This past week I was at a conference in Atlanta, and I was eating lunch with my friend, Andria Molina, and she was telling me about an interesting experiment that she conducted.
She cooked some rice, and then placed the rice in a container. With one container, she expressed positive thoughts and said loving words to it. With the other, she expressed negative thoughts and said not-so-loving things to the rice.
The results were amazing. You could clearly see how the rice which was the recipient of the positive thoughts and words never really changed in its appearance, while the other rice which received the negative thoughts underwent some changes.
Her experiment was based on the studies done by Masaru Emoto, who famously takes pictures of water crystals that are exposed to various stimuli to see the effects of the stimuli on them. The results are astounding. If you’re not familiar with his work, feel free to visit his website, http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/index.html
You can also see some evidence of his intriguing discoveries by watching this video:
So, I want to do this experiment myself, to see what results I can get, but I want you to help and be a part of this experiment! I just cooked some rice, and I am placing it into two airtight containers. One is going to be labeled “Love and Gratitude” and the other is going to be labeled “Hate and Disease.”
I am going to stream a live feed of the two containers of rice, and I want you to visit the stream. When you view the two containers of rice, I would like to ask you to send thoughts of love and gratitude, or happiness, or joy, or any other positive emotion to the container labeled “Love and Gratitude.” You can even actually say kind things to that container.
Next, I want you to send thoughts of negativity and criticism to the container labeled “Hate and Disease.” You can even say things like, “Yuck,” or “I hate you,” or anything else negative or critical toward that rice.
I’m going to leave the stream up throughout the week, and I invite you to come back as often as you’d like to participate in the experiment. I’ll take a “Before and After” photo of the rice, and then I’ll share the results of the experiment with you.
I want to see how powerful our thoughts and words are, and I hope you can join me in this fun experiment!
**Please note: The stream is no longer active, but the rice is still in the same spot. I want to continue the experiment by having you view a picture of the rice, and continue to send your thoughts to the rice. I want to see how this affects the rice. The picture is below:
Thanks for participating! I am looking forward to the results! I’ll be sure to share them with you in an update!

This is so great Victor. I have seen flowers and plants used in this way as well. It really works. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work is amazing! Our intention and emotions are more powerful than we will probably ever truly know.
Hi Melissa,
I’m really looking forward to this. I’ve never “tested” the theory that I believe to be true, which is the profound power of our thoughts and words, and I appreciate you helping out! Thanks for stopping by!
Love this, have done something similar with growing beans, will check out you link
Suzie,
That’s cool! I am looking forward to seeing what happens. I thank you for checking out the link! 🙂
Victor, I’ve been wanting to try the rice experiment with my preschoolers. I think I’ll try it with my son this summer and see what happens. I’ll let you know!!
Betsy,
Yes! Please let me know what happens! I’d love to hear about it! 🙂
