Through the groundbreaking work of internationally known Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto, we will never look at water in the same way again.

Dr. Emoto challenged prevailing ideas of illness with his book The Hidden Messages in Water, which demonstrated that molecules of water are affected by thoughts, words, and feelings, and that water contains extraordinary therapeutic powers unrecognized by Western medicine.

In 1994, Dr. Emoto produced ground-breaking work on the effects of exposing water to different words, music, pictures, and photographs. In his best selling books, “The Hidden Messages in Water” and “The True Power of Water,” Dr. Emoto presented the findings of his research. Water was exposed to specific words such as “love,” “you fool,” “stress,” “happiness,” and “unhappiness.” The water was then frozen and the crystalline structure of water during the freezing process then photographed. It was discovered that the water crystals were dramatically affected depending on the words that the water was exposed to. Water exposed to positive words, music and imagery formed beautiful crystals, while water exposed to negative words, music and imagery formed distorted, unbalanced, and broken images. Emoto also noted that the same word used in different languages formed very similar though not exact crystalline structures, which suggests that water responds to the "essence" of the word and its nature and understanding by the mass consciousness.

In The True Power of Water, Dr. Emoto took this research one step further by exploring the healing power of water - for example, the curative capabilities of water, the capability of prayer to change water, the response of water to music, and how an individual can promote the purity of rainwater. He explores the limitations of Western medicine and explains how many conditions that are thought of as hereditary may not necessarily be so.

He explores the limitations of Western medicine and explains how many conditions that are thought of as hereditary may not necessarily be so. Written for a wide range of audiences, from cultural creatives to advocates for natural living, The True Power of Water shows how this most basic liquid that is called the foundation of life also holds the key to sustained good health and well-being.

Considering that approximately 70% of the human body is composed of water, it is staggering to consider the effect of our daily thoughts on the water molecules within our bodies and the power inherent within each of us to heal and transform ourselves via the quality of our thoughts and the words we use.

Example of Experiment

Emoto took bottles of water and taped a word or phrase on each of them.

Sometimes he’d use music or even just intentioned thoughts associated with an emotion -- love, appreciation, hate, gratitude, anger, etc.

The positive messages consistently created symmetrical, beautiful, snowflake-like formations, while the negative thoughts produced chaotic and disturbed formations, with no order or pattern.

The Emoto Peace Project

Dr. Emoto conducts seminars throughout the world to share the importance, understanding and appreciation of water. On May 26, 2005, he spoke as a keynote speaker at a conference held in the United Nations Headquarters, Conference Room 1, Organized by the Spiritual Dimensions of Science and Consciousness Subcommittee of the NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns. There he introduced the idea for Emoto Peace Project.

With the picture book version for children “The Message from Water,” the Emoto Peace Project aims at sharing the possibility to realize world peace through that has been learned through the research on water. Written in a fun and enjoyable way, this book is being given to children around the world for free in the hope that they find the importance of water and the true nature of us human beings. This effort is called “Emoto Peace Project,” with the hope that this book will be translated into many languages and take a step towards helping the younger generation to realize the goal of word peace.

ABOUT MASARU EMOTO

Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama in July 1943. He is a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University's 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 through. 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 President Emeritus of the International Water for Life Foundation, a Not for Profit Organization.
