Our Connection With Water
•
“The average human body is 70 percent water”
(Page xv).
•
“We start out life being 99 percent water, as
fetuses. When we are born, we are 90 percent
water, and by the time we reach adulthood we are
down to 70 percent. If we die of old age, we will
probably be about 50 percent water. In other
words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as
water” (Page xv).

What does it all Mean?
•
“Modern researchers have shown that the
condition of the mind has a direct impact on
the condition of the body” (Page xvi).
•
Since we are made primarily of water, and
since water can be influenced by positive and
negative energy, maintaining a positive
attitude (and exuding positive energy) can
directly impact our whole being
A Family’s Experiment
•
“A family that subscribed to our magazine
conducted an experiment. They put rice in two
glass jars, and every day for a month they said
‘Thank you’ to one jar and ‘You fool’ to the other,
and then they tracked how the rice changed over
the period. Even the children, when they got home
from school, would speak these words to the jars of
rice.
After a month, the rice that was told ‘Thank
you’ started to ferment, with a mellow smell like that
of malt, while the rice that was exposed to ‘You
fool’ rotted and turned black” (Page 65).

Does the Criticism Discount the
Experiment’s Validity?
•
Although Dr. Emoto’s experiment is heavily
criticized, there seems to be a significant
amount of research reinforcing that people
can benefit overall from a positive mind, or
exposure to sources of positive energy.
Conclusion – My Takeaways
•
Being positive means focusing on the good things that
happen in our lives, rather than on the things that make us
mad or upset, or don’t go the way we like
•
Thinking positively has a major impact on how we feel, the
things we do, and what we say to others
•
Even though we all have not-so-good days, remaining
positive helps us through
•
When we focus on the negatives all the time, we may feel
exhausted, unmotivated and “blah” – the opposite can be
achieved by focusing on the positives
•
Positive words, positive actions, and positive thoughts all
result in positive energy (vibrations).
•
“The vibration of good words has a positive effect on our
world, whereas the vibration from negative words has the
power to destroy” (Page xxv).
Reflection
•
Take some time to think about a recent
experience of your own that was negative or
one in which you responded in a negative
way. How could you have changed your way
of thinking to make it positive?
•
“The life you live and the world you live in are
up to you” (Page 52).

O verview A s we go about our daily tasks (school, work, etc.), it is inevitable for us to encounter situations that may be overwhelming or frustrating. U sually, these types of situations may elicit negative responses. A lthough a negative response may be typical, it is important for us to understand that something as simple as maintaining a positive attitude can help us through tough times. In the book, T he H idden M essages in W ater, this idea is discussed in detail, while highlighting the power of words.
O ur C onnection W ith W ater T he average human body is 7 0 percent water (P age xv). W e start out life being 9 9 percent water, as fetuses.

In other words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as water (P age xv).
T he E xperiment D r. E moto and his associates exposed water to positive and negative words, expressions, and music. S ubsequently, they froze the water and photographed the crystals that formed.
