“Darn! Good thing that was water.” I had just kicked over my glass during a company meeting.
As I spilled my newly refilled water glass on my way back to my desk I thought, “What’s up with me and water today?”
I had recently been listening to, “The Divine Matrix,” by Gregg Braden so I have been more conscious about what things around me may be saying. Now I have been presented with two episodes of me spilling water and I began to wonder what it all might mean to me, but came up dry (pun intended!).
That afternoon, I was looking up a blog post by Mary Morrissey and the word “water” caught my eye. The post turned out to be about the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto. He has taken water, put positive and negative words and thoughts on the water, and has photographed the crystalline structure after the water was frozen. The positive words created beautiful, snowflake like structures and the negative words caused ugly, indistinct patterns. It is very interesting work and points out the power of our words, thoughts, and prayers. But, I still wasn’t sure what this water stuff was trying to tell me.
“Am I supposed to do something with using Dr. Emoto’s work, and if so, what would that be?” I asked myself as I pondered these connections.
The final connection on this very interesting watery path I found myself upon, was seeing a clip about Dr. Emoto’s work while Anamarie and I were watching the movie, “What the Bleep.”
So, what does all of this mean? I’m not exactly sure, but here’s what I’m thinking. Gregg Braden got me paying attention to what events around me may be telling me. The water spilling got me wondering what I was supposed to understand from those events. Then I was drawn to Dr. Emoto’s work… twice!
Anamarie and I have been working to get our kids to talk nicer to each other, so I had the thought that maybe we need to talk to our kids about Dr. Emoto’s work and the power of their words and thoughts.
“What about putting up Dr. Emoto’s pictures of the water crystals on the refrigerator so that our kids can see them?” Anamarie asked me as we discussed this water stuff that was happening to me.
I agreed that this was a great idea as it would give us plenty of opportunities to talk about things our kids say and we could point them to the pictures to make our point when they said something negative or positive.
Is this ultimately what these water messages have been trying to tell me? I have no idea. But, whether it is or not, I think our idea will be good for our family. So in that respect, I am thankful for the water message, whatever it was meant to tell me.
If our words and thoughts can affect the crystalline structure of water, just think what they can do to the people around us.
Blessings.
