Could it be that water is conscious? And could it be that water's actual quality is affected by what we think? If so, given that your own body is 70% water, would you be inclined to pause before letting negative thoughts hijack your mind?

Dr. Masaru Emoto has demonstrated with dramatic visual evidence that water is, indeed, a conscious element. It absorbs information and offers immediate feedback, reflecting the frequency of positive or negative vibrations it receives. As a research scientist, Dr. Emoto has taken a monumental step toward confirming what spiritual masters have said all along: that consciousness is present at every level of existence.

It is hardly a leap of reason to surmise that personal, national and planetary health is directly related to the measure of harmony, or lack of it, that we invest in its care. If all is vibration, then all is subject to the nature of its environment: the vibrations that impact, infuse and surround it. And this would have to hold true across the board, whether in reference to the state of a person's immune system or the state of affairs in the Middle East.

Based on the crystalline water images that Dr. Emoto has captured on film over many years of study – exquisitely beautiful compositions when photographed in response to loving words or pastoral music, for example; cloudy or grotesque images in response to angry words or heavy-metal music – he has emerged as one of the world's most persuasive advocates for making positive changes in how we think, speak and relate to each other at every level of experience.

Anyone who needs convincing that Dr. Emoto's findings are more than just theoretical should (1) have a look at any of his splendid books, (2) try an ongoing personal experiment, testing the practicality of relating to all of life with gratitude and love and (3) experience one of Dr. Emoto's presentations in person....

Dr. Emoto's discoveries are enormously empowering in their implications. Each of us has the capacity to end our suffering in the blink of an eye simply by choosing joy in response to life. What if we saw our enemies as mirrors that reflect our own disowned darkness and thanked them for the lessons they provide? Would our enemies not lose their grip on us and eventually choose – out of practical necessity – to respond in kind?

Life will not cease to send us difficult challenges. But we can cease to regard them as gloomy turns of fate, knowing that each contains its own solution. If we do, as water crystals tell us, blessings of love, gladness and inner wellness are required by the laws of attraction to flow.
