Words Can Be Felt
Why is it that words can cause you pain—real, physical pain? You might assume it’s because you heard them, processed their meaning, and then felt hurt. But let me challenge that. What if the pain doesn’t come from hearing the words but from feeling them? Think about it. Hearing something alone can’t cause physical pain, but feeling can. Words carry an energetic punch. You feel the impact before you can even fully comprehend what’s being said. The pain isn’t from hearing the words—it’s from the energy behind them. They hit you like a wave, instantly and viscerally.
Words carry energy, and that energy travels through the air, reaching you like a gust of wind. When someone speaks with anger or bitterness, you feel it before you even think about what was said. That’s because words aren’t just sounds; they’re vibrations that move energy, impacting you at a cellular level.
This works the same way for you when you are speaking. Before the words ever reach their target, they have to pass through the body of the one who spoke them. To create negativity, your body has to generate it first. Think of it like running a poisonous liquid through your own system before pouring it out—it affects you first. This is why speaking ill of others is such a dangerous game. The harm you’re trying to cast lands on you before it ever reaches the other person.
When you speak ill of someone, you might think you’re projecting that negativity outward. But here’s the catch: words are a boomerang, and they return to the sender almost instantly. If you curse someone with your words, that energy doesn’t just disappear into the void—it circles back to you. Why? Because you are the channel that generated the energy in the first place. The harm you send out has to pass through you to be sent, and in doing so, it embeds itself in your energetic field.
Imagine throwing a boomerang laced with venom. You hurl it at someone, but it doesn’t stick—it comes flying back. The same applies to words. If the person you’re targeting doesn’t “catch” the negativity, it returns to you with compounded force. This is why gossip, criticism, and ill intent never pay off. The energy you send out will always find its way home, often hitting you harder than it ever could have hit your target.
