The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
– Albert Einstein
Before going deeper, let’s first understand what the thoughts are.
Thoughts are our perceptions, opinions, ideas, actions, and beliefs about the world. It acts as a filter for how we perceive our inner and outside world. Thoughts can become things. If you start visualizing and emotionalizing it, eventually, you will be actualizing it.
Your long-lasting thoughts can become either your limiting beliefs or empowering ones. So, be careful of what kind of thoughts you are seeding in your mind. While thoughts are purely made by life experiences, societies & surroundings we live in, our upbringing, genetics, and education, they are still under conscious control. Those are different for different kinds of people. In other words, if you are aware of your thoughts and beliefs, you can choose to change them, and when you know about the power of your thoughts, you will surely do that.
TFBA – THOUGHT, FEELING, BELIEF, ACTION
Thoughts, in and of themselves, have no power – it’s only when we actively feel our thoughts. After feeling, we start believing in them. And once we believe them, we take necessary action, and that is when our thoughts become things.
For example, if you regularly engage with the Thought that you’re a failure and keep feeling it, that becomes your belief, and your actions show that belief.
At that moment, how do you feel emotionally? You become depressed, less motivated, stressed, and frustrated.
And how does your body react to this? You sulk down, slump your shoulders, and project no confidence.
But if you engage with more empowering thoughts, they would boost your confidence and thus trigger a more positive emotional state, and you become relaxed, motivated, happy & cheerful. That is shown in your body: You stand up straight, upbeat and energized.
As per Newton’s 3rd law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Since our thoughts are made of energy, the same rule applies to them. So, be careful of your thoughts! Whatever you send out of your mind comes back to you. Every Thought you think is a boomerang.
It’s as simple as this. If you are love, you attract love.
If you hurt someone, you will be hurt by someone.
THE ULTIMATE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS
Dr. John Demartini, a professional speaker, author, and business consultant, says: “We’ve known in the healing arts of a placebo effect. A placebo is something that supposedly has no impact and no effect on the body, like a sugar pill. You tell the patient that this is just as effective, and what happens is the placebo sometimes has the same effect, if not greater effect, than the medication that is supposed to be designed for that effect. They have found out that the human mind is the biggest factor in the healing arts, sometimes more so than the medication.”
Placebo gives incredible results, just like natural medicine or more than that. When giving an injection, we tell the patient that it’s a very effective and powerful medicine and it will immediately provide results to you. Now, here comes the power of thoughts, and the patient starts seeing the positive results in their body. Scientists have proven that the power of thoughts has a tremendous impact on our bodies.
Placebo is very powerful because patients think and believe it is a natural medicine, so what they think is what they get. This way, they get a positive impact on their bodies.
The placebo effect is one of the least understood phenomena in modern science, yet it is something that prevails time and time again. It is literal proof that we humans can heal and create something solely based on our thoughts and beliefs.
If that is true, imagine how much more capable we would be of it if we learned and practiced regularly.
CAN YOU BELIEVE YOUR THOUGHTS CAN TRAVEL & IMPACT MANY LIVES?
During the recent Russia & Ukraine War (24 February 2022), many spiritual organizations performed mass meditation because they knew the power of thoughts. They knew that thoughts could travel lightning-fast from one heart to another. They knew that if we think negatively about the war situation, it will only aggravate the situation and attract even more negative vibes. Many of you might have heard that they asked everyone to send good vibrations to each other and keep doing prayers during that challenging time. It was very, very critical to send powerful, positive thoughts during that time.
Do you sometimes experience if we think negatively about a person and observe that they start behaving negatively? It is because the thoughts can travel lightning-fast from one heart to another.
Let me share one of my personal experiences that will prove how thoughts travel from one heart to another.
Three years back, i.e., in 2019, some misunderstanding happened between Rohit (one of my good friends) and me, and we stopped talking for about a year. We thought we would never speak again with each other. After a year, I realized that we both were hurt and sent negative thoughts & vibes to each other, exchanging even more negative energies. After realizing this, I consciously started sending positive thoughts & vibes to him daily for about 2-3 months, and you will be amazed to know the power of thoughts that we are now good friends again!
Now, I want you to experience some fantastic stuff. I’m sure you will go crazy after that, and you will feel the power of thoughts. Are you ready for that?
Imagine your favorite food and think as if it is in front of your eyes; listen to its crunchy voice, smell it, eat it, and feel its yummy taste. Now, you must realize the power of thoughts and how powerful they are.
Let us take one more example: think about lemons.
Cut, smell, and taste it.
What do you experience?
What is happening in your mouth?
You are literally feeling the taste of sourness. Isn’t it?
Where is the lemon now?
This is the magical power of thoughts!
DR. MASARU EMOTO’S WONDERFUL WATER EXPERIMENT
Emoto Masaru (22nd July 1943 – 17th October 2014) was a Japanese businessman, author, and pseudo-scientist. His work revolved around pseudo-scientific hypotheses, which showed that water could react to positive words and thoughts and that polluted water could be cleansed through positive vibrations and prayers. According to him, the human consciousness could affect the molecular structure of water.
In 1999, Emoto published several articles entitled Messages from Water, containing photographs of ice crystals. He also performed several experiments, such as the ‘rice in water’ 30-day experiment.
According to Emoto – the water was a “blueprint for our reality,” and that emotional “energies” and “vibrations” could change its physical structure. His water crystal experiments consisted of exposing water in glasses to various words, pictures, or music, then freezing it and examining the ice crystals’ aesthetic properties with microscopic photography.
He observed that water exposed to positive speech, vibrations, and thoughts created visually “pleasing” ice crystals, and those negative intentions produced “unpleasant” ice formations.
Emoto held that different water sources produced different ice structures. For example, he held that water from a mountain stream, when frozen, showed structures of beautifully shaped geometric designs. Still, that water from polluted sources created distorted, randomly formed ice structures. He held that these changes could be eliminated by exposing water to ultraviolet light or certain electromagnetic waves.
Below, you can see a few images of water taken under different circumstances or using different words or thoughts-
Emoto says that drinking water that has been exposed to positive emotions and ideas (such as the Ubuntu water) has a positive effect on health, while water exposed to feelings of hate or violence causes disease.
Water bottle technique: – As our body is made up of 75 percent water, to utilize this experiment, we can write our affirmations and positive thoughts around the bottle that we want to manifest and drink from that bottle only; we will see the considerable effect after 21 days.
You can prepare your water bottle like I have prepared mine:
- Your long-lasting thoughts can become either your limiting beliefs or empowering ones. So, be careful of what kind of thoughts you are seeding in your mind.
- If you are aware of your thoughts and beliefs, you can choose to change them, and when you know about the power of your thoughts, you will surely do that.
- If you regularly engage with the thought that you’re a failure and keep feeling it, that becomes your belief.
- Every thought you think is a boomerang.
- The thoughts can travel lightning-fast from one heart to another.
