The Power Of Positive Reinforcement

What we can learn from Dr Masaru Emoto’s water experiment

For those unfamiliar with Dr. Masaru Emoto, he was a Japanese scientist who believed that our words and thoughts could affect the molecular structure of water.

He believed that positive thoughts and words could create beautiful patterns when water was frozen and that negative thoughts and words could create less visually appealing shapes in the water when it was frozen.

He conducted various experiments to test his theories.

“Masaru Emoto has carried out very interesting experiments with water at critical point for freezing. He claims that words expressing emotions have effect on the crystals formed in the process. Emoto reports that words with positive emotional contents produce beautiful crystals and those with negative emotional content generate ugly ones. Also music and even pictures are reported to have similar effect.” -M. Pitkanen

His experiment is intriguing because it is the physical manifestation of how positive reinforcement creates beautiful results. Although Dr Emoto had been experimenting with water, it is a greater metaphor for how we should be speaking to ourselves as we are composed of roughly 60% water.

If we improved our inner narrative, the beliefs we tell ourselves and the content that we feed ourselves, then surely this will have a positive effect on us too.

It is so interesting that surrounding the water with positivity had a positive effect on it. This is inspiring because it is truly proof that we can affect our environment with how we show up and what we choose to engage in.

Choosing to indulge in positive self-talk and information will have a much better impact on our brain and self-image than if we were to invest our time on things that do not stimulate our brain in a positive way.

If we can learn anything from Dr. Emoto’s water experiment is that environment is everything. If we cultivate and refine our surroundings into a space of positives we can shift ourselves into a state of beauty inside and out.
