CONTENTS

S o many people all over the world have been touched and impressed by the research and findings of the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto. His groundbreaking first book, The Message from Water, awakened us to the simple but profound connection between our thoughts and the effect they have not only on our own bodies, but on water itself. Wow! What a novel idea.

This information gave me a new respect for water. I began blessing with love every glass of water I drank. Labels appeared on my faucets, showerhead, garden watering cans, the toilets, every other water source I had, and all the many bottles of water I carried everywhere.

I heard more and more from others who were using Dr. Emotos information to expand and change their own work to include respect for water. It was only a natural progression to gather this information into a book to share with the world.

Dr. Emoto has taken all that he knows about the magic of water and utilized the current brilliant minds of people from the scientific, health, and spiritual worlds, combined with the mythological realms, to give you the most comprehensive study of water and its powers. Personally, I think The Healing Power of Water may be his best work to date. If you want to know, for instance, the myths of water (such as the healing power of the waters at Lourdes), you can read that section of the book. You can also discover what scientists say comprises the structure of water. For me, I jumped right to the information pertaining to health. How often have we heard the advice to drink eight glasses of water a day? These chapters delve deeper into the questions of water and its power to heal.

Dr. Emoto and I have visited with each other on a number of occasions, most recently at my 80th birthday party. At that lovely celebration, he presented me with a beautifully framed photograph of a magnificent water crystal, which had been formed out of the words You can heal your life. It brought tears of joy to my eyes to see what a beautiful water crystal looked like based on the title of my best-selling book. Ive always believed in the healing power of words, and this very learned gentleman presented this very simple lady with a precious gift. I will treasure it always.

You have in your hands Masaru Emotos latest endeavor, The Healing Power of Water, and its my honor to be writing this Foreword. Dr. Emotos work has sparked a revolution! Its heartening to have so many authors studying and sharing their thoughts about the healing power of water. I hope you find what you are looking for in these pages.

Louise L. Hay

You can heal your life crystal.

I first had the idea of freezing water and photographing the crystals thus formed in 1994. Since then, several books have come out on my work, featuring both visual images of water crystals and the insights that Ive gained from my research. These volumes have been translated into many languages, and I regularly travel all over the world to give lectures about my experiences with water. And every time, Im touched anew by how people can intuitively relate to the images of the water crystals.

For both my colleagues and myself, this last decade has involved years of intensive development and research. Although the technique of water-crystal photography has to be further refined to meet the strict demands of the scientific community, its inspiring to witness the interest with which the pictures are examined and the immediate understanding of their meaning at a lay level. We hope that you, too, will gain a new awareness of the wonderful and miraculous world of water.
