1.Introduction
From the moment I was told to choose a topic for my research
work, various doubts arose; from the continent to the content
going through the decision of which one could I affront and
resolve with guarantee. Once I took a decision, I realized that I
would not be an easy task, and that my decision was threatened
to be prolonged.
It was one weekend about a year ago that, by chance, I went
with my parents to a conference in Tarragona. The seminar was
offered in Holos, a centre dedicated to innovative research of
peoples health at physical, energetic, emotional, mental and
spiritual levels.
Although a priori seemed extremely boring, it ended not only
impressing, but captivating me, in the sense of how far could go
a subjective approach.
That conference was about the life and findings of Masaru
Emoto and various theories that he claimed, and I was introduced
to Masaru Emotos conception of the importance of water in our
lives, and the influence that we have on it. Thanks to Loli, to who
I am very grateful for all the information she gave me afterwards,
I became rapidly interested in this topic and this thirst for
knowledge led me to find out how water, the element that more
space occupies on earth and is so vital for humans and animals,
is a source of information with messages to give us if we are
willing to comprehend and believe
The same evening as I got home, I decided to share all the
mixed feelings I was emanating wih my parent, who not only
found it was a good idea, but encouraged me to find information
before making the final decision too make sure I felt comfortable
with the subject.
The same night, after two long hours and endless web pages, I
decided what would be the theme of my labour, which is none
other than Masaru Emotos approach of water.
Besides, the subject I was going to work with gave me the
possibility to conduct a physical experiment so I could observe
and analyze the results by myself.
Months later, I think I guessed right the choice I made and hope
that after this research, the subject will end up raising certain
passion between you the same way that it did to me.

Emoto undertook extensive research of water around the planet
not so much as a scientific researcher but more from the
perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it
was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true
nature. He continues with this experimentation and has written a
variety of books which most have been in Japanese as well as the
seminal Message from Water.

The major features of the scientific method are:
Objectivity: The scientific method tries to obtain knowledge
that accord with the reality of the object, which describe or
explain as it is and not as we would wish it to be. It leaves out
the subjective, how it feels or senses.
Rationality: Science uses reason as the essential weapon to
reach its results. Scientists work with concepts, judgments and
reasons, not sensations, images or impressions. The rationality of
science exists aside from religion and all systems where
elements are not rational.

It all started in 1994, when Emoto took samples of water from a
pure water source located in his country, froze a few droplets,
examined them under a dark field electron microscope and
photographed them. Once the photographs were revealed, they

All substances are composed of combinations of atoms. Atoms
are composed of electrons and atomic nuclei. Since electrons are
negative and the atomic nuclei is positive, electrons execute an
orbit around the nucleus at an ultra fast light emitting waves of
vibration. Hado is the intrinsic vibrational pattern at the atomic
level in all matter, the smallest unit of energy. Its basis is the
energy of human consciousness.

Dr. Emoto and his team adopted the following procedures: they
placed the distilled water between two speakers and put a
complete piece of music at normal volume. Give it a tap to the
bottom of the bottle with distilled water and let it stand
overnight. The following day, they would tap the bottom of the
bottle again to make crystals separate and the photographed
them.
Resonance is the transference of wave energy between similar
shapes and forms vibrating at the same frequency. Very powerful
energy transfers occur for identical frequencies. The music
played carries its message to the water by adding energy to
selected resonant frequencies.

A piece of deep thinking, which seems almost an ode to beauty.
Beethoven, Pastorale
This is one of the symphonies, most famous of Beethoven: it is
fresh and joyful. This beautiful crystal confirmed by the fact that
good music affects positively the water.
The Petri dishes used to contain the water samples were not
sealed. The implication is that the samples used in his
experiments could easily be contaminated by the environment or
even the researcher himself. One good example would be that
the photographers breath could affect the warming rate of the

and -10C to -22C ranges (red), while columns tend to form from
-3C to -10C and below -22C (green). Lower humidity tends to
form simpler crystal shapes, while higher humidity tends to form
more intricate crystals. It is currently not known why ice crystals
form different shapes at different temperatures, as the physics of
how the water molecules bond to a growing ice crystal are very
complex and not well understood.
Emoto has mentioned that in every test he would photograph
100 Petri dish samples, yet only one of each test was provided to
the public. It could have happened that the other 99 go all
against his hypothesis. He has successfully prevented the media
from uncovering the photos which did not support his research.
While Emoto has published his claim in one peer reviewed
journal, it has neither been substantiated nor disproved by
research scientists. It is worth noting that Emotos Journal article
is not a scientific report, but a three page long photo essay. Dr.
Emoto, himself, stated Even though my book, Message from
Water, was first published in 1999 and has been translated in
over 20 languages, I have not heard of anybody else conducting
similar research.
The only published reproduction of Emotos work on record was
conducted by Mr. Damian Nashs AP psychology class at Durango
High
School
in
Colorado.

