I remember reading something in another of Ilchi Lee‘s books. It concerned positive and negative energy, and how it affects us. Many people, at the time, did not understand the power of words. So, an experiment was done with onions. One onion was only spoken to in a positive way, with positive words being used. The second onion was the opposite-only negative things/words were said/used. The result: the positive onion grew strong and firm. The negative onion eith shriveled, died, or grew very little.
Since then, I’ve started to talk to my plants. I noticed that one was about to die, so I spoke moreloving things to it, did the plant meditation, and it came back to life in under a week.
