Masuro Emoto believes that since people are 70 percent water, and the Earth is 70 percent water, we can heal our planet and ourselves by consciously expressing love and good will.
He says that to try out his theory you can try this experiment: Place cooked rice in two identical glass containers. Put one cup of rice in one jar and another cup in a separate jar. Talk to the rice every day for one month at the same time each day. Say “thank you” to one jar and say, “you fool” to the other jar.
This experiment is based on a picture of Emoto’s work summarized in his book “Messages in Water.”
In his experiment (pictured above), Emoto found that the rice that was told “thank you” was nearly fermented and had a nice, mellow, malted-rice aroma.
The other bowl of rice that was told, “you fool,” turned black, became rotten and smelled disgusting.

It’s so great you have started writing about the water experiments by Masuru Emoto! I think the topic of water, as well as of the other 4 elements, is very important. Many people still do not see that the world surrounding us is alive and many things we do cause the “phenomena” which happen in the world (like natural catastrophers, for example).
Just a “coicedence”: a month ago I wrote several posts about water in my Russian blog, one post being about the experiments by Masuro Emoto. May be one day I will raise this topic in my English blog as well

I found it interesting that the control jar, which was ignored was more rotten than the jar that was directed with the negative statement such as “i hate you”, “you make me sick” or “fool”. I immediately thought of one thing, when I was studying children’s services, I was requited to study a subject called ‘Child abuse’. The scaring the children are left with area ll bad and may last a life time, such as from sexual abuse, mental or emotional abuse. Yet the outcomes of the abuse ‘neglect’ seemed the worst of all. Maybe this shows that both positive and negative ‘energy’ may still give something to the rice, yet complete neglect makes for a more rotten outcome.
Just a thought I wanted to share, I may be totally off the mark
here!
Kind wishes,

Great post!
As far as water goes…I am really interested in drinking the best water I can.
I think everyone should try to find a free local spring nearby for the best water ever. I just discovered one at http://www.findaspring.com near my place in Seattle, WA. Amazing, clean, safe and cool water…100% free!
Posted some pics of the spring I go to and more info on my blog here:

Hi,
I’m just wondering if you have to open the lid of the jar to speak directly to the rice, or is it possible without opening the lid?
Thank you in advance
