Plant/Human Communication Experiment

Setup

Select two identical pots
Fill them with identical soil
Place them in identical conditions (light, water, temperature, etc.), but keep them several feet apart.
Plant the same species of seeds in each pot – from the same seed packet would be ideal.
Label one pot “friend” and one pot “alone”.

Running the Experiment

Treat both pots equally in terms of watering and basic care.
Spend a few minutes each day talking to the “friend”, but do not speak to the “alone” plant. Then spend a minute “listening” to the “friend” plant and carefully observing it.
When speaking and listening, try to remain positive and encouraging.
Record the date of germination for each pot as well as notes each week on size and overall health.
Continue the experiment as long as desired. 2 months is ideal.

Tips for Success

The more time you spend talking with your plant, the more dramatic your results will be. 15-20 seconds a day might possibly yield noticeable results, but 3-5 minutes is better.

The more consistent you are, the more dramatic your results will be. You can still see results if you forget and skip days, but daily communication is best.

Your chosen words and feelings/energy will also affect the results. More positivity and love yields better results.

Caution:

If you set out to “debunk” this experiment, you will find exactly what you are looking for. You can follow all of the physical protocols, but if your inner “intention” is to show that this doesn’t work, that will come through in the results.

The plants aren’t responding to the English language. The medium might be English words, but the communication is energetic. If you’ve set your energy to be negative, the outer actions won’t cover it up.

This experiment DOES NOT require blind, unwavering faith. If it did, then we might respond to failed result with the copout answer, “You didn’t BELIEVE enough.” Thankfully, all that’s required is an open mind and a positive attitude.
