Three Scientific Experiments Showing That Thoughts Matter

  1. The Summer of ’93 D.C. Meditation Experiment. A group of 4,000 people volunteered to meditate on peace and love to reduce the amount of crime in the high-crime Washington, DC area. A team of scientists and researchers approached the project without bias and tested for every variable imaginable. The results were clear: during the month of meditation, crime dropped by 25%, definitively and scientifically proving that the positive thoughts of a group of people can affect and change the behavior of ill-intentioned individuals.

  2. Thinking You’re Younger Physically Makes You Younger. In 1979, a study was conducted on 70-80 year old men to see the difference between remembering youth fondly and actually reliving youth. One group talked and reminisced about their younger days while the other group actually pretended to be young, surrounding themselves with TV shows, music and activities of their youth. At the end of the experiment, those who imagined they were physically younger showed signs of de-aging. Blood pressure was lowered, arthritis was diminished, and even eyesight and hearing in this control group improved. By simply imagining themselves younger, some physical aging was actually reversed. Their thoughts made this happen.

  3. The Water Experiments. The most famous experiment that proves the power of thought was carried out by Dr. Masaru Emoto. He photographed frozen water crystals after thoughts of love and peace or hate and fear were projected onto them. Sometimes the intentions were spoken out loud, while other times the intentions were merely thought. The results were always the same. Messages of hope, peace, love, joy and the like resulted in beautiful, symmetrical crystals, while messages of fear, hate, anger, sadness and the like resulted in disjointed and broken crystals. His experiments proved that our intentions can physically alter the world around us.
