Emoto Rice Experiment

Could your thoughts and energy change the way your body physically behaves?

A little background information - Dr. Masaru Emoto, the Japanese “scientist” who magically turns normal rice into gross rice, simply by yelling at it… Well not quite. His initial experiment was to do with water particles and how different crystals were formed based on the energy used towards them. He found that the water particles formed beautiful crystal structures with positive prayers. The effects of energy on water particles. If you look him up on the internet you will find many variations of his experiment so I too decided to give this a go. I'll firstly explain the set up, then I will explain what I found and of course the conclusion and what is to be done next…

The Setup - 21st June 2014.

1. I cook some white long grain rice in the rice cooker (I could have used raw rice and just added water also).

2. Got three relatively similar jars and cleaned them in the same manner. (in the following photos you will see the jars are slightly different, this is were a scientist would contest and yes I agree, the difference in jars could be an contributing factor to the rate of change therefore the resulting factor. Therefore I do plan to redo the experiment with changing the jars around)

3. I filled the three jars with roughly the same amount of rice from the same batch and ensured the lids were on tightly.

4. Labeled the jars with "Positive", "Negative" and "Neglect"

5. Took photos of these jars and left them in the same space with the same light over the next month and a half. (Now, another factor to consider here is that as it is not a totally controlled environment, the amount of sunlight can also affect the rice in these jars and I understand this, thus when we repeat this experiment, we should be able to see if the same results occur.) But the results of the experiment will…. keep reading on.

The Experiment

So every day for next few weeks, I was to talk to each of the jar. I didn't necessarily speak to it rather I used my positive and negative thoughts to speak to it.

I would say or think positive thoughts to the "Positive" Jar.

I would say or think negative thoughts to the "Negative" Jar.

I would neglect the third jar.

These are things we do to ourselves on a daily basis without thinking about it. Many of us get up in the morning and already we are bombarding ourselves with negativity. How awful we look that morning, how we dislike something about ourselves or how we put ourselves down. Think about it… that is not a great start to the day, why would we want to do that to ourselves?!

The Results

Below are some of the photos from the experiment. You will be shocked at the results you will see.

Conclusion

As you can see, no visible mould was formed in the positive jar of rice, while the two other jars had quite a difference result. I did expect the 'Negative' jar to be much worst and in many of the online experiment it was, you can see how being neglect can also have a damaging effect.

The human body is made up of approximately 70 - 75% water, you can see how relevant this experiment can be. Despite the scientific concerns you may have, this is just an experiment to show you that your thoughts and energy can greatly affect the way your body. The type of energy we either exert or receive can greatly affect our own physical body as well as to those around us. Based on how you treat your body, your body will respond in certain manner. This is already evident in what you eat is what you are.

Learn to be more positive whether it be toward others or yourself, you should try and start the day with happy and positive thoughts. As they say, before you do something, imagine yourself succeeding at it, what it looks like and feels like, this is the first step to prepare you mentally then physically. So next time before you think or speak, remember the effect it may have. Always chose to be better.
