instead focus on being healthy, vibrant, and youthful.
An interesting and often overlooked part of all this is the need to avoid words that are negating a negative.
What the heck do I mean by that?
A word like LIMITLESS is actually drawing the subconscious mind to focus on LIMITS. This is NOT what we want. So saying something like LIMITLESS ABUNDANCE is placing limits on the abundance.
An example from my own life is the word EFFORTLESS.
In the past when I made affirmations, I would typically end them with the words “easy, effortless, and fun.” An example might be “Having a wonderful relationship is easy, effortless, and fun.”
This was actually drawing EFFORT into my life. Since I have eliminated that word and now only use “easy and fun” EVERYTHING has shifted. We sold our house in 2 weeks because it was “easy and fun.” – and there was no EFFORT involved. My former husband’s immigration process to the U.S. was taken care of in less than 2 months. There are many, many other examples of how this change in language has made things move very quickly and easily for me.
How Being Clairaudient and Clairsentient Can Greatly Assist You With Conscious Language
As I’ve said many times, every person has a gift, talent, or skill. We also all have the ability to see, hear, and/or sense subtle energy. When it comes to conscious language, two of these spiritual gifts or skills come in mighty handy.
The first is the ability to hear clairaudiently. When creating positive affirmations, the ability to hear your Higher Self and guides give you the “power words” you need to say out loud or even chant as a mantra is a very empowering thing. In fact, when words “come in” that way, they are often the most powerful words and insights you will ever encounter.
The other powerful skill, one of my super powers, is being clairsentient. The more you develop you inner knowing and your ability to feel energy, the easier it is to feel (knowing instantly) if a certain word or phrase is beneficial or detrimental. The second someone else says a word or phrase, I have instantaneous feedback in my own body about how it feels. Some words and phrases make me smile and think “wow, that’s empowering.”I can literally feel the energy (or power) rise up in the person when they state the phrase. Others make me want to recoil and run away at the level of detriment they cause.
The whole discussion above about “I’m sorry” comes from that place. I can literally feel how detrimental it is for so many people when they say that. It’s like they are standing there, maybe somewhat empowered, and then they say those words. I can feel their energy (power) instantly drop a whole lot of notches. It is a particularly bad phrase to say for someone having confidence, worthiness, or self-esteem issues. Women, in particular, tend to face that. There are a lot of reasons why that I won’t cover in this article.
I know that discussion flies in the face of a very popular set of words people say all day every day. Don’t get me wrong, Joe Vitale is a great guy. But those words are definitely not what I recommend. In fact, when I used to hear people talk about Honopono, I would immediately follow it up with “oh no!” It was my own little joke to diffuse the disharmonious energy I was feeling in my body.
My dear friend, Linda Shay, uses these words instead: “Thank you. I love you. God bless you. (or whatever word resonates) We are One.”
From a conscious language perspective, those are infinitely better. Instead of “God bless you,” I would probably say “Bless you” which gives you the power to bless. That in itself is a great way to become more empowered.
Being able to feel (in your own body) the benefit or detriment of something is imperative when you are on a conscious spiritual path or just trying to live life. It is how you know which teachers and teachings to follow, what things to believe, what things to avoid (including food, alternative healing methods, supplements, people, situations), and so much more. That’s the reason I so highly recommend people learn pendulum dowsing. It is the fastest way I’ve ever come across to fine-tune and enhance your intuition, your ability to “know,” and to get in tune with the feeling body that is one of your greatest spiritual instruments.Review your own affirmations and the words you say out loud or just to yourself and see how positive you are actually being.
It definitely makes a difference!

Most people are born with all these abilities.
A small child might tell their parent that there is someone standing in their room. Since the parent can’t see the “being,” they tell the child that there is no-one there. They often start making fun of the child and saying the “boogie man” is going to get them. They accuse the child of lying and actually punish them. Either reaction makes the child question what they thought they saw – because parents know everything. And, the ability is shut down in the child. By the time a child is in the first grade, they usually have completely shut down these psychic abilities.
A few people are able to maintain these subtle psychic skills. They often are ridiculed as being weird and they themselves often wonder if they are really insane – hearing voices or seeing things that others don’t see.
