Gratitude

Giving thanks has long been a human tradition and modern day experiences show us that gratitude is healing and energizing to our spirit. It was Dr. Mazaru Emoto's famous water study that showed us that words and intention change the molecular structure of molecules. In his study Dr. Emoto placed two bottles of water on a school table and had the children say "thanks" to one and "useless" to another. The one receiving thanks showed strong and well-shaped molecules, the other was weak and deformed. Remember, we are 99% water so... be grateful for everything you have and have done, no matter how small.

Our bodies respond very positively when we are grateful. Gratitude is healing. Sometimes when I feel down I like to think about things I've achieved and remind myself that I could have made the choice not to do those things. It's important to remind ourselves that we are capable of making healthy choices for ourselves and our life purpose. We are all basically striving to live up to our own standards and shouldn't judge another's path. I am a Star Trek New Generation fan. A character named Data is an android but has self awareness and wants to be more human. He is talking to a humanoid being who is upset because he isn't in control of his emotions which is not a good thing in his culture... anyway Data tells him, "It is in your disgrace that you are everything I strive to be." Always be grateful for who you are and where you are on your journey. See visualizations.
