The Hidden Messages in Water" is an eye-opening theory showing how water is deeply connected to our individual & collective consciousness. Drawing from his own research scientific researcher healer & popular lecturer Dr Masaru Emoto describes the ability of water to absorb hold & even retransmit human feelings & emotions. Using high-speed photography he found that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific concentrated thoughts are directed toward it. Music visual images words written on paper & 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 & water exposed to loving words shows brilliant complex & colorful snowflake patterns while polluted water & water exposed to negative thoughts forms incomplete asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. Emoto believes that since people are 70 per cent water & the Earth is 70 per cent water we can heal our planet & ourselves by consciously expressing love & goodwill." ...
