In the beginning was the word. The word is vibration, an expression of intentional sound. It calls out to the Cosmos and accesses the Law, putting into motion that which we desire. The word is empowered by emotion. Clarity invites specific form. Vision is put into manifest by the spoken word. It would follow that because the word is so powerful that we would consciously monitor every word that comes from our being out of our mouth…but, it is not necessarily so. Too many are careless and flippant and critical with their utterings. And all the universe can do is give you what you ask for.

The spoken word is a combination of breath, intention, and vibration, sent forth by the pulsing of the solar plexus/will center into the cosmos to claim the manifestation through the Laws that govern vibration and form. The power of the spoken word is absolute with the words themselves, washed with the intention and emotion upon which they were birthed, traverse the ethers in all dimensions for eternity…they are that strong. The word is born in the main resonance chamber of the body, infusing earth energy and power and foundation into the magnetic impact of the vibration. The throat resonance makes audible to the ear and heart of the receiver the frequencies of the harmonics that will inspire and blend with their receptivity. The nasal resonance calls to the cosmic vibrations to enter through the crown and seed the words with higher frequency spiritual substance.

It follows that one must be conscious of the words spoken, not only of their cosmic makeup, but also their power to influence, to inform, to soothe, to reveal, to clear vibration, and to educate. The emotional debris of the past weaves filaments of toxicity into words manufactured. The emotion finds ways to infiltrate and express in the name of clearing and body balance. Consciously choosing to find energetic ways to release the old and unspoken leads one to the capacity to speak clearly and powerfully.

Words carry meaning that is influenced by the personal history, choices, woundings , learning, programming, and residue feelings in each listener. Assumption made that communication is happening may be false, as the reception is so in the moment for each participant. At the very least, checking for understanding is an essential part of communication. Asking for repeat or paraphrase can steer all from acting upon misinformation or colored understanding.

Make use of spoken word phrases that empower and serve the higher vibration of life and you will find that the forms of your moments slide into agreement and flow. Use these phrases often: You can reclaim all that was lost in the past; The Universe always says. “Yes!”; At any moment you are free to continue or change your course; Nothing is as it seems; The phrase, “up until now”, gives you the now and the future back to you; “Isn’t that interesting” is a phrase that allows you to be the observer, giving you time to see the bigger picture; A powerful phrase of action, “I choose”; You are a Spiritual Being having a human experience in a physical body; Everything is a frequency of vibration; You are always in the right place at the right time; Key to life is to Love your self into fully living; Follow your feelings to find your beliefs; The past does not determine the present or the future; Healing is only a shift in consciousness; The Higher Self magnetizes the perfect events and people into the moment to give you the best chance to fulfill your intentions and return to your True Self; how does it get better than this?!. And, above all choose to refrain from using disempowering words like can’t, should, never, always, and try.


An affirmation is a life affirming statement projected consciously into the cosmos to call upon the laws to make manifest your desire. It is spoken in the first person with emotion and conviction as if it is already so. Repetition is a foundational key to the unfolding as you are replacing an existing form with a new one, releasing misinformation, thought patterns, and beliefs in the process. The previous condition was established through repeated thought, belief, and action…so letting it go requires the replacement of the new personal paradigm in the subconscious mind. Creating a calm state with brainwave tracks underneath the repetition of the affirmations increases the level of receptivity. Following up the affirmation with a choice to pay attention to the nuances of the forms of your moments establishes an anticipatory energy that magnetically attracts that which you are affirming.


Some examples are: I Am an energy being in vibration; I Am constantly changing energetically and more; I Am Multi-dimensional; I Am a Divine Design transcending lifetimes; I Am Interconnected with all life forms in Oneness; I Am an energetic design programmed for health; I Am In a sizable community of support in the seen and the unseen world; I Am a Divine Template always present; I Am designed for balance to respond to life rather than react to it; I Am capable of choosing in this moment to create my reality in the next; I Am guided by a Higher Self that is the medium between Spirit and the physical, only interested in assisting me in remembering my True Design; I Am made up of the foundational frequency of Love


A proclamation is a clear and conscious statement of power expressing a desired condition to make manifest. It invokes celestial support and transcends all time, space, and dimensions. It is claimed in the now and usually ends with a finalizing statement that invites the higher forms to reveal themselves in the nuances of the now moments that follow; and so it is; all this or something more magnificent; and so mote it be. Books that have been instrumental in my work with proclamations are Proclamations of the Soul, and The Veils of Illusion, by Rich Work; and The Ascended Master’s Handbook, by Za Kai ram. Here are some examples:  

From the Divine Love that flows within my Being, I am prepared and I accept the full  integration of my Divinity throughout my Being. I acknowledge and honor all parts of my Being that have supported my journey in my physical experience, and I transmute those thought forms which no longer serve me into Unconditional Love. I transmute all energies that would interfere with my ability to declare my freedom and proclaim my Divinity, into the divine expression of Creative Love, and activate the Golden Light of Transformation  throughout the totality of all that I am. And so it is.
                                  -The Veils of Illusion, by Rich Work

 I choose to transmute the illusion that interferes with my ability to see my Divine Perfection. I command that all records and memories— created to manipulate and distort my ability to recognize and experience the totality of my Divine Creation— be erased from Universal Consciousness. I command that the illusion be replaced with universal knowledge that will allow me to know, see, feel, and experience the feminine and masculine aspects of the Divinity Within. And so it is.
                                   The Veils of Illusion, by Rich Work

I command that all thought forms, energies, illusions, devices, or other forms that have been created with or without my permission, that would interfere, distort, or otherwise compromise communication between any part of my Being on all levels of consciousness, be transmuted into Unconditional Love and used only in the divine expression of Creative Love. I proclaim my Divine Perfection. I claim my freedom to communicate with all levels of my Being and with all of Creation. And so it is.

Proclamations of the Soul, by Rich Work


 On all levels, in all dimensions, and in all my energy bodies, I now release the energetic residue of all past thoughts, illusions, and beliefs that have inhibited me from seeing my true worth. I lift and release all veils over the truth of this dimension to reveal to me the beauty and love in all of life. I see and experience only through the eyes and heart of Love. And so it is.

I Am a divine spiritual being living in a remarkable human physical body vehicle with complete access to the fluid world of emotion and a magnificent mind that easily makes manifest my every thought and focus. With a host of unseen etheric support as well as a personal Source Connection in the Higher Self I Am pioneering the conscious movement into fourth and fifth dimensional living. Connected with all of life in design and intent I Am being redirected towards living fully in the moment to become a willing and full expression of Compassion, Gratitude, and Grace.

I Am designed for perfect health, unwavering abundance, with a host of dimensional tools and powers to live in oneness with all of life. I Am destined to fully wake up in my own time in accordance with my free will choices to consciously live in my aligned vibration as a unique frequency in a world that is completely of my own design. I Am unlimited, unequivocally loved and cherished, filled with incessant wonder and imagination, fully capable of complete self care and unconditional love through my self cleansing and self repairing energetic bodies. And so it is !
