Depends on whether you use general science, or ascribe to ideas like cymatics.

In a cymatic universe, full of vibration, everything vibrates.

Even an emotion has it's own vibration. If someone is sad, your empathy for them, vibrating at their own emotional rate allows a shared experience and at times a lift, even a cancellation.

So your replacement for oxygen might not even be necessary. If you hit the H2O (specifically) with emotion, you can change how it behaves.

Dr Emoto's work with this, represented in frozen water crystals is breath taking.
