messages to water bottle covers + bags infuse water with positive messages and vibration.

Water is life, active and vital, human beings are 75% water. Water is one of the finest conductors of currents and vibrations.
We believe water has a memory and can retain information as has been proven by Homeopathic Medicine.

“messages to water” infuses water with positive messages and positive vibrations, harnessing the duality of our classical and quantum universe.

Our unique products were designed specifically to apply quantum mechanics in action. Subatomic particles only behave in a quantum way “superposition” when unobserved by the observer.
When observed, subatomic particles behave the way the observer expects. “fixed position” classical physics.

When a bottle of water is placed inside one of our water bottle bags or covers, the message, or “intention” will be absorbed by the water and the wearer.

The messages are absorbed on the inside in a quantum way “unobserved by the observer” and on the outside, the messages are filtered through the subconscious by repetitive viewing imprinting them on the subconscious, which eventually becomes part of conscious thought.

Along with our ten word mantra, on the inside, there is a plastic pocket for you to place any message of your choice.
Positive affirmations have been known for centuries to bring positive change.
Improvements in outlook, well-being, health, and happiness can be attributed to positive thinking.
“messages to water” can lift your spirit and outlook.

Happy drinking – Messagestowater.

MOLECULES OF EMOTION

Candace Pert

Pert, Candace Beebe (1946- ), American neuroscientist and pharmacologist best known for her discovery of opiate receptors in the brain. A receptor is a molecule with an electrically active indentation into which a molecule with a matching shape will fit. Receptors come in many different shapes that fit only molecules of particular substances. For example, opium will bind only to opiate receptors. Receptors play an important role in the body since some substances will not act in the body until they attach to their corresponding receptor.

Pert's discovery of opiate receptors in the early 1970s raised the question of why receptors exist for opiates, substances that don't naturally occur in the body. The British pharmacologist John Hughes and the German-born Scottish pharmacologist Hans Kosterlitz later discovered that the body contains compounds similar to opium. They called these substances endorphins, short for endogenous morphinelike compounds. The receptors that opium and similar drugs bind to are actually endorphin receptors.

Pert was born Candace Beebe in New York City. She studied at Hofstra University where she met Agu Pert, a graduate student. They married in 1966 and Candace left school. Soon after, the couple moved to Philadelphia. She returned to college at Bryn Mawr University and in 1970 earned a B.A. in biology. When her husband was sent to Maryland to fulfill a military obligation, Pert went with him, enrolling at Johns Hopkins University Medical School. There she studied pharmacology with the American psychiatrist and pharmacologist Solomon Snyder. At first she performed research on neurotransmitters, chemicals that instruct other neurons in the body to turn off and on. She then began the search for opiate receptors, which had been started in 1971 by the American pharmacologist and neuroscientist Avram Goldstein at Stanford University. She eventually published her findings, with Snyder as coauthor, in Science in 1973. In 1978 Solomon, Hughes, and Kosterlitz won the Lasker Award, a prestigious award for medical research, for discoveries related to opiate receptors. Pert complained about her exclusion from the prize because she had contributed significant information to the discovery. Solomon later acknowledged that Pert should have shared the Lasker Award with him and his colleagues.

In 1974 Pert received her Ph.D. and became a research fellow at Johns Hopkins. One of her projects was to make maps of the brain that showed the locations of opiate receptors. She moved to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1974, conducting research there on other receptors in the brain until 1987. By that time she had become chief of the section on brain chemistry at the NIH's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). She was the only woman chief at NIMH at that time. The year before she left, Pert started working with peptides, short chains of amino acids. In particular, she studied messenger peptides, or neuropeptides, which carry messages from the brain to receptors in other parts of the body. She helped discover Peptide-T, a drug that shows potential for blocking the AIDS virus from entering a particular receptor to which it binds. In 1987 Pert founded Peptide Design, a private company, to study peptides in more detail. It closed in 1990 after financial backing fell through.

Since 1990 Pert has been an adjunct professor in the department of physiology at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She continues to study endorphin receptors, focusing on psychoneuroimmunology, a science that studies the link between the mind and the body. Pert believes that the existence of peptides and their receptors demonstrates how the mind and body communicate. She has a CD out entitled Psychosomatic Wellness: Healing your Bodymind.

Why do we feel the way we feel?

Until recently, Emotion was virtually impossible to define. The kinds of questions that needed to be answered include: how emotion is manifest, how memory and emotion interact, whether emotion is concrete (real) or conceptual (a construct), if concrete, how emotion acts in the body, and how unexpressed emotion is stored. How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from each other or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system?

