Is anyone here aware of Dr. Emoto's studies into the effects of thought upon water?
Sounds weird, but water changes, if subjected to music or specific intent.

Freeze it and then isolate the resulting crystals.



This works in reverse as well. Hateful music and thought cause as extreme a reversal. As stated in the otherwise useless (IMO) film "What the bleep do we know", we are mostly made of water.

This is empiric. I'm surprised that western science hasn't latched onto it.

And I can see few better scientific reasons to avoid negativity. Obviously, choosing to be happy does have an effect upon us.

1. Yes, we have discussed this here in the past.
It's amazing to see!

Here's a prior thread about this issue, and there have been others, if I recall correctly:

Thanks for bringing it here though, Peake. It's such an interesting phenomenon. Hopefully, someday Western scientists will decide to "legitimize" this aspect of our reality. (It's sad that this is required.)

(Welcome to the AS&AH group!)

4. Thank you for the welcome and the link!
I'll check it out.

I've also posted this in the Lounge, and have learned that there is a wikipedia entry on Emoto:

I've seen people determine that they were going to be happy, and it has happened. This is likely not news to forum members :)

2. He has a lot of products
I think he needs to add printed sheets, so we can sleep on "Lourdes water" for example.

This isn't exactly repeatable scientifically, because the pictures look different each time, even if from the same batch of water.

I guess what you could do is make about ten different pictures with "Hate and Discord" on it, vs. ten different pictures of "Love and Prayer". Then, in a double blind study, have people rate which are the prettiest ten pictures........ then do a statistical study.

That's about the only way I would know how to study this scientifically. Don't count on it, though.

3. Thanks, I didn't know about the variances. Are they as extreme as his published results?
Definitely, I would like for these things to be confirmed, and any variances measured, by others, but the aspect of energy following thought (Jung) is very interesting!

5. Sure is
They sell cards of the photos and you can "charge" water with them. Then drink it! Loads of fun, these things.

Just a few scientists interested in stuff like this at this point. It's more important for them not to be ridiculed by their peers than to look at "unusual" things like this.

6. Here is something new in conjunction with EFT
This article is a very recent one.

Maybe I will try it on my mother, she is struggling on all fronts and I think she is regressing... :(

7. Interesting. That would make sense...
And I wonder if carrying a pocket-sized version of the Constitution has had any effect upon Dennis Kucinich :)

I'm going to remove any negative words from anything that I carry with me, and avoid negative images and words upon clothing. Thanks, and I hope that you mother heals effortlessly and quickly!

10. I truly believe that
as I think we have to be careful to state "what is". We would be stuck in that state without improvement, so that "what is now", can be made into "what was", isn't it?! Amazing....

has quite a few videos of water exposed to positive vs. negative.

I know that when the impact of this fully hit me, I changed the way I talk and think. I give my kitty lots of loving words too, so his body water will be pretty. I like to do it with people I'm around too. What a harmless way to help strengthen their minds and bodies.

I'm still buying bottled spring water, but when I do, I always think about this, and wonder if I really believe it, why don't I charge tap water. I'm going to have to try it eventually.

edit: :hi: .. welcome to ASAH. This group is one of a kind. It is a daily wealth of information.
We are real people walking our paths in Enlightenment, whatever form the path takes for each individual.
Sweet.

13. Yes, of course. I got to hear him speak in Santa Cruz.
:thumbsup:
It seems pretty obvious to me, regardless of the science proving it or not.
I have these cool-o see-thru plastic labels I got at a local new age store in town with different attributes on them, like "Love", "Peace", etc...I chose to put "Empowerment" on the nalgene bottle of water I carry around everywhere. :D It's pretty much on there permanently now.

Hey, every little bit helps! :hi: Peake!
