Listen to the PodCast of "Naming Your Evolution" with guest speaker Melany DewBerry Jones.
Our guest speaker, Melanie Dewberry Jones loves words, not just for the sound of them or even there meaning but the resonance that words have. Words carry energy. Some words have sacredness to them or a higher vibration than others.
She believes that we can help ourselves and our world evolve by using language in a way that expands us and transports us to a place of hearing beyond the literal interpretation of the word. What comes to mind for me is the Unity Trinity: Mind, Idea, and Expression.
Mind (according to co-founder, Charles Fillmore) is the common meeting ground of God and man. It is the starting point of every act, thought and feeling. Idea is the primary thought of Being. It is an idea in Mind first. Expression can be thought and thought can be expressed in action or words or both. So if we look at words as a sacred expression and choose them accordingly what we create will naturally be more expansive than words that are negative.
The words that Melanie spoke that have the power to transform and help us evolve are: Glorious, Sacred, Devotion, Generative, Communion, Benevolence, and Holy. During the service we choose our own word for the year, to set our intention and bring forth a quality or a Divine Idea to express.
If you missed the white stone ceremony, I highly encourage you to listen to the podcast and do your own ceremony using a stone or another meaningful object upon which you can write your word.
Intuitively discerning our intention or our name using these words or other sacred words sets us up for the year in a positive way. We are defining who we are, who we are willing to be and who we came here to be. We pick words that will heal us, motivate us and guide our actions; so that we can create a new consciousness and a new reality. Thank you Melanie, for guiding us through this process.
