You are fabulous and loved...

Have you heard of the Masaru Emoto's water experiments?

It's something Dr Maxine Stead discussed on one of our retreats and I've been thinking about it ever since.

In a nutshell, Masaru Emoto, a Japanese author and scientist, conducted a series of experiments in the late 2000s using distilled water in Petri dishes.

Each dish was labelled with either positive words and sentences or negative intentions and was exposed to different types of music. From soothing melodies to harsh, aggressive tracks.

The water was then frozen and its ice crystals photographed and studied.

According to Emoto, the water that had been exposed to words of encouragement and love formed beautifully shaped crystals, (see picture above), whilst the water exposed to negativity and abuse formed ugly and chaotic crystal patterns.

The conclusion was that words and emotions, positive or negative, could change the water's molecular structure, and, as humans are made up of up to 70% water, our words to ourselves and the emotions we experience affect us deeply.

You could say that Emoto's water experiments are complete pseudoscience but it's beautiful pseudoscience we can all relate to.

It's a great metaphor for the power of human consciousness and intention.

We know that words have power. One sentence can wound you for life. Another sentence can lift you up and keep you floating above the clouds.

Communication, verbal or written, affects relationships, environments and even health and that includes how you address yourself.

As a sound healer, I genuinely believe/ know that sounds and vibrations have an impact on the body, at a cellular level. So to me, it's also logical that words would impact us on an equally deep level.

So please, remember to tell yourself that you are fabulous and loved - ideally on a daily basis - because it matters more than you can imagine and it's an important part of self-healing 😊

With love...
