The “Seven Deadly Sins” of speaking Gossip
Judging
Negativity
Complaining
Excuses
Lying
Dogmatism
As we step back and observe our speech we have all had times where we have used one or more of these ‘sins of speech’.  Perhaps with awareness and effort we will be able to shift our speech into a powerful and positive light so that other people around us want to hear us and connect on a deeper level.
4 Foundations for Speech
Hail- To Greet or acclaim enthusiastically
H- Honesty
A- Authenticity by Being yourself
I- Integrity & Truth
L- Love
What you say is also how you say it.  As we are transparent, full of love, true to ourselves, and follow through with what we say, we will resonate more with the people around us.
One of the biggest secrets to speech, connecting to others and manifesting what we want in life is to make sure what we mean lines up with what we say.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  It seems simple but most people hide what they really mean or want.
Say what you really think or feel, with love and awareness for the people around you, then act upon what you say.  This simple formula carries vibrations from thought, to word, then finally to manifestation.
