The Spirit of Ma’at interviews Dr. Masaru Emoto
by Reiko Myamoto Dewey
REIKO: We have read your book The Message from Water, and we introduced it on our website in our August issue (see “Conscious Water Crystals: The Power of Prayer Made Visible”). It has been our most popular article, with its readership increasing every week, and has raised many questions.
You mentioned in your book how you would type out words on a piece of paper and paste these written words onto a bottle, and see how the water reacted to the words — what kind of crystals were formed from the words. From your research, are you able to discern whether the reaction of the water came from the vibration of the actual words that were pasted onto the bottles, or whether the intention of the person who was pasting the words onto the bottle influenced the experiment in any way?

DR. EMOTO: This is one of the more difficult areas to clarify. However, from continuing these experiments we have come to the conclusion that the water is reacting to the actual words. For example, for our trip to Europe we tried using the words “thank you” and “you fool” in German. The people on our team who took the actual photographs of the water crystals did not understand the German for “you fool”, and yet we were able to obtain exactly the same kind of results in the different crystal formations based on the words used.

REIKO: Have you found that distance made any difference when people were praying over water? For example, if people in Japan were to pray over water in Russia, would this be different from people praying over water that is right in front of them?

DR. EMOTO: We have only experimented once with that in the book. But from that experiment, distance did not seem to matter. The intention and prayers of the person still influenced the water. We have not yet tried further experiments from a long distance. However, my feeling is that distance would not make much of a difference. What would make a difference is the purity of intent of the person doing the praying. The higher the purity of intent, the less of a difference the distance itself would make.

REIKO: Have you seen any difference between one person praying over water versus a whole group of people praying over water?

DR. EMOTO: Since the water reflects the composite energy of what is being sent to it, the crystalline structure reflects the composite vibrations of the group. So one person praying reflects the energy or intention of that one person. In terms of how powerful the effect can be, if you have one person praying with a deep sense of clarity and purity, the crystalline structure will be clear and pure. And even though you may have a large group of people, if their intention as a group is not cohesive, you end up with an incohesive structure in the water. However, if everyone is united together, you will find a clear, beautiful crystal, like one created by the prayer of a single person of deep purity.
In one of our experiments, we had some water on a table, and 17 participants all stood in a circle around a table holding hands. Then each of the participants spoke a beautiful word of their choice to the water. Words like unity, love, and friendship. We took before-and-after shots and were able to obtain some beautiful crystalline structures as a result of this. I have some slides that I will be showing of these crystals in my upcoming European tour.

REIKO: Is the water influenced immediately, or is there a time lag?

DR. EMOTO: In these cases we would freeze the water right away, so we could say that the water is changed instantaneously.

REIKO: Have you ever tested other human body fluids, such as saliva, blood, urine etc?

DR. EMOTO: Yes, we certainly have. However, fluids with other elements in them, like seawater, blood and urine, do not form crystals. However, we can dilute them with distilled water to something like 10 to the power of -12 or -20 or so. This dilutes the component of other elements in the fluid to the point where we can freeze the sample and obtain crystals.

REIKO: Could you then see the effect that energetic healing or prayer has on a person by looking at the crystals formed by their blood or urine?

DR. EMOTO: As far as experiments related to the human body are concerned, there are a lot of subtle influences that also need to be taken into consideration. So although we are looking at this, we have not publicized any information yet. However, you can look forward to hearing about our findings on this in the future.

REIKO: If we could imbue water with the energy of various words, for example, with the word, “health”, could we then use the water that has that vibration in it and use it to do things like grow food, water plants, etc?

DR. EMOTO: We have not tried this, but some people who have read the book are experimenting with bottling tap water and taping words like “love” and “appreciation” on the bottle and using that water to water their plants, or to put cut flowers in. They are finding that their cut flowers are lasting much longer, and that the plants in the garden are much more radiant.

REIKO: Once a certain vibration is introduced to the water, how long does the water “remember” that crystalline structure?

DR. EMOTO: This will be different depending on the original structure of the water itself. Tap water will lose its memory quickly. We refer to the crystalline structure of water as “clusters.” The smaller the clusters, the longer the water will retain its memory. If there is too much space between the clusters, other information could easily infiltrate this space, making it hard for the clusters to hold the integrity of the information. Other micro-organisms could also enter this space. A tight bonding structure is best for maintaining the integrity of information.

