'Half of the earth is water; our body is three-quarters water. Water represents the interface between the fourth dimension in which we live and the fifth dimensional sphere of our soul. Many studies have shown subtle effects of healers upon hydrogen bonding and infrared absorption of water. None of these scientific studies can compare with the beauty and clear messages shown by Dr. Emotos's elegant work. The impact of thought and beauty has never before been demonstrated so well.'-C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., founding president of the American Holistic Medical Association
'As with galileo, Newton, and Einstein, Dr. Emoto's clear vision helps us to see ourselves and our universe differently. Science and spirit unite, resulting in a profound and undeniable quantum leap in how we view our world, and how we can reclaim our health and create peace.'-Marcus Laux, N.D., editor of Naturally Well Today
'Dr. Emoto's work with water beautifully illustrates the healing power of love and gratitude.These buiding blocks of appreciation support our well-being in body,mind, heart and soul. The Hidden Messages in Water is a most valuable contribution to the creation of a positve future for our world.'-Noelle C. Nelson, Ph.D., coauthor of The Power of Appreciation

This was partly because there were bits about musical notes that I didn't understand, partly because of a long chapter expressing Emoto's personal views about the origins of our Earth. He has a
However, I learnt something important from his photo of the crystal formed (or rather not formed) when water was exposed to the words "Do it". I understand that my well-meaning advice to others, including my daughter, in difficult situations is perhaps not as helpful as I thought, since the photo shows that water,for one, wants to make its own mind up as to what to do. (Not that I would say to anyone that they HAD to do something). So thank you, Dr. Emoto.
I was also inspired by the chapter "The power of prayer", where Emoto recounts the result of an experiment where a priest performs incantations and prayers directed to healing the water in the Fujiwara Dam. A week after the treatment, the body of a woman surfaced at the reservoir, the killer being apprehended shortly after. Amazingly, through Emoto's eyes, the water crystal picture prior to the treatment looked like a woman struggling and suffering. After the treatment, and the surfacing of the body, a crystal picture showed a merciful face the author thought resembled that of Mahatma Gandhi. Wondrous things happen in Emoto's world.
So despite my reservations, I feel this is a worthwhile book and recommend it too to those interested in Emoto's work.
