    About this ebook

    In this New York Times bestseller, internationally renowned Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto shows how the influence of our thoughts, words and feelings on molecules of water can positively impact the earth and our personal health.

    This book has the potential to profoundly transform your world view. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health.

      This is a very amazing book.... Dr. Masaru Emoto went around the world photographing water crystals.....

      He also photographed water crystals that had been exposed to words, photographs, and music....

      The photographs show the beauty or lack thereof (deformity) of the water crystals in response to the stimuli.

      Great book, a must read! I was amazed by the images on the water crystals. Humans are 70% water. Be mindful of what you say and think about yourself.

      I thought this book was amazing and definitely should be read by all! It made me see the world in a new light. We do really make an impact on our world in positive and negative ways and if we all were able to see it we could start healing it starting with water.

      Emoto has taken a common concept - that we are all connected through our vibrations - to a new level with his research into water. His work has been to photograph water crystals that have been exposed to different positive or negative impacts through images, music, and talking. The book contains a lot of lovely photographs and is a pretty quick read. Water crystals exposed to positive impacts are more beautiful than water crystals exposed to negative impacts. Emoto's argument is that we must ensure that we understand that something as simple as a negative thought can have an impact on the entire universe.
    • 4/5
      Beautiful photographs. Emoto's message is well taken. It will be great when the technology to photograph water crystals becomes more widely available --it would make for some fun experiments with words.
    • 4/5
      This is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Since reading it, I have been known to hold a bottle of water up to my mouth and whisper, "I love you", before drinking.
    • 5/5
      This book speaks to the power of love and kindness. They make a difference to the person being loving and kind and to the entire universe. Conversely, so does being unkind and unloving. What one does affects not only him or herself, the energy behind it travels all over the universe. We tend to think that government should play a role in justice for all, but justice, equity and all the other things we look for outside ourselves start with us. We make a difference to the world's energy every time we choose to be positive or negative; every time we choose a behavior. We are so impactful as individuals. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out my purpose in life, how can I make a difference, where is my stride (and I stiil do it) but this book has taken me closer to realizing that the difference I make is in each moment I live- am I being kind and loving or not. Every day I get a chance to contirbute to the the well-being of mankind by MY words, MY actions, MY thoughts, MY interactions. In this individual journey, I do inherently make a difference to the world. I loved this book.
    • 4/5
      I found the photographs of water crystals which heard music to be one of the most interesting parts of the book. They often formed to reflect the lyrics and vibration of a song. The "Heartbreak Hotel" crystal was split down the center, as if breaking in half. Others weren't as literal, but beautiful none-the-less.
    • 5/5
      This is really fascinating. Water is given positive thought forms and forms beautiful crystals when frozen and photographed, and negative thought forms bring badly formed crystals. Water is more than something we drink. After reading this book, you will never see water in the same way.

    The Hidden Messages in Water - Masaru Emoto

    PROLOGUE

    As you begin reading this book, I’d like to ask you to evaluate your life. More specifically, I’d like you to ask yourself if you are happy.

    Of course, your definition of happiness will depend upon who you are—but do you have a sense of peace in your heart, a feeling of security about your future, and a feeling of anticipation when you wake up in the morning? If we can call this happiness, then would you say that at this moment you are happy?

    I think I can safely say that not many people will be able to reply with a resounding yes. Most people are unable to say that their life is everything they had hoped it would be. What is it that causes us so much pain? What is going on in the world that prevents so many people from simply being happy?

    It seems to me that we are living in an age of chaos. Chaos describes a condition of confusion, indicative of the unorganized matter that existed before the creation of the cosmos.

    Simply by going about our lives, we find ourselves worn out and fatigued. Newspapers and television bombard us with information, and at work we face problems and misunderstandings. The sources of our problems seem numerous and overwhelming.

    This is likely to be a fact of life no matter where in the world we go. This tiny planet of ours is covered with economic conflict, domestic discord, ethnic prejudice, environmental distress, religious wars, and every other type of problem imaginable. And all the bad news about people suffering, people enjoying the suffering, people getting richer, people getting poorer, the oppressed and the oppressors, reaches us within a matter of seconds from the opposite side of the globe.

    Who, might we ask, is responsible for all this suffering? The world is becoming an ever more divided, estranged, and complicated place to live. We are already up to our necks in chaos, but the world’s troubles seem to be getting deeper and deeper.

    One thing we all have in common is that we are looking for a way out. Everyone is looking for an answer—and it is an answer so simple and effective that it has heretofore eluded us.

    So what is the cause of all this chaos? What is at the center of it all? Whatever it is, it is pushing the world away from harmony and towards discord.

