The True Power of Water

I have spent the last week and a half reading a short book (paperback 145 small pages) titled The True Power of Water by Masaru Emoto (Atria Books, 2003).

The premise is that water at a certain temperature will form water crystals that can be photographed. The formation of these crystals will reflect a variety of conditions and can be influenced by

our words

our prayers

a printed label (which the water "reads")

a musical composition

and even emotions

we feel when not in the presence of the particular water under observtion. I found it an interesting concept. The book contains photographs of water crystals observed under different conditions.

The most interesting theory in the book is that we can change the quality of water which in turn can be used for healing us. Emoto who is certified in Alternative Medicine tells us that, by changing the frequency of the water, it can be altered to fill in the gaps in our own bodily frequencies and thus heal the problem that is causing us physical distress at the cellular (water) level.

I won't go further into Emoto's theses. If you're really interested in his ideas, find a copy of the book and read it. It's concise and well-translated into English from Japanese. There are ways to experiment with his ideas contained within and might be entertaining/enlightening.
