Among other things, Dr. Emoto's research reveals that water physically responds to emotions. And since our bodies are mainly water, wouldn't our cells respond too? This prayer has circulated through emails about praying for the Gulf of Mexico: "I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.
To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you. "
Dr. Emoto's prayer: "I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you." has been used in healing family emotional wounds and in changing peoples lives.
I know for me forgiveness has played a major role in healing my internal anger and frustrations towards my father, who is a wonderful person, and I always knew this. I have realized that the expectations that may have been placed on me, I chose to react to and internalize, though as a teenager it didn't seem like a "choice" to be hurt, resentful, and not feel like I was good enough.
Forgiveness for others, forgiveness for ourselves, ask for forgiveness. Blessings these Holy Days.
