A short course on how to feel

My friend N recently introduced me to a hot topic at the moment in Japan:"hado"- which is about vibration patterns, in nature and in words, and particularly the effect words can have on vibrational patterns and manifestation, tested on water.

Talks of good vibes usually come from people who I get bad vibes from, but hado was also attracting interest from the scientific community, who in general are also vibe- allergic.

Dr Emoto encouraged people to do the hado test: putting two identical jars of water (or jars of cooked rice) on a bench for some time. To one you repeatedly scold with "You fool!" and the other a kindly "thankyou".
Fool water/rice aparently goes foul, thankyou water/rice goes nice, and the shape of water molecules was affected by the way it was spoken to.

This all of course was presented in a less direct way in Tarkovsky's Solaris , and his comment about behaving in a correct way toward all aspects of the universe at all times.

Which brings me to the next, and only ever discussion point: Ukraine.

A couple of weekends ago my friend B invited me to his home-town, or home village which lies on the river Ros, to be experienced with the instructions "just feel". I don't know if residents of Rokytna are much into hado, but a trip to the village always allows a different experience of how being alive feels.

One overriding sense when you visit someone else's family is usually a kind of social discomfort that blocks receptors accessing deeper experience of the good stuff. But if you concentrate, it can be put aside.

And so I felt those things that are not classes as emotions in themselves, but carry in their own molecular structure feelings that are clear in definition, if not in words, all somehow akin to when you are going through the shed and you put on your grandpa's coat.

Here are a few of them:

- a train stuffed with grandma's, leather driving caps, brass bands and gardening glove vendors.
-Each hand filled with something to eat ( "Chew! Chew! So they know you are enjoying it")
- a change in the air when a cautious dog begins to trust you
-Sunday afternoon when the sun makes you squint
-The dialog of a family gathering.
-Time as a slow deep breath
-the sight of Johnny hashing over the scents and space and forest runs in dreams that lasted the whole trip home

Hado is vibration. It is invisible, but if we tune into it we can feel it.

"We must pay respect to water, and feel love and gratitude, and receive vibrations with a positive attitude. Then, water changes, you change, and I change. Because both you and I are water" ~ Dr. Masaru Emoto
