Today, 22nd July, would have been Dr Masaru Emoto’s birthday, so I thought it would be appropriate to write a blog post honouring his fascinating work and his amazing legacy, the Emoto Peace Project.
I first heard about Dr Emoto’s work when a friend of mine told me about his research on water crystals and how the crystals changed shape when th
ey were subjected to different words, images, music and thoughts.
Dr Emoto photographed the water crystals at the precise moment they froze using high-speed photography. The crystals that were formed from the water that had been shown words such as ‘thank you’, ‘love’ and ‘peace’, or played classical music to were absolutely beautiful and looked like stunning snowflakes. The crystals that were formed from water that had been shown words such as ‘hate’, ‘you fool’ and ‘evil’, or played heavy metal music to were distorted, ugly and didn’t look like snowflakes at all. (See image below).
Isn’t this fascinating?! I wanted to find out more.
I saw that Dr Emoto would be talking at an Alternatives event at St James’s Church in London. My partner Steve and I signed up and went along, but it was actually one of Dr Emoto’s colleagues who ended up giving the talk; Dr Emoto himself was ill. (He sadly passed away soon afterwards, in October 2014).
We thoroughly enjoyed the talk and came away utterly inspired.
My take on it is this… We humans are made up of 70% water. Therefore, if we call someone names, we are physically affecting them. Likewise, if we call ourselves names when we look in the mirror (aloud or in our heads) we are physically affecting ourselves. The old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me”, often used to ‘comfort’ a child who is being bullied, is inaccurate and incorrect. If someone calls a child stupid for example, they are affecting them on a physical, cellular level and this is really serious. This experiment shows just how consciously we must use language, or decide on what images we see or music we listen to.
What do you think your water crystals would look like? What would those of your family look like?
If we were more discerning about the water we consume (perhaps by saying or thinking ‘thank you’ to our drinks before drinking them, even adding a ‘thank you’ label to our water bottle for example) and about the music that we listen to, would this make us healthier and happier on a physical level? Can we heal ourselves and even the polluted water on our beautiful planet by using conscious thought and prayer? Based on these amazing findings, I certainly believe so.
As it says in the description of the book Water Crystal Healing: Music & Images to Restore Your Wellbeing,
“Dr. Masaru Emoto has discovered why certain music has healing benefits: Music with the appropriate rhythm, tempo, tone, and melody can correct distorted frequencies within our cells, assisting our health and healing.
In this unique collection, Dr. Emoto presents music that he has found through his research to be beneficial for common physical and emotional imbalances. Listen to the musical pieces while enjoying Dr. Emoto’s captivating water-crystal photographs. The possible benefits you may experience include decreased joint and back pain; improved function of the nervous, circulatory, lymphatic, and immune systems; and the release of negative emotions such as anxiety, self-pity, and depression. The combination of images, words, and music in Water Crystal Healing concentrates consciousness as never before, providing a unique experience for healing.”
Wow!! Surely that’s a lot cheaper and more fun than therapy?
As well as having written several books on the subject for adults, Dr Emoto has also written a book for children.
Dr Emoto’s misson is to teach all children the messages from water. He felt that we as adults can teach them now and in 20 years’ time they will be the ones to bring peace to the planet.
His children’s book is called The Message From Water, Children’s Version. It is available in 30 different languages.
I would love to figure out how I can get it published and distributed to all children aged 3-12 years old in the UK for free. Please comment below with any suggestions!
Until then, you can visit Dr Emoto’s website here and download PDF copies of the book for free. Please print it off, share it with your friends, read it to your children.
You can help bring peace to the planet! Each journey starts with just a small step.
Blessings to you and thank you for reading! xxx