    Perhaps this is an inevitable phenomenon. Though we all belong to the same species, if we live in different places and in different skin ways, the way we think is bound to be different.

    And to make matters worse, most people have difficulty accepting things that are unlike the things around them. The result is a neverending process of troubles and suffering. It would seem that as long as people are people, any solution proposed is certain to come up short.

    And so now we are back where we started. Can there ever be a single solution that can apply to all people on the globe, that everyone can be convinced of, and that is so simple that everyone can understand it?

    In fact, I have found the answer, and it is just this: The average human body is 70 percent water.

    We start out life being 99 percent water, as fetuses. When we are born, we are 90 percent water, and by the time we reach adulthood we are down to 70 percent. If we die of old age, we will probably be about 50 percent water. In other words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as water.

    From a physical perspective, humans are water. When I realized this and started to look at the world from this perspective, I began to see things in a whole new way.

    First, I realized that this connection to water applies to all peoples. Therefore, what I am about to say applies to everyone, all over the world.

    I believe I am also starting to see the way that people should live their lives. So how can people live happy and healthy lives? The answer is to purify the water that makes up 70 percent of your body.

    Water in a river remains pure because it is moving. When water becomes trapped, it dies. Therefore, water must constantly be circulated. The water—or blood—in the bodies of the sick is usually stagnant. When blood stops flowing, the body starts to decay, and if the blood in your brain stops, it can be life threatening.

    But why does blood become stagnant? We can see this condition as the stagnation of the emotions. Modern researchers have shown that the condition of the mind has a direct impact on the condition of the body. When you are living a full and enjoyable life, you feel better physically, and when your life is filled with struggles and sorrow, your body knows it.

    So when your emotions flow throughout your body, you feel a sense of joy and you move towards physical health.

    Moving, changing, flowing—this is what life is all about.

    If we consider that before we became human beings, we existed as water, we get closer to finding the answer to the basic question of what a human being is. If we have a clear understanding of water, we will better understand the human body, and even unlock the mystery of why we were born and exist as we do.

    So just what is water? Your first answer might be that it is a life force. If we lose 50 percent of the water in our bodies, we can no longer maintain life. Water, carried by blood and bodily fluids, is the means by which nourishment is circulated throughout our bodies. This flow of water enables us to live active lives. Water serves as the transporter of energy throughout our body.

    This transport of energy is similar to a freight car that moves throughout the body. If the body is clogged and soiled, then the cargo in the freight car will also become filthy, and so it is essential that water always remain clean.

    More now than in the past, the medical community has begun to see water as a transporter of energy, and it is even being used in the treatment of illness. Homeopathy is one such field where the value of water is recognized.

    Homeopathy originated in Germany in the first half of the nineteenth century with the work of Samuel Hahnemann (1791-1843), but its roots go back to the father of medicine, Hippocrates (c. 460—c. 370 BC), who wrote down many treatments similar to those promoted by homeopathy. In a word, these pioneers of medicine taught us to treat like with like, fight poison with poison.

    For example, if someone is suffering from lead poisoning, symptoms can be alleviated by drinking water with the minutest amount of lead in it—an amount ranging 1 part in 10¹² (one trillion) to 1 part in 10⁴⁰⁰!

    At this level, the matter no longer for practical purposes remains in the water, but the characteristics of the matter do remain, and this forms the medicine for treating lead poisoning.

    Homeopathy proposes that the greater the dilution, the greater the effectiveness. The logical conclusion is that the denser the poison in the body, the higher should be the dilution ratio.

    Another way to express this idea is that, instead of the effect of the matter being used to get rid of the symptoms, the information copied to the water is being used to cancel out the information of the symptoms from the poison.

    So water has the ability to copy and memorize information. We may also say that the water of the oceans has memories of the creatures that live in the ocean. The earth’s glaciers may well contain millions of years of the planet’s history.

    Water circulates around the globe, flowing through our bodies and spreading to the rest of the world. If we were capable of reading this information contained in the memory of water, we would read a story of epic proportions.

    To understand water is to understand the cosmos, the marvels of nature, and life itself.

    I have studied water for many years. The realization that water has the ability to copy information has changed my life. After making this discovery in America, I brought it back with me to Japan, and have since used the information-copying function of water to help people recover their health.

    At that time, however, doctors would not even consider the possibility that water by itself had healing capabilities. I was and am fully convinced that water is able to memorize and transport information, but this suggestion has been met with complete rejection by the medical community.

    In 1988, the French scientist Jacques Benveniste undertook an experiment to test the