Candace Pert, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist whose extraordinary career provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries. Her groundbreaking book is Molecules of Emotion, the science behind mind and body medicine, published by Simon and Schuster.

For Dr. Pert, the mind is not just in the brain -- it is also in the body. The vehicle that the mind and body use to communicate with each other is the chemistry of emotion. The chemicals in question are molecules, short chains of amino acids called peptides and receptors, that she believes to be the "biochemical correlate of emotion." The peptides can be found in your brain, but also in your stomach, your muscles, your glands and all your major organs, sending messages back and forth. After decades of research, Dr. Pert is finally able to make clear how emotion creates the bridge between mind and body.

Her pioneering research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form a dynamic information network, linking mind and body, is not only provocative, it is revolutionary. By establishing the biomolecular basis for our emotions and explaining these new scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Dr. Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies -- or bodyminds -- in ways we could never have imagined before. From explaining how there is a scientific basis to popular wisdom about phenomena such as 'gut feelings,' to making recent breakthroughs in cancer and AIDS research, Dr. Pert provides us with an intellectual adventure of the highest order.

Molecules of Emotion is a landmark work, full of insight and wisdom and possessing that rare power to change the way we see the world and ourselves. Dr. Pert's striking conclusion that it is our emotions and their biological components that establish the crucial link between mind and body does not, however, serve to repudiate modern medicine's gains; rather, her findings complement existing techniques by offering a new scientific understanding of the power of our minds and our feelings to affect our health and well-being.

As a research professor at Georgetown Medical Center in Washington, Dr. Pert is one of the scientists on Bill Moyers' PBS series 'Healing and the Mind.' The journey Dr. Pert takes us on in Molecules of Emotionis one of personal as well as scientific discovery. Woven into her lucid explanations of the science underlying her work is the remarkable story of how, faced with personal and professional obstacles, she has grown as a woman and a mother and how her personal and spiritual development has made possible her remarkable scientific career.

She offers a rare glimpse of the ruthless competition for prizes and money that sometimes obscures the pursuit of truth. Because of her protests over her exclusion from the prestigious Lasker Award, her reputation among scientists was more that of feminist troublemaker than pathfinder. Certainly the picture she draws here of the science establishment would seem to suggest a world of aggressive, even ruthless, alpha males fighting for the top prize. She also traces her own evolution from competitive bench scientist to explorer of personal healing modalities. The death of her father, the end of her marriage, her resignation from the NIH, her embracing of the Christian faith, and her discovery of the healing power of dreams—all were, she says, life-shaping events.

Trained as a pharmacologist, Dr. Pert discovered the opiate receptor in 1972, the structure on the surface of a cell that allows it to admit outside substances, such as nutrients and hormones. Malfunctions in the operation of cell receptors can cause disease. Dr. Pert also explains her theory that neuropeptides and their receptors are the biochemicals of emotions, carrying information in a vast network linking the material world of molecules with the non-material world of the psyche.

Dr. Pert explains that perception and awareness play a vital part in health and longevity. She is able to explain how her research bridges the mind and body gap that is sadly prevalent in modern traditional medicine. Her views on mind-body cellular communication mesh well with the concepts of energy held by many alternative therapies, and she is now, not surprisingly, a popular lecturer on the wellness circuit. Her book describes an eight-part program for a healthy lifestyle, and she has appended an extensive list of alternative medicine resources. For all of those who have sought out complementary medicine, this book will confirm what you have long suspected: that alternative approaches to health do work. Dr. Pert explains why.

The scientific basis of the components of the molecules of emotion has basically two parts: The receptors that receive the smaller molecule, kind of into themselves on the surfaces of self. The other half isthe ligand, the small molecule that binds to the receptors. These smaller molecules can be drugs, hormones, or other chemicals -- chemicals made from within, many of which are peptides in their structure. These are all over, not just the brain but different parts of the body, including the heart and the vessels around the heart.

Does the mind come first, or chemistry? It is the crux of the difference between Eastern and Western thought. In Eastern, the consciousness precedes reality. In Western, we think consciousness is a secretion of the brain, like urine is a secretion of the kidneys. She writes that there is a very close correspondence between the highest, most concentrated areas of enrichment of a certain neuropeptides and where the chakras are classically supposed to be -- there's a striking concordance to chakra, the Eastern system of seven energy centers. The seven centers actually correspond in places of enriched neuropeptides VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), which is an incredibly important neuropeptides, critical in regulating the neural immune switches between the brain and the immune system, as well as being involved in the pathogenesis of AIDS.

