Moody Waters

I've become fascinated lately with a phenomenon called "Hado." It's a word coined by a Japanese scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto that means "wave" and "move." The principle of Hado is relatively simple but the implications of it are mind-blowing.

What Dr. Emoto did was to take partially-frozen water samples which he intended to view and photograph in crystal form at the molecular level. To begin with, he photographed the water in its inert state. He then exposed the water to various stimuli; first spoken words. He photographed the water crystals before and after they were exposed to spoken words. The results were astounding.

Water crystals that had been exposed to positive words like "love", "peace", and "understanding" formed beautifully smooth, symmetric crystals. However, the same samples, when exposed to words like "hate", "war" and "kill" took on bizzare shapes, rigid, sharp and asymmetric. Beyond not being symmetrical, they were chaotic.

Dr. Emoto was so amazed by this that he began to expose his water samples to other forms of stimuli, including music, prayer and the sound of a group of Buddhist monks chanting. He found similar results: the water changed form at the molecular level to match the vibration of the intention of the speaker, singer or prayer.

Of course, Dr. Emoto has a lot of critics and I dare say that one of the major issues with his research is a lack of following the scientific method. If anything, Dr. Emoto was more interested in investigating the beautiful images than digging down into the exact science behind it. But in spite of all of that, his work HAS to bring to the surface the question HOW????

As I've noted before, it is that world of the unseen that we so easily dismiss, which unduly affects everything we do more than we could ever realize. For example, taking Dr. Emoto's work personally, what if he is correct?

Think about it: your body is approximately 60% water.

Words that have that effect on water....
Words spoken toward your body, processed not just by your brain, but by your very molecules, which seem to have a consciousness of their own, have an overwhelming impact. How much more careful would you be about what you say, do and think if you knew for sure this were the case? How much more careful would you be about the thoughts you internalize about yourself? How do we break ourselves and others down everyday merely by thinking negatively? What about the negative words that sometimes pour out of us?

When you ponder the implications of this, it blows the mind wide open. It could change the way you view EVERYTHING.

At least, that's my hope....
