Dr. Emoto’s inspiring message about water

by Nancy Wilson, LMT

Tonight, as we enter the weekend of October 22, 2005, Hurricane Wilma is churning out in the gulf just off the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The weather man says it is coming to Florida and today there was the beginning of a mandatory evacuation in our town of Naples and Marco Island. The water dragon is snorting and pawing angrily. Water. It’s all about water. The earth is sending us major messages. All over the world there are storms, floods, tsunamis, torrential rain and mud slides.

But there is a kinder, sweeter message coming to us about water. It is being brought to us by Dr. Masura Emoto. Dr. Emoto is a Japanese man who has taken “before and after” photographs of water molecules (before and after prayer) and the results are stunning. His photographs are posted on his website and in his book (The Hidden Messages in Water). They have been impacting people all around the world. Two days ago Dr. Emoto spoke to a crowd of 450 in Sandpoint, Idaho, a quiet community in the foothills of the Rockies. My sister was among those in attendance, so I received a report by phone. It was hugely inspiring. Now, today, with the looming threat of Hurricane Wilma parked just beyond Florida and heading towards our coast line, I thought that this would be a good time to send this message out to everyone I know.

The message is a new way to look at water.  Again, see the photographs on Dr. Emoto’s website at www.hado.net and his message below. Hado means “vibration.” He has taken photographs of water crystals, magnified many times over. The water was taken from a variety of bodies of water, ponds, lakes, oceans, around the world. His photos show big ugly shapeless blobs before praying over the water, and beautiful clear lacy delicate crystals after a 15-minute group prayer thanking and blessing the water—a distinct change from the “before” photos.

As a result of these photographs, Dr. Emoto has begun speaking out about the power of prayer upon water. And since our bodies are composed mostly of water, these changes influence us too. For those who require proof of prayer, it is now available in Dr. Emoto’s work. His photographs show irrefutably that water is responsive to human thought and intent. He has also pointed out that the recent increase in tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes are chaotic manifestations of water. The global warming brought on by over population and the over-abundant use of fuel and fire, has brought about an excess of water as a form of counter-balance. Ancient wisdom shows that fire and water balance each other out. The earth is trying to maintain her equilibrium since humans are not only NOT helping her, but are continuing to abuse and dishonor her.

Dr. Emoto is urging us to pray over water to decrease the impact of floods, hurricanes and other devastating effects of these powerful earth changes. He has proved that water responds to human intent and prayer, but it is up to us to bring about these changes. The hurricane Wilma has stopped in its path long enough to draw our attention to it as it sits poised ready to thrash Florida. It’s as if it is saying (like the cell phone man): “Here I am. Can you hear me now?” giving us a chance to work with it and send healing, soothing thoughts in its direction.

Perhaps we CAN do something about this storm threatening our land. Dr. Emoto calls it the water dragon (another story). The water dragon is angry. Why is it angry? Because it is afraid, unacknowledged and hurt. The water, wind and rain spirits have been feared and resisted. Now we have an angry water dragon in the form of Hurricane Wilma. Why she is angry is not as important as what we can do to soothe her fears.  When a human being is feared and resisted they become resentful and angry. The water dragon is no different. A sincere THANK YOU, I HONOR YOU, spoken into the wind would go a long way to soothe her anger. “Thank you for bringing this lesson home to us. I honor you, I respect you, I hear you, I appreciate you, I thank you, you are valuable, you are my friend.”

In all native communities there is a tradition to take time to honor the earth, the elements and the ancestors. They are the forces which watch over us and protect us. We owe them our allegiance. They keep our earth planet flowing smoothly. When we ignore them, watch out! All native communities have ceremonies and rituals to give thanks and respect to the earth except the western civilization which has grown too sophisticated to believe such nonsense. Perhaps this is our big lesson—and chance to return to the fold of the earth’s primary inhabitants.
Perhaps it is time to expand our knowledge to include the invisible dimensions. The science of bio -dynamics, which blends both science and mysticism, recognizes and works with the invisible worlds, as does quantum physics. We cannot out shout the angry storm or force it to change any more than we can out shout a child having a temper tantrum. Dr. Emoto’s photos prove that we can work gently with turbulent, contaminated and violent water. And perhaps it is important to mention another man who, two thousand years ago, brought a violent storm to stillness and then walked on the waves. He was called supernatural but he said we could do the same thing if we believed we could.

