What is this project about?
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
6 Flowers, 6 Feelings
One Powerful Experiment
in Human Connection
Instructions:
As you pass by the flowers, take a quiet moment to pause. Focus your attention on one plant at a time. Gently speak the word associated with that flower—either aloud or silently in your mind—directing your intention and energy toward it.
Then, move to the next flower and repeat the process.
Each word carries meaning. Each flower receives it.
Together, they help grow a space of shared compassion and connection.
How does it work? Watch this project video. Meet Monika Meulman.
Why should you care?
Your thoughts and feelings matter. Understanding the science of compassion starts with the heart. Watch this video. Meet Dr. Mitch.

WATER VIBRATION EXPERIMENT DETAILS
OBJECTIVE:
Explore effect, if any, of positive and negative words on single flowers in clear vases filled with water.
MATERIALS:
6 WHITE GIANT CHRYSANTHEMUMS
6 CLEAR, IDENTICAL VASES
1 LONG WINDOW LEDGE OR SHELF (APPROXIMATELY 5′ x 8-12″)
1 NORTH FACING WINDOW (SHELF MUST BE IN WINDOW)**
6 PRINTED WORD SIGNS: LOVE, FEAR, JOY, PEACE, WAR, ANGER
1 PRINTED WINDOW INSTRUCTION SIGN WITH QR CODE (EXPERIMENT LINK TO WEBSITE)
1 ACCESS TO ONE SMARTPHONE/CAMERA (FOR SENDING PHOTOS & CONTENT UPDATES)
**DON’T HAVE A NORTH FACING WINDOW? You can still participate with East, West or South facing windows. See more info in the Q&A Section below.
PROTOCOL:
(for July 22nd Project Participants)
PREPARATION
- Fill 6 clear, identical, glass vases (large mason jars are ideal) with water (tap water is fine, just use the same type water the entire 6 weeks for refills and all vases) Water level: maximum 6″ from base, minimum 3″ from base.
- Set up vases 10″ apart on window shelf
- Cut white crysanthemum flowers to the exact height. Approximately 12″ tall.
- Clear off leaves from bottom 6-8″ of each stem. Leave 2 leaves below the flower on the stem.
SET UP
- Place one flower in each vase
- Place one printed word in front of each vase – facing out to the street/pedestrians/community space
To Duplicate the original set up, place the word signs, left to right, in this order:
WAR LOVE FEAR JOY ANGER PEACE - Place Project Instruction sheet on the window
PROJECT OBSERVATIONS
- Day 1: Take minimum of 3 photos of the set up (1 photo head on off entire set up from inside, 1 photo head on off entire set up from outside, 1 photo close up of at least 1 vase with flower) (Photos must be taken within 48 hours of set up)
- Weekly: Take 3 photos, as described for day 1
- Day 42: Take final 3 photos, as described for day 1

Q&A
Q&A Section
Q What if I can’t start the experiment in July?
A You can start the experiment as described above anytime. It takes 6 weeks. To add your results and progress photos/details to our data pool, you must register here online.
Q Can I start my experiment today?
A Yes, you can start anytime. To be a part of our social media showcase you must join on the dates provided. To be a Community #compassionaut you can register and share your findings/results with us anytime. The more participants, the better.
Q Can we do it without a North facing window?
A Yes. You can participate with a West, East or even South facing window. The warmer the window ledge, the faster the water will evaporate. You will need to monitor water levels daily. Also, the experiment will not be an exact duplicate of the original experiment, if your window is not North facing.
Q Does the order of the words matter?
A Yes. Main reason it matters is to duplicate to position of the words of the original experiment. Also, to alter a positive/constructive word with negative/destructive word minimizes the minor effect location can have on the flowers. Lastly, alternating the words allows for in internal control within the experiment. The positive word such as ‘love’ is beside ‘war’ and ‘fear’ and if there is any vibrational effect, positive or negative it moves in both directions.
DEEP DIVE
🌍 Collective Impact: Local is Global
In the 1980s, Harvard psychologist Dr. Charles Alexander and colleagues conducted a project in the Middle East where groups meditating and cultivating coherence with intention resulted in significant decreases in war related fatalities (71%) war related injuries (64%) overall conflict (48%) and increased cooperation between antagonists by (66%).
Repeated 9 times over 2 years, the peer reviewed results were published in Yale’s reputable Journal of Conflict Resolution.
Advances in heart research.
While the studies faced initial skepticism, recent advancements in heart coherence and physics, including the 2022 Nobel Prize-winning research on quantum entanglement, invite us to reconsider the interconnectedness of our actions and their broader implications and the power we each have to claim inner agency while supporting the wellbeing of our communities.

WATER
💧 Water holds information and responds to its environment.
Do our thoughts, words, and intentions impact the environment around us?
We are expanding on a powerful concept of placing intention-infused plants throughout the community as a visual and energetic symbol of compassion.

HEART
💞 Heart Coherence Matters
“The future of medicine is the medicine of frequencies.” — Albert Einstein
Everything is energy—our thoughts, emotions, and intentions emit frequencies that influence not only our personal well-being but also the collective environment we share.
Our hearts play a pivotal role in processing emotions. When we experience positive feelings like love and gratitude, our heart rhythms become more coherent, leading to improved mental clarity and emotional stability. Psychology Today
COMMUNITY
🌏 The Power of Compassion: Local is Global
Research from Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education highlights the concept of a “collective field of compassion,” emphasizing how our shared emotional states can impact societal health and resilience.
A study found that patients who received a brief, compassionate preoperative visit from an anesthetist required up to 50% less post operative pain medication and experienced shorter hospital stays compared to those who did not receive such a visit . JAMA Network
