The Spiritual Power Of The Words You Speak
Have you ever stopped to truly consider the words you speak? Most of us talk all day, every day, without realizing the impact of each syllable we send out into the world.
Words are much more than just communication sounds. They’re vibrations, frequencies, and intentions. Whether spoken softly, shouted out loud, or whispered quietly to yourself, every word carries mystical energy.
In many spiritual traditions, the spoken word is seen as a powerful metaphysical force or divine power. It is a force of creation and transformation.
From magical incantations to sacred ceremonies, words have long been used to shape everyday reality, influence the world and improve life.
The earliest recorded reference to the power of speech dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. In the city of Uruk, magical incantations were found carved onto clay tablets dating back to approximately the 5th century BCE. These spoken spells were used for protection, healing, and influencing others, revealing a deep understanding of the energetic and powerful nature of speech as early as 2,500 years ago.
Around the same time, the ancient Egyptians believed in the concept of heka, which is often translated today as “magic” but really means “divine creative power.” They believed the gods used heka to create the world, and that humans could access this same creative power through sacred words called hekau.
The Lesser-Known Art Of Trance Healing
Many psychics and mediums are naturally drawn to healing and energy work. Many of us feel an innate pull toward alternative therapies, especially those that call upon the loving assistance of the spirit realm to heal the body, mind, and soul.
Whether we’re seeking healing for ourselves or exploring how other healers invite spirit intervention, the journey can be enlightening and transformative.
This interest in spirit-assisted healing became particularly strong for me recently when I visited a trance healer in Spain. He is a gifted medium and a highly respected healer, known both locally and in the United Kingdom.
There is something both grounding and ethereal about him, as though he walks the line between worlds with grace and strength. He has worked with spirit for most of his adult life. Even as a child, he had profound experiences with the unseen world.
As someone who works regularly with spirit in my own practice, I know how vital it is to tend to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. He seems to understand this intuitively, and his healing touch addresses all of those aspects for me.
He practices trance healing. It’s different from the more traditional laying-on-of-hands and Reiki approaches. During our sessions, I feel intense waves of peace, warmth, and an almost electric tingling sensation, even though he never physically touches me. The energy flows through me with unmistakable potency, and it’s clear that something or someone from the spirit realm is orchestrating the experience.
What I Learned From Egyptian Goddess Hathor
From the moment I first encountered her, Hathor, the ancient Egyptian goddess, she felt like a luminous companion on my spiritual path.
To me she isn’t just a myth or a symbol. She’s a living presence and a spiritual guide. She’s also a gentle yet powerful presence in my psychic and healing work. Her energy speaks to me on a deeply intuitive level.
My connection with Hathor began unexpectedly while reading a book on ancient Egypt. Suddenly, I felt a comforting warmth surround me. It was as if a long-lost friend had returned.
Then, I was guided to raise my hands, palms facing outward and I sensed her hands and palms facing mine. A glow of golden light flashed before me and I felt a warm sensation entering my palms and almost as though my hands were being supported and held, and all time was suspended.
In that timeless and powerful moment, Hathor’s nurturing love enveloped me, and her ancient wisdom whispered that time is merely a construct.
In the Infinite Light, there is no past or future, only this sacred now. In is in the present moment that healing and miracles unfold.
As a psychic, I find that Hathor naturally aligns with my practice. She is not just the goddess of love and beauty, though she radiates both. She embodies a vibrant, nurturing energy that opens emotional and spiritual channels.
Manifest Your Best Life With The Moon Phases
Aligning with the moon’s phases is a powerful tool for manifestation, emotional balance, and energetic cleansing. Its ever-changing phases offer varying energy frequencies that can be used to improve many aspects of life.
Many ancient traditions revered the moon as a divine feminine force. Honored as a celestial goddess, her light was believed to guide humanity. Her journey across the sky mirrored the universal cycles of life, death, and rebirth that govern everything.
For the Greeks, the moon was Selene, the shining personification of lunar power, radiating purity and grace as she drove her chariot across the night sky. Selene was also linked to Artemis, the fierce goddess of the hunt and wild places. This connection embodied the moon’s untamed nature and its link to the wilderness.
