Publisher's Summary

The Hidden Messages in Water is an eye-opening theory about water's deep connection to people's individual and collective consciousness. Drawing from his own discoveries, scientific researcher, healer, and popular lecturer Dr. Masaru Emoto describes the ability of water to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. Using high-speed photography, he found that crystals formed in ice reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward it.

Music, visual images, words written on paper, and photographs also have an impact on the crystal structure. Emoto theorizes that since water has the ability to receive a wide range of frequencies, it can also reflect the universe in this manner. He found that water from clear springs and water exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns, while polluted water and water exposed to negative thoughts forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. Emoto believes that since people are 70 percent water, and the earth's surface is 70 percent water, we can heal our planet and ourselves by consciously expressing love and goodwill.

Fascinating, flawed, theory that needs more work

While I am very open-minded to the more alternative theories about science and spirituality, I still found the support for these claims to be paper thin. the actual scientific component of this book, such as the theories as to why this phenomena would occur, and supporting evidence for the theory, is barely touched upon and filled with truisms and biased world perceptions.
One discrete example I could cite would be Emoto's assertion of an inherent balance and goodness to nature that he points to as a sort of evidence for the balance and goodness of water (if I am interpreting that correctly). He states that this is evident in the proclivity of predators not taking more from nature than they need, which as a naturalist, I can say is a factually wrong statement, as predatory animals regularly hunt beyond what they intend to eat, for sport. So Emoto essentially is projecting human moral and values on nature, long known to Be a flawed mindset to take on said subject matter. Emoto uses many of these types of fallacies to support his theories.
Emoto offers an experiment one can try at home to prove these claims, which I intend to try out myself, however, near the end of the book he makes the caveat that the studies can easily be corrupted. This implies that if the observers or researching parties so much as get momentarily get distracted from the emotional energy that they are supposed to be projecting, or that the samples are not segregated efficiently from each other's "vibrations" or etc etc etc, it can throw the entire results off. This is a major red flag in science, and gives wishful independent citizen scientists who want to see the result Emoto described, an easy out if thier results differ from what was promised. it basically makes replicable, and consistent studies on the matter, next to impossible.
All this aside, the spiritual subtext of the book seems true enough on its own; that positivity and optimism is powerful. I would just caution that the explanation as to WHY it is powerful is not sufficiently born out by this book, nor is the validity of the crystal formation studies sufficiently explained and extrapolated on. Fascinating though it might be.
I'd love to see more serious research into this area conducted by open minded researchers, as the implications water having a sort of "consciousness" is incredible to consider.

Proof of intention

I appreciated how the use of photographing crystal formation provided proof of how intention creates reality.

A perfect marriage of science and spirituality

Dr. Emoto was a treasure, and is missed. There is so much in this gem about resonance that perfectly resonates with me, and I suspect with most who read/listen to this marvellous short treatise. Water crystals as images of this resonance are so evocative, and such a perfect avatar for our relationship with the Universe. Please read it.

Incredible Book!!

Thank you Masaru Emoto for this incredible book.

“The Hidden Messages in Water”, taught me that our bodies are made mostly of water, and
we can change the world and impact other people by using our voices with sound, frequency, and vibration.

“The infinite power of the universe will be concentrated and bring true peace to the world.”

Love and gratitude is the way ❤️

Fascinating

I’ve heard little snippets of these discoveries before. Listening to the full path to understanding and relating of it to the human body was fascinating.

Well written and read.
