Before the month of August gets away, I just had to share something I received from Steve Simon who is a most fantastic artist.
Billie and I visited my mom and sister in July. Before we left, I had my sister put rice in two plastic cups and labeled them “1″ and “2.” She placed them on top of her refrigerator. Each day I sent loving energy to 1 and ignored 2. My sister just returned from a trip to Europe and sent me this photo. Besides the difference in appearance, she said the darker rice was all stuck together and the whiter rice was not. Indeed, distance has no impact on positive energy! Also, even though they were right next to each other my intention was only directed at number 1.
Once again the power of our thoughts has been proven with this simple “experiment” that can be applied to any situation. So, I emailed Steve and asked him to join me and others in another “experiment”. This one involves a neighbor and his girlfriend who are heavy smokers and play their music very loud. The intention is to focus on an energy of light, love and gratitude about this situation without any expectations. I will keep you update you on this “experiment” as changes occur.
Some months ago I did the Emoto experiment with rice and water. The one on the left I silently said “thank you” to every day (or as often as I remembered) and sent it positive loving energy. The one on the right I sent negative thoughts. As Emoto writes in his book, first the rice in the “thank you” sample turned yellow and the rice in the “you fool!” container got black spots. Eventually, the water in the “thank you” container began to ferment into something of a sake wine with a golden amber hue.
