If water molecules change shape in response to thoughts, maybe the water in our sensitive bodies picks up on that.
In one scene in the … documentary entitled What the Bleep Do We Know!?
, a monk blesses a drop of water, and the water takes a round shape. When teenagers yell at the water, it takes an oblong shape. Because our bodies are made up of more than 75 percent water, our thoughts can physically affect the shape of the water. So when someone yells at us, what happens? We feel uncomfortable, nauseous, perhaps just plain sick!
~ Gary Seigel, The Mouth Trap
Research by Dr. Masaru Emoto shows mind-boggling photos of exactly how water molecules change shape. Polluted water looks random and unformed, while water from pristine streams forms beautiful crystals. Water in containers with words taped to them overnight show similar differences, depending on the nature of the words.
That’s all very fascinating on its own, but what I keep thinking about is the tidbit I read somewhere (and I can’t remember where) about highly sensitive people tending to prefer to live near water. If, as Dr. Emoto’s research appears to confirm, water is a rich source of information about all kinds of things, then sensitive people may be particularly tuned to its messages – within us and all around us.

I simply am in awe of Dr. Emoto’s work! And I think you may be on to something about being near water.
I live on the desert but in an apt complex with a center area and three fountains (built 30+ years ago when water on the desert wasn’t such an issue). My apt faces the center of the complex where the fountains are. I am never so happy as when the weather warms up enough that I can have my balcony door open all night to sleep by the sound of the fountains.
Thanks for all the links!
Grace,
Thanks for this very insightful post! Right after seeing “What the Bleep…”, I ran right out and got Dr. Emoto’s “The Hidden Messages in Water.” The images are so stunning… so arresting… they really speak for themselves with very little commentary necessary. The perfectly symmetrical and gorgeous formation of frozen water exposed to the word/projected thought “Love” or “Gratitude” was wildly different from the grossly disfigured water crystals exposed to the word/projected thought “Hate” or “Anger.”
And, yes. What of the 3/4 water in our own bodies, then?
Profound.
I’m grateful to you for sharing this wondrous information.
Warmest Regards,

I’m glad that idea resonates for you both.
Erika, your comment reminds me that I forgot to mention Dr. Emoto’s books in the post. I’ll add them now, after the fact.
Also, I love Dr. Emoto’s last name: EMOTO
It sounds like the name of the HSP superhero…DR. EMOTO!
Dear Grace:
I love how your creative mind came up with the idea of being “tuned to water’s messages-within us and all around us.” Wow! What a great idea and something fun to play with and explore.
Thanks also for the “tidbit” about living near water. Another confirmation of this high sensitivity trait and all of its wonderful dimensions.
Time to go for a walk by the lake.
Thanks to you, too, Dorothy.
It’s fun to look at Dr. Emoto’s photos (rhyming snicker moment) and think about those beautiful forms of water existing inside of me.
Something to aim for.