REIKO: What kind of words would create smaller clusters and what kind of words would create larger clusters?

DR. EMOTO: Slang words like “you fool” destroy clusters. You would not see any crystals in these cases. Negative phrases and words create large clusters or will not form clusters, and positive, beautiful words and phrases create small, tight clusters.

REIKO: You say that some negatives do not form clusters, but we see from your photos that they do still form characteristic patterns. How would you classify these patterns?

DR. EMOTO: Think of it in terms of vibration. It’s easy to understand that language — the spoken word — has a vibration. Well, written words also have a vibration. Anything in existence has a vibration. If I were to draw a circle, the vibration of a circle would be created. Drawing a cross would create the vibration of a cross. So if I write the letters L O V E, then these letters put out the vibration of love. Water can be imprinted with these vibrations. Beautiful words have beautiful, clear vibrations. But negative words put out ugly, incoherent vibrations which do not form clusters. Language is not something artificial, but rather is something that exists naturally. I believe that language is created by nature.

REIKO: Does that mean that every word has its own signature vibration or cluster that is unique to itself?
Achieve greater hydration, better nutrient intake and toxin elimination. Read about the Precious Prills and ADR water structuring devices that have received such high praise.

DR. EMOTO: Yes. During our evolution, we learned what sounds were dangerous, what sounds were soothing and safe, and what sounds were pleasurable, and so on. We slowly learned about various vibrations of the laws of nature. We learned this through instinct and through experience. We accumulated this information over time. We started out with some simple sounds like “a” or “u” or “e,” which evolved into more complex sounds like “love.” And these positive words create “natural” crystalline structures — which are all based on the hexagon.
In fact, the structure of all evolution in nature, from an informational perspective, is based on the hexagon. The reason hexagons are formed has to do with the chemical reaction of the benzene ring. I believe that anything that lacks this basic hexagonal structure is out of accord with the laws of nature and holds a destructive vibration. So when we look at things that do not exist naturally — things that have been created artificially — many of them lack this hexagonal structure and so they have, I believe, a destructive vibration.
This principle is what I think makes swearing and slang words destructive. These words are not in accordance with the laws of nature. So, for example, I think you would probably find higher rates of violent crime in areas where a lot of negative language is being used. Just as the Bible says, first there was the Word, and God created all of Creation from the Word.
So words actually convert the vibrations of nature into sound. And each language is different. Japanese has its own set of vibrations that differs from American. Nature in America is different from nature in Japan. An American cedar is different from a Japanese cedar, so the vibrations coming from these words are different. In this way, nothing else holds the same vibrations as the word arigato. In Japanese, arigato means “thank you.” But even when there is this mutual underlying meaning, arigato and thank you create different crystalline structures. Every word in every language is unique and exists only in that language.

REIKO: Have you come across a particular word or phrase in your research that you have found to be most helpful in cleaning up the natural waters of the world?

DR. EMOTO: Yes. There is a special combination that seems to be perfect for this, which is love plus the combination of thanks and appreciation reflected in the English word gratitude. Just one of these is not enough. Love needs to be based in gratitude, and gratitude needs to be based in love. These two words together create the most important vibration. And it is even more important that we understand the value of these words. For example, we know that water is described as H2O. If we were to look at love and gratitude as a pair, gratitude is the H and love is the O. Water is the basis that not only supports but also allows the existence of life. In my understanding of the concept of yin and yang, in the same way that there is one O and two Hs, we also need one part yang/love to two parts yin/gratitude, in order to come to a place of balance in the equation.
Love is an active word and gratitude is passive. When you think of gratitude — a combination of appreciation and thankfulness — there is an apologetic quality. The Japanese word for gratitude is kan-sha, consisting of two Chinese characters: kan, which means feeling, and sha, apology. It’s coming from a reverential space, taking a step or two back. I believe that love coming from this space is optimal love, and may even lead to an end to the wars and conflicts in the world. Kan-sha is inherent in the substance H2O — an essential element for life.

REIKO: So if we were to develop a car that could run on water instead of gasoline, and return the water to the atmosphere and subsequently back into space in this way, would that be one way of fulfilling our task?

