The Message from Water
See how spoken and written words change the structure of water. This ground breaking work from Dr Masuro Emoto shows us that what we say, and feel and well as what we listen to has an effect on water, and because we are made up of water, it has an effect on us. Wonderful color photography shows how water reacts in the pressence of both spoken and written words. This imagry was recently utilized in the movie What The Bleep Do we Know. This work has also been referenced by Wayne Dyer, Lee Carol, Gregg Braden, Drunvalo Melchizedek, and Jonathan Goldman to name a few.

This was a really interesting book. I had the bilingual version and enjoyed reading both the Japanese and English (not that I could read all of the Japanese but it was fun to try). I'm not a believer in this kind of thing in general, but the data was convincingly presented. I'd like to believe it.
I'm going to be more specific now, but since I no longer have the book (sent it to an interested party in South Africa -- worldwide interest!), I will probably not make a very convincing critique. Nevertheless, here it goes. Emoto documents well that exposure to certain kinds of music causes water crystals to become disorganized. Fine, I believe that, but I want to know what the physical reason behind it is. Is it the volume? (I no longer remember if he controlled for volume, sorry). Is it certain harmonics, or certain single frequencies? Is it the instrumentation (again, harmonics, or perhaps electronic versus acoustic music, and what are the physical differences in the sound waves there?) Is is the speed of the music, and if so, what is the underlying difference transmitted to water in that case? What, specifically, is it about the music that can affect something on the molecular level?
Emoto showed that exposure to hostile words affects water crystals similarly. Again, I need more information. I personally do not believe that water has intelligence and is thus conditioned to understand which words are hostile and which are not, as humans are. So I need a different explanation. As I recall, it was not just spoken words but also written words that led to disorganized crystal structures. Spoken word analysis might show that certain phonemes (and hence frequencies) are damaging, and that would be really interesting, to see if the same sounds occur across various languages in their hostile vocabularies. But written words? I don't believe that hostility emanates from paper to water. I need more of an explanation for that phenomenon. I believe the phenomenon could exist, and I believe hostility is damaging to everything, but I really want more of an expalanation to the molecular mechanics. Intelligence of water is not convincing to me. So, I enjoyed the book, hope it's data is an actual representation, but I want to see more analysis, that's all.

Amazing!! If you watched the movie "What the Bleep do we Know" you've seen the photographs of crystals in water, and how we affect the waters crystals. It is groundbreaking to think our thoughts have such power. Now if only we can use it for good!

this is absolutely fascinating.
we should all be reading this one again and again.
then we would all be very nice ALL THE TIME. good reminder of the affect of thoughts and intentions.

This is an incredible book. It's amazing the effect words have on the water's crystals.
