The Power of The Word

Quantum physics shows us that everything has a vibration. Sound can change vibration, much as a tuning fork, when struck, makes strings near it vibrate at a different frequency.

We move closer to God by raising our vibration. This is the purification the Bible talks about.

As our vibrations rise, it becomes easier to love others and intend peace. It becomes easier to make our lives work.

I know from personal experience that when I raise my vibration, whether through prayer, meditation or sound, I feel far more loving. I then behave in more loving ways toward the world in general. Not surprisingly, it follows that my life goes far more smoothly.

Reaching a higher vibration is what Jesus wanted for us. He told us over and over again not to get stuck in the low vibrations of fear or revenge, but to train our minds and hearts to forgive and love.

Although we might like there to be exceptions, 1 Corinthians 6: 7- 8 makes it clear there are none:

Now, therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. Luke 6: 27-28

Jesus told us that to reach the kingdom, we have to learn to see beyond the limited thinking we are so familiar with that focuses on fear and punishment.

Raising our energy automatically lifts our thoughts to a higher place more aligned with God, love and compassion. If we raise it enough we will "enter the kingdom" because the kingdom of God is within us.

Mark 12:34: You are not far from the kingdom of God.

Every choice we make in a day either helps us move closer to God or moves us away.

The sounds we hear in our lives can raise our vibrations. They can also lower them. If you realize certain sounds drain or irritate you, stay away from those sounds.

For instance, if your TV is on all the time and you find yourself frequently irritated or tired, turn your TV off and leave it off. Give yourself some silence. Or find wordless music that you find beautiful and which transports you.

The ancient Egyptians used sound, along with movement, color and fragrance to cleanse and heal themselves. Through a type of holistic theater they raised their vibration which resulted in feeling better. Going to the theater for this "treatment" was a delight and a type of medicine for them.

If you want to test the power of sound, try an experiment. Stand alone in a room - without any other sound - and sing the syllable HU for ten minutes.

HU is an ancient name for God. Let yourself go and sing HU over and over. You can dance or move if you like as the power of God's joy begins growing in you.

At the end of ten minutes you will be vibrating with a feeling of power and happiness.

What you will have done is raise your vibration closer to God using "the power of the word."

If you like you feel, do this every morning before you pray and your connection with God will grow stronger.