She delves into the relationship between the chakras by hypothesis in the current Western biochemical correspondence. You don't have to be a scientist -- sometimes they're too skeptical about ancient wisdom backed up by thousands of years in practice. I think this whole chakra spinal cord neuropeptides correspondence is one of the hottest potential places for therapeutics. It's very complex, thinking of it as an integrated whole --the ancient wisdom of Eastern philosophy wedded with the best technique and scientific methods as modern science.

Do we treat physical conditions from an emotional point of view or vice versa? Dr. Pert says," I honestly cannot differentiate the physical from the mental, vice versa. The answer is you simultaneously do both, because they're flip sides of the same thing... I think a key word is balance, but I do feel that the meditation if possible twice a day in some kind of ritualized and not free-form form could be the cornerstone of a fitness program, along with exercise, which many studies have shown is the critical anti-aging variable in all kinds of animals and human beings."

Western medicine may say "it is all in your head" means that whatever is bothering a patient is therefore not important or real. According to Dr. Pert, the paradigm has got to shift. Even if it was entirely mental, thinking it's all in your head shows no awareness of the new research, suggesting the consciousness is a body-mind wide phenomenon.

But how does awareness actually transform matter? Dr. Pert believes that biophysicists will be answering that question. "I have a feeling and my understanding is it will involve some kind of signal -- a signal is information conveyed over time -- that occurs simultaneously in a non-material substrate and the physical substrate of the body."

Her work in San Francisco at St. Francis Hospital looks at is whetherpeptide T will be able to decrease virus levels in AIDS patients when added to existing regimens of drugs which stabilize the virus, but do not take it to a low enough level for people to feel uncomfortable. In the past, the drug has been studied for its effects as an antidote for neuroaids, and peptide T has been shown to reverse the mental and neurological damage caused by the AIDS virus.

A paper published in the Archives of Neurology in January 1998 in a three-site, sponsored, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients on peptide T improved, while the placebo group deteriorated. The drug has no toxic side effects of its own, and appears to be easily tolerated with other drugs, from the highly-effective anti-retroviral regimens. The hope is to see some beneficial antiviral effects in the patients, since what was observed in the test tube has been so dramatic. Dr. Pert and Michael Ruff, a colleague, visited University of Puerto Rico, where these test tube experiments were repeated, showing that Peptide T (HIV Peptide T) blocks the major form of the virus which is in about 80% of people.

Her web site, TINM stands for The Institute for New Medicine -- a nonprofit foundation and research institute at Georgetown University and School of Medicine, founded to scientifically examine new medicine, some of which is ancient, and to understand things that haven't been looked at sufficiently. Look for her tape, the title of which is "Your Body is Your Subconscious Mind."

Dr. Pert believes emotions are the key to our physiology -- to coordinating all parts into a harmonious whole. It's the total qualities that engage different systems to act in a coordinated fashion. There's a historical denial of the importance of emotions in our culture, unfortunately. But the direct effects of shifts in consciousness on physical well-being are being studied.

In Molecules of Emotion you can read about the history of discovery of the various neuropeptides and what parts of the body they are in.

Interview with Dr.Emoto
Water Mirror of the Soul
An Interview with Dr. Masaru Emoto

Interview is from Pure Inspiration magazine published in September 2006.

Pl: One of your remarkable discoveries is that water responds to words, whether they are spoken, written, or even thought, as in prayer. Kind, uplifting words tend to produce beautifully shaped water crystals, while angry discordant expressions have produced warped crystals. Does this mean that the water is a living presence with awareness and feelings?

Dr. Emoto: To that kind of a question I usually answer that water is existing just as a mirror to the human mind. For example, if a person is not esthetically beautiful but is truly a beautiful person, when his or her face is shown to the water the water will respond to it and respond to it beautifully. However, if a very unpleasant person shows his or her face to the water, the water will respond accordingly.

In the Bible it says that at the beginning was the Word, and I think words, whether spoken or written, are vibrations. So, going back to this saying in the Bible, we can replace, “In the beginning was the Word” with “In the beginning there was vibration.” The Creator made water to carry or to convey there vibrations.
In my long career of researching water, I have concluded that we need some sort of existence like God or the Creator or we won’t be able to answer many of our questions.

Pl: Based upon your experiences with water, given that the body is made up of about ¾ water, do you feel that we can heal the body by thinking and visualizing positive, good thoughts?

