Product Description

This cutting-edge new work, by the author of the New York Times bestseller The Hidden Messages in Water, presents a revolutionary understanding of life and consciousness and provides answers to the most profound questions of existence.

Introduced in the bestselling The Hidden Messages in Water and the hit cult film What the Bleep Do We Know?, the groundbreaking work of Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto captured the popular imagination and launched a worldwide movement. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water are affected by our thoughts, words, and feelings. Since humans and the earth are composed mostly of water, his findings have far-reaching ramifications for individuals, for human society, and for the global environment.

In The Shape of Love, Dr. Emoto shares new images from his research and for the first time draws out the significant lessons of his work. In a clear, conversational style, he interprets the messages hidden in his extraordinary photographs and explains how his discoveries can help us find answers to these eternal questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where will we go after we die? Providing a new way of looking at such important issues as how we treat others and the earth itself, Dr. Emoto’s findings encourage the positive actions that spell a better future for all.

A magnificent follow-up to The Hidden Messages in Water, The Shape of Love is a fascinating investigation into the intersection of science and spirituality and its impact on our lives and our world.

From Publishers Weekly
Even the most open-minded reader will become frustrated with Emoto's follow-up to his bestseller, The Hidden Messages in Water, in which he observed how different conditions-in particular, the exposure of water samples to different words, thoughts and feelings-influence the formation of ice crystals. Here, Emoto explains the metaphysical implications of those observations, and proves too fascinating by half; certainly, mysteries at the core of modern physics might be elucidated if his results were replicated by other researchers, indicating an empirical link between human thought and what we perceive as material reality. But the "doctor of alternative medicine" jumps the gun, stretching those untested results to the breaking point in the service of broad and ultimately unsupportable conclusions. Though the moral philosophy he offers is in fact laudable, it isn't clear at all how it stems from his examination of ice crystals; the same can be said for the cosmology explicated in the book's second half. Though readers may find some inspiration, Emoto's decision to ground so much far-out speculation in scientific observation will turn off any serious researcher who might wish to reproduce Emoto's admittedly fascinating experiments.

Review
Praise for Masaru Emoto’s New York Times Besteller, The Hidden Messages in Water

“The Hidden Messages in Water is magnificent. Through his genius photography and suberb scientific skill, Dr. Masaru Emoto has created a book that is truly a mystical treasure. His contribution to research in spiritual consciousness is positively masterful.”
—Carolyn Myss, author Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of a Spirit

“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. Emoto’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. Emotos work with water beautifully illustrates the healing power of love and gratitude. These building 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 positive future for our world.”
—Noelle C. Nelson, Ph.D., coauthor of The Power of Appreciation

Exercise the Mind and Refresher for the Spirit
The premise of the book is: We are water. He shares a few more pictures of water crystals and some stories of his life and his perspective on them. He shares his thoughts based on all his experience with water and Hado. He talks about resonance and vibration and offers a plausible story of how we came to be in the universe and the source of water. He also discusses the power of prayer and spoken words are energetically transmitted through the ethers. It begs the question that if the spoken word has such power then how much are we affecting one another and the planet as a whole with our negative speech?

I commend Emoto for sharing his thoughts and stories. It evokes us to realize the obvious that is easily overlooked.