As we grow and mature in our spirituality, we begin getting back in touch with these psychic and intuitive skills. In the beginning, we may only have access to one. Or, one of the skill sets is easier for us.
I personally FEEL things – meaning I am clairsentient. I have an inner knowing that is beyond the rational mind. I hold a crystal and I FEEL a pulse or vibration or warmth or coolness. I’ve always loved feeling things. I walk through clothing stores and touch the fabrics. I love the softness of a dog or cat’s fur. I love the feeling I get when I step into warm water – in the bath or the tropics. I love how a storm feels – the power, the wind, the intensity of energy. I can feel the anger, tension, or love in a room – or a person.
I HEAR and SEE on occasion as well. I have found that taking a 
I spent countless hours at booths at the International New Age Trade Show in Denver, searching out what other dowsing pendulums are available on the market.
I was pretty disappointed by most of what I found.
The best way I can think of to describe most of the pendulums out there for dowsing is this: “They must have been designed for energetic neanderthals!”
Big, clunky, and in some cases downright ugly, or, cookie cutter, same old, same old, for the rest. Even my favorite pendulum designer from India had abandoned his outrageously fabulous and unique smaller designs for bigger, clunkier models.
Ick!
That’s how I felt about all of that.
Ick!
I’ll say it again.
Like all the energy healing tools I work with and create, most of the pendulums designs we offer are highly refined, simple, elegant, small, and highly responsive.
I’ll weigh some pendulums to give you a point of reference. The heaviest pendulum point that I own personally (not one of my designs) is 13 g / .4 oz. (overall weight 15 g / .5 oz. The points for some of my new designs are 3 g / the scale won’t even read the point in oz. (overall weight 7 g / .2 oz.).
Of course, I have a few that are heavier, but of significantly different materials and feel than the rest of what’s out there.
As you raise your level of consciousness and your personal frequency, you become more highly refined, more “tuned in” and sensitive to yourself, the energy around you, the people and places you encounter. And you don’t need big clunky energy tools that because of their weight can be easily dropped and broken.
You need something that has been lovingly created and energized with powerful healing frequencies. And that is exactly what you will find with the 
Whether you are new to dowsing, or an old pro, I have articles for you.
At Magnificent U, we will explore together the wonderful world of dowsing with a pendulum – from the basic fundamentals to highly advanced, specialized applications, and everything in between. We’ll talk about the tools and methodology of this truly amazing technology.
I made it a blog so you can participate, add, comment, practice, ask questions, and enhance your own experience and the practice of others. Sometimes I will post questions for you to dowse. Then we will share our answers – refining and improving our ability to ask the right questions, stay clear and centered, and look at things in a new light. It’s all about sharing, learning, and growing together. Let’s not forget to laugh.
My name is Takara and I’ll be your host. I’ve been pendulum dowsing for over 20 years for myself and on behalf of my clients. I’ve used everything from expensive pendulums I had shipped in from England to paperclips on a string. I’ve created numerous pendulum designs and offer them in the Dancing Dolphin online store. I’ve created an 
“I’ll be offline for a few days … getting my Faerie on, hanging with zany brainiacs, enjoying the creative wizardry of cosplay and sci-fi/fantasy related gizmos and gadgets, seeing many dear friends and making some new ones.”
I posted those words on Facebook, which then led to the thought that created this article …
When I speak and have booths at New Age & holistic expos, I always look around at the other vendors and people walking the aisles and smile because I know, “these are my people” – meaning this is my tribe, people who are into similar things, and I enJOY being in their presence.
When I attend sci-fi fantasy cons, I also know that “these are my people” because I so completely fit in there too.
When I lead or attend women’s business networking meetings all dressed to impress I look around and know, “these are my people” because that is a place I completely understand and enJOY as well.
When I’m out in nature sitting next to a stream with birds flying overhead, squirrels, fox and other creatures milling about, and trees smiling down at me I know that “these are my people.”
And of course, when I’m at the beach and dolphins swim past, I always smile (often with a tear in my eye) feeling complete bliss knowing that “these are my people.”
The deeper your wisdom, the broader your interests, the more places you feel “at home” and like you belong there. Certain cities, states, and countries resonate with me more than others. Certain bends in a river, mountain peaks, and people speak to my soul as others simply cannot.
