The effect of words

I learned about a man in Japan that has been studying the effect of words on water. His name is Masaru Emoto.

First he took pictures of water crystals the way it regularly is.

This is a water crystal from Sanbu-ichi Yusui Spring water.

Antarctic Ice

Water from the Yodo River in Japan. This water flows past large cities in Kasai.

Water from Biwako Lake, which is in the center of Japan. It has pollution problems.

Water from the Shimanto River, also in Japan. It is referred to as the last clean stream.


Then he took pictures of crystals after music was played to the water, to see if there was an effect.

Here is a water crystal that had Beethoven's Pastoral played to it.


Here is one that had a folk dance played to it.


This one had Heavy Metal music played to it.


Then I read in the same article that he taped different words to the outside of vials of water and took pictures of those water crystals. The results were amazing.

I decided that I wanted to see for myself if it really happended or if it was just a load of craziness. So, I took some of our tap water, which is really chlorinated and nasty, and put it in a large 2 gallon water container that we have for our fridge.

Then I taped two words on it...Love was on one paper, and gratitude was on the other paper. I also got a regular glass of tap water and put it in the fridge too. 24 hours later I tasted them. The one that had love and gratitude on it, tasted like fresh water that I would expect from a really nice bottled water variety. It was amazing. I made my husband taste it too, just to make sure I wasn't going nutty, and he thought the same thing.

So, try it! I want to know if other people get the same results that I do.

When you look at the article there are a bunch of ads, and then a really big ad, but if you keep scrolling there is a really neat interview with Masaru Emoto toward the bottom.