5.1. Process
This is no more than anecdotic, but in order to prove whether
Emoto did his experiments biased or not and if it was true that
the vibrations that water samples received affected the
molecular structure of the water, I did it myself.
5.2 Result
After 12 hours, these are the frozen water glasses. There is no
big difference between them, but observing carefully, the edges
are slightly different; the glass labelled with Thank You, Love is
clearer than You Fool, Hate, whose edges have cracks.

6.1. Water, human and the earth
The human being appears physically in the land for the first
time when the ovum of the mother and the sperm of the father
meet and turn into a fertilized ovum. At this moment, the water
takes part of about 95 % of the ovum, that is to say, that this one
is mostly pure water. A mature body has a 70% of water, so its
what we are mostly made of. The earth is called the water planet,
as 70% of its surface its water, just as the human body. Most
part of the earths water like rain, underground currents, lakes
and rivers is in the sea; whats more, theres also water around
us, as clouds or fogs. Snow in the high mountains and Antarctic
ices are water too.
As Emoto deepened his research, he began to doubt about the
immaculacy of the water he was working with, and as a
consequence, what would that mean to the human body. Nobody
apart from an investigation institution of water know the answer;
to our eyes, water looks alike whichever that its composition is.
So Emoto questioned what was the difference in the information
that every kind of water contains? Is there anyway to get to know
that
difference?

7. Conclusion
Dr Emoto's pioneering research has provided sound evidence of
the impact of thoughts, words and feelings on the body through
the medium of water.
His research is yet to receive scientific recognition, because a
repetition of his experiments under standardised conditions has
failed; but after doing some research I have came up to the
conclusion that even if Emoto is not following the steps of the
scientific method and his methodology is considered subjective,
he still has made evidence of his investigation.
The evidence he has provided is physical, so that the results may
be refrutable by any other person that could supply results
obtained by an accepted method as the scientific one; but
Emotos study of water is pseudoscientific (considered false
science by all traditional scientists), and this means that his
discoveries cannot be proved by traditional science and,
therefore, may not be accepted for the scientific community.
I also think that the conclusions that he has arrived to are
possible, but that what changes the water molecules are the
intention of the pronounced words and the intensity of its
vibration and not the meaning of the words. For example, a
couple of opposed words like love and hate pronounced with
the same intention and vibration could produce the same change
in the molecules; and that means that its all because of the
speaker and not only of the meaning of the words.
As a final conclusion, Id rather say that Emoto is doing a great
job not only deepening in areas never studied so far but
transmitting his knowledge to all people, overcoming any
obstacle he may encounter.

