Being a musician I'm often drawn to the idea of vibrations.  I'm always searching for the vibrations and tones that coincide to make a beautiful sound, but vibrations go far beyond what we as humans can perceive with the naked ear.

Dr. Masaru Emoto brought to the world the concept of "hado," which has existed in the Japanese language for centuries. "Hado" translates to motion or vibration.  Dr. Emoto describes hado as the "intrinsic vibration patters at the atomic level in all matter,” which is based on the energy of human consciousness.  Hado can be found everywhere; in nature, our bodies, even innate objects.  Once it circulates through, hado then returns in to mother nature to begin its journey again.

Since hado can not be seen by the naked eye, Dr. Emoto set out to discover and develop a method that would visually demonstrate the idea of hado and show how powerful these vibrations could be.  Dr. Emoto developed the concept of taking photographs of frozen water crystals under a high magnification.  These crystallized molecules were exposed to written and spoken words as well as music and then photographed.  Each new vibration altered the crystal - for example, after being exposed to John Lennon's song Imagine, the crystal formed a beautiful dream like formation.  The word "peace" formed the crystal into an intricate beautiful design, yet after being exposed to the phrase "you fool” the crystals because distorted and melded together as if it was hurt.  This phenomenon is proof that feelings affect physical reality.

The human body is between 60% and 70% water and has the capability to feel every single emotion or change in vibration.  If on a small scale water crystals can be affected to the degree that Dr. Emoto discovered, imagine what they can do on our bodies or even the world and universe beyond.  We as humans need to take this into regard; the words that we say to each other and the actions we take on this earth because sticks and stones can hurt our bones and words can really hurt.
