"Words are the vibrations of nature. Therefore beautiful words create beautiful nature. Ugly words create ugly nature. This is the root of the universe."
~ Masaru Emoto
Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto's experiments on water first gained worldwide attention when he was featured in the 2004 documentary "What the BLEEP Do We Know!?" His hypothesis seems simple and universal: water reacts to the vibrations of words. The phenomenon is called Hado (rhymes with shadow) and means 'wave' and 'move' in Japanese. Dr. Emoto studied water in its smallest unit of energy, the atom, and found its form changed dramatically with the suggestion of a word or phrase. This finding led him to wonder: if we are made up predominantly of water, how do words affect our basic atomic structure and health?
According to Dr. Emoto, Hado is a vibrational frequency resonance wave and the source of energy behind the creation of all things. Since a field of magnetic resonance is always present wherever Hado exists, Hado can be interpreted as the magnetic resonance field itself.
Dr. Emoto used a magnetic resonance analyzer (MRA) to observe and measure the effects of this magnetic resonance on the atomic particles in matter. He discovered that all substances and phenomena have their own unique magnetic resonance field. According to Dr. Emoto, modern medicine focuses on the body at a molecular level. However, in order to be able to understand the real cause of a disease so that we may cure it completely, he believes that we must look at the atomic level or even at the micro-particle level.
Through his study of Hado, Dr. Emoto has come to believe that people fall ill due to negative thinking, which triggers an imbalance of elements within the body. When our body is in this state of illness, the only way to heal it is to normalize immunity through a balanced peace of mind. Dr. Emoto feels that the most effective medicine for a serious disease is an awareness that we are living in cooperation with microorganisms throughout our lives. He encourages us to keep them in mind at all times and to convey our honest appreciation for their contribution.
Dr. Emoto has concluded that "all things lie within your own consciousness" and that we should do our best to raise our Hado level by doing things such as saying blessings over our food and water, drinking good water and not accumulating negative feelings.