Interview 1
Water Tells the Truth
An Exclusive Interview with Dr. Masaru Emoto
By Michelene K. Bell
Publisher, In Light Times
Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama in July, 1943. He is a
graduate of the Yokohama Municipal Universitys department of
humanities and sciences with a focus on International Relations.
In 1986 he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo. In October
of 1992 he received certification from the Open International
University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he
was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US
and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus
began to discover the mystery of water.
He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not
so much as a scientific researcher but more from the perspective
of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the
frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature. He has
gained worldwide acclaim through his groundbreaking research
and discovery that water is deeply connected to our individual
and collective consciousness.
He is the author of the best-selling books, Messages from Water,
The Hidden Messages in Water, and The True Power of Water. He
is a long-time advocate for peace in relation to water. He is
currently the head of the I.H.M. General Research Institute and
MKB: What do you mean when you say water has memory? Are
you saying it has intelligence?
Dr. Emoto: Water has a role to carry information, and I dont think
it has intelligence. In essence, water is a mirror of the human
mind. A mirror of humanity.
MKB: You mention in The Message from Water that our words,
thoughts, emotions, sounds, music and intentional prayer can
impact waters structure. So how do words like love, peace,
gratitude raise the vibrations of water?
Dr. Emoto: I am certain that such words raise the vibrations of
water, just as they raise the vibrations of people. After all, we are
made of water. I have found that when the vibration is very high,
a very delicate form of crystal is observed under the microscope.
The more delicate crystal you find, the higher vibration the water
contains. These words carry a high vibratory signature, that when
combined with human interaction, resonate at a very high level.
MKB: What type of words cause the most dramatic changes and
how?
Dr. Emoto: As I have expressed in my studies, it is the words
Love and Gratitude. Love is an active energy. Gratitude is a
passive energy. God created these two energies as Ying and Yang
in the beginning, when the world was created. Therefore, when
you present these vibrations to water, water will respond in a
profound way, and show you a very beautiful shape of a crystal.
MKB: You speak often of prayer. How does the act of praying
effect water?
Dr. Emoto: Physically speaking, the power of prayer can be
expressed as E=mc2, where E is total energy, m represents the
number of people, and c is consciousness. When the vibration
from this combination becomes unified, it is subtle and strong. I
believe, there is a supersonic effect. It is proven by some
scientists that after water is treated with supersonic waves of this
nature it becomes better water.
MKB: What words are associated with smaller clusters vs. larger
clusters?
Dr. Emoto: Negative phrases and words will create large clusters
while loving, positive words and phrases will form beautiful
crystal clusters. Slang phrases such as you fool can destroy the
process of clusters forming.
MKB: There have been cases when people drink too much water.
Society advocates eight glasses a day. Is this enough and what
happens if your body cannot process that much water?
Dr. Emoto: It might be dependent on the size of the glass. If the
volume is 200 ml, then 8 glasses is 1.6 litres. In this case, 8 to 10
glasses are standard and good. If there is too much water in your
body, then there might be swelling and over hydration. If your
body cannot process the water, it means that the kidneys cannot
process the water either. In this case, the kidneys are not
functioning well and you may need to undergo artificial dialysis.
So, take good care of your kidneys and drink the appropriate
amount of water for your body type.
MKB: Since our bodies are 75% water, how can we utilize water
to improve our health? Is it again based solely on our attitude,
intention/faith, visualizing or affirmations?
Dr. Emoto: We should give our love and gratitude to the food and
water that we take and then eat or drink it. We should also do the
same to the environment, people and all things around us, we
should give our love and gratitude as it will show us that
everything is a mirror of our thoughts, beliefs and intentions.
MKB: Since our bodies are 75% water, how can we utilize water
to improve our health? Is it again based solely on our attitude,
intention/faith, visualizing or affirmations?
Dr. Emoto: We should give our love and gratitude to the food and
water that we take and then eat or drink it. We should also do the
same to the environment, people and all things around us, we
should give our love and gratitude as it will show us that
everything is a mirror of our thoughts, beliefs and intentions.
MKB: Does the water form crystals only in the frozen state or is
there instant change when we place our intent through words,
prayers, thoughts or sounds?
Dr. Emoto: There is an instant change. Yet, if you want to see the
change as a very stable state in this third dimensional world, you
will need to observe the water in its crystalline state. Sensitive
people can feel this vibrational change.
the state of the planet and its people. I have shared this message
with children in over 70 countries. My childrens book has been
published in over 45 languages. My goal is to share this with all
nations across the world.
MKB: One last question. If you could impart to the world one
message, what would that be?
Dr. Emoto: The message would be the same as that to water. We
are all water. So to each other and to the waters of the world, the
message is simple. I am sorry, I thank you, I love you, and I
respect you. We should not forget these mindful expressions. I
am sorry. I thank you. I love you. I respect you.
MKB: It has been an honor and privilege. Thank you for your
time.
Interview 2
XLSemanal. Empecemos con el enigma ms importante de
todos: quin es Dan Brown? No ha concedido ninguna
entrevista durante seis aos...
Dan Brown. Y qu pasa si Dan Brown es un tipo aburrido?
XL. Lo es?
D.B. No lo s. Ya lo descubrir usted.
XL. Le ofrezco dos descripciones para que elija: Es un
blanco petulante y empolln o un sabelotodo con poco
pelo. Lo dijo usted. Se corresponden con la realidad?
D.B. S. Estudi aqu, en Exeter, en este internado de lite [en el
que transcurre la entrevista]. Crec aqu; mi padre era profesor
aqu, vivamos en una residencia estudiantil. Es una escuela muy
tradicional, sencilla. Soy de esas personas a las que les gusta
estudiar ms que el ftbol. El mundo cosmopolita de una gran
ciudad me resulta muy emocionante, pero no es mi mundo.
XL. Los catlicos se sintieron gravemente ofendidos con
su libro, luego se produjeron las acusaciones de plagio de
dos autores que aseguraban que les haba copiado parte
de la trama. El mundo esperaba una respuesta por su
parte, pero se retir.
D.B. En este mundo moderno se espera que los autores formen
parte del olimpo de los famosos. Yo prefiero no hacerlo. No me
preocupo por el dinero o la fama. No me veo como una estrella.
Mis libros son las estrellas.
XL. Por qu est haciendo esta entrevista entonces?
D.B. Estoy orgulloso del nuevo libro y quiero que los fans lo
sepan. Adems, ahora ya no estoy escribiendo; as que puedo
salir de mi capullo y ser durante un breve tiempo una figura
