In 2004, a Japanese scientist named Masaru Emoto conducted research to demonstrate the power of words. The research consisted of boiling rice and distributing it into three equal containers: one with a positive label, one with a negative label and the last with a neutral label. to be used as a control.
For a month, he said sweet and pleasant words to rice labeled positive every day, and did the opposite with the pot labeled negative, through insults, contempt, indifference and hatred.
- After this month.
- The rice that had received the pleasant messages was better preserved and had no bad smell.
- On the other hand.
- The pot that had received unpleasant words and insults was filled with mushrooms.
- Causing the rice to take on a dark and rotten color.
- Smell.
This experience demonstrates the power we have with the messages we convey, if it happens with a simple pot of rice, can you imagine what happens to the people around us and with those we communicate with every day?
Perhaps this experience is nothing more than pseudoscience, and we intend to classify it as something totally true and scientific, but we can use the message it conveys and discover with it the wonderful power of words, both written and spoken.
“Is everything on the word? An idea changes because one word moved, or another sat like a queen in a phrase that did not wait for her and obeyed her. Do they have shade, transparency, weight, feathers, hair, they have added”. to them traveling around the river, transmigrating from their homeland, being so ingrained?Are they too old and very recent? -Pablo Neruda-
The language we use leads us to see reality one way or another. Isn’t that the same to say, is it impossible to achieve? And say, “Maybe it’s hard, but at least I’ll try. “When we are able to use or shape our messages in a different way, the idea we have and what we are going through can completely change.
It is important to realize that many times this is not what we say, but how we say it, words have the power to change what we think, retain the will to give a new vision to what we have before us, and have the wonderful capacity to alleviate and give peace.
Isn’t it about making unrealistic use of language to change what we think and where we went from?Am I not going to make it? I’ll get there, but it’s up to us to stop using terms that only bring difficulties like “always,” “never,” “I have to,” “I need” and start using words that help us like, “Maybe I didn’t get it before, but today is another day, am I going to try?”.
“Modern science has not yet produced a reassuring remedy as effective as some attractions. “Sigmund Freud.
Language is at our service to help and shape our minds and ideas, let us be the writers of our own lives and make the script full of strength and messages that stimulate us and do not limit us, doing this can be very simple and the difference between putting it into practice and not doing so is huge.
“If you are not satisfied with your life, it may be wise to take an inventory of the words you say. “Joyce Meyer.
Try to change the words you talk to others and yourself, find words that are appropriate, positive and functional, perhaps simply changing the way you talk, and you will change the content, if they help you, stimulate you and make you feel otherwise, if you discover that the forces are removed, that it is only limited, that it is not helping or that it is hurting others , maybe you should consider whether to change the language you’re talking to. they’re headed.
If you can see the effect of language on rice, imagine what happens when we direct it to people, because after reflection we have in our mouths the possibility of caring for or abusing others and ourselves, in this sense we can make many decisions. , and one of them is certainly deciding what is the best way to use the power of words.
