Word power.

 As children we were taught not to utter certain words or when uttered say bhurthu bhurthu.

Words have power. They can destroy and create. ... We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively use words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.”

We have at our disposal a power that can change lives, make a sick spirit healthy, encourage success, guide those who need it, make or break relationships and create a lasting impression of us as people. That power is the power of words.

All of us use words in everyday conversation, that's the human way of communication. We talk. Words are more powerful than anything on earth. But do we ever seriously think about what we're saying to another person or how we're saying it? Tone of voice and body language all play into what we communicate. How do our words impact our relationships with others? The words you speak to others will determine the feedback you get from them.

The ancients believed that the spoken word contained the power and authority of the Gods. In later centuries, any person who could actually write words was elevated almost to the level of the divine. Words dictated how life should be lived, what you could or couldn't do; they could be used for good or for harm. There were spells, there were prayers. The power of words was awesome.