pblica. Luego volver a cerrar la puerta.
XL. Quiz me aproxime ms a usted si nos sumergimos en
su infancia. Nos encontramos en su hogar, Exeter. Un
mundo muy pequeo.
D.B. Exeter es muy polifactico, un crisol. Estudiantes de 40
pases vienen a este internado, los mejores de Kenia, Venezuela,
Taiwn... As que crec en un mundo multicultural, multitnico y
multiconfesional.
XL. Pero tambin es un mundo muy rico, privilegiado.
D.B. No lo es. Ms de la mitad de los alumnos vienen becados.
Yo tambin recib apoyo financiero. Mi padre era profesor y tena
tres hijos... no tenamos mucho dinero.
XL. Habran sido posibles sus novelas sin su padre?
Organizaba en casa juegos de buscar el tesoro...
D.B. Probablemente, no. Mis novelas son una gran bsqueda del
tesoro y, de nios, nos lo pasbamos de fbula resolviendo
enigmas ocultos.
XL. Incluso el pequeo Exeter tiene ese misterio de
hermandades secretas y logias masnicas que tan
importante papel desempean en su libro.
D.B. S, la logia estaba sobre el cine de la ciudad. Tena ese
extrao smbolo y las cortinas siempre echadas, nunca me
permitieron subir. Veamos entrar a la gente, pero nadie saba
qu hacan all arriba. Aquello siempre me fascin.
D.B. Exacto. Pensaron que les iba a dar una buena. Y lo habra
hecho si se hubiese sido el resultado de mis investigaciones.
Pero al final qued muy impresionado.
XL. Qu problemas le dar esta novela?
D.B. Que puedas cambiar el mundo con la fuerza de tu
pensamiento es una idea revolucionaria. Y tambin lo es que
podamos crear una nueva realidad si unimos nuestros
pensamientos y nos concentramos en ello.
XL. Suena a charlatanera esotrica.
D.B. S, eso dirn muchas personas. Pero adelanto que, en cinco
aos, mucha gente me dar la razn.
XL. Nunca expresa sus puntos de vista polticos.
Permtame que intente descifrarlo polticamente.
D.B. Prubelo. No desvelar nada.
XL. En su libro lanza dos claros mensajes: est contra la
tortura y por la tolerancia religiosa. Es posible entonces
que no le gustara el presidente George W. Bush?
D.B. Va muy lejos con sus interpretaciones. Para m, la tolerancia
religiosa es muy importante y, por supuesto, no deberamos
practicar la tortura, pero, para serle sincero, me pas encerrado
en mi novela todos los aos de la presidencia de Bush. No me
enter de nada.
XL. Ha eliminado de su biografa su fracasada carrera
como msico. Le resulta dolorosa?
D.B. No, en absoluto. Mi carrera musical desempea un papel
enorme cuando escribo. En la msica, todo gira en torno al ritmo
adecuado para conseguir una tensin, una dramaturgia. Y eso es
Interview 3.
REIKO: Have you found that distance made any difference when
people were praying over water? For example, if people in Japan
were to pray over water in Russia, would this be different from
people praying over water that is right in front of them?
DR. EMOTO: We have only experimented once with that in the
book. But from that experiment, distance did not seem to matter.
The intention and prayers of the person still influenced the water.
We have not yet tried further experiments from a long distance.
However, my feeling is that distance would not make much of a
difference. What would make a difference is the purity of intent
of the person doing the praying. The higher the purity of intent,
the less of a difference the distance itself would make.
REIKO: Have you seen any difference between one person
praying over water versus a whole group of people praying over
water?
DR. EMOTO: Since the water reflects the composite energy of
what is being sent to it, the crystalline structure reflects the
composite vibrations of the group. So one person praying reflects
the energy or intention of that one person. In terms of how
powerful the effect can be, if you have one person praying with a
deep sense of clarity and purity, the crystalline structure will be
clear and pure. And even though you may have a large group of
people, if their intention as a group is not cohesive, you end up
with an incohesive structure in the water. However, if everyone is
united together, you will find a clear, beautiful crystal, like one
created by the prayer of a single person of deep purity.
In one of our experiments, we had some water on a table, and 17
participants all stood in a circle around a table holding hands.
Then each of the participants spoke a beautiful word of their
choice to the water. Words like unity, love, and friendship. We
DR. EMOTO: We have not tried this, but some people who have
read the book are experimenting with bottling tap water and
taping words like "love" and "appreciation" on the bottle and
using that water to water their plants, or to put cut flowers in.
They are finding that their cut flowers are lasting much longer,
and that the plants in the garden are much more radiant.
REIKO: Once a certain vibration is introduced to the water, how
long does the water "remember" that crystalline structure?
DR. EMOTO: This will be different depending on the original
structure of the water itself. Tap water will lose its memory
quickly. We refer to the crystalline structure of water as
"clusters." The smaller the clusters, the longer the water will
retain its memory. If there is too much space between the
clusters, other information could easily infiltrate this space,
making it hard for the clusters to hold the integrity of the
information. Other micro-organisms could also enter this space. A
tight bonding structure is best for maintaining the integrity of
information.
REIKO: What kind of words would create smaller clusters and
what kind of words would create larger clusters?
DR. EMOTO: Slang words like "you fool" destroy clusters. You
would not see any crystals in these cases. Negative phrases and
words create large clusters or will not form clusters, and positive,
beautiful words and phrases create small, tight clusters.
REIKO: You say that some negatives do not form clusters, but we
see from your photos that they do still form characteristic
patterns. How would you classify these patterns?
nothing here. So these souls can return to their native homes for
awhile. That is sattori, or enlightenment. However, most people
on the planet are not able to attain enlightenment. To reach
enlightenment means to be able to completely let go of the ego
and our worldly attachments.
In the past 100 years the world's population has increased from 1
billion to 6 billion. During these 100 years, war and capitalism
has dominated the planet. Rather than being able to detach from
our desires, the opposite has been true. Our desires have grown
and grown. Very few people have been able to attain
enlightenment in this environment. Few souls have been able to
go "home" and I believe they have remained on Earth in the form
of water. This connects into the concept of reincarnation, where
these spirits keep falling back to Earth and need to redo their
lives here.
REIKO: So when a person dies, if they are unable to attain sattori
at that time, their soul remains on this planet as water?
DR. EMOTO: That is what I believe, yes. The Japanese character
for spirit is a combination of the words "rain" and "soul." People
who have seen ghosts report seeing them in water or in places
where there is a lot of humidity. It's as if the imprint of the soul,
which is in the form of water, suddenly takes form when
surrounded by water or moisture -- much like a mirage.
And so, looking at the pictures of the water crystals and the
impact they are having, I came to the realization that these
themselves are ghosts. Up until now, I had thought of ghosts as
something to be frightened of, something that we could do
nothing about. But watching these crystals, I realized that by
simply projecting beautiful music and words onto them, the
crystals or ghosts become beautiful.