DR. EMOTO: I think that would be a wonderful thing, and for the sake of preserving Mother Nature it is the direction that we need to go. However, since water is the mirror reflecting our level of consciousness, a large percentage of the people on the planet, at least 10 percent of the people, need to have the love and the kan-sha awareness. When they do, then the time will come when water can be used to replace gasoline. And the reason I say 10 percent is that this ratio is mirrored in nature. When we look at the world of bacteria, for example, there are 10 percent good bacteria, 10 percent bad, and a majority of 80 percent opportunistic bacteria that could go either way. In looking at the various environmental issues we are faced with, and the tasks that we need to fulfill for the planet, if we could get more than 10 percent of the people consciously aware, than I believe we could pull the 80 percent in that direction, too.
And so I believe that the people who are following a spiritual path are promoting peace for the planet and for other people. If we could only unite on this level of consciousness, then we will be there.
I feel that my book The Message From Water has given birth to a convincing message through a common language for the whole world. Not because I wrote it, but because I know it was birthed through kan-sha toward mankind. I think this is why so many people from other countries want to interview me about the book. I am being invited to give talks at six different European locations. Things have been coming in non-stop from abroad.

REIKO: Do you believe that water itself is conscious and is reacting to the words?

DR. EMOTO: I understand that many of your readers are people interested in spiritual matters, and I would like to answer this question from that perspective. I believe that prior to Adam and Eve water itself held the consciousness of God — that God’s intention was put into the medium of water, and that this was used in the creation of Earth and Nature. In other words, all of the information needed for God’s Creation was reflected in the water.
And then we — Adam and Eve — were placed on Earth to be the caretakers for this Creation of God. I believe that water held the consciousness of God until then, but that after the caretakers were placed on Earth, water became an empty vessel to mirror and reflect what was in the heart. It became a container to carry energy and information. Therefore, since this time, I think water has taken on the quality of simply reflecting the energies and thoughts that it is exposed to; that it no longer has its own consciousness. Water reflects the consciousness of the human race.

REIKO: Would you tell us your philosophical thoughts about what you believe these water crystals really are?

DR. EMOTO: After the book was published, I was wondering about this, and I came to the realization that these crystals are spirits. There are many parallels. When ice melts, the crystalline structure becomes an illusion. It’s there — and yet it’s not there, because you can no longer see it.
Similarly, when a person dies their body loses several grams of weight — what some people think of this as the weight of the soul. But then we can often visually see them. I think that the soul has mass, and that it returns to water molecules. And because it has mass, it is affected by the gravitational pull of the earth. And so sometimes the soul cannot transition over to the other side.
In Buddhism, we talk about attaining sattori, or reaching enlightenment. People who attain sattori do not become ghosts. They are able to achieve a certain stage of development at the soul level and return to God for a while before they move on to their next assignment.
We traveled here to Earth on the water crystals of spheres of ice [Editor's Note: You will hear more about this amazing phenomenon in an upcoming issue of the Spirit of Ma'at on the subject of water.] Earth is not our native home. There was nothing here. So these souls can return to their native homes for awhile. That is sattori, or enlightenment. However, most people on the planet are not able to attain enlightenment. To reach enlightenment means to be able to completely let go of the ego and our worldly attachments.
In the past 100 years the world’s population has increased from 1 billion to 6 billion. During these 100 years, war and capitalism has dominated the planet. Rather than being able to detach from our desires, the opposite has been true. Our desires have grown and grown. Very few people have been able to attain enlightenment in this environment. Few souls have been able to go “home” and I believe they have remained on Earth in the form of water. This connects into the concept of reincarnation, where these spirits keep falling back to Earth and need to redo their lives here.

REIKO: So when a person dies, if they are unable to attain sattori at that time, their soul remains on this planet as water?

DR. EMOTO: That is what I believe, yes. The Japanese character for spirit is a combination of the words “rain” and “soul.” People who have seen ghosts report seeing them in water or in places where there is a lot of humidity. It’s as if the imprint of the soul, which is in the form of water, suddenly takes form when surrounded by water or moisture — much like a mirage.
And so, looking at the pictures of the water crystals and the impact they are having, I came to the realization that these themselves are ghosts. Up until now, I had thought of ghosts as something to be frightened of, something that we could do nothing about. But watching these crystals, I realized that by simply projecting beautiful music and words onto them, the crystals or ghosts become beautiful. If that’s the case, there’s nothing to be frightened of. We need to let everybody know about this, and all use beautiful words and offer beautiful music, and create beauty in the environment.
By receiving beautiful thoughts and feelings and words and music, our ancestral spirits get lighter and are now able to make the transition “home.” When we consider this, we can see the importance of traditions like Obon [a Japanese summer tradition where ancestral spirits are invited back to spend time with the family, and the ancestors are taken care of and respected].
When we are alive, the human body is at approximately 36 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature of the fluids in the body. When we die, this goes to zero degrees Celsius. When we die and go to the other side, crossing the river, we are no longer able to move our bodies. But the crystalline structure of our soul emerges. It’s like water. When water turns to ice, the crystalline structure becomes visible, but it also becomes immobile. So “crystal” equals “spirit.”

