My name is Janae. I am a nursing student, and I am doing some research to replicate an experiment in Masaru Emoto’s book -The Hidden Messages in Water.
I am looking for some people to help me replicate this experiment. If you choose to participate, it will only take you about 4 minutes a day for 30 days. Please see the following posts for the details of the experiment. Each person who participates will get lots of Karma points for helping me out AND as an extra bonus, will be entered into a drawing for $100. I need as many people as possible to help me with this experiment. Please leave comments or contact me with any questions.
Cheers!

Experiment Protocol
Masaru Emoto’s Rice Experiment
Saying “Thank you” and “You fool” to Rice Everyday
1. Place equal amounts of freshly cooked rice in two identical containers. Seal the containers.
2. Label each container. One with “Thank You” (or some combination of positive messages) and the other with “You Fool” (or some combination of negative messages.
3. Place the jars in separate paper bags or some other covering so you can not see the results until the end of the experiment (NO PEEKING)
4. Every day for 30 days “talk” to the rice in each jar with corresponding positive and negative messages (about one minute each jar twice a day). For instance you might yell “I hate you” at the negative jar or say “I love you” to the positive jar.
5. Make sure your are putting as much emotion as possible into your words and your messages. You really need to FEEL the love or the hate you are directing toward the rice. Also, make sure the jars are in similar environmental conditions but separated from each other by enough distance so the messages can be clearly directed to one OR the other.
6. After the 30 days is over, take some photos of the jars and fill out the attached form. It does not matter what the results are. All results are valid and helpful. Do not abort the experiment if you think it is not working. Please submit all results. If you forget to talk to the rice for a day, don’t panic just keep doing it for the 30 days and let me know how many days you did participate.
7. All experiments submitted before September 1, 2008 will be entered into the drawing for $100 cash prize. You may do more than one experiment. Each separate submission will be entered one time into the drawing.
8. Drawing will be held on September 8, 2008 and the winner will be notified via e-mail.
9. Send all submissions and questions to janaeolsen@gmail.com
10 Send in as many separate submissions as you like. Each submission will be entered into the drawing once.
