A few months ago I saw this video, and a few others by Dr. Masaru Emoto about the impact of our thoughts and intentions on water. The video completely blew my mind. Thoughts of certain words and the feelings associated with those words physically changed the structure of the water. Words like “love” and “generosity” created beautiful crystalline designs. Words like “hate” created poisonous-looking blobs.
I started thinking about the water we drink. The water we bath in. And then I started to consider that our bodies are 70% water. Which means that these words, these thoughts, these intentions have the power to change the physical composition of our bodies.
(This is where I sit in stunned silence for a moment.)
Watch this video and imagine each of these words as part of the makeup of your body. Which would you choose? Which would you intend to create in those around you?
What reminded me of this today was proof that our thoughts and intentions do affect us physically, as do the things around us. It came in the form of the following article: Looking at Tears Under a Microscope. I highly encourage you to check it out.
My closing thought would be this: think of how joyful, how curious, how loving and innocent our children are. Imagine how beautiful the impact they can have on those around them, if we are willing to receive. And, as a parent, I know the image of filling my sweet little girl with the poisonous water will come to my mind every time I think about responding with anger or teaching her hate. Open-ended parenting is as much about taking responsibility for the impact we do have as it is about letting go of the impact we don’t need to control.