REIKO: Thank you very much.

The Spirit Of Ma’at Interviews Dr. Masaru Emoto

A Hug for Your Heart

May 22nd, 2009

Enjoy the magic of your sweet heart today. See your good intentions, your care for others and appreciate the path you find yourself on today. Simply by your commitment to live a peaceful and honoring life you make a difference in the world. Notice how you intend to love all beings that cross your path. Take a moment and feel this kindness in you.

You matter and you are a miracle.

There is a miraculous phenomenon that is often overlooked. It is always there, forever close, open-hearted and longing for you to show up. It is eager to give you everything you need and all that you long for patiently waiting. It takes commitment and perseverance to open your heart to the knowing of it. It requires a deliberate use of your will power to become aware of it. It may take more than one try. Where is it? Are you ready? Take a few moments and look directly and presently into the mirror. Not just at the image you see, but deep into the eyes and the energy beholding you. There is a depth of love that has been waiting for you to come forth. The trick is being still enough to feel it, and then receive it. The very clever are able to do this simply by putting their attention inward toward their core, or heart, and trusting. The flow begins the moment presence is realized - one need only allow it into their consciousness to have a new and very dear friend. This friend will never leave you, never betray you, and never judge you for your mistakes. Quite the contrary, this friend will remind you of your preciousness when you feel alone and will speak louder with each connection. You must ask for this companion, you must open the door to this meeting. You are solely responsible for allowing this miracle into your life.

Once this flow of love begins moving from the inside life changes and peace moves into your world from source. The only requirement is to begin. You must commit to yourself, believe in your goodness and open your heart to the whispers of your higher self. Every drop of effort is valuable. Practice with good intention and it will move you closer to this magic. You are reliable - you can do this. Beckon this great master of your heart and you will find the dear friend and companion you have been longing for.

Peace In Peace Out®

Much love to you,
holly

It’s Your Ship

May 18th, 2009

You wanted to come into this reality so you could experience the amazing feelings of being human. A spirit stays pretty neutral all the time so they are ecstatic to get a spot here on earth. Spirit knows this isn’t the real gig. They know it is just an illusion that invites us to reach for being source.

Earth is the most exciting place to be in the universe. You can have drama, pain, joy to the max, and do it all in the presence of the majestic trees, birds, and glass water to fish, wake board, or ski on. You did it. You arrived. You are amazing. Enjoy your creations and realize you are at the helm of the ship you find yourself on. You are the wave rider… some waves go up and some go down. Get good at hanging ten no matter what situation you find yourself in. Remember you wanted some drama; you wanted some contrast so you could find out who you are. You set it all up to FEEL and discover!!!

One more thing to remember; any situation you find yourself in, isn’t you. You are bigger than what ever you are experiencing. Keep moving toward your dream. Decide what you want to feel, what you want to experience in life, taste it, imagine it, roll it around in your mind and heart often. If you keep putting attention on what you long for you will find you move more toward creating the circumstances that create it.

Know you are loved no matter which direction you ship travels, no matter who’s on it with you, and regardless of where you find yourself right now. We just want you to remember it’s your ship.

Peace in peace out®,
Masen and Holly

Brush the Dust Off Your Dreams!

April 8th, 2009

Hey you guys… don’t give up on what you want. You deserve to have it… you can have it… and it isn’t as hard as you may have decided somewhere along the line…All you need to do is wake up your will… exercise that muscle a bit… and get your attention out of those life long obstacles, and redirect it back into your dream. Re- decide…. Decide that you can instead of deciding that you can’t. Have you gotten tired of repeating a pattern? Have you noticed you are too busy trying to keep things balanced to enjoy your journey? Do you find your fellow humans more trouble than fun? Do you find yourself wondering what your purpose is?

What is happening to your dreams? Where is your attention? Where does your attention come from? Who is in charge of where your attention goes? YOU YOU YOU!!! You are the driver of the bus you find yourself on.

