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.
