"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world."
~ Jack LaytonNot only do we feel better
when we choose love instead of anger, etc., but we change the world?
One way to see some evidence of this is to consider the water crystal experiments done by Dr. Emoto in Japan. If you saw the film What the Bleep Do We Know, you are familiar with Dr. Emoto's work.
If you didn't see the film, you still may have heard about the studies that show water crystals being affected by the thoughts, feelings, and intentions of people directing their energy toward
and into water.
Water "treated" with love formed beautiful crystal patterns. Water "treated" with hate and fear formed crystals without beautiful snowflake-like patterns and without a balanced design.
Coincidentally, yesterday, without knowing I had selected the above quote for today's reflection, my husband sent me a link* to a double-blind study that tested Dr. Emoto's claims.**
While the results of this study did not show as strong an effect as in
Dr. Emoto's claims, there was a definite increase of what people described as "beauty" in the water crystals "treated" with positive intentions. If water crystals are affected, even just a little, by our thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and intentions, what does this suggest to you?
It seems to me that, while we don't yet know how and to what extent our consciousness affects the world, why not choose to be loving, hopeful, and kind?
For health and joy, with faith,
Charlene
