The Secret Life of Water

I found this book at the library while we were on Martha's Vineyard for business and vacation. I was not able to finish the book but found it very informative. It is not a Christian book but you can see from the excerpts the Biblical concepts in the ideas.

"Through this book and through these crystal photographs, I hope to convey the power of prayer.

"When water is exposed to certain expressions— "You're cute," "You're beautiful," "Love and gratitude"— a beautiful crystal results when the water is frozen. What does this really mean for us? The thoughts in our hearts have an impact on all life and and in the creation of our world tomorrow.

"A wondrous power besides within the human soul. We hear all the time that our actions are a result of our thoughts, and this principle is truly demonstrated in how water forms crystals according to what influences it has been exposed to."

Page 16

"Think back far enough in your life and you'll probably remember a time when you felt innocent bliss. Your life had meaning and you were so busy living that time was forgotten. Then adulthood set in and you put those things away and locked the door. Perhaps you have even forgotten where you put the key.

"But those happy feelings are not gone for good. With a little effort, you can open the door and take out those things that you thought were forever a part of your past. When you are true to your self and search for what you really want to be and do, your life will once again begin to flow."

"One treatment suggested for people with cancer is "life-purpose treatment." By finding a purpose in life —giving speeches, climbing a mountain, laughing— the immune system is revitalized and the cancer often goes into remission. It's now common knowledge in the medical community that your mind has an enormous impact on your body. Filling your body with the hado of bliss is the very best secret for living a healthy life."

"Yukio Funai, a famous business consultant in Japan who has provided advice to some three thousand companies, advocates an effective method for strengthening the abilities of companies and individuals. He calls this method the "strength-development method," and it simply involves focusing on the strengths of the company or the individual and working to expand those strengths. Weaknesses are not even considered. The result is that the strengths become stronger and the weaknesses take care of themselves."

Page 19

"When you find what you do best and realize that this is where you need to focus your attention, then you will be well on your way to returning to bliss. It won't be long before yo sense that your life is undergoing a change. If you know someone, perhaps a child, who is focused on a sport or a certain aspect of study, then you need to provide nourishment in the form of encouragement and compliments. This will help the person become even more focused and more determined.

A good illustration of what can result from the right words can be seen in the formation of water crystals. When water is exposed to the words "you have to do it," the result is never a well-formed crystal. This also goes for words like "You fool," and the worst, "It's no good." Perhaps it's time to take these words out of your vocabulary. Fill it instead with word like "Thank you," "Let's do it," "I love you," "Beautiful," and "Well done." Make these warm and beautiful words the ones you use the most."

"One way to look at words is to consider them the switch for turning on or off the vibration of everything in the universe. Or perhaps words can be thought of as a remote control that has the power to reach anywhere."

Page 24
"Life is not all happiness. As long as there is life, there will be sadness. All our high hopes can be easily deflated, but another way to look at this is to realize that unhappiness is the path on the way to happiness.

"We exposed water to the the words "happiness" and "unhappiness." As expected, the water exposed to 'happiness formed beautiful round crystals that would make a precious ring. But what about crystals formed from water exposed to "unhappiness"? We expected to find deformed and broken crystals, but the crystals were rather beautiful hexagonal crystals that looked like they had been cut in half. It looked as if the water was trying its best to form crystals. It would seem, the, that unhappiness is not really the opposite of happiness. Unhappiness, in fact, is the process required for the creation of happiness."

Page 51 and 52

"For example, if a person is experiencing liver problems, then we will also almost always find that the person has anger issues. The wavelength generated by anger is the same as the wavelength generated by the molecules of the cells that make up the liver, so the wavelengths of anger and the liver are in tune with each other. In the same way, the emotion of sadness is in tune with the blood, and so sad people tend to be easily plagued by leukemia and hemorrhage-type strokes. Continued irritability damages the nervous system, often leading to pain, sensitivity, and stiff muscles in the lower neck and shoulders."

"To make your own flower essence, go outside on a bright and sunny morning and collect flowers. Cut each flower at the stem, being careful not to touch the flower itself with your hand. Then put the flowers in a container filled with fresh and pure water and set it in the sun. In about four hours, the essence of th flower will be transferred to the water. You can add a little brandy to make the water last longer. Store the water in glass bottles, and as you use it, dilute it even more with water. As needed, put a few drops on your tongue. Your body and soul will feel the effect without the typical side effects of modern medicine."
