Book Review: Hidden Messages in Water
This is an extremely interesting book written by Masaru Emoto. It makes you think twice about what water really is.
I first heard about this book after watching the movie, ‘What the Bleep Do We Know!?’ In the movie the lead character (Marlee Matlin) is in the subway where a tour guide is discussing the knowledge gained from Masaru Emoto’s research. Check out the clip below.
In his book, Emoto explains his theory, that water, exposed to positive thoughts, picutres, music and words forms beautiful complete crystals, while exposure to negative thoughts and words form ugly or incomplete crystals.
The basis of his experiments was to have words, either written or spoken, to a sample of water - sometimes distilled or tap, freeze it, then take photographs of the resulting crystals if there were any.
He discovered that the words ‘love and gratitude’ formed the most perfect crystals when written on paper and taped to the bottle of water for the water to ‘read’. Defective water crystals were formed on exposure to phrases such as “You Fool” and “Do It”. He noted that distilled and spring water made the most crystals.
Emoto used these finding to explain that because human beings are 60 - 70% water in adulthood, that we should treat each other with kind words and show ‘love and gratitude’ to all. He also stated that everything has it’s own vibration, which can be felt by some people. Vibration and resonance seem to be a common thread in the books I’ve read so far.
In addition to words, he also played various types of music for the water, finding that classical music resulted in beautiful crystals, and heavy metal created ugly ones.
Here’s another video that explains the positive and negative energy effects on water crystals:
