A New Language
By: Avikal E. Costantino - Integral Being Institute - $15.95
Overview: Do you often find words limiting, unable to express what you truly feel or who you are? Do you find your language reinforcing old beliefs and conditioning?
A New Language is Avikal’s invitation to become more spontaneous, more deeply in contact with yourself and others, by discovering a language that reflects your uniqueness, your true potential, and a larger, more authentic sense of self.
Through profound insights, meditations, and simple practices, it opens the door towards greater freedom, joy, and presence in the way you express yourself.
Verdict: Whether we know it or now, and as I was myself brought up to recognize, when we rely on unconscious, reactive language, we accidentally trap ourselves in old loops, limiting beliefs, and past conditioning. The Trap of Absolute Labels (I am vs. I feel): Saying I am a failure or I am an anxious person glues a temporary emotional state to your core identity.
Furthermore, it turns a passing cloud into the whole sky, making growth feel impossible. The Weight of Obligation (Should, Have to, Must): Phrases like I should do this or I have to go there strip away your personal agency. This language of external demand makes you feel like a passive victim of your life rather than an active participant, breeding resentment.
Indeed, the Grip of Defensiveness (You always, It’s not my fault): In relationships, using global attacks like You always ignore me or immediate deflections prevents genuine connection. It locks both people into rigid roles (the attacker and the defender) where no one feels safe enough to change.
But a Path to Authenticity is now here and it is as easy as just shifting our language intentionally, for at that exact moment we break down the walls of old habits and create space for who we actually want to be.
Broken into three parts - Recognizing the Old to Open Up to the New, Tool to Discover and Reconnect With Your Uniqueness and Evolutionary Language - Avikal opens on the one big of the Universe: Who am I? And yet, can there be a simpler, more fundamental question?
He goes on to express that if we are reading this book that it is, at least sometimes, because we have felt the language we use is inadequate, not only to express what we feel and what we experience, but even more so our most intimate reality: Who we are.
To discover a new language, it is not necessary that you have a particular education, particular ideas and experiences, a particular religious or political culture, or that you have opinions or beliefs about language.
Sometimes all’s that need is for you to have been, even for a moment, truly in contact with yourself. For you have had ‘felt sense’ of yourself and not just thoughts about yourself.
In short, the bottom line, your words can either be a mirror of your past conditioning or a blueprint for your future self. When you change your vocabulary, you change your relationship with yourself and, ultimately, how you show up in the world.
Avikal dutifully shows us the way here in A New Language: Flowing in Being, a book I implore everyone (no matter who you are, where you are, or as perfect in life as you believe you are), to read at least once; for it will change your life, of that you have my word.
