The Mandalas We Share


Within Buddhism and Hinduism, the word "mandala" refers to a geometric design that symbolizes the universe. Above is a mandala I created in Photoshop by transforming a photograph of water that had prayers of love and gratitude directed at it. How does it feel when you look at it?

In Dr. Masaru Emoto's ground breaking book, The Hidden Messages in Water, he presents incredible research he has done using high speed photography to capture images of water as it freezes. He has been able to reveal how the microscopic structure of water is affected by human thoughts towards it. His work demonstrates that harmonious, loving thoughts create healthy, harmonious patterns within the physical structure of water, while hateful and negative thoughts create disharmony and "broken off" areas that are very similar to the way cancer seems to function in the human body.

Given that you and everyone around you is composed of 45-50% water (depending on age and gender), it should not be surprising that your prayers for yourself and others can actually heal. So offer thoughts of love and gratitude to those around you. Remind yourself again and again of the beauty of life. Focus on what is good and healthy in the people you encounter instead of focusing on their short-comings. And see yourself as what is best in you too. When we are clear in intent, we can share together in a mandala of bliss.

From a source I read, it says over 70% of our body is water!! Water creates life. Water renews life. And water IS life. Think about how life started - our life begins with a fertilized egg, more than 95% of which is water. Before we are born, we live in our mother’s womb, which is mostly water. That's why water is divine. That's why water is energy and love.

A very peaceful mandala. It is a nice representaio of water. I agree with Passion City. We are mostly water and everything in this world we belong to is primarly water. We can function in the physical realm without water. Water is the element that sustains life as we know it. Your restructing of the water is what is should be it is the Mandala that will hang on my wall above my computer it sings to me.

thank you for this post. it doesn't surprise me that water is harmed by hateful energy. it seems that everything in the universe is. this is a good reminder to direct loving thoughts toward everything.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I use the lower body composition numbers because those seem most solidly based as an average. See these two link: Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/globe/search/stories/health/how_and_why/011298.htm) and Allegheny Univ. (http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/may2000/958588306.An.r.html) for example.

Whatever the exact figures, it is definitely something I remind myself of often, especially when I sit down to eat. I notice an amazing difference when I eat food I have prayed over or when I skip the prayer. Food is definitely mostly composed of water. To your health!