When we give forth thoughts for harmony and peace, we are praying. We are soothing the agitated water spirits. They have grown violent because they have become afraid of humans, and rightly so.  We have not been the best of guardians for the earth. We have abused her quite enough. But it is not too late to change our thinking and begin blessing her, honor her, the earth, and her elements: the water, the wind, the fire and rain, and the creatures and insects that live with us on the planet. It is not too late. We can change things. Dr. Emoto’s photos have shown us that we can. The question is, have we matured enough to put fear aside and ignite the love in us to still the storm? Are we ready yet? Water responds to prayer and peaceful intentions. So does the hurricane. Each individual is powerful enough in his or her own mind, to create stillness and peace around them.

Message from Dr. Emoto on Water.

In the beginning of April, 2005, I received an invitation to visit Brazil from NGO called “CRY OF WATER” in Sao Paulo. I visited there about one week and gave 6 lectures in various places. During my visit, I was asked to take the lead in the ceremony to purify the water of Lake Pichucaba in Sao Paulo, for Lake Carapicuiba was heavily polluted recently. Of course, I accepted that request and went to the lake with 30 friends on Sunday of the week. In fact, water of the lake was considerably polluted and gave off a terrible smell. And I was bewildered by the unexpected size of the lake. I thought the lake was too large for sending energy to all corners of the lake by 30 persons.

After thinking for a while, I decided how to offer our prayer. First, I asked to put the water of the lake into a 500 cc PET bottle. Then I asked them to join hands in a circle and put the bottle in the center of this circle. And I said, By this number, this lake is too large to pray directly to water. So let’s offer a prayer to the water of this PET bottle. By doing this, this small quantity of water will resonate with the water of the whole lake and will surely bring about the same effect to the lake. Gazing at the water, I said 3 times, I Love You, Water. I Thank You, Water. I Respect You, Water. Other people repeated the same after me. And we offered our thought to water for a minute. I brought three PET bottles back to Japan. The 1st is water before a prayer, 2nd is water put in a PET bottle after a prayer, and the last is water of the lake after offering a prayer. Of course, I took pictures of those water crystals. The results are shown below. (Unfortunately they did not reproduce here, sorry. But they can be found in his book and on his website.)

I myself led the prayer and got these images, subsequently. But I did not expect that we could take these pictures so perfectly in this way. When I saw these pictures, I got goose bumps and found no word to say. I found that what I am going to do on July 24th (2005) is to the point. I was moved deeply and was not able to hold back my tears.

Now you can imagine. On July 24th,—our day of prayer for water—we offer pure prayer to water in various places of the world, wishing the peace of our earth and human beings.

Much water for praying is not required. Only a glass of water will do. And please pray for 3 minutes at home, at work, at the edge of the lake, at the riverside, at the lakeside, or at the beach. You may pray any time on July 24th. The waves generated by the HADO (vibration) of our sincere prayer will wrap in this wounded planet completely. A blueprint of our planet Earth and our human society filled with Love and Thanks and without any conflicts will be formed on this day. We said together on July 24, I Love You, Water. I Thank You, Water. I Respect You, Water.
President of the Project of Love and Thanks to Water Masaru Emoto.

(Editor: We did the prayer project in July as did many people around the world. I went to the river and drew water into a pint jar. We put the water in the middle of a circle of people and said the prayer mentioned above and gave our thoughts for a few minutes. When I first read Emoto’s book I began to thank the water for being there. All the water I drink has the prayer written on the water container.)
