Conscious Conversation
Being aware has such value ... listening to WHAT and HOW you talk, others talk and what happens in between is something that fascinates me.
I used to speak a whole lot more than I speak now - and sometimes catch myself in the unconscious rhetoric of saying a phrase verb or cliche that actually is far from whom and what energy I want in and around me ...
This has been really interesting being at home ... I love to live with my great teacher she is a wealth of knowledge that in hindsight makes me understand why I was soo angry for so long with her as she really does know a whole lot ... but this comes at a price -- she is soo full of knowledge that she UNCONSCIOUSLY shares this ... whats wrong with that you ask? well there is nothing wrong with that BUT she is missing the most vital nourishment from the words she speaks because she will add in some kind of 'block' to the conversation taking flight ... now you may be pondering what I mean ...
take this example ... we are discussing about some kind of natural therapy treatment for an aliment ... banging on about how and where they learnt this and what it did - you know the juice (nourishment) but then will add on some heavy comment about someone or bring in some old pain from another situation in life that drowns the nourishment of the story so u have to wring out the story and pull it back or its lost.
Now the solution to this is stick to what you want to keep - so this is a lesson in 'letting go' like attracts like so if we want the brain to keep firing and wiring together we need to look at the degree of words that nourish the conversation and trim off the rest ... see conversation like growing a plant ... you keep on the healthy words then trim the old, rotting leaves so that more healthy ones can grow ...
try it ... its fun - being aware of your words is like speaking a new language ... ;0
