As our words weave back and forth, a tapestry of shared meanings takes form between us. This is the process of communication; the lifeblood of human interaction, if you catch my drift\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is very important that the words we use when we speak carry the exact meaning that we intend to communicate. Otherwise, they will alchemise in the minds of the people who hear them in altogether unintended ways. Thick and fast, the kind of tapestry you create can start to spin off your loom and out of your control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Understanding where misunderstandings originate\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder, and the vastly different landscapes of our individual inner worlds are one of the many spectacular aspects of humanity. So, it\u2019s no wonder that the sentiments of the phrases we say can sometimes get lost in translation, with your hastily delivered compliment becoming something else altogether in the ears of the behearer. (That old adage, \u201csticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me,\u201d was clearly thought up by somebody who\u2019d never tried Beeja meditation!)\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The reluctance we all feel, at times, to be held to our words is simultaneously a testament to the capacity they have to demarcate the reality we inhabit. Whenever anybody insists, mid-argument, that the exact words used in a previous conversation shouldn\u2019t matter, it\u2019s categorically time for a breather.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Your meditation practice may be outwardly silent, but, over time, it can work wonders in terms of helping you harness the power of language, and the results will speak for themselves. You can say hello to a whole new way of engaging with the world, when your words begin having their intended effects.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Getting to know your mantra <\/strong>\u2014<strong> more than just a word<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In Beeja meditation, which is based on the oldest form of meditation in the world, your personal mantra is selected for you by our guides, with reference to your unique personality characteristics, as well as metrics such as your age and date of birth. Your meditation practice itself is simple: you simply repeat the mantra silently to yourself for a twenty-minute period, twice a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While you never actually need to say your mantra aloud \u2014 and, in fact, are advised against sharing it with others, which makes it your secret talisman \u2014 your regular repetitions of it will catalyse new avenues of your personal growth, many of which will improve the way you communicate. From deepening your reserves of compassion, to improving your ability to read people, to sharpening your imagination, you\u2019ll be inwardly thanking your mantra throughout the day, each time your words seem to spur on your continued progress through great days towards even better tomorrows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Realigning your reality tunnel\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Popularised by the author Robert Anton Wilson, the term \u201creality tunnel\u201d is a way of conceptualising our engagement with the world around us. It is the funnel through which we process our surroundings and the concepts they contain. The word \u201creality\u201d is somewhat misleading here, as this way of conceptualising perception makes some admission that our reality is formed of our subjective perceptions, and that these are uniquely our own and may not translate totalistically into the world around us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>When we communicate with one another effectively, however, we can point our reality tunnels in the same direction as one another and agree on shared modalities of meaning-making. This is what true communication is; <a href=\"\\&quot;https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/benefits-of-meditation\/connectivity\/\\&quot;\">connectivity<\/a>. We\u2019re inherently separated by our unique standpoints. Make no mistake, however \u2014 looking through someone else\u2019s reality tunnel isn\u2019t as easy as borrowing their periscope \u2014 it\u2019s exactly as impossible as physically morphing into them. This is precisely why words are so important; the right language, used in the right way, can facilitate a genuinely shared experience of reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Keying into connotations\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As you begin choosing your words with greater care, you\u2019ll find yourself tuning, <a href=\"\\&quot;https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/benefits-of-meditation\/intuition\/\\&quot;\">intuitively<\/a>, even more closely into the nuances at play in your interpersonal relationships. That space between us? It may be called a channel of communication, but traversing it doesn\u2019t always have to feel like you\u2019re washed up on the shores of this figure of speech, calling across the English channel while the cries of the gulls drown out your words.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Mindful dialogue is all about awareness of the connotations and slippages of meaning around words, and it is also as much about what you say as what you don\u2019t say. Meditating with a mantra can eventually result in developing a heightened ability to understand what\u2019s going on in the space between the words you use and the effects they might have on others.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As a result, you\u2019ll become increasingly likely to achieve the effects you <em>want <\/em>with the ones you choose to say. The choices you make may surprise you. Depending who you\u2019re talking to, you may find yourself arranging the letters in ways you\u2019d never have contemplated initially, in order to get your message across, and having greater success than you could ever have imagined.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Recognising \u201cgarbage language\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We\u2019ve all been there.

We may not overtly define ourselves as seeking meaning \u2014 especially if the first whiff of spiritualism sends you running hills \u2014 but when you start using more conscious language, it\u2019s impossible not to feel glad you\u2019ve found it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong><em>Get in touch for a chat\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>If you would like to explore the ways that meditation could help you improve your communication, don\u2019t hesitate to <\/em><a href=\"\\&quot;https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/contact-us\/\\&quot;\"><em>get in touch<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\\\"align\\\":\\\"right\\\",\\\"fontSize\\\":\\\"small\\\"} -->\n<p class=\"\\&quot;has-small-font-size\\&quot;\" style=\"0text-align: right\\&quot;;\">Words: Rosalind Stone<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-219dd47\" data-id=\"219dd47\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-bb2a56e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bb2a56e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f62770d\" data-id=\"f62770d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8ea61c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a8ea61c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
