Because the conventional English language we speak
supports our domination culture.
Because Conventional English allows us
to make our opinions into facts
and so creates unnecessary conflict.
Because our language distances us from life energy
and so from our emotions and our deep self.
I change the English language
for all those reasons.
Yet I felt called to create Language of Joy
because when I changed my language
I found an inner peace I never knew before.
I desire that for YOU.
My Story and Intention
My exploration of language started when I realized that the phrase “I’m sorry.”
caused me to bow my head, lower my shoulders and filled me with guilt / shame.
I found myself unwilling to let this phrase put me into
these emotional states, so I decided to say “Excuse me.” instead.
Then as I entered a room late, I repeated to myself “Say excuse me”.
Then I couldn’t stop “I’m sorry.” from coming out automatically.
I felt frustrated and confused by this automatic negative emotional pattern.
(see How Automatic Patterns Form below)
Since I couldn’t stop saying “I’m sorry, I decided to say my substitute
phrase, “Excuse me.”after the “I’m sorry.” So if I bumped into someone,
I’d say “I’m sorry. Excuse me.” They didn’t seem to notice, yet for me this drastically changed my emotional reaction. My body felt open and calm, my emotional reaction changed to one of delight and gratitude, relieved and pleased,
I did this for about 6 months until the “Excuse me” came automatically
and about a year until the “I’m sorry.” fell away completely.
I also noticed that I rarely felt the feelings of shame/guilt anymore.
In LoJ we explore how words affect each of us emotionally.
Each of us will react in our own unique way from
our individual DNA to our childhood experiences.
I learned to explore my feelings, to discover the needs
that called for my kind attention.
Tending to my needs brought contentment, ease and peace.
As you explore LoJ, I encourage you to pay attention to
how the different concepts, words or phrases affect you.
