Remember we're talking about the psyche here, which is much more than what is in the conscious mind. De-stressing on a mental level involves focusing on space in the mind, rather than the focus on “what is not,” the future, the past, and lack. Notice how these focuses create the experience of compression, whereas focusing on space creates the experience of ease and relaxation.


Emotional Stress


In the emotional realm, stress is the experience of compression, which can be translated as “negative” feelings, anger, frus- tration, separation, guilt, sadness, wrong,


and so on. All the emotions which are considered “negative” are different forms of emotional compression, where the energy of what we call emotion is not allowed to move freely. This experience is greatly af- fected by what one holds in one's mind. Yet the emotional part of self is not the same as the mind, and has its own way of function- ing. Holding a focus of ease, space and flow in one's mind helps to de-stress on the emotional level.

Overnight, the water re-structured itself into various different shapes, depend- ing on the word on the paper. Words such as “neighborly love,” “wisdom” and “hap- py” created beautiful, hexagonal shapes in the water. Other words, like “hate,” “grief,” and “blasphemy” created distorted, ugly and terrible shapes in the water.


This tells us that what we think, feel,


say and do has a direct impact – both seen and unseen – on our own “water.” The water in your body, what we can call your “biowater,” needs to be structured for optimal health and well-being. When we consider Dr. Emoto's work, we can see that our own inner and outer environments have an effect on our health through the impact on our biowater.
