Energy Speaks Louder Than Words
Greetings everyone and welcome back! 🙂
Today, we’re going to discuss the importance of your energy when you’re communicating. It’s something I’ve been thinking about, and then of course reading in various places, so here we go.
You often hear that “actions speak louder than words”, and I would say this instead: The energy behind your actions matters as much as the action and the words.
For example, if you ask someone to do something for you, and they do it half-heartedly, it doesn’t feel very good for both parties. Because the doer said yes to something that didn’t align with them, which means their action also didn’t align with them. Both parties are then unhappy because the end result is usually pretty unpleasant.
In this example, it started with an out-of-alignment yes, and you get a lack of mutually beneficial energy exchange from this.
Other examples:
Children
You can’t really lie to children. They know when you’re bluffing. If you’re hurt about something but you pretend everything is fine, they can sense your bluff. And it confuses them, because they’re really good at reading energy, but your words and actions aren’t matching. I know this because I used to be a child, and I could sense all of these things.
But when you start pretending like that, then they start to emulate it, which is the worst part, because it creates a pattern of them self-abandoning so that others can be more comfortable (a pattern I’ve had to work through myself!) It creates a disconnect between you and that child, which creates a disconnect between them and other people.
Dogs
Dogs really know your energy. If you give a command to a dog half-heartedly, they won’t listen. If your dog gets away from you and you communicate to them in that panicky fearful voice, like “Rocco come!” he’s gonna hear me, but he’s very likely not coming back to me.
But if I realign with my soul and use my purely positive energy “Rocco come!!” he’ll be much more likely to come back to me. If you haven’t met Rocco, being with his mama is the number one most important thing to him 🙂
Writing
Often when I write to you all, I spend time editing. I have my moments where I’m trying to think of the best way to say something, or I rewrite stuff that essentially says the same thing as before. I swap out stories, or edit further. Then I realize, it’s really not about the words I choose, it’s more about the energy that I am transferring to you.
It’s almost like the energy is more important than the words. Whatever I hope to convey to you is done so in the sense of the energy behind the words, not the actual words themselves. Or at least not the words by themselves.
There’s a million and one ways (or more) to say any given thing! So I have to take off my perfectionist hat and place on my good-enoughist hat and hit send anyway 🙂
And hopefully you can feel whatever energy that is coming to you!
The Key is to Align With Your Energy First, Then Speak/Do
There are really two things we can do here. The first is to align with our emotional state first, check in, and see if there is anything that needs tending to. For example, if you’re tired or upset, you might need some space to tend to your own feelings before you consider communicating or honoring someone’s request.
Rather than reacting from that emotion, you could say “I am feeling emotional and need some space to tend to this.” Something to communicate what’s going on without making it another person’s responsibility. (Unless they want to talk it through with you, which is also acceptable!)
But then when you are in a calm state (your natural birthright), you can align with your Highest Self and see if whatever is being asked of you also aligns with your energy. That way when you say yes, it’s for something that also lights you up and you’re happy to do it.
Or, perhaps, you can communicate your truth in an honest way (even if it’s a no!) and both parties are still in harmony with each other. Because your energy and your words were matching.
This is the key to mutuality in relationships.
It’s Also A Key to Intentional Living
How you spend you energy matters, because your energy is your most precious resource. Further, you can use that energy to see if what you are intending to do is, in fact, in alignment with the truth of your being.
The alignment of your energy with your Highest Self’s intentions, words, and actions is much more powerful and positively yielding as opposed to when you are out of alignment with your Highest Self.
You also waste less energy this way.
Why Does This Matter?
Beyond the five senses, is the sixth sense of energy and intuition. As we awaken to our Highest Selves, we know that this energy is much stronger and more potent than the five senses. This is the energy that creates worlds, and we get to be stewards of that energy.
So if you’re like me, worrying about “saying the right thing” or “politely declining” or “setting a boundary” and “not wanting to hurt other people’s feelings”, you can rest assured that as long as you are doing so from a loving standpoint, that energy can be felt on the other side. It’s not only about what you say, it’s about the energy behind what you are saying.
It’s also not an outright rejection, it’s just a redirection for the other person (or for both parties) to realign and receive in a new and beautifully alternative way. A way that is beneficial to both parties.
I hope this made sense to you! If it didn’t, please write in the comments or hit reply on your email 🙂
Thanks for reading with me today! Have a lovely and wonderful weekend!
Love,
Angeli