Dr. Emoto: Yes, that is possible. A body can be healed when a person visualizes beautiful images or listens to beautiful music. However, quite often a person does not know what is wrong with him or her or what has to be done, so in that case that person can have a third person’s help in figuring it out.

Pl: Many of us have experienced the power of prayer. Please share with us some of what you’ve learned through water about the power of prayer and its ability to affect our lives.

Dr. Emoto: I started taking pictures of water crystals and that was the same time I started to discover the power of prayer. It doesn’t matter if we show written words to water or if we say some beautiful words to water such as “love” and “respect.” The water responds beautifully by producing beautiful crystals.

I have performed some interesting experiments with prayer. I have many students, and I asked some of them to direct prayer to water, specifically to a glass of water sitting on my desk that was really dirty which never produced beautiful crystals. Even though those students were located in various places far away from my office, regardless of the distance, they directed prayer to the water and that produced a great change! The water slowly started to clear up.

I was also interested to hear that a certain Buddhist priest was able to offer a prayer to dirty water and then clarify the dirty water through this means. I decided to go to Fujiwara Dam in Japan together with this priest to offer a prayer to the water. After an hour of prayer, I saw for myself that the dirty water was becoming much clearer. Then I decided to take a sample of that cleared water to my office and take a picture of the crystals, and we discovered some of the most beautiful crystals in this water. A movie called What the Bleep Do We Know? Shows one of the pictures of the water crystals I brought back from the dam. Interestingly, a week after we prayed over the water, a female body floated up to the surface of that body of water, and the next day the person who murdered her was arrested. From that point forward I really began to understand the power of prayer.

Also, late in July 1999, we had a ceremony offering prayer to the biggest lake in Japan called Lake Biwa. Because Lake Biwa is in the shape of a female uterus, it has traditionally been called the “Mother Lake.” Unfortunately, Lake Biwa was extremely polluted and every year it would give off a foul smell. I thought this was an unacceptable situation because Lake Biwa is a symbol of the female body, and I thought we had to do something about that. So 350 people got together around the lake, and we offered a great invocation led by a 97-year-old doctor. We started praying at 4:00 in the morning. Interestingly, about a month later there was a fascinating article in the newspaper. The article stated that there had been no foul smell detected around Lake Biwa that particular year. Because the lake was so polluted, it typically gave off a foul smell around the 15th of August. Every year after that date the city office would receive more than 300 calls about the smell, but that year they didn’t receive any calls. Since then, I heard that a group of people have been getting together to offer a prayer to Lake Biwa, and I understand that the lake is getting cleaner every year.

On July 20 of this year, I plan to go to Lake Galilee in Israel. I heard that about 1000 people will be gathering at the lake and everyone, including myself, will be offering prayers of love and gratitude to the lake. As you know, Lake Galilee runs into the River Jordan, which runs through the areas where Palestinians and Israelis are living, and they are using this water as drinking water.

These two groups of people have been in conflict for many years, and the Middle East is one of the biggest sources of conflicts in the world. Actually they are almost dividing the world into two. So if these two groups of people can create peace among themselves, it will contribute to world peace. I am really hoping that the positive energy we are offering to the water will contribute to a peaceful relationship between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and that by drinking the water maybe the conflict between them will disappear.

I’m not a “religious” person at all; I have simply conducted experiments over the years and, looking at the results, I have come to believe that there is such a thing as “the power of prayer.”

Pl: you have written about the importance of love and gratitude and that those words, used together, produce beautiful crystals in water. You said that the balance of love and gratitude is very important to maintaining health. Please tell us why you attribute so much importance to love and gratitude.

Dr. Emoto: To carry out my mission, I cannot deny the existence of the Creator. This wonderful Creator has made everything in this world, and in order to make everyone happy and harmonious He or She placed positive energy as well as negative energy concepts into the water and then sent the water to us.

I think that love is a active energy because it is the energy to give. Gratitude is a passive energy because it is the energy to receive. I think the Creator was really clever to think about the balance between love and gratitude. He or She thought that love, the giving energy, had to be one, but that the receiving or “thanks” energy had to be two and this explains the true meaning of the symbol H2O for water. “H” represents thanks and gratitude and “O” represents love. Because of this love and gratitude energy, when water is shown or hears the words “love” and “gratitude” it becomes happy and shines more.

