Physical repercussions

Are you generally a happy person? Do you spend most of your days angry for one reason or another? How is your health? Are you sick once or twice a week? Continuously? Or are you one of those people that only really gets sick once in a blue moon?

I have long believed that overall energy level and emotional output have a direct correlation with physical health and well being. Recently I came across some information that, while not directly claiming it,  seems to rather strongly support that belief.

There is a researcher, Dr Masaru Emoto, who began doing some experiments back in the early '90s about emotional impact on crystalline structures in frozen water. And his discoveries are pretty amazing.

To start off, with polluted water generally does not form any crystalline structure at all when frozen and the ice generally forms random harsh patterns. Only clean pure water forms crystalline structures. That pretty much stands to reason as, in polluted water, the impurities would prevent the crystals from forming.

The amazing part is that when a group of researchers focused positive thoughts on polluted water, when frozen, it did show crystalline structure, implying that to some degree, the emotional input of the researchers did in fact purify the water. The same experimentation was done in reverse. Negative thoughts used on pure water caused the same kinds of results as simply freezing polluted water, no crystalline structure and ugly chaotic patterns.

Experiments were done with bottled water that they labeled with different phrases. The positively labeled ones froze and created beautiful crystalline patterns and the harsh and negative ones did not.

They even had groups of researchers focus on different bodies of water around the world. Even when the researchers were thousands of miles away from the water being focused on, beautiful thoughts created beautiful crystalline patterns. Ugly thoughts simply created ugly frozen water.

The same type of experimentation was done with a variety of different types of music. Bottles of water were placed between a pair of speakers while music was being played. Music that was considered harmonic and generally pleasing to the ear caused the water, when frozen to freeze into nice looking crystals. Discordant grating music created random chaotic patterns when frozen.

Although many of the experiments have not been done completely under the scientific method, with too many variables for it to be declared a real science the results are too spectacular to ignore.

The general conclusion here is that water has memory. It holds within it energy that is focused around and towards it. What does this have to do with you? Well, the human body is made up of approximately 60% water. Think about all the energy that is focused on you on a regular basis.

I for one have never been that big on the power of prayer used for healing the sick. But now, I'm having second thoughts about that. My reasoning has been that I am not sure the deity being prayed to is real. If though, the healing comes from the intent of those praying, then that really doesn't matter now does it?

And last but not least, back to the beginning. If your body retains within it the energy focused through it, then your thoughts have a direct impact on your overall level of health. Being angry, angsty and hate filled will make you sick. Being grateful, and filled with love for yourself and your fellow man will heal you and help keep you hale.

I can't Let it Go

A little over a week ago we went and saw the movie Frozen. It's based on a story by Hans Christian Anderson. And by based on I mean if you have read the book there's a couple of characters that you might recognize in the movie. It's actually so different as to be ridiculous. The book is much more of an acid trip and the movie actually, kinda, makes sense, as long as you believe in both magick and the power of true love.

The point here is that even though the movie experience was over a week ago, the song Let it Go, is still rolling around in my head. I can't seem to get rid of it. But I don't really mind since the singer has a strong, powerful, beautiful voice and the song is very empowering.

We don't really get to directly pick what our subconscious mind focuses on. However, if Let it Go had a negative message or was filled with violent imagery then I would put in some serious effort to remove it from my mind.

Why? One because I like to think about happy positive things and two because what you focus on you tend to bring about in your life. You might say it's just a song, how much damage can it do? Well, it has been proven through multiple scientific studies that your mind can not tell the difference between an action you have taken and something that you have vividly imagined. And what is a song but something that you vividly imagine??

Or how about TV? Do you realize just how much violence, sadness and overall negativity are on television today? Most people relate somewhat to the TV that they watch. We tend to put ourselves into the shoes of at least one of the characters on whatever show it is. And then we react subconsciously as if the events were happening to us. Consciously we know it's not real, but we put ourselves through the experience anyways.

We program ourselves for the types of things that we want in our lives. The average person comes home and immediately either turns on some music or the television just to have something going on in the background while they go about their evening routine. Our conscious mind pays no attention to what is going on in the background, but our subconscious does. And since our subconscious mind makes all the choices for things like our self esteem and our outlook on the world shouldn't we want to fill it up with positive things rather than negative?

We can't pick what our subconscious mind focuses on but we can give it more good targets than bad. What kinds of things are there to watch out for? Violent imagery on TV, country music or gangster rap and believe it or not the news. It hardly ever has anything good to say. It's all about who is getting shot up or who is stealing from who, generally painting a bleak picture of life in this world.

Anything that focuses on the horrors of war, poverty, sickness, crime, greed, pain or loss should be things that we avoid feeding our subconscious mind in general, but especially just before bed or right after we wake up, as this is when our minds are most impressionable.

I am not saying don't listen to music or watch TV. But listen to and watch things that are uplifting and inspiring. There is nothing wrong with adversity. It is required for growth. However make what you focus on triumph over adversity rather than failure. That way you program your mind for success.
