I LOVE THIS

THIS IS TRUE FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING I'VE CREATED. IT'S ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF PERSONAL HEART, LOVE OR PAIN PUT IN IT.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL THINGS I HAVE EVER LEARNT/SEEN.

YEARS AGO I HEARD A THEORY ABOUT WATER AND HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH ALSO INSPIRED A PERSONAL TATTOO WITH THE WORDS PEACE & LOVE.

DR MASARU EMOTO DID A STUDY ON WATER THAT WAS EXPOSED TO NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE IMAGES, WORDS AND MUSIC AND THEN PHOTOGRAPHED IT DURING THE PROCESS OF THE WATER FORMING INTO CRYSTALS.
THE RESULTS WERE TRULY REMARKABLE, ESPECIALLY THE UNDENIABLE DIFFERENT REACTIONS THAT THE WATER HAD TO THE POSITIVE ITEMS AS OPPOSED TO THE NEGATIVES.


AS BEST DESCRIBED HERE;

Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama, Japan in July 1943 and a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University's department of humanities and sciences with a focus on International Relations. In 1986 he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo. In October of 1992 he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water.

He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher, but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature through. He has gained worldwide acclaim through his groundbreaking research and discovery that water is deeply connected to our individual and collective consciousness.

He is the author of the best-selling books Messages from Water, The Hidden Messages in Water, and The True Power of Water. He is a long-time advocate for peace in relation to water. He is currently the head of the I.H.M.General Research Institute and President Emeritus of the International Water for Life Foundation, a Not for Profit Organization.

Mr. Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities.

Some examples from his works include:

Water from clear mountain springs and streams had beautifully formed crystalline structures, while the crystals of polluted or stagnant water were deformed and distorted.

Distilled water exposed to classical music took delicate, symmetrical crystalline shapes.

When the words "thank you" were taped to a bottle of distilled water, the frozen crystals had a similar shape to the crystals formed by water that had been exposed to Bach's "Goldberg Variations"- music composed out of gratitude to the man it was named for.

When water samples were bombarded with heavy metal music or labeled with negative words, or when negative thoughts and emotions were focused intentionally upon them, such as "Adolf Hitler", the water did not form crystals at all and displayed chaotic, fragmented structures.

When water was treated with aromatic floral oils, the water crystals tended to mimic the shape of the original flower.

Sometimes, when we cannot see the immediate results of our affirmations and or prayers, we think we have failed. But, as we learn through Masaru Emoto's photographs, that thought of failure itself becomes represented in the physical objects that surround us. Now that we have seen this, perhaps we can begin to realize that even when immediate results are invisible to the unaided human eye, they are still there. When we love our own bodies, they respond. When we send our love to the Earth, she responds.

For our own bodies at birth are more than 60 percent water, and the percentage of water in our bodies remains high throughout life (depending upon weight and body type). The earth's surface is more than 60 percent water as well. And now we have seen before our eyes that water is far from inanimate, but is actually alive and responsive to our every thought and emotion. Perhaps, having seen this, we can begin to really understand the awesome power that we possess, through choosing our thoughts and intentions, to heal ourselves and the earth. If only we believe.

Whether you participate in global meditations, or simply do this inner work in the quiet of your own loving mind and heart -- we can heal the body of our earth and recreate a clear, pristine world to hand down to our children for seven generations.


WHEN YOU THINK THAT WE HUMANS ARE MADE UP OF 60% OF WATER- IMAGINE HOW TOXIC ALL THE NEGATIVE RUBBISH THAT INVADES OUR MINDS  IS FOR US.

THERE HAVE BEEN LOADS ON STUDIES OF THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT AND HOW DISEASES ARE LINKED TO THINGS LIKE STRESS, RESENTMENT AND BUILT UP ANGER.

LOUISE L. HAY IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AUTHORS ON THE TOPICS OF WELL BEING AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH, AND SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO SAY THAT ILLNESSES AND DISEASES LIKE CANCER CAN BE CURED WITH THE MIND.

EVERY EXTERNAL EXPERIENCE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR INTERNAL THOUGHTS.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT ALL THE TIME? IS IT POSITIVE? DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIGHT AND HAPPY? OR IS IT NEGATIVE AND DOES YOUR BODY FEEL TENSE, SORE, STRESSED AND TIRED?

NOTICE HOW YOUR BODY REACTS TO YOUR THOUGHTS- AND BE MINDFUL OF CHANGING THEM TO BETTER YOUR EXPERIENCES.

THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD CLIPS ON YOUTUBE WITH FOOTAGE OF DR EMOTO'S FINDINGS.

PERIPHESCENCE

HAS ANYBODY HEARD OF THE STATE OF PERIPHESCENCE?
MOST LIKELY NOT. BUT I BET THAT EVERY ONE OF US HAS EXPERIENCED IT.


"The state of periphescence, however, is well known. It denotes the first fever of human pair bonding. It causes giddiness, elation, a tickling on the chest wall, the urge to climb a balcony on a rope of the beloved’s hair."
JEFFREY EUGENIDES- MIDDLESEX


YUM.



YOU.