It was the intention of the Creator to give love and gratitude to the world; however, it was also embedded into the system that people would become sick if they deviated from those two qualities. Over many centuries, humankind gradually forgot the original intention of the Creator and started having egoistic emotions and feelings which in turn, blocked the ability to feel love and gratitude.

Pl: I read about your idea that life was meant to be eternal but that we’ve gotten away from that and now we die. Is there any way to get back to that eternal nature, and if so, is it to think and act more purely?

Dr. Emoto: I think the correct status of people on Earth is that we are all going to elementary school here, so Earth isn’t a country but a school. After graduating elementary school you go to junior high, high school, university, and graduate school. We have to first graduate from elementary school; then in order to move on to higher levels of education we have to study very hard and graduate the next level. If we keep doing that, ultimately we will be able to go to eternal life staging- the true meaning of our existence.

However, the reality is that people on Earth aren’t able to graduate from elementary school! In fact, there are lots of dropouts over the years, and that’s why the population has been increasing at a very rapid pace. This is actually the concept of reincarnation. Reincarnation is not going to the higher stage but is what happens to the dropouts. They keep reincarnating in the same world which is Earth. So they really have to hurry up and graduate from elementary school as soon as possible. I think human beings are water, and there are more and more human beings on Earth which means we are getting more and more water on us. I believe this is why we are experiencing more natural disasters involving water such as tsunamis and floods.

Pl: It was particularly interesting to read in The Hidden Messages in Water about your teacher Nobuo Shioya who is still alive. In the book he was 101 and in wonderful condition. Can you tell us about his unique breathing technique to which he attributes much of his health?

Dr. Emoto: Dr. Shioya wasn’t a very healthy person as a young man. After reaching 16 years old, he devised a way to improve his health, and this is his breathing method. Called the “right mind long breathing method,” it involves breathing in air until it entirely fills up your lungs and provides oxygen to your entire body. While doing this, you are to think about the universe’s energy surrounding you and providing you with invigorating energy. Finally, he recommends that people say the following affirmation after the exercise, “The infinite power of the universe will be concentrated and bring true peace to the world. “This is the same phrase that was chanted over Lake Biwa under the supervision of Master Shioya. If you are suffering from a particular illness you have to say, “My sickness is (or will be) healed. “Though these are forms of prayers, the use of the word “will” imbues them with particularly strong determination.

So this is the “right mind long breathing method.” ”Long breathing” happens to have the same pronunciation as “long life” in Japanese. I think the number of breaths you can take in a lifetime is limited, so if you can prolong your breath, you can prolong your life! Today Dr. Shioya is 104 years old. He’s been living so long that I think it’s worth trying! I’m a student of Dr. Shioya but unfortunately I haven’t been practicing that breathing method because I’ve been traveling all over the world these days and I’m just too busy to take a long breath!

Pl: Are there any additional things we can do to help raise awareness of your work?

Dr. Emoto: Yes, I would like to ask you to help me with the Emoto Project which is a project to distribute free copies of a water book to children in the world. The Emoto Project’s website should be available by the end of June 2006 (https://www.hado.net/dremoto/project.php). There is a 32-page book about water for children, and all of the pages are available for downloading from our website, because it’s cheaper than printing. These copies are distributed free of charge to children, but many children in the world don’t have access to the internet, so these children are in need of people willing to publish books. We are looking for sponsors to fund the publication of hard copies, which will be distributed to children in poorer parts of the world. What we’re looking for from sponsors is for them to translate the template for the book into the language of the country they are distributing to. And this book can be arranged to be localized for any particular area. Or we can remix some of the music with local characters as well. As a reward for sponsoring this, a project sponsor can place one page of advertising in the book.

Pl: Can you tell us a little bit more about the children’s book?

Dr. Emoto: We’re focusing on the effects of words uttered. We have seen that words can affect the state of water or one’s state of mind. Thus, if a child utters a bad word to a friend, the friend will feel sad and the person who uttered the word will feel sad and this will affect, to a degree, their health as well. Therefore, we are stressing the importance of words.

Pl: Are there any closing messages you want to share with our readers?

Dr. Emoto: Yes, I think it was when my first grandson was born that I started to think about the word “peace” more seriously. Some indigenous groups make decisions based on the effects their decisions will have on many future generations. I’m sure many members of your audience have children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and they love them purely. If you truly love your following generations then you can purely think about the future for them and be motivated to take some positive actions to improve their world. So I simply want to say, “Think about your grandchildren and their future. After thinking about that, you can decide the way you live and act in your daily life.”

Pl: Thank you very much.

Dr. Emoto: I wish you great success.
