Understanding the Power of Prayer

Bryce Haymond at his great Temple Study site reviews some of the information on group thought and concentrated collective intention titled, Prayer Circles and the Power of Group Thinking in Dan Brown’s ‘The Lost Symbol.’

Dr. Masaru Emoto did some interesting experiments on the power of thought or consciousness and prayer. His book, 'The Hidden Messages in Water' is an eye-opening theory showing how water is deeply connected to people's individual and collective consciousness. Drawing from his own research, scientific researcher, healer, and popular lecturer Dr. Masaru Emoto describes the ability of water to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. Using high-speed photography, he found that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward it. Music, visual images, words written on paper, and photographs also have an impact on the crystal structure. Emoto theorizes that since water has the ability to receive a wide range of frequencies, it can also reflect the universe in this manner. He found that water from clear springs and water exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns, while polluted water and water exposed to negative thoughts forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. Emoto believes that since people are 70 percent water, and the Earth is 70 percent water, we can heal our planet and ourselves by consciously expressing love and goodwill.

At Conscious Water Crystals, The Power of Prayer Made Visible, Emoto's research is demonstrated in some amazing photos as they explain how: "...the evidence is clear that we really can heal our Mother Earth through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. But one other ingredient is crucially important. That ingredient is belief. And since a picture is worth much more than any number of words, we sought to show you the simplest and most convincing pictures that we could find, demonstrating how our thoughts, words, and feelings affect so-called physical objects, right down to the molecular level."
