When my sister was in massage school, they taught her that "water is sensitive to the vibrations of energy," i.e., if you're nice to your water, it makes it "better" for you, and if you're mean to it, it makes it "worse."

They supposedly take photographs that prove this, but in their own literature, it says the photographs are not real photographs.

So you should test this somehow. Is water sensitive to the vibrations of energy? Does sending bad energy to your water make it somehow worse, and good energy make it somehow better?

Hmmm... Why did i enter this post.

You sister’s teachers need a good hard smack to the back of the head.

What the heck kind of “vibrations of energy” are they talking about, what the heck does that have to do with good or bad feelings, and are they really so stupid as to spread that crap as useful knowledge?!

This is beyond Oogie Boogie. This something that someone would have to have been stoned out of their mind to have thought up.

Probably reverberations of Dr. Emoto.

I've heard about this in a book before that had pictures of ice crystals made from water that was "seeded" with different types of energy, like excitement, love, joy, angst, whatever.

The ones with "Good Vibrations" (sorry couldn't help myself) had a much neater structure, while the ones with negative energy had rougher structures...

The book is What the BLEEP Do We Know?!

That should be the question those crazy teachers are asking.

Run the water through a Brita or Pur Filter and it should be fine.

Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. Sometimes it has varying minerals in it, most of them are good for you. Giving your water positive or negative emotion is likely impossible.

But, what if water really, really hates being run through a filter? It could be disturbing being broken up and forced through a million tiny openings...

The problem is this is impossible to test. this is all based on someone's opinion on what is a neater picture.

What may be a neater crystal pattern to one person may not be to someone else. there is no way to define rules that you can use to measure the level of neatness in a picture like is suggested.

The popularity of this idea comes largely from the work of a Japanese artist, whose name I cannot recall - who made microphotographs of water taken from various sources, and treated in various ways, which was then frozen. The water _seemed_, purportedly, to react to moods, etc., in the patterns of its crystallization. 'Experiments' of this sort -could- be duplicated in a lab, but this was work done by an artist, not in a scientifically controlled or verifiable way. So whether you believe it or not is up to you, and your estimation of the character of the artist who did this work. IF there is something to it, it would quite simply indicate that there is something going on here - some "force" affecting the crystallization patterns of quite ordinary water - which is completely unaccountable for, within the terms of ordinary physics. Some possible candidates would include 'morphogenetic fields', of the sort propounded by Rupert Sheldrake; or 'water elementals', such as those discussed by the ancient natural philosopher Paracelsus, and believed in by Wiccans. In other words, any likely explanation would be quite outside the bound of commonly accepted theories of physics. Whether or not such a phenomenon does exist, however, is a question which ought to be rigorously testable by scientific means.

I named him above, Dr. Emoto
