I created this blog as an outlet for some of the random thoughts that run helter skelter in my head...nothing more than that. It's my intention to amuse and entertain but in some cases share the magic of things around us...things we all tend to take for granted. I firmly believe that once you know more about the world around you, you can make the necessary changes, if any, to create peace from within. Once we attain that peace from within, we start oozing that peace and pretty soon, just like a yawn or laughter, it becomes contagious--in my mind anyway. Today's "journey" is about the hidden messages in water. What? Water? Really?
The answer is YES! A million years ago, I saw a movie called "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and there was one part of this movie that really caught my attention: every thought we have becomes a thing. A Japanese author named Masaru Emoto came forward with a radical concept: our vibrational energy not only affects everything around us but the water we drink! His experiments consisted of ordinary water glasses filled with ordinary water. The water was exposed to music, pictures and words. The water was then frozen and examined under a microscope. His findings were nothing less than amazing.
Water, in simple terms is the basis for all life. 70% of earth's surface is made of water. We humans need water to survive. I was never made more aware of how vital water is as when I learned that my chronic dehydration from drinking nothing other than soda, tea or coffee had not only robbed my body of a quality life but affected my kidneys in a pretty dramatic way. Living in the desert water becomes a precious commodity as we use it to wash our clothes, our dishes, our bodies, our cars. We water our trees and our lawns. Every thing we eat or use in some way starts with water.
I recently downloaded an app that is supposed to be the chants used for the medicine Buddha. The instructions were to take a glass of water and repeat the chants 108 times this making the water "blessed". The water is then consumed and the benefits of the water fill the body. I can tell you that my cold and sore throat symptoms were dramatically reduced. Is it because I drank blessed water? Is it because I believed I drank blessed water? Or is it because my own immune system did it's job? Who knows--either way I received some benefit from the water. Which brings me back to the point of this blog. Mr. Emoto concluded that water that is of highest quality produces beautifully intricate crystals, like the one above and that poor quality water produces yellow or brown ill formed crystals..............
When Water was exposed to messages such as "Thank you" or "Love and Appreciation".................
I Hate you and I will Kill you or You make Me Sick..................
It seems very clear, and at an urgent level, that we simply must start believing that our thoughts shape our today and tomorrow. Our energy and vibrations affects every living thing. We see this played out in our pets who scurry away when we've come home from a hard day at work. We see this played out in indigestion when we eat upset. To suggest that we give thanks, beyond the mundane dinner prayer, for the things we put in to our bodies is profound. It goes back to the concept that once we become thankful we open ourselves to more goodness....a pay it forward mindset, if you will. Too often, we walk through life asking "what do I get in return?" I have been guilty of this more times than I care to recall and in specific with my husband as we struggle to repair our fractured marriage. I am learning, as mentioned in my previous post, that when I see life's challenges not from the view point of what's in it for me but rather how can I help you in your journey, my own life gets easier. I've not yet mastered it and doubt that I ever will. School is always in session and life is a learn as you go.
Whether or not you believe Mr. Emoto's conclusion's or agree with his critics that is nothing more than a snake oil salesman, I leave you with this.....
What if he's right? The ancients knew to bless and be thankful for everything. In behaving this way they could only benefit from a better and more satisfying spiritual health. Regardless of what your spiritual beliefs are, there is something bigger than ourselves. The messages are everywhere and readily available to everyone. When get wrapped up in every day life we end up like the malformed ice crystals. When we stop, even for a second, and show a modicum of gratitude, we become the beautifully intricate crystals we were meant to be.
