The Strength - Values Communication Connection

Dr. David Hawkins' Power vs. Force articulates in depth the relationship between our pysical strength and our values. His research confirms what Plato and Aristotle taught about the universal attraction to the values of beauty, love, truth, and justice. I just love it when current research confirms the truth of ancient wisdom - makes me feel even more connected to those sages.

Hawkins' research supports what we innately suspect to be true, that there are some emotions, feelings, actions, and reactions that raise our energy levels, and others that do the opposite. We touched on this briefly at the recent Presentation Wow Workshop. 

The following list of words is scientifically proven to raise your level of energy; they're straight from Power Vs. Force, by David Hawkins, MD, PhD. The simple act of reviewing this list before composing a presentation, or even an email, can help you communicate more effectively.

There you have plenty of words you can access to raise your own energy level. By doing so, you automatically  raise the level of energy of everyone who interacts with you. 

One of the famous lines from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is stated by Portia, when she claims that the virtue of mercy benefits both the merciful and the recipient of mercy. She compares the value of mercy to that of a gentle rain. Likewise, your positive communication benefits you, and those with whom you communicate.

Make Yourself a High Energy Acrostic

As you are probably well aware, there are some emotions, feelings, actions, and reactions that raise your energy level, and others that do the opposite. As it has been said before, your success in life is not the sum of everything that happens to you, but rather the sum of your reactions and interpretations of everything that happens to you.

There are countless events that you can't avoid (e.g. the current financial climate) but you certainly can choose your reaction and attitude toward it, and other things that happen, some of which you wish would not have come into your life.

Here's a fun and creative little exercise you can do to help train your mind to react with high energy, rather than giving in to a low-energy reaction. Make an encouraging acrostic!

If you don't know what an acrostic is, see the example below. It's something much easier to grasp by looking at, not by explaining. You can make one with your name, the name of a loved one, or any word on which you want to focus these days.

To help you raise your personal energy level, I've included a word bank of high-energy words below the Mixonian acrostic. These words are scientifically proven to raise your level of energy; they're from a list in Power Vs. Force, by David Hawkins, MD, PhD.

Merciful. Choosing the most compassionate interpretations of messages & events.

Inventive, on the lookout for new connections among people, things, and ideas.

eXcellent, but not perfect. Doing the best work possible with the resources at hand.

Optimistic people look for opportunities and choose not to make bad situations worse.

Noble, but not pompous.

Inspired to touch and encourage others.

Appreciative of my own qualities and yours.

Nurturing our potential.
