Tasting vs. Talking

 

“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” ~ A Christmas Carol

Have you ever tried to taste a word? A very wise monk in Japan said that at this time of year we hear and say so many beautiful words… joy, love, appreciation, and more. His message to me was “don’t talk them, but instead taste them”. I have always remembered this sage advice. If you taste them, your whole being reverberates with the true essence of these words. When we taste them, rather than say them, our vitality, health and happiness reflects the true depth and power of these words. This is good!!

This is my experience. Let’s take the word joy. As I say “joy”, I focus on the sensation of it rolling off my tongue, and visualize myself actually tasting the word as it comes out of my mouth. I found as I focus on tasting it rather than saying it, I can feel sensations go through my entire body. It’s like my heart pops open and I feel really good!

I feel we can bring a whole different meaning and sensation inside of us when we taste words that hold a lot of power and love. It really helps with our creativity and wisdom quotient! Give it a try.

This is such a powerful season. I know there are many of us who are missing loved ones. It is a very sentimental season. For all of us, this season is a heart opener as we all hold those we love close to our hearts.

Remember that when our hearts are open, we have the opportunity to grow inside and retrain our monkey minds. This is everywhere in literature. We don’t grow from negativity or worry, we grow from imprinting the good thoughts and feelings we want inside of us.

How do we imprint? By having an open heart, and coming from a feeling of openness to love and appreciation.

This is a great season to imprint more openness and loving ways of being in life. Taste the lights, music, and spirit of this season. The more lightness we imprint, the more our creativity and smartness increases. We build beautiful sense memories inside of us. We want to bump out any old sense memories that don’t support us.

Great loving memories strengthen our immune system and our health and happiness quotient! I truly believe our health quotient goes up the happier we are.

So let’s all strengthen our immune system through “tasting” and “feeling” the depth of words that open our hearts.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

Mastery Practice Tool

1. Observe your mind.

2. Acknowledge the thought you are currently running.

3. What you focus on expands: choose to shift to "happy expectancy".

4. Allow for a deep letting go breath. In doing this you are releasing the old and making space for a habit of focus that supports you.

5. Invite yourself to feel happy expectancy in your body.

6. Smile.

Testimonial

My daughter, Trinity, attended her first Children’s Empowerment Workshop and she loved it! It has helped her deal with some of the real anxieties that all children go through - from the not so nice kid at school, to the imagination that runs away with her at night time, when we are getting ready for bed.

She practices her rooting and the different breathing techniques that she has learned, and has become stronger and more confident in dealing with different situations.