Article 1
Double-Blind Test of the Effects of Distant Intention on
Water Crystal Formation
The hypothesis that water treated with intention can affect ice
crystals formed from that water was pilot tested under doubleblind conditions. A group of approximately 2,000 people in Tokyo
result in more pleasing crystal shapes. If this effect was not due
to obvious subjective biases, then what else might have
accounted for the results?
Could the image assessment process have introduced a
systematic rating bias? This question arises because each rater
examined 40 crystal photos without prior training on the
meaning of aesthetically beautiful. If the sequence in which
raters observed these images was in a fixed order, then this
might well have introduced an artifact. However, this possibility
was specifically prevented by presenting the images in a newly
randomized order for each rater, thus averaging out potential
sequential effects.
Another concern may be that the scales used to assess beauty,
which were based on ordinal rather than interval measurements,
violated the ttest assumption of an underlying normal
distribution. This potential problem was ameliorated by using
scores averaged across 100 raters, but parametric assumptions
can be completely avoided by using a nonparametric
statistic. The method we used compared the observed mean
difference in ratings between treated and control crystal images
to the same mean difference determined after randomly
reassigning which images belonged to the treated and control
conditions. The original mean difference was larger than 999 out
of 1,000 randomly reassigned differences, thus the
associated P value was P = .001, virtually identical to the results
of the t test.
One might ask whether a new group of raters would replicate the
initial results. This was tested by examining the results provided

However, on two occasions she didn't like the taste of the water
exposed to the word "live" and she muscle tested weak on this.
When asked later how she felt about dying she answered that
she was quite happy about the thought of it. By contrast, living
was a challenge at the time because she was about to retire and
was not sure about her financial future.

health and vitality. Besides drinking this energized water, one can
also externally convey information to the body using structured
water patches over selected acupuncture/meriderian points.
Research studies are increasing demonstrating the power of the
information in structured water to not only heal but to enhance
one's stamina and performance.
