Positive power
Positive words have power to stir up life in us or in someone who is depressed and forlorn. They give comfort to others, reveal the beauty and goodness that we see and experience in them. Expressing the beauty we see in others is affirming who they really are in their essential being.

Words have power
Words have power. They contain ideas and feelings. We use words to communicate with others. Reflective writing is an excellent tool that enables us to discover the meaning of these words, where they originate within us and how we are affected by the words of others. It enables us to acquire self-knowledge.

Words can destroy
But words also have the power to destroy. Negative words cut through the very fabric of a person’s soul. These painful words may linger in the subconscious-mind for years especially in children as well as any time throughout our life.

Reflective writing helps us re-establish balance when our inner and outer world becomes confused. Words and feelings show up in our minds. Writing helps us to sort things out. When we experience mixed feelings, writing help us express words clearly and we discover where within us they originate. They may originate in our mind, in our emotional zone, in our body or deep in our being where God speaks. When we interact with others or when we want to communicate deep feelings, words help us explore what is stirring in us. In our daily life, we become aware that our words have the power to create or to destroy, make things fit together or wreck things up, bring things about or tear them apart. Words help us to explain, to cut, cause pain to others and to ourselves. Reflective writing is a powerful tool for personal and spiritual growth and healing.
