The Hidden Messages in Water: Speaking Love into Your Life - for Wellness and Design

A unique perspective on the power of words, thoughts, sounds, and intentions

Dr. Emoto's experiments lead him to believe that human consciousness could affect water's molecular structure.

Can words really shape us at a cellular level?

It might sound incredible, the intriguing work of water researcher, Dr. Masaru Emoto shows that it’s not only possible – it’s happening every day.

Dr. Emoto’s groundbreaking work on water crystals fundamentally changed how we understand the impact of our thoughts, words, and intentions on the physical world.

His research, featured in his 2004 New York Times Bestseller, The Hidden Messages in Water, unveiled the truly profound power of how our words and thoughts influence the molecular structure of water.

Pioneering Research

His findings involved exposing water to various external influences, such as words, thoughts, and music, and then freezing the water to observe the formation of ice crystals under a microscope, captured through Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology and high-speed photographs. 

The results were nothing short of breathtaking.

The photographs reveal how water exposed to loving, benevolent, and compassionate human intention results in aesthetically pleasing physical molecular formations in the water, while water exposed to fearful and discordant human intentions results in disconnected, irregular, and “unpleasant” physical molecular formations. 

Dr. Emoto water crystal photographs with various external influences on molecular structure.

One of the most interesting experiments was when a group of monks were given polluted water and then the same water was exposed to their prayers and chants. The before and after pictures of these water molecules was strikingly different, with pictures of the molecules exposed to prayers showing a distinct, beautiful, symmetrical shape, demonstrating the power of prayer and intention to help restore and heal the environment and ourselves.

It is a visual confirmation of the power of intention. And, as a wellness coach and designer, this concept is something I carry into my work every day —

Let’s explore how we can interpret these findings in our everyday life.

Mind, Body, Soul

Given that our bodies are made up of around 70% water, it’s no surprise that water plays such a significant role in our health and well-being.

More than half of the water in our body is inside our cells, and the rest circulates in our blood, bathing our cells and tissues. This is a compelling reminder to not only choose clean, healthy water to hydrate our bodies with, but also you can imagine how every word you speak, every thought you think, can be shaping you on a molecular level.

So make it a practice to be mindful of what you allow into your mind every day; staying focused on positive thoughts and feelings as much as possible.

Environment

As Emoto’s work encourages us to consider the visual and energetic aspects of water, this can be extended to suggest that not only do our intentions impact the water in our bodies, but the water around us also has an influence on our well-being. Studies have shown that access to clean, fresh water improves cognitive function, reduces stress, and even enhances mood.

Water’s connection to energy is also evident in the healing properties of natural water bodies, such as hot springs or the soothing sound of waves. These sources of water have been used for centuries for their therapeutic benefits, suggesting that the intention behind being near these natural resources is just as important as the physical water itself.

Similarly, a thoughtfully designed environment with pleasing aesthetics, careful arrangement of furnishings, plants, and visually appealing elements creates a sense of tranquillity and harmony. We utilize these principles in designing our wellness programs and cultivating personalized supportive environments, infusing an aesthetic appeal that offers a unique energy and sense of serenity in your space. Imagine, the gentle sound of water, the play of light in the space, and the luxurious sense of peace and relaxation.

Conclusion

One of the beautiful things about science is how it expands our perception of reality and makes us observe what is true within our soul. Dr. Emoto’s message is a powerful reminder that we are co-creators of our reality.

He gave us the stunning visual proof that the energy we put out into the world – through our words, thoughts, and intentions – has a direct impact on our lives and our bodies. While some skeptics argue about the reproducibility of his results, Emoto’s work undeniably brought attention to the idea that human consciousness and intention can affect physical matter.

His studies leave us with the intriguing thought - can we further influence and enhance the outcome with our intentions knowing the interdependence, inter-play in an inter-connected universe?

It is our personal belief and experience that you absolutely can. So, we encourage you to make it a part of your daily practice to choose to speak love into yourself, gratitude into your food, and kindness into the world.
