Thoughts and words have measurable frequencies

Quantum physics claims that you cannot have a universe without the mind entering into it. For that matter, the mind is shaping everything that is perceived. It has also been proven scientifically that an affirmative thought is 100 xs more powerful than a negative thought. We must chose our thoughts carefully and that is easier said than done, considering that we have about 60,000 thoughts a day. This idea that thoughts are powerful has also been proven in Olympians. Researchers using sophisticated biofeedback equipment monitored Olympic athletes while they were envisioning their running course in their minds. During envisioning, the same muscles fired in the same sequence as if they had been on the track. Amazing isn't it?

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.” (Buddha) This claim makes me uneasy, if I think of the misery that is all over the world. But over time I have come to realize that caring, forgiving, loving and positive thoughts do change remarkably how other people respond to us. In addition, with that, our possibilities change and the environment in which we operate will change. In the film: “The Secret” (available on Netflix) we hear that our feelings let us know what we are thinking. Bad feelings show that our thoughts are negative and good feelings show us that our thoughts are positive. So our feelings are a tool to keep us on track.

Masauro Emoto is a Japanese Scientist who attempted to prove that thoughts and words are energies, which affect us. You may want to read his books: The Hidden Messages of Water, Messages from Water and the Universe, The True Power of Water: Healing and Discovering Ourselves, Love Thyself.......and more. He used a special camera to photograph changes in ice cubs after words and phrases were repeated continuously. Those ice cubes showed imprints from words uttered (this description is of course simplified). Benevolent words showed symmetrical snowflake like patterns, while harmful thoughts and words showed ugly pattern. “I will kill you” showed literally an imprint that looked like a person with a gun. The opposing view from some scientists is the claim that Emoto has not presented to certain scientific entities and has not gone the route a scientist should. Hence they think his findings should be discounted. Nevertheless, neuro science is coming to the rescue. Emoto may be disregarded in the academic community, however, his claims have been proven repeatedly by renowned neuro-scientists.

Words can Change Your Brain, a book written by Dr. Newberg and R. Waldman addresses the impact of negative and positive words. “Words can heal or hurt, and it only takes a few seconds to prove this neurological fact.”¹ “Any form of negative rumination-for example, worrying about your financial future or health-will stimulate the release of destructive neuro-chemicals.”² “There is mounting evidence that strongly negative terms can interrupt the normal expression of genes that regulate one of the most important language centers of the brain, the Wernicke's area.”³Using brain scan technology, these findings can be verified. At the same time if people meditated, or prayed, that strengthened areas in the brain that are involved with lowering anxiety and depression. This activity rather enhanced empathy, compassion and social awareness.⁴ Newberg describes that the language of love is the most sophisticated communication process of all.

Interestingly we are not even close to understanding what impact our words have and even less so, the impact of our thoughts. “Dean Radin, senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, did a double blind study on the effects of human intention on another person's autonomic nervous system, and his team discovered that the sender's compassionate thoughts generated small changes in the skin conductance of the distant receiver, even though the person receiving the thoughts was unaware of the exact experiment. Radin's team also showed that our thoughts might be able to affect inert substances at a distance-such as water crystals that were located literally on the other side of the planet.”⁵ In this case, Emoto would certainly have been right with his findings. Considering that all humans contain a large amount of water, we would be quite easily affected by thought, if thought truly has such power.

Let me bring up the fact that humans think many negative thoughts; speak many negative words, more so than positive ones. Sometimes it seems people get a kick out of being negative or using foul language. Imagine just for a moment, having two magic wands in your hand, one creates rainbows and beautiful landscapes and the other creates mud and more mud. Before we know it that mud is in everything we see, use, and do. Those are our negative thoughts and words. The mud is so deeply entrenched that we would have to consciously make major changes in anything, from school, media, workplaces, pretty much anywhere a human interacts.

We would have to create a word and thought measuring meter of some sort to make visible our very creations we are currently so unaware. I suppose only then could we be convincing or become convinced how harmful negative thoughts and words are and how life-giving positive ones are.

Exercises:

Read some of Emoto's books to open your mind.

Listen carefully to what people say .....sensitize yourself to what the energies of the words feel like.

Pray for others.
