In his book,The Hidden Messages in Water, Dr. Masaro Emoto demonstrated that water takes on the quality of the energy that surrounds it. He demonstrated this by playing different types of music, taping words to glasses of water and analyzing water from different rivers around the world, some more polluted than others. In each case, he studied the crystals formed by the water when it froze.
To summarize his amazing findings, the crystals that formed under the influence of beautiful music such as classical, beautiful words such as love, and clean rivers were all beautiful and perfect. Those formed under the influence of discordant music such as heavy metal, hateful words such as Hitler and polluted water were broken and misshapen.
Other than being absolutely fascinating in and of itself, one might be left with the uninspired conclusion of, “So what?”
That is until you remember one important fact about the human body.
About 60% of our body weight is water. In babies it is closer to 75%. Even more intriguing is the fact that your brain and heart are 75% water. Your blood is 83% water. Given that, you must ask yourself this one important question —
“What energy is influencing your body?”
Is the energy beautiful energy that will form perfect crystals, or is it more destructive, hateful energy that will form distress and discordance in your body and life.
To take this one step further and understand the true importance of Dr. Emoto’s findings, there is something much more powerful than the external forces and energy that influence our body. That something are the internal forces and energy – our thoughts and beliefs.
These internal forces are far more powerful and potentially destructive than any external ones, for they are the non-stop messages we tell ourselves. Hopefully those messages are empowering ones, but all too often they are not. Too often they are the echos of “I’m not good enough,” “I’m too fat,” “I can’t . . .” “I’ll never . . .” “It’s impossible . . .” “Why bother . . .” Etc.
This line of thinking creates more discordance, distress and harm in our lives than any external force ever could. As such, it is important to become aware of our thoughts and be mindful of the energy we are sending to the rest of our body. As the saying goes, “Your thoughts become your reality.”
Given that, one of the most important practices you can engage in is ensuring your thoughts and beliefs are empowering ones that contribute to your life and well-being
If you are what you eat, you are also what you see and hear.

To think that we are not influenced by everything that goes on around us would be incredibly naive. The news we watch, the music we listen to, the food we eat, the friends we keep, the customers we do business with, the thoughts we think ALL influence us and have a tremendous impact on our lives.
There are two simple actions you can take to ensure this bombardment is positive –
1. Become aware of what influences you.
2. Choose what you wish to let in to your life.
