Last month we duplicated an experiment at home, based on a documentary we saw about water.  A lot of new research supports the idea that water has memory. It can retain an “imprint” of energies to which it has been exposed to, such as music, words or even the energy of a person. I am interested in this topic since our bodies contain more than 50% water.  This experiment involves 3 bowls of water and rice. Our initial goal was, for the next 30 days Bo, my 7 year old daughter, would say to each bowl:

the first bowl of rice/water “You are disgusting”,
the second bowl “thank you”,
then …
She will completely ignore the third bowl.

She takes the bowl away to speak to it, just in case the other two bowls decide to eavesdrop.

We had to terminate the experiment early, here is what we found and why we ended it short:
In just two days, the “Thank you” bowl started to fermentate.

In just 5 days the “disgusting” bowl started to smell while the “Ignored” bowl also started to fermentate

In 18 days …

• the “Thank you” bowl smelled like baked bread,
• the “Ignored” bowl had a faint smell of baked bread along with a sharp smell of something else, and
• the “Disgusting” bowl had a rotting smell that permeated throughout the house.  A yellow and black ring was formed around the water.
• we decided to terminate the project, because it was hard to deliver the negative words to “Disgusting” when you can clearly see the impact, and Bo was having a hard time holding her breath as she said “Disgusting”.

We know that negative words and energy are destructive, but to see the physical transformation was truly an eye opening experience.  It made it so real for us on how love is such a gift and negativity is so unnecessary.  The impact of people growing up or being in an abusive environment is traumatic and can have long lasting effects.  It is good to remember that …

It doesn’t take much to be kind,
love is a real gift,
forgiveness is priceless, and
attract more positive energy with your own positive energy.
