Mayan Wisdom

The Power of Words

Speaking with intention because words carry creative power.

Words are not empty sounds but carriers of power. The world was created through divine speech. Curses can harm; blessings can heal. Speaking carelessly wastes power; speaking with intention focuses it. The wise measure their words carefully.

The world was spoken into being; your words too create what follows.
