What’s In A Name (Word Power)

While researching vibrations I thought bout ancient languages the old knowledge and how words and names of things in many ways were chosen by the way the sound related to the object or context of what it was designated to describe. I thought about the fact that my name Daoud is Arabic also connected to hebrew both are ancient languages that have strong conection to sound. I began to think about the meaning of my name ”beloved of god,” that all my life young childern have always been infatuated with saying my name, my neice turned it into a song when she was 1 and only had a basic vocabulary I would hear her in the house singing DAAAAH-OOOOO-DH.With this in mind while sitting home alone I used my name as a meditative sound, chanted it like ohm, DAAAAH-OOOOO-DH, the affect amazed me. It made my body tingle like when something inspiring happens, the feeling we get when listening to spiritual music or prayer.

Sound & the way it affects life, is a crucial understanding, our names and the words we identify our selves with cast spells on us and the people who speak them, they shape our experience. I have always understood the blessing in the name i was given, it’s been my mantra, when in doubt I always had a definition of my place in the universe. This was the intention behind names and the giving of names in indigeinous and ancient cultures. The name was the gift to the child, it helped guide them and identify their energy, also as a right of passage into adult hood one would be renamed or chose a name based on the person they proved to be.

If your name doesn’t inspire you in this way, if it doesnt connect with your heart, choose one, find a name to call yourself in public or in secret, you will find that as you begin to indetify with this name you will inspire great change with in self and likely in the way others relate to you.
