I've heard that water can remember things. A famous scientist did an experiment that proved that when water is frozen the ice crystals show signs of what the water was exposed to prior to being frozen, if you had said to the water that you loved it it would have had beautiful ice crystals, if you had said you hated it then the ice crystals what look all nasty.
I have today boiled some rice, placed in three separate jars, 1 with a sticker saying Love, 1 with a sticker saying Hate and the other with neglect. myself and my little girls have all spoken to the jars of rice, saying how much we love the "love" rice and how much we don't like the "hate" rice! i will add to the blog as the experiment unfolds or as it molds!
