You may have heard about Masaru Emoto’s research on the effects of thought and emotions on water crystals as presented in the popular film What the Bleep Do We Know? The film left me a little skeptical about Emoto’s research on the effects of emotions on water crystals, especially since a quick search on the web found no other conclusive studies to verify his findings. However, further digging uncovered amazing scientific facts that, taken together, have revolutionary implications that may validate Emoto’s findings.

Everything in the universe is composed of energy.

All matter in the universe is comprised of atoms, and all atoms vibrate at differing frequencies depending on how much energy they store. Atoms within hot objects vibrate more vigorously than those within cold objects. The theoretical temperature of absolute zero (the temperature at which the vibration of atoms ceases) has never, and, theoretically, will never be attained.

Vibrational energies are always looking for equilibrium; therefore, when atoms contact other atoms vibrating at a higher or lower frequency, the entire group of atoms finds the middle ground and vibrates at the median frequency. Atoms exposed to a sustained energy source (a constant vibrational frequency) will begin to vibrate at the same sustained frequency—even when separated by distance (e.g., a parabolic heater). These facts form the basis for heating and refrigeration systems, and are also, I believe, similar to the mechanics involved with brain-wave entrainment (visit www.immanence.ca to read the Binaural Beats article, Sept/Oct. 2008 page 16).

Vibrational energy is in all matter and can be passed on from one atom to another over distance. This is a sound scientific foundation to build upon.

Electro-magnetic energy can hold and transmit information over vast distances.

Energy in its many forms (heat, light, microwaves, etc.) is comprised of electromagnetic waves oscillating at a wide range of frequencies (EM frequencies). EM waves are comprised of magnetic and electrical waves running perpendicular to each other, and are self-propagating (a moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, and a moving magnetic field creates an electric charge—and so on). The cool part is that EM energy can be transmitted through matter (solids, liquids, and gases) as well as a vacuum (outer space)—and can contain information.

Radio waves, for example, are EM frequencies that have been used for communication for over a hundred years. They can accurately transmit the infinite complexities of classical music with amazing clarity and detail. The self-propagating properties of EM waves allow them to reach stellar distances, as is evident in radio wave telescopes developed to be able to “see” far into deep space (likewise, these are used to “listen” for deep-space extraterrestrial intelligence).

Light waves are EM frequencies of higher vibration which can also transmit information, either directly to our eye (as vision), or through fiber-optics and lasers.

The brain generates EM frequencies.

The brain is an electrochemical organ using electromagnetic energy to function. EM energy is constantly surging throughout our bodies as our brains tell our muscles how to move and our nerves tell our brains what we experience.

Electroencephalography (EEG) records electrical activity in the brain. Our emotional states are often a complex soup of overlapping feelings and mixed thoughts, and therefore the brain is constantly emitting multiple frequencies at any given time. EEG machines can read the dominant frequencies emitted by the brain (near the skull) with accuracy to the millisecond. An EEG chart shows oscillations of varying frequencies corresponding to the dominance of the brainwaves detected. Although the fact that our brain produces EM frequencies is evident in EEG charts, the neuronal networks underlying these oscillations are not fully understood. Nonetheless, psychological experiments using EEG machines indicate a direct correlation between differing states of mind and brain-wave frequency.

For example, the brain emits frequencies in the beta spectrum (approx. 13–40 Hz) when alert and actively thinking. Brain waves peak in the higher beta frequencies when one experiences fear, anger, worry, hunger or surprise (heightened alertness). The alpha state (8–13Hz) occurs when we are awake but relaxed, and is associated with focused, uncluttered thinking, enhanced learning, and creative visualisation. In a deep meditative state, the brain emits theta waves (4–8 Hz). From the EEG chart comparison below, it’s easy to see that lower stress results in less chaotic EM frequencies with a gently oscillating wave pattern.

We therefore have evidence that the brain can produce EM waves of varying frequencies depending on our moods, and these waves are much calmer when we are at peace than when we are in an agitated state. The question arises: do these brainwaves carry information that can be received by other people or objects?

Auras

We continually emit various gases and water vapour from our bodies which can be detected by sensitive equipment. Kirlian Photography is a technique discovered in 1939 by Semyon Kirlian that shows auras around objects (living and inanimate) using electrically charged photographic plates.

Although there is much controversy over what, exactly, these images represent, it is generally understood that they are a result of the electro-magnetic energy fields that surround each person or object. Interestingly, the colors and intensities of the images produced by Kirilian photography change with the subject’s mood and state of being. Currently, research by Russian scientist Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, using such gas-discharge visualisation has led to techniques now in use by some hospitals and athletic-training programs as a method of detecting stress in the body.

Cymatics—Patterns In the Sand

Cymatics is the study of the effect of sound and vibration on a flat surface. In the late 1700s, Ernst Chladni researched patterns created in sand on a vibrating metal plate. When an unwavering pure tone (sine wave) is introduced to a metal plate covered with sand, intricate geometric patterns emerge. This is the result of the particles of sand bouncing around until they find the “nodes” where the sound waves running through the plate cancel each other out (thus creating lines of stillness on the plate where the sand settles). When the frequency is wavering or chaotic, the patterns distort and disappear. What is learned from the experiments is that frequency can affect how particles arrange themselves.

Pure, focused tones can create amazingly complex geometrical patterns, while discordant frequencies produce no geometric patterns at all.

Conclusion

The summary reads as follows: The human mind and body emit EM frequencies that change with our states of mind; EM frequencies are proven to affect other objects physically even over distance—creating harmony or discordance (depending on their frequency)within particulate structures. The question in my mind is, Does this suggest that EM frequencies generated by our bodies have similar effects on molecular structure of water or other matter? That is a question for another several days of research and thought—your turn.
