Peace Overtures Today is a weekly newsletter dedicated to guiding individuals on their personal quest for inner peace. Each week, I share a movie that helped me discover balance. It’s a process of awareness and healing that leads to sparks of joy. I’m sincerely grateful to have you here with me.
Whenever anything new is created, be it a business, a marriage, or a country, the belief and emotional patterns present at the time create a powerful expansive resonance. These patterns ripple like a stone thrown in a pond and get larger and larger until recognized and then changed….or not…depending on the awareness.
Today science is discovering the power of resonance in some impressive Social Contagion research. There are several terrific TED talks on the Social Contagion discoveries (if you’re intrigued search for these talks - they’re terrific).
This social contagion phenomenon is simply how resonance works and it’s very powerful.
We’ve discovered you can actively change the resonance that’s getting in the way of the life you desire and help you align with your desires/dreams/goals - so you can begin to experience them. We call it The Alignment Movie Process (AMP).
Of course we can change the macro patterns of what’s occurring on your team and in your company too. This includes the patterns occurring in our fractured political process, business patterns, and any other macro pattern that’s up right now. When you make the shift - it affects all of us. That’s simply how resonance works. It’s really amazing!
If you’re curious to learn more and would like to sample an Alignment Process Movie, there are numerous podcasts and posts for you to sample here on Substack. I will be providing more frequently, so if you’re intrigued, please join me and subscribe to our Peace Overtures Today newsletter.
If you’d like to learn more about the power of resonance frequencies, here’s an excerpt from our book: It’s Just Commerce: Returning Balance to Business.
The Power of Resonance Frequencies
For some time now, scientists and engineers have needed to be aware of how vibrations transform from one object to another. Without this awareness, bridges, like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, collapse, as it did in 1940. When teaching resonance, scientists typically use tuning forks to show how it works. When both tuning forks of the same frequency are close, but not touching, you can make them both vibrate by hitting only one tuning fork. This is sometimes called sympathetic resonance.
The vibrations of the one tuning fork cause the other to vibrate simultaneously. The same principle is used for radio frequencies. Since the radio frequency is tuned to the same as the radio station’s frequency the sound is transferred.
Energy Transforms Water
Dr. Masaru Emoto is known for his extensive research of frozen- water crystals.We see examples of how vibrations transfer and tangibly change water crystals.
His work has revealed to us the power of vibrations on water and how our emotions, words, prayers, and intentions tangibly affect it. In his book, The Message from Water Dr. Emoto introduced photos that have changed our awareness of energy and how it affects everything. He discovered, “Water shows different shapes of ice crystals depending on the information it has received.”
Dr. Emoto has conducted countless experiments to show how water crystals are energetically transformed into beautiful designs through focused intent. His experiments have proved that water vibrations can be transformed from any location. He says, “Words and prayers transcend distance.”
In 1996, Dr. Emoto conducted a test by putting some tap water on his office desk inTokyo. He then asked his 500 instructors around Japan to say “The water on the director’s desk in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has become clean.” The request was to do this simultaneously at two o’clock in the afternoon. In his book, his photos show the tap water initially lacked any noticeable crystals. After the 500 instructors focused on it, the photos revealed a transformation of exquisite water crystals. Search for his photos on the Internet and you’ll find numerous examples.
Dr. Emoto has repeated this transformation using words, prayer, classical music, meditation, and art. He continues to learn more about how vibrations transform water and its healing potential for others. Dr. Emoto says the average human body is 70% water, depending on size. From this perspective, he says, “Humans are water.” This awareness opens up a whole new understanding of energy, vibrations, and how it affects resonance. It shows that our energy is clearly proven to be not limited and travels to wherever we place our focus and however we intend it (fear, love, anger, prayer, etc.). It also suggests that just like tuning forks we impact each other when our resonance is aligned together.
When individuals do this alignment work, transformative changes are apparent. These possibilities are magnified when teams do the work together. Each of us has energetic vibrations that when aligned with others resonate in profound ways, similar to the tuning forks. When we do our own work and then align with others, now we have a powerful resonance that changes outcomes. Then when consistent work is done, a new set point emerges.
