A heart that is open to possibilities can lead to remarkable new discoveries, and that is how I came to experiment with water. I’d long since been curious about this incredible substance that circulates around the globe and flows in rivers and streams throughout the human body. One day, well over a decade ago now, I happened to open a book and read the words: “No two snow crystals are exactly the same.†Like most of us, this peculiar fact had been in my mind since I was a schoolboy, but that day, the words seemed to jump off the page. To think that every snowflake that has fallen to this earth over millions of years has its own unique face baffles the mind, and yet, when I read the words that day, something in my heart heard a compelling message. My next thought, “I could freeze water and look at the crystals,†opened the door to a fascinating adventure. In our experiments, we used both Japanese and English. Regardless of the language used, we found that the words affected the formation of the crystals. Water produces formations based on circumstances, not because of a specific language. If a circumstance is positive and the words used express goodness, the water will make a formation that reflects beauty. If a circumstance is negative and the words used express a mean-spirited quality, the water will create a formation that is ugly and evil looking. The results were equally revealing when we exposed water to music. Beautiful crystals with delicate detail resulted when we exposed the water to classical music. But water that was exposed to heavy metal music either did not form a crystal at all, or formed an ugly, malformed image. In one experiment, we wrote the words Love and Gratitude, wrapped them around various bottles of water, and placed them near mobile phones, computers, televisions and microwave ovens. What we found is that when water is put in a microwave, it produces an ugly ring that looks similar to the structure we found when water was exposed to the word “Satan.†The water placed next to the computers and televisions produced an insignificant-looking, blurry-edged ring. The water placed near the mobile phones wouldn’t produce a crystal at all. Substances in nature, like water, respond to our human thoughts. They can accept our thoughts to change their condition and quality. Our thoughts have an effect on the world around us. If we send out thoughts and feelings that are filled with fear, anger, or negativity, we are contributing to the destruction of the universe. If we emit thoughts of love, kindness and beauty, we are contributing to the creation of a beautiful world. This is what water crystals reveal. A powerful statement infused with the eternal energy of the universe, this chant spreads the energy to our surroundings and penetrates them with healing intent. By requesting harmony in our thoughts, we transformed the surface of the lake into a clean state. Our thoughts and prayers not only curbed the very bad smelling aquatic plant and changed the quality of the water; the quality of the grasses surrounding the lake also changed. Vocalizing this declaration, we influenced the natural world, resulting in greater happiness, peace, and the fulfillment of many wishes. I believe that vocalizing our intent in this way can also help us to actualize world peace.

Well, I do have the "wtf does all that mean?" question and thus decided to devote 10 seconds of my life to finding out a bit more. This site has a great explanation of what all that love/kindness/heavy metal/ stuff means in terms of water crystal formation. http://www.is-masaru-emoto-for-real.com/
