Sound

In the beginning was the word, and the Word was God.         Gospel of St. John

What makes words powerful? Is it the meaning, the vibration of the sound wave, or the power of the speaker? The words of saints and sages may come inspirationally from God. But from a prophet or a poet, when a word comes through a burning heart, it carries that flame into the hearts of those who listen.

You will record yourself reciting the your verse. By reciting the words with emphasis and emotion you will give meaning to the verse. You can also record or download a voice reciting the verse in its original language (Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Sanskrit, or Chinese).

You can also find some music which represents your verse. The music should be in the mood of your verse. Is your verse joyful? Sad? Peaceful? The music should also be thematically connected with your verse. If your verse is from the Diamond Sutra your music should be Buddhist music (perhaps chanting). If your verse is from the Quran you might try Middle Eastern music. And so forth...