Never settle for friends or lovers who mistreat you, belittle or put you down, cause chaos, confusion, or self-doubt. If you don’t feel that anyone truly understands you, then you haven’t gone to the “right” places or done the “right” things ... yet.
Take a class, go to meetups, or travel to conventions. If things like that make you nervous, then invite someone else that you know to do it with you.
I’ll tell you a little secret, I’ve made more friends going alone than with others. I strike up conversations … it’s so easy. Sitting next to someone waiting for a lecture to start, I turn to them and say, “Where are you from?” And after that, I ask, “What do you do?” Is it so easy. Somewhere along the way I ask their name and if they have a business card. I always jot down notes about people on the back … to jog my memory.
Often when I’m attending a workshop and there is a lunch break, I look around the room for someone else there alone (who doesn’t seem creepy) and go over and ask if they would like to join me for lunch. Usually, they are highly surprised and deeply grateful. So we chat over lunch. I was at a 3-day retreat in San Francisco a few years ago and ate lunch with different people all 3 days. The restaurant at the hotel was not that big, so I didn’t just grab 1 person, I grabbed 3 to fill up a table for 4. So in the course of 3 days, I had great conversations with 9 new people and several others in the room. Some of them are still friends on Facebook and we’ve had some fairly deep conversations about things that matter – to me anyway.
Sometimes the universe throws you together. I was at Yogaville at a retreat with my dear friends Jonathan and Andi Goldman. Yogaville has lots of different lodging options. I sometimes go for the shared room. Wow have I met interesting people doing that. Anyway, the first year I went, the lady assigned to share a room with me was named Mary. We instantly “clicked” into friendship. She was attending the same workshop all weekend. We talked as we went back and forth from the room to the classroom. We hung out at lunch together. We’ve remained friends ever since.
My soul-family, what I call my “inner circle,” is scattered all over the world. I met each of them in some unique way and none of it was sitting on the couch watching television. O.K. that’s not exactly true, since one of them did actually show up at my house and become my dearest friend in the world. I’ll get to how that happened in a moment.
I’ve spent over 20 years meditating daily,

“I’m so sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Please forgive me.”
Everywhere you go, you hear someone saying these words. Maybe it’s even you saying them.
Stop it immediately.
Please.
Especially if you are interested in manifesting your desires, improving your health, and being happier in life. These words can destroy your self-esteem. Or, if you are already suffering or struggling with low self-esteem, they can take you even lower and deeper into that.
After twenty years of working with highly-refined energies, 
Back to the idea of your word is law. Stuart said, “never make promises.” Definitely never make idle promises. But, if you have to say you will or will not do something, if you say you will, then do. If for some reason you can’t, let people know and make it right.
Living in New Mexico, I had to learn the hard way about flowing with change and expectations.
Plans are constantly changing there. People can’t make it to various events they signed up for. There might be a family emergency, a flood (literally) preventing road crossings, or some health issue or another. You quickly learn to live fully in the moment without expectations of what the moment you are in is supposed to look like.
Learn to trust that if something is “supposed” to happen, it will. And if a certain person is supposed to be there, they will be. The more you move into living that way, the less your happiness depends on the behavior of others, or yourself.
When you can drop expectations, you are totally free.
Who you are is a magnificent being with unique gifts, skills, and talents.
The more you apologize, the more you are telling your subconscious mind that you are not enough, that you screwed up … again, that you let someone down … again. That is nonsense.
These are not the affirmations you want to be making to the world about what you want in your life.
Yes, if you make a promise, call and say something came up and you need to reschedule. But say, “I apologize,” or “sorry,” but never “I’m sorry.”
When you have reached Avatar status, and successfully healed all your own issues, then it is time to consider taking on issues outside self. Until then, I think that Jesus quote makes great sense: “Don’t try to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye until you’ve gotten rid of the plank from your own.” As long as you are running the three core human fears:
Much of my work and products address how to raise your frequency in order to stay healthy and happy. I often share unique exercises to help you heal the past permanently and keep your vibration high instead of being stuck in fear, anger, resentment, and the other lower frequency emotions. One well-researched technique for reducing stress and improving positive emotions is
