For several decades it has been known and demonstrated that the qualities of water are such as to be responsive to external influences and vibrations including human thought and emotion.
Delawarr Laboratories in Oxford, England offered first practical demonstrations to show this in the processes of natural germination and growth of seeds and plant life. That was over fifty years ago.
Similar practical experiments such as the effect of positive and negative thoughts upon germination of seed and plant growth have been more recently replicated and extended by Dr Masaru Emoto of the IHM General Research Institute in conjunction with others demonstrating that subtle energies, including thought, can affect and even alter states of physical matter.
However it was the publication of a book in 1973 that opened our eyes to the need to further understand the relationship between humans and plant life. The authors of “The Secret Life of Plants” Tompkins and Bird showed the biological and symbiotic relationships and responses between people and plants leading us to a new awareness and a new sense of responsibility to the plant kingdom. The authors broke new ground in offered to readers an entirely new dimension to their understanding of the surprising sentient intelligence capacity of organic life in plants.
The concept of plants having intelligence is not new as observed in the fairy and elfin tales and folklore of most cultures of the world. These remind us of invisible life energy that directs and inhabits material form, as does the human soul the physical body. In previous times humans have been more sensitive and aware of the subtler invisible forces of nature to which the modern psyche is not generally responsive, being calloused by materialism and fascinated by the visual world.
Earlier recognition of the mystical side of the water element upon which life depends on our earth was evident and is still retained in much folklore throughout the world. There are depictions of water in the guise of cosmic space; as gods that bless us with rain; flowing in rivers and life fluids; angelic transmitters of healing energies that refresh and soothe our strained emotions; as beings that live a parallel existence in the watery depths of the ocean, or in rivers and lakes portrayed as the fairy spirits or undines.
To fully understand the element water we must learn to focus upon its values and qualities, upon our utter dependence upon it, and to permeate our investigations with the respect that is natural when exploring this great element that blesses our planet.
From pagan thought to modern scientific insight we seek to understand in order that we can best apply what wisdom we glean.
More recently Dr Emoto’s premise is that all life is vibrating at varying wave lengths and frequencies throughout the universe. This ‘hado’ or vibrating energy establishes fields of magnetic resonance generated by electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom. This he explains in detail in his books “Prelude to the Hado Era”, “Studies of the Human through Hado” and “Messages from Water”. It is the last work that is our present interest.
Dr Emoto in his demonstrations applied to water are astonishing. He has been able to capture the changes in the molecules of water by a unique photographic method that produces images of frozen water samples that form different and beautiful organized patterns and forms under positive harmonic influences of music compared with the dispersed or chaotic images in response to heavy discordant sounds. Some of the beautiful crystalline patterns are exquisite and somewhat similar to nature’s snowflake designs that offer both simple and intricate designs and basically hexagonal in structure.
Dr Emoto and his work has attracted criticism and there are many efforts by pseudo-scientists more focussed upon resistance to new information than enthusiastic to explore the validity of a simple principle that could be applied to open new avenues in understanding and employing the mysterious energies of nature for betterment of humans and well being of our planet. We await scientific evidence to confound or confirm its value in bridging the gap between physics and metaphysics.
Exploration into the subtle or invisible forces of nature has always met with resistance by those who do not care to be disturbed in the comfort of what they think they know as a truth. We choose to be disturbed or inspired by any ‘new’ development that is required to expand our knowledge. But it is difficult to understand why we should not all be open to any philosophy and method that teaches us a simple hint as to how to increase beauty, harmony and maintain emotional and physical health by knowledge of the vital element of nature that comprises about 70% of our physical body and perhaps 90% of our emotional nature.
As always with a new line of enquiry into nature or a new approach to a subject, there is resistance by established scientific body as well as by individual scientists.
But to many of us there is an intuitional reaction that welcomes Dr Emoto’s work that expands our comprehension, if only minutely, of the wonders of the natural elements around and within us and increases our appreciation of the beauties of water, in particular.
