Positive Mental Attitude

A positive mental attitude has long been known as one of the foundations of good health, along with sleep, exercise, healthy diet, chiropractic care and/or massage and/or acupuncture, and meditation or mental relaxation. There is now scientific proof of just how important surrounding ourselves in a positive environment is to our wellbeing. The best information comes from research by Dr. Masaru Emoto. His book, The Hidden Messages in Water, explores the power of positive or negative thoughts on the formation of healthy water crystals.

He studied the formation of water crystals from droplets around the world, from tap water in large cities to glaciers in Alaska and streams in the high mountains. They found that water from stagnant sources or sources like tap water that contained chlorine and fluoride to protect people from “disease” would not form crystals at all or formed very disorganized structures. Yet crystals from running streams were whole and formed beautiful designs.

Taking this to the next level, researchers retested the samples with words like “friendship” and “gratitude” and “love” taped to the water sample. They found that by surrounding the water with positive words, beautiful, whole crystals formed. When surrounded by words of hatred, the crystals would not form properly and created an “evil eye appearance.”

What does this study of water crystals tell us about our health? Well, if 60 to 90 percent of our body’s makeup is water (depending on our stage of life), then surrounding ourselves with a positive environment will allow us to function differently than if surrounded by negative stuff. This happens because of the frequency at which positive and negative things vibrate. Positive environments function with harmony and balance, whereas negative influences create disruption. That disruption in our lives can create dis-ease in the body and a state in which sickness can develop.

This gives us something to think about, because we have the choice to pick our attitude each and every day regardless of what is happening in our life.