Would you like to find your self committing random acts of kindness to yourself and others. Would you like to smile, genuinely, at others and feel compassion for their creations in life? Would you like to take some time to be appreciative of yourself and the life you have created? Would you like to have more fun?

Simply take the time to brush the dust off of your dreams… look and see what you want, what you have, and what is really important to you.

Be aware…. let yourself dream again!

Imagination is everything; it is the preview of life’s coming attractions
-Albert Einstein

Peace in, Peace out®!

Peace in relationships

April 6th, 2009

One source of conflict, especially in relationships, comes from blaming the other person for making us feel a certain way. We point a finger accusingly and say something like, “you really make me angry” or “you are really upsetting me”. In a way it’s satisfying because we’ve identified the cause of the upset we’re having. It’s THEM! The problem is, to “fix” this problem we now have to either get the other person to behave differently or we have to avoid them altogether.

Neither of these solutions works very well. No matter how good we think we may be at getting our way, manipulating people, convincing or coercing them, ultimately we have no control over what they do. They may seem to go along with our program for a time, but eventually they will get tired of it and stop behaving the way we want them to. Avoiding them usually isn’t a viable solution either, especially if this person is a loved-one or family member who we don’t want to eliminate from our lives.

So, what is the way out? Three simple little words in the form of a question: “What’s MY part?”. At the heart of every conflict we have with other people is a simple denial of our own part, or responsibility, in the matter. What’s beautiful about this question is that there is no reference to the other person in it at all. They may have been a jerk in the situation or they may have been a saint in disguise and you were just misinterpreting their saintliness. It doesn’t matter because you don’t have any control over them anyway. The only thing you have any control over is your own behavior. “What’s my part” frees you to focus on the part of the equation that you can change.

For example, the other day I got upset with my wife because she said she told me something that I didn’t believe she had told me. This is a classic source of conflict for us. While part of me really doesn’t want to admit it, if I ask “what’s my part”, clarity starts to come. If I’m honest, I have to own up to the fact that I have forgotten things she’s told me in the past. When I look at it that way, it’s not surprising that she might get upset with me if she believes she told me something recently which I don’t recall. Understanding and compassion flow in. My upset begins to dissolve.

It can be difficult to coax ourselves into asking this little question. It can feel like a more powerful position to take when we righteously proclaim how the other person has wronged us. WE were the victim and we DESERVE to be compensated. It takes a measure of vulnerability to admit that we played a part in the situation. It can be embarrassing to admit. In the moment it can really seem like the wrong direction to go in. But the minute we do it, a funny thing happens. It actually feels BETTER! It feels empowering. Asking this question and acknowledging your answer to it puts you back in the driver’s seat. Instead of being out of control and at the effect of this other person, we suddenly see what WE were doing which opens up all kinds of possibilities for how we could do things differently and get a different result.

It also has a tendency to eliminate the conflict and create harmony in the relationship. The other person in many cases will respond with an acknowledgement of their part, but even if they don’t, YOU now have a way to be different. Try it. The next time you are upset with a friend, partner, spouse or family member, try asking yourself this little question and see what happens.

Peace in, Peace out®,
Masen

Looking for joy?

March 31st, 2009

We keep thinking joy is coming from somewhere outside of us, something we need to finish, something we need to have, or even someone we need to be with. Joy is here now ever present and ready to move through us. How? We need to open our hearts to the flow of it. Not scramble to hang on to it, more like letting it in and then letting it out. Allow it to move right through. That is what brings a smile to our hearts!!!

Being able to receive is the first task. Allow goodness into your body, your mind, and your soul. It is everywhere! Receive from the air, the trees, clouds, and the song of the bird. It all speaks to us moment by moment encouraging us to feel (let in) the whispers of harmony and joy. Joy of simply being here now in this moment. Joy in being open, inclusive, allowing, trusting, and present. Breathe this in and what comes out of you is God-ness. In turn you breath out this energy and it touches every soul you interact with, every person you drive down the road with, and all the people you meet throughout your day.

Open your thoughts today to include the current all around you, let it move through you, give it away and feel the joy that comes from letting it all go. Trust this flow to move you forward in harmony with all that is and it will do just that!

xo
holly

p.s. While you are at it, why not forgive everyone for everything. Self included. YUM! Forgiveness in, forgiveness out. Peace in Peace out®.

