Be impeccable with your word

The first Of the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

"Be Impeccable with Your Word"

One of the Agreements That I am exploring in spiritual growth and development of a spiritual hygeine is this one.

Impeccable used in this sense has a lengthy definition. It means being truthful, first. So pretending or holding back is not very impeccable. It means communicating love, so I must feel love before I can communicate truthfully. For me It means focussing on and activating love within me before I compose my communication.

I find this difficult if have an expectation of myself that I am not able to meet or if I harbor a fear of disappointing someone. I find that If I deliberately focus on something about myself that makes me feel special, good or funny and practice allowing connection of these feelings to me conscious presence I can feel my physiologic state change. I just love the smiles I give myself as I successfully change my perception of my day in this way. I am marvelled at my empowerment and soothed with reassurance.

Now I am better prepared to communicate love from within. I look in others for that vibration of safety so that I can communicate in my word a powerful spell of genuine love, peace, and connection. These are the treasures within everyone waiting to be unlocked and released. If you look for it, Activate it with the spell of your impeccable word, it Shines like the Sun burning away dark clouds. I love to see the radiance of another magnificent being made more beautiful by the contrast against the dissipation of negative emotions in to insignificance.

Thanks Scotty: I feel like I am constantly pondering on a concept similar to this, of working on that within us in order to enhance our relations with those around us. It really is the only, pure way. Love within first, and oh, the joy of connecting with that, and how it changes our physiology and our way of living!!! Keep posting about these will you? I am curious about the others as well.
