Those venomous words!

Humans can spit venomous words that are more poisonous than what snakes spew out.




Yes, God has given us this power. We need to think about the deep injuries this inflicts on another’s heart. It not only inflicts pain at the time these words are heard, but the same amount and intensity of pain will be felt whenever those words are remembered, even decades later.


Differences between a snake bite and word bite


When a snake bites, there is only one line of action. Antidote has to be administered as soon as possible to remain alive.

When venomous words are directed at you, there can be two approaches. I am reminded of an incidence when my kids were young. One day they came and told that their friend called them monkeys and they were very sad.

I asked them, ‘Do you think you are monkeys?’

‘No.’

‘Then what is there to be sad?’ Their faces brightened up.

I had not finished yet, ‘And if you behave like monkeys, see how you can improve yourselves. So she has given you an opportunity to be a better person and be thankful. Then here also there is no need to be sad, right?’

‘Yes’, they smiled and ran off to play.

When we hear caustic words, we can let them seep into our hearts and tear our soul.



Or we can choose to ignore them and maintain our sanity and peace in the heart. It sounds difficult, but not impossible. Reiki can help us in this, which I will describe a little later.

Generating karma


When a snake bites somebody, it is their inherent nature. Usually they bite only when disturbed. It is their natural behaviour.

When a human utters caustic words, instantly karma is created, which has to be paid back, may be immediately, after a week, after a year or after a life time. When one gets affected by the words, he/she will be participating in the pay back, along with the person who has shouted. Why should one take up the shouting person’s karma like this? It is better to leave him/ her only to pay for it.

Reiki comes to help


When you are forced to listen to angry words from somebody, imagine a mirror between you and the person shouting. The mirror should be facing the abusive person. Its reflective surface then reflects the power of those words back.

Invoke Reiki and request Reiki to send white light and interpose it between the back of the mirror and you. If any words are not reflected back but scattered, they will be absorbed by the white light. Thus you are totally protected.

Compassion and love


When you are being abused, try to understand that person. If you can read aura, you will notice brownish black gooey auric threads emanating from him/her. If you can’t read aura, just look at the face carefully and you will be surprised at what you see.  

A snake spews venom because that is what it has. A person talks hurtful words because their heart is filled with negative emotions like hatred, anger, jealousy, helplessness or depression. If you retort in this situation, you are further feeding it.

What that person needs is compassion and love. But it looks humanly impossible to project love to a person who is abusing you. As you spiritually progress, this becomes achievable. Till then, you can request Reiki to flood that person with love. Requesting alone will do wonders, but if you can imagine healing light coming from above, surrounding and penetrating that person, it is better.


Don’t forget you too need that healing light of love, to come out of the draining emotions those words caused inside. So request Reiki to flood you too with the healing light, imagining the light if possible. 

For the abusive person


If you are in the habit of making acid remarks, stop for a moment and think. The snake is programmed to bite, it doesn’t have a choice. But as humans, we do have a choice. Through words and deeds, we can transcend ourselves to divinity, or we can turn into devils.

If one wants to improve, first step is to accept the fact that what is being done is wrong. Then before the conversation, invoke Reiki and request it to flood your throat chakra with blue light. Imagine this blue light expanding, and forming a blue net that spreads in front of your face.

This will help in choosing kind words and it also softens any aggressive words that you use, before it reaches the person in front. 

Let us strive to utter words that are music to the person listening.
