The Hidden Messages in Water

Nice pictures...but...

This book has nice pictures but the problem is that is purports to be science, when it is in fact nothing of the sort. He jumps to conclusions that he considers to be scientific when he is not even using scientific methods in his evaluation of water crystals. If you read this book, you just need to keep it in perspective and remember that what is being said lacks justification.

Loved It

I really enjoy Dr. Emoto's books!

(When teaching my class) - when we discuss how words/sounds affects us, I pull out Dr. Emoto's books - his books pretty much tell the whole story.

Profound!

This is a wonderful book. I feel that every citizen of this planet would benefit from reading this. I use the water crystal cards all the time.

Good reading

It gave me much to think about.

Beautiful!

Something completely new and different -- useful and helpful.

wow

Never have I came across a book, so easy to read and understand, yet has the ability to alter the way you perceive the world around you.

excellent !!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It may not be as scientific as some people might like. However it has great insight as to how our words can effect the world.

a reviewer

I have read many books in this genre. There are few that stand out. This is one of them. (Victoria Tunnermann's Islands of the Soul: A Guide to Personal Truth and Happiness, is another.) It spoke to me at a deep level, and reminded me of the important, often neglected parts of myself. I would recommend both of these books to anyone. The answers are right in front of us!

The Water God

This book is inspirational and provides one piece of the puzzle of the mystery of life. I read it just after finishing 'The Divine Code' by Kazuo Murakami. Both books conclude that the secret to a more healthy and happy life is positive thinking and gratitude. There are thousands of more complex spiritual books available, but if you are limited in time, I recommend this book to give your life more meaning. A concept presented by Emoto with which I disagree is that our soul is contained in water. I just finished a book with a much more compelling concept of the soul called 'This Side of the Gate' by John P. Johnston. I read it along with Murakami's and Emoto's books. Johnston's book is by far the most intriguing and thought-provoking. Just what is the soul? Without going 'Ken Wilbur' on us, Johnston presents insights into the soul, karma, and reincarnation which complements the other two books. I recommend reading all three books concurrently.

WOW!

So very fascinating, the photos alone are incredible, the text, compelling!

Great Mystery of Nature

This book really captured my imagination with its photos and enigmatic phenomena. I see that we are very far from understanding this world but we keep on trying. Highly recommended incredible book!

magical H2O

If you haven¿t seen the film (it¿s out on DVD right now), then you¿ll be amazed to see Emoto¿s new book, The Hidden Messages in Water. Back in the `90s, Emoto -scientific researcher, doctor of alternative medicine and lecturer - discovered that water exposed to words, photographs and music were enormously affected on it as evidenced by the crystals that formed when the water was frozen. When the water was exposed to loving positive words and music, the crystals formed vibrantly-coloured complex and complete snowflake patterns. Under negative exposure the patterns were dull in colour and incomplete, often chaotic. In 1999, unable to get his fascinating results published, Emoto resorted to simply printing out his now famous high-speed photographs, selling them and giving them away in an effort to deliver his beautiful message. Having self-published three books now ( The Message of Water I, II and III), Emoto finally saw his dicovery published last year as The Hidden Messages in Water. Although this book has only a small portion of the actual photographs, the cover alone caused shivers to go right up into my scalp. Truth has that effect. If we, like ,the planet are made up of 70% water, then Emoto strongly suggests that we should therefore be able to heal ourselves and the planet by conscious loving. If water is, as has been defined, the interface between the dimensions in which we live and the dimensions of our soul, then we cannot ignore this clear vision.

Captivating

I found this book captivting in the most positive way. It is simply incredible, easy to read, and fasinating.

Dramatic Photos of Effects of Thoughts on Water

THE HIDDEN MESSAGES IN WATER is packed with photographs of water droplets which have been frozen for two hours and magnified 200 to 500 times. These large, glossy photos look something like snowflakes, where no two images are identical -- yet certain patterns become immediately apparent. Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto describes in this book how his original quest to depict the natural beauty of water led him to discover that clean, pure water from natural unpolluted sources looks much more brilliant in color and more symmetrical in shape than chemically treated or polluted water. This assertion is made abundantly clear when one views the various images in this book and sees for oneself how chemically treated water crystals appear dark and misshapen while clean water appears bright and jewel- like. Emoto could have stopped his research there and still had an amazing book, but he continued his ground-breaking research to experiment with treating water with a variety of phrases, music, and prayer -- showing how our words, thoughts, and feelings have a visceral effect on water. This extraordinary book is a must for anyone who wishes to see for themselves what effect pollution and stressful thoughts and feelings are having on Earth's water -- and how we can change these effects with meditation, prayer, healing words, and music. Since most of our bodies and most of the surface of the Earth is made of water, THE HIDDEN MESSAGES IN WATER has tremendous significance for us all.

Great ideas and pictures and implications

A fun book that helps me believe in the power of words and thoughts and objects and things to affect the world and others. This makes a good coffee table book as well as a very interesting read.

A must read for everyone.

This is a profound book that is a must-read for anyone interested in the universe and how it works. Emoto writes in an easy-to-read style that is amazingly captivating, considering the depth of the topics he delves into. Frankly, I couldn't put it down until I finished it, which was in two days. My 18 year old daughter has since run away with it. A profound and deeply touching book! I highly recommend it.

This will blow your mind and change the way you view everything.

Simply amazing. Check it out.

Very Interesting Work!

This book provides us with some observable data to support the idea that living beings are not the only things that have consciousness. Other researchers have discussed evidence to support the idea that humans, cats, and other animals as well as various plants respond to our emotional expressions. If we interact with them with love, they will let down their defensiveness and adapt to their environment and thrive. If we interact with them with anger, they will become defensive to protect themselves. It is then not too much of a stretch to imagine that water molecules respond to our emotional expressions in similar ways as well. After all, water molecules are just further down the line on the evolutionary ladder if we think of the evolution of matter itself. An absolutely stunning book that illustrates this nicely is a book called 'The Ever-Transcending Spirit' by Toru Sato. If you read the book by Sato, you will realize that all of this fits in very nicely into a systems approach to evolution. Masaru Emoto shows us one aspect of how matter with various levels of consciousness interacts with each other even though it is not readily noticeable in everyday life. I think this is very interesting work and would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the relationships between matter and consciousness.