Another important figure was Hecate, the formidable goddess of magic, witchcraft, and crossroads. She represented the moon’s mysterious and powerful aspects, guiding souls through the night. In Indian mythology, Chandra, the moon god, personified beauty and light, bringing calmness and tranquility to the night.
Throughout these ancient traditions, the moon was consistently viewed as a mysterious guide and careful keeper of sacred timing. Her rhythm influences everything from harvests to human emotions.
When we intentionally tune into this ancient, cosmic rhythm, we discover the profound, often subtle ways the continual ebb and flow of lunar energy directly influences our inner being and daily life. Our emotions, energy levels, and thoughts are closely tied to the moon’s gravitational pull and energy shifts.
The Soul Wisdom Of The Major Arcana
If you’ve ever felt a magnetic pull toward the Tarot, you’re not alone. For centuries, these cards have been used to unlock the mysteries of our life journey and soul path. Among the 78 cards in a traditional Tarot deck, there are 22 that stand out in their spiritual depth and archetypal wisdom: the Major Arcana.
The word “arcana” comes from the Latin arcanum, meaning “secret” or “mystery.” These 22 cards, beginning with The Fool and culminating with The World, chart a symbolic journey of spiritual awakening and self-discovery.
In readings, Major Arcana cards often speak to life-changing lessons and soul-level growth. These archetypal cards form the backbone of the Tarot, guiding seekers on their journey of self-realization and spiritual refinement, known as The Fool’s Journey.
When several Major Arcana cards appear in a spread, I often sense that the querent (person receiving the reading) is going through a spiritually significant phase. These cards highlight soul contracts, karmic patterns, and transformative life events. They encourage us to pause, reflect, and connect with our higher self.
In contrast, the remaining 56 cards — known as the Minor Arcana — deal more with the day-to-day. They are divided into four suits representing the elements (Cups, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands) and include numbered cards and Court Cards, often called the “people cards.” When many Minor Arcana cards show up, the reading tends to focus on practical matters, offering insight and advice for navigating everyday challenges and choices.
Holding On To What Never Changes
Nature always inspires deep thoughts in me. There’s something about pausing to watch the wind rustle through the trees or to see the sun gently filter through the clouds that invites stillness and reflection.
Today, I found myself contemplating the constantly changing seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere, we are a month away from the summer solstice, and the days are becoming increasingly long and warm with golden light. The trees are lush and full, the air hums with the sound of insects, and gardens overflow with life.
Change is everywhere. It’s evident in the ripening of fruit, the intense afternoon heat, and the subtle shift in the season’s energy toward harvest.
It’s not just nature, either. Our lives are constantly evolving, too. Relationships shift, careers transition, health fluctuates, and dreams reshape themselves over time.
No matter where we turn, we hear messages such as “Change is inevitable,” and “Don’t be afraid of change.”
Yes, change is necessary. As spiritual beings, we are meant to continually grow and evolve. Change challenges us, stretches us, and teaches us.
But let’s be honest — sometimes it’s also deeply unsettling. This is especially true in times like these, when the world feels uncertain, divided, and fragile.
How Mudras Connect Mind, Body and Soul
Have you ever wondered why some people hold their fingers in unusual positions while meditating?
These sacred hand gestures, known as mudras, are not just meant to “look cool” — they are a powerful energetic practice rooted in ancient spiritual traditions. They are intentional postures designed to channel energy, focus the mind, and deepen spiritual connection.
Mudras are an integral part of many spiritual lineages, most notably Kundalini Yoga – an energetic healing science that dates back thousands of years – as well as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, classical Indian dance, and yogic disciplines.
Its origins can be traced back to the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, where mudras were used in rituals to invoke divine blessings and spiritual power.
Over the centuries, these gestures have evolved into essential tools within yoga, tantra, and meditation practices. Their purpose: to help the practitioner direct subtle energies, sharpen awareness, and align with a higher consciousness.
In Sanskrit, mudra means “seal,” “sign,” or “gesture.” Far from mere physical postures, these gestures connect body, mind, and spirit, forming an energetic circuit that speaks directly to our auric field. Each mudra is a subtle energetic signal – each finger position resonating with specific astrological influences, emotional states, and elemental energies.
While some mudras involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and fingers. Their effects are both profound and practical, enhancing spiritual practice, supporting healing, and facilitating the flow of life-force energy (prana or chi) through the body.
