Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama in July 1943. He is a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University’s department of humanities and sciences, with a focus on International Relations. In 1986, he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo.

　

In October of 1992, he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. He has gained worldwide acclaim through his groundbreaking research, and discovery that water is deeply connected to our individual and collective consciousness

　

He is the author of the best-selling books Messages from Water, The Hidden Messages in Water, The True Power of Water, Love Thyself, and a three-volumn photo collection of beautiful water crystals. He has also authored two children’s books, The Secret of Water  and The Message from Water.  His work has also been featured in the award winning film "What the Bleep do we know!?" produced in USA in 2004 and also "Water the Mystery" produced in Russia in 2006.

 

Dr. Emoto claims that water not only reflects the physical word around it (as when we use a placid lake or pond as a mirror), but it also reflects the consciousness of the being surrounding it. By exposing water to a particular word or piece of music, freezing it, and photographing the ice crystals, Dr. Emoto has shown that from beautiful words and music come beautiful crystals, and from mean-spirited, negative words, come malformed and misshapen crystals. In addition, water samples from a mountain stream when frozen will show structures of beautifully-shaped geometric design, but those structures will be distorted and randomly formed if the sample is taken from a polluted water source.

　　

In 2003 the United Nations proclaimed the years 2005-2015 as its International Water for Life Decade, which urges citizens of the world to take individual responsibility to learn all about water. In a time wrought with environmental catastrophes and natural disasters, The Secret of Water and his not-for-profit book, The Message from Water children’s version, show the necessity of protecting water, and offer messages of hope and empowerment.

 

He was selected as Watkin’s spiritual master’s list for 2011 and 2012, and has received a special award for water by Gala Spa in 2012. Sadly, Dr. Emoto passed away on October 17, 2014.
