Dr. Masaru Emoto

Masaru Emoto

(1943-2014)

Masaru Emoto is a Japanese author and entrepreneur best known for his claims that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. Emoto's hypothesis has evolved over the years of his research. Initially, Emoto believes that water takes on the resonance of the energy which is directed at it. Polluted water can be restored through prayer and positive visualization.

He shows in his children's peace book that if water has positive energy directed at it, water forms beautiful and intricate crystals, and oppositely if water has negative energy directed at it, the crystals come out broken and discolored, their uniformness altered and tarnished. Since 1999 Emoto has published several volumes of a work titled Messages from Water, which contains photographs of water crystals and their accompanying experiments.

Biography

Born in Yokohama, Japan, Emoto graduated from Yokohama Municipal University with courses in International Relations.

"In 1986, he established the I.H.M. Corporation in Tokyo and is currently the head of the I.H.M. General Research Institute, Inc., the President of I.H.M., Inc., and the chief representative of I.H.M.'s HADO Fellowship".

In 1992 he received certification as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine from the Indian Board of Alternative Medicines in India.[4] After learning about micro-cluster water and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology in the United States, he began studying water in more detail.

Emoto is President Emeritus of the International Water For Life Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Oklahoma City. He has three children with his wife, Kazuko.

Dr. Emoto has dedicated his life to world peace. Emoto's water crystal experiments consist of exposing water in glasses to different words, pictures, or music and then freezing and examining the aesthetics of the resulting crystals with microscopic photography. Emoto claims that different water sources produce different crystalline structures when frozen. For example, Emoto claims that a water sample from a mountain stream would purportedly show a geometric design that is beautifully shaped when frozen. On the other hand, Emoto claims that polluted water sources will be distorted and will be randomly formed.
