With a full calendar and feeling as if I have so much to do before my time off, the last thing I wanted to do was drive to San Diego. I procrastinated and thought about canceling on my friend, Rosa but my "upside" won out. Driving over to Starbucks to pick her up, I thought about all of the things I could and should be doing. After all, if you want something done, you should give it to a busy person, right? We drove for about 1 1/2 hours, stopped for gas, found a hole-in-the-wall sub shop and ate before arriving at the Learning Annex for Dr. Emoto's presentation on "The Healing Power of Water." I use Dr. Emoto's research in my Upside Thinking work. However, being in the presence of someone who is masterful at their work and willing to share with the world took my breath away. After listening to him speak (130 slides worth), I felt as if I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

Since are bodies consist of mostly water (70%), we are always surrounded by water through our friends, co-workers and family members and the earth's surface is 70% water, all water is precious. Dr. Emoto demonstrated how playing music and showing words and images changed the molecular strucure to water by using examples from his research. The most powerful image was that of "love and thanks". Having an attitude of grattitude with others and ourselves can be life-changing and Dr. Emoto explains why. While I was familiar with his work, his passion and enthusiasm made me want to learn more. His mission is to educate and raise the consciousness of all people about the power and potential of water to effect life on the planet earth.
