The Energy of Words
Our words carry vibration and power — shaping not only how we feel, but how others feel around us. When we speak with kindness and awareness, our energy expands and healing begins.
The Energy of Words
I came across this quote from Bruce Lee recently:
“Don’t speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn’t know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that’s why it’s called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life.”
It really made me pause and reflect on how the energy of our words doesn’t just shape our own inner world — it ripples out and touches everyone around us.
At Holistic Health Colac Otway, we often speak about energy flow, balance, and the mind–body connection. The words we speak are part of that flow. They carry vibration and intention, influencing how our energy moves through the body, how our nervous system responds, and how we connect with others.
The Vibration of Language
Every thought and word carries a frequency. When we speak with kindness, gratitude, or compassion, our energy expands. Our bodies feel lighter, calmer, more open. But when we speak with frustration, judgment, or self-criticism, the opposite happens — our energy contracts, tension builds, and the body begins to mirror that inner tone.
Even casual self-put-downs or negative jokes can quietly reinforce patterns of stress or limitation. The body doesn’t understand sarcasm; it simply responds to the energy it receives.
The Ripple Effect
Our words influence not only our own wellbeing but the collective energy of the spaces we inhabit. A gentle tone can calm a room; a harsh one can unsettle it. If you’ve ever felt drained after a difficult conversation, or uplifted after a kind one, you’ve already experienced this.
Speaking consciously is a simple yet powerful way to support energetic balance — both for ourselves and for the people we care about.
Using Words as Medicine
In our holistic approach to health, we recognise that healing begins on many levels — physical, emotional, mental, and energetic. Words can be medicine across all of them.
Try this as a practice:
Speak gently to yourself when you wake up.
Notice the energy behind your words before you speak them.
Offer small affirmations of gratitude or kindness throughout the day.
These simple shifts can re-tune your body’s energy field, bringing more harmony and ease to your system.
A Closing Thought
If words truly cast spells, then we each hold the power to create change through what we speak — to ourselves, to others, and into the world.
By choosing words that heal, we nurture not only our own energy but the shared field that connects us all.
May your words be soft, your tone kind, and your energy ever-expanding. 🌿
If you’d like to explore how your body and energy field respond to the language of thought and emotion, our practitioners at Holistic Health Colac Otway offer sessions in Kinesiology, Reiki, Spinal Flow, EMDR, and other holistic modalities to help restore balance from the inside out.
When we align the energy of our words with the energy of our body, healing happens naturally.