YOU KEEP THE LIGHTS ON WHEN THE CANDLES ARE LIT
YOU PRACTICE THANKFULNESS BUT DON'T FORGIVE
YOU SAY THAT YOU CARE BUT YOU DON'T SHOW IT
ASK ALL OF THE PEOPLE YOU'VE LOVED- THEY KNOW IT
YOU WISH TO BE WILD BUT FEAR THE UNKNOWN
YOU ARE QUICK TO RUN WHEN YOUR FEELINGS ARE SHOWN
YOU LOVE TO DREAM BUT NEVER SHUT YOUR EYES
THERES NOTHING YOU DREAD MORE THAN A SUPRISE
YOU PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE WORLD OF HURT
THE NAGGING, THE NEEDING JUST TEAR AT YOUR SHIRT
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SAY WHEN SILENCE HAS SPOKEN
DID ANYONE KNOW IT WAS YOUR HEART THAT WAS BROKEN?
COULD YOU SURRENDER YOURSELF TO SOMEONE NEW?
WHEN LOVES SUCCESSES HAVE BEEN SO FEW
I HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO TEARS YOU IN TWO
AND HELPS YOU TO DISCOVER THE BEST PART OF YOU.







VINO TINTO, SANDRA CISNEROS

DARK WINE REMINDS ME OF YOU.
THE BURGUNDIES AND CABERNETS.THE TANG AND THRUM AND HISS
THAT SPIRAL LIKE EGYPTIAN SILK,
BLOOD BIT FROM A LIP, BLACK SMOKE FROM A CIGARETTE
NIGHTS THAT SWELL LIKE A CORK.
THIS NIGHT. A THOUSAND.
UNDER A SINGLE LAMPLIGHT.
IN PUBLIC OR ALONE.
VERY LATE OR VERY EARLY.
WHEN I WRITE POEMS.


SOMETHING OF YOU STILL TAUT
STILL TUGS, STILL PULLS
A ROPE THAT TREMBLED 
HUMMED BETWEEN US.
HUMMED, LOVE, DIDNT IT.


LOVE, HOW IT HUMMED.





TAO LIN

If you haven't heard of Tao Lin by now, then you obviously don't/can't read. 
He's a bit of a New York phenomenon and many a blogger/journalist/writer has tried to decipher not only his writing style, but who he actually is as an individual.


He's probably become one of my favourite authors of our seedy little generation of writers. Mainly because I seriously can't figure him out and also because he writes these simple one liners that jab me in the heart so quick and fast that I get temporarily breathless.


One line in particular;


"I want to hold your face with my face like a hand"


How good is that sentence? You have to stop and picture it in your head, and once I had the image, I could definitely relate to wanting to rest faces with a lover.


That's the wicked beauty of Tao Lin's writing, it often makes sense to your heart first and then your mind follows.


He's the author of a few little paperbacks, the better known being 'Shoplifting from American Apparel', 'Richard Yates' and 'Bed'.


Here is some of Tao's poetry and if you want to get more acquainted with his writing then I recommend buying his books from amazon.





the secret of life is decisiveness
and to describe something
i see the distance and move immediately into it
now i am really alone
from here i know these things: that a hamster is a lonely fist
that my poems exist to dispel irrational angers, that i want to hold your face
with my face
like a hand
the secret of life is that i miss you, and this describes life
tonight my heart feels shiny and calm as a soft wet star
i describe it from a distance, then move quickly away
- from cognitive-behavioral therapy by Tao Lin

i will learn how to love a person and then i will teach you and then we will know

seen from a great enough distance i cannot be seen
i feel this as an extremely distinct sensation
of feeling like shit; the effect of small children
is that they use declarative sentences and then look at your face
with an expression that says, ‘you will never do enough
for the people you love’; i can feel the universe expanding
and it feels like no one is trying hard enough
the effect of this is an extremely shitty sensation
of being the only person alive; i have been alone for a very long time
it will take an extreme person to make me feel less alone
the effect of being alone for a very long time
is that i have been thinking very hard and learning
about mortality, loneliness, people, society, and love; i am afraid
that i am not learning fast enough; i can feel the universe expanding
and it feels like no one has ever tried hard enough; when i cried in your room
it was the effect of an extremely distinct sensation that ‘i am the only person
alive,’ ‘i have not learned enough,’ and ‘i can feel the universe expanding
and making things be further apart
and it feels like a declarative sentence
whose message is that we must try harder’

- from cognitive-behavioral therapy by Tao Lin

SOMETIMES/LATELY



So much has been going on lately and there have been loads of photos taken on my sexy new camera that my gorgeous honey's gifted me for my 25th, which I have shared for you all to see.
I have a major case of camera A.D.D and am snapping every single thing we do, which I'm sure is starting to get pretty annoying (sorry guys!).
The birthday month has been a dream, and I felt so lucky to have such amazing, caring and loving friends around to share my quarter century celebrations with.
Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun and giving me a birthday I will truly never forget (for some reasons which will go to the grave)
On the other hand, there's been a few little births of some major cuties lately! And also sadly, a feeling of loss for a sad passing.
But life goes on and living is a gift that I feel grateful for and with a positive attitude and an optimism for all the good things the world has to offer I'm sure that 2012 will turn out ah-mah-zing.

More to come xx
