When we watched “What The Bleep” for the first, okay, 100 times, we were most taken by the Japanese scientist (or author?) Masaru Emoto who claims that positive and/or negative words or thoughts affected water and is said to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. We were intrigued, to say the least, and purchased the dvd The Hidden Messages in Water so that we could learn more. We then decided to write positive words on all of our water bottles to see if it worked. Now, I’m no scientist (as G. Bush would say) and we didn’t test the theory out to the fullest but, we I continue to write positive words on our bottles weekly. If it does nothing else but force everyone to think about something positive when they pick up a water bottle (and every time they take a sip), then that is enough for me.
Today, on dailymantra.com I watched the video below which claims that the positive words or good intentions could benefit chocolate in the same way. They had advanced meditators infuse the chocolate with good intentions and in a double-blind study, there was a 67% increase in mood of the people who ate it over regular chocolate. Watch the short video below for all the details.
note* In an effort to “go green” we are trying to use less water bottles and have purchased SIGG aluminum canteens in addition…but it’s hard when a pre-made, delicious water bottle with a positive affirmation is sitting right there, ready to pick up and drink!
