Words are very powerful.  A person on the spiritual path is aware of this keenly.  Words are like seeds. If we plant flowers we get flowers, if we plant vegetables we get vegetables, but if we plant weeds we don't have a garden that yields anything we can eat. .   Beautiful words that are positive and loving will yield loving and positive results but words that are bitte will yield bitter results. Right Speech is an important tool in personal development.  

Just as the way we think affects the way we speak, the way we speak affects the way we think In fact much has been written in the field of cognitive psychology about "self talk" and how this affects our self esteem and our interactions with others.  Being mindful of our speech can have a wonderful effect on all our relationships and most importantly upon ourselves.  Bad speech such as cursing scares children and offends many people.  

There is a metaphysical principle that your word is your wand; your speech has a powerful effect upon your life in fact creating your reality/life.  Thus it is wise to only affirm that which is good, speak well of your future and positively about what you wish to happen in your life and the world.  It is also wise for us to speak well of others and use our words to build people up. We should not tear them down. When creating affirmations think positively, creatively and learn to do this all the time throughout your life and throughout the moments of your life.  Let no idle or cruel words form from your lips and you will see an amazing transformation of your life. 

Changing our speech patterns can be hard when we have developed bad habits of speech.  Let us examine using Affirmations as a spiritual tool.
