Water and the Power of Positive Thinking

Wayne Rivers

Dr. Masamu Emoto, a Japanese scientist, found that our “thoughts, feelings, ideas, and music can affect the molecular structure of water.” In a famous experiment, he placed distilled water into small jars and labeled them with positive and negative words and phrases. When flash frozen, the water that had been positively labeled (with words like beauty, passion, happiness) showed beautiful and symmetrical shapes like snowflakes. The negatively labeled water (words like evil, hatred, and disgust) showed up as discolored, fragmented, and chaotic. Dr. Emoto claimed that energies and vibrations can change the very physical structure of water.

Please tune in this week as Wayne relates this remarkable, possibly even factual, story. Whether authentic or not, there is a valuable lesson to be learned here about positive versus negative thoughts and feelings. What’s your opinion? Is this the craziest thing you’ve ever heard, or might there be some actual basis in Dr. Emoto’s work? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments.
