When was the last time you looked at a glass of water and thought, “This might change my life”?
If your answer is “never,” you’re not alone. Most of us see water as a basic necessity, important for survival, but not exactly a spiritual tool. That perspective was thoroughly shaken when Michael Hobson joined The Skeptic Metaphysicians podcast to share a startling revelation: water may not just carry hydration...it may carry consciousness, memory, and intention.
Hobson’s journey from econometrics professor and vinyl-recording pioneer to founder of Aquene Springs, a source of silica-rich “programmable” water in Idaho, has been anything but ordinary. His insights might just rewire the way you relate to the most essential substance on Earth.
We Are Water, Talking to Water
“By volume, human beings are about 70% water,” Hobson explained. “But if you count the molecules in our bodies, we’re about 99.99% water. So right now, we’re water… speaking to water.”
Let that sink in.
This foundational perspective underlies Hobson’s work: water is not just a backdrop to life...it is life. He believes we are not our bodies, but consciousness flowing through these water-based vessels.
“Life is water dancing to the tune of God,” he says. It’s a poetic reframe of Nobel Laureate Albert Szent-Györgyi’s famous line: “Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.”
Discovering Aquene Springs: A Spring That Found Him
Michael’s water journey wasn’t planned, it was guided.
“I was not a water guy,” he admitted. “If I got thirsty, I drank it, but I wasn’t thinking about it deeply. But then I started learning about frequency, vibration, water memory… and then I heard about this spring in Idaho.”
That spring, known to Indigenous people for generations as Crystal Spring, turned out to be extraordinary: water emerges at 139°F, flowing at 80 gallons per minute, completely untouched by modern contamination.
“It’s what’s called primary water...water that’s actually made inside the Earth, not part of the usual hydrologic cycle.”
What Is Water Memory?
Hobson’s philosophy is rooted in the controversial and intriguing concept of water memory, the idea that water retains information about substances or energies it has come into contact with, even after they are no longer physically present.
He referenced the work of Jacques Benveniste and Marcel Vogel, both pioneers in exploring how water can hold vibrational patterns, much like magnetic tape. This isn’t fringe to Hobson; it’s functional.
“Water hears everything,” he said. “It absorbs everything it comes into contact with. You can filter out a chemical… but not the frequency or vibratory pattern it left behind.”
Why Municipal Water May Be Blocking Your Spiritual Growth
“We’re often drinking water that’s already encoded with stress, toxins, and fear,” Hobson warned. “Tap water might be chemically filtered, but the energy of what it passed through is still there.”
He explained that municipal water passes through metal pipes, treatment plants, and possibly even recycled pharmaceutical waste. Though it may be safe by EPA standards, energetically, it could carry frequencies that are incoherent or disruptive.
“Municipal water may keep us alive, but it doesn’t help us thrive,” he said.
The Role of Silica: Detox and Energetic Conduction
One reason Aquene Springs water is unique is its high silica content, visible in sparkling, crystalline form when held to the light.
“Silica helps detox aluminum from the body,” Hobson shared. “And it’s bioavailable in water more than anywhere else.”
External research supports this: studies have shown that drinking silica-rich water can reduce the body’s aluminum load, which is being studied as a potential contributor to Alzheimer’s and other neurological conditions (source: The Lancet Neurology, 2004).
But Hobson takes it further:
“Silicon is the basis for semiconductors. So with enough silica, we become better conductors of energy, of thought, of frequency, of life itself.”
How to Program Your Water (Michael’s 5-Step Method)
Hobson believes that water, especially pure, low-memory water like his, can be actively programmed through human intention. Here are the steps he recommends:
Speak Your Intention into the Water
“Words are the vibratory equivalents of thought,” he said.
Say something simple like, “I am healed,” or “I invite peace.” Speak from your heart.
Visualize the Outcome
Hold the water and imagine the reality you desire—healing, abundance, clarity. See it as already real.
Feel Love or Gratitude
Focus on your heart center. Hobson notes that the heart emits the strongest magnetic field in the body, amplifying your programming.
Pulse Your Breath
Inspired by Marcel Vogel, Hobson uses a short, intentional breath—like a gentle puff—to “lock” the intention in.
Drink With Awareness
“Then I drink my own thoughts,” Hobson said. “And it changes how I move through the world.”
He’s even seen pain vanish in moments using this technique.
Can You Reprogram “Dirty” Water?
Yes. Hobson says you can also clear water of harmful frequencies.
He recommends holding your glass and saying something like:
“I clear this water of all that no longer serves. I restore it to purity and light.”
According to him, intention is everything. The water listens.
The Brain, Thought, and Hydration
Another profound insight from Hobson: our thoughts are electrical impulses, and the body’s ability to transmit those impulses depends on water.
“As we age, we dehydrate,” he noted. “Babies are 85–90% water. The elderly? Around 60–65%.”
This dehydration impacts memory, cognition, and communication between cells. Rehydration with structured, energized water may support brain function—at least anecdotally. Hobson reports that since drinking his water, his ability to sense and manage physical pain has transformed.
RESEARCH CORNER: The Science of Vibration and Water
Credible research supporting the idea of energetic influence on water includes:
-
Pollack’s “Fourth Phase of Water” (EZ Water): A semi-structured, gel-like water that stores energy and behaves differently from liquid water. It’s being studied for its biological and energetic implications (source).
-
Magnetized Water Studies: Magnetized water has shown physiological effects in some animal and human studies, such as insulin sensitivity improvement (source).
-
Water Crystal Photography (Masaru Emoto): Though not accepted by mainstream science, Emoto’s images of water crystals responding to loving or hateful words have inspired millions. Hobson references similar principles.
A Mantra to Start Your Practice
Michael shared the daily mantra he speaks into his water:
“I am that I am. I love my Creator, who is the light and love in me. I am He. He is me. We are. Let me be filled with love for everything and everyone in this universe.”
He says it’s not about perfection—it’s about practice. Presence. Intention.
What If You Just Try?
Even if you’re skeptical, Hobson encourages everyone to try.
“You don’t have to believe anything. Just experiment,” he said. “Talk to your water. Feel the difference. You’ll know.”
And you don’t need to order fancy water to start. You can begin right now with whatever water you have access to.

Final Thoughts: What If Water Is Listening?
What if every sip of water is a conversation with your body?
What if every intention you set could be encoded into the most fundamental element of your being?
What if the key to unlocking greater healing, awareness, and awakening… was sitting quietly in your glass?
As Hobson put it:
“Water is here to serve. All we have to do is ask.”