The Universe: Physical or Metaphysical?

March 3rd, 2009

A friend recently questioned the premise of Be Aware Clothing. “It’s just more of that metaphysical crap, isn’t it?” Here’s my response…

Go take a look at the research. http://www.hado.net/watercrystals/photographs.php. It’s not that big of a leap, really, after all the quantum physics experiments which have shown that the observer literally CHANGES what is observed by the simple act of observing it (http://www.truveo.com/Quantum-Weirdness-What-the-BLEEP-Do-We-Know/id/3259712820). And a person need not even be present, simply photographing electrons is enough to cause them to change their properties from wave-like to particle-like. Isn’t that truly amazing? It’s like electrons in their natural state are just meandering potential (waves) but when we put attention on them they solidify slightly and behave like particles. Perhaps the universe, at it’s most fundamental level, is actually more metaphysical than it is physical.

Peace in peace out®,

Do You Know What Peace Feels Like?

February 17th, 2009

Maharishi Prem Rawat says, “Peace inside is the perfume of God. When you smell it, you are close to God.”

Do you ever take a moment and simply feel what peace feels like to you. What does it feel like inside your body and your mind? Harmony, acceptance, understanding, allowing, maybe love? A peaceful mind and a peaceful heart equal a peaceful world. We keep looking for peace to happen outside of us without taking full responsibility for creating it inside of us. I don’t mean creating peace once, I mean with each opportunity that lands in our lap. The best place for each of us to make any kind of difference is the one and only place we have dominion over - right here inside the shoes we are wearing! What does it take to have peace with your children, your parents, your friends, your animals, your neighborhood bank clerk, your grocery clerk, how about peace with opposing opinions or viewpoints, and peace with everyone you speak to on the phone each day. What would that feel like and what would your life look like if you lived with that intention?

What if peace in the world comes from you having it inside? Here is a project worth investing in; forgive everyone for anything that ever offended you. Forgiveness moves resentment out of your life and allows space for balance, harmony, and health.

Understanding, allowing, and accepting that all humans have a right to any opinion they choose makes for a peaceful interaction with the world. There is no fight for rightness and no effort to make anyone wrong. There is not one precious moment spent looking for who to blame. You come to realize how resisting anything is a waste of life. You awaken to new possibility and see that what is happening right now is exactly what needs to be happening for all of us to move to our next moment. You begin to trust and appreciate reality as you experience it. You become aware of how resisting and pushing against something creates a lack of peace all around you, including inside your body. You see great value in taking responsibility for any propensity to judge people or make them wrong. You realize any habit you may have of noticing inadequacy in others adds to the energy of war in the world.

“Holding a grudge and not forgiving someone is like taking poison and waiting for someone else to die!”
-Christina Northrup

When you allow what is to be what it is… you have a surplus of attention and energy to move toward care and compassion for all sentient beings. Solutions to problems naturally reveal themselves in the quiet of your mind. You are then able to use your life and the circumstances you find yourself in as fodder to become more who you are meant to be. You become more skilled in managing your attention and as each day comes to a close you notice how you have moved even more into peace with life. This is a tremendous gift to your health and the harmony on the planet. Everyone around you will feel your balance. You become the perfume of God.

Whether people share your faith, your viewpoints, or your political beliefs should not affect your peace of mind. Allowing everyone to be where they are and respecting the many viewpoints that exist in the world will open doors and invite humanity into a connection that heals much more than we are now aware of. This practice is a gift to the future inhabitants of our planet. This is the door we must walk through individually to create a global healing. Trusting the process we are now undertaking as a world, including all the peaks and valleys, brings us to a series of moments well equipped to contribute. We will embrace one another in friendship and realize that if one suffers, we all suffer.

Peace in leads to peace out.

We each have a profound gift to offer the world with our promise to manage ourselves and our lives from the stillness and quiet of a mind at peace. We are all responsible for where we find our selves globally.

in love,
holly

Welcome!

February 6th, 2009

Welcome to the Be Aware Clothing blog. Stop by for a little inspiration, education, philosophy and humor!

Thought for the day. Many of us were taught that weakness was bad and that we shouldn’t be weak, or at least we shouldn’t show it if we are. In actuality, weakness is what truly connects us to each other and opens us to support from the universe. After all, if we are walking around pretending that we have it all together, how is anyone, including the universe, going to help us along?

Love,
Masen
