[A piece I wrote for Direct Self, a self-help magazine.]
What is a chant? It’s simply a repetition of powerful words used to gain a desired result. Prayers fall in that category as well. In short, words equal power.
Speak the following words aloud. Notice how they make you feel. Allow the power of the word to transform you. Simply speaking a word can stimulate an emotion and have a ripple effect in your life.

Speak the following words aloud. Notice how they make you feel. Allow the power of the word to transform you. Simply speaking a word can stimulate an emotion and have a ripple effect in your life.
Clarity – A crisp, clean word that means brilliance, splendor and clearness of thought, action and atmosphere.
Forever – Can any word capture time rolling forward eternally? Forever and ever tries.
Epiphany – A brilliant thought that hits you suddenly, as if by magic. A lightning bolt of an idea.
Exuberant – Pleasantly excited. Brimming over with stimulation and delight. Exuberance glows.
Luxurious – Think chocolate mouse or a hot bath. Luxurious is rich, warm, enveloping and inviting.
Fragile – Delicate, beautifully raw. Being fragile is not a bad thing but a sweet and vulnerable state where your true soul can be seen.
Mellifluous – Sweet-sounding ear candy that transports you to another place and time. Think of a Mozart symphony or the distant sounds of a waterfall.
Felicitous – This pretty word can mean a smart fit (“her nickname was particularly felicitous) or pleasing, blessed and fortunate.
Jejune – This word means dull and childish but if you want to tell an annoying person that they’re acting so jejune, it will make you feel really good.
Rhapsody – This intoxicating and magical word has several definitions but for our purposes, it means “rapturous delight or ecstasy.”
Redolent – An intoxicating scent, one that lifts you off your feet and carries you away. Think of a roast cooking in the oven or a freshly-baked apple pie.
Diaphanous – Gossamer-thin, fine and delicate. An angel’s wing is diaphanous.
Elixir – A powerful potion that can heal and transport you, a good one is rumored to prolong life indefinitely.
Cathartic – A profound purging from your system, complete repelling and expelling. A genuine catharsis can transform you permanently.
Dulcet – Sweet to the taste or pleasing to the ear, dulcet is honey-like and pleasing. The dulcet tones of a lover’s voice in your ear.
