Water CRYSTALS with Masaru EMOTO

Masaru Emoto (江本勝 Emoto Masaru, born July 22,1943) is a Japanese author known for his controversial claim that if human speech or thoughts are directed at water droplets before they are frozen, images of the resulting water crystal will be beautiful or ugly depending upon whether the words or thoughts were positive or negative. Emoto claims this can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of water. These claims have been strongly criticized as pseudoscience.

Since 1999 Emoto has published several volumes of a work titled Messages from Water, which contains photographs of water crystals next to essays and “words of intent.”

all water crystals pictures were taken from glasses with the following words

”HAPPINESS” in Tagalog, Philippines


“HAPPINESS” in Japanese water


”HAPPINESS” in American water


‘THANK YOU’ from Israel

“THANK YOU” in German water


”THANK YOU” in French water


”THANK YOU” in African water

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.

Commentators have criticized Emoto for insufficient experimental desgins, and for not sharing enough details of his approach with the scientific community. In addition, Emoto has been criticized for designing his experiments in ways that leave them open to human error influencing his findings.
