This book is basically a non-denominational guide and primer on the power of prayer, positive thought and the unity of humanity's spiritual yearning and traditions. It is a visual celebration of life and our intricate and immediate connections.

It is impossible to find words to do Emoto's work justice. Since we come from water and since our bodies contain a large amount of water, it makes sense that the vibration of sounds can effect us by acting upon the water within us. When one sees the many photos that Emoto took of crystals subjected to various sounds, words and conditions, it seems clear, as many commentators have said in the wake of the Giffords shooting, that nasty rhetoric has created an atmosphere where angry people with mental problems react to nasty vibes by feeling encouraged to commit violence.
We can contrast the photos of the beauty of a water crystal affected by the word 'love' and the ugliness of a crystal subjected to the word 'hate' -- or the difference between the appearance of a crystal when a Beethoven symphony is played, contrasted with a crystal subjected to heavy metal "music."
Reading this book and seeing these photos may make many of us think twice before expressing hateful thoughts.
This would make an excellent present for any occasion -- and it is an excellent present for oneself. -Fiona Lowther

The results of this research should impress upon each of us the absolute necessity to maintain higher thoughts and emotions as well as noticing what we pay attention to. The words we listen to, speak and write -- even the music we send out over ethers -- it is all affecting everything else all the time. The pictures speak for themselves! A great book for any age! -Alice

Given Mr. Emoto's spectacular photographic evidence and the power of his own personal convictions - the mere act of reading his book and looking at his pictures makes the reader a better person. One might think that the effect would begin to become less exciting, but it never seems to. The inclusion of his grandchild and kitten is, as always, irresistible. I found the reports from praying adults about how they are most comfortable especially interesting. Meanwhile, the local water, despite alleged benefits of our water treatment facilities, leaves us with highly polluted water anyhow. So, we've been labeling our water and ourselves with the word "love" and conducting our own experiments with the water that we use - including bottled water and wash water. Just imagine if we can actually love ourselves to a 60-70% capacity! If enough people do this - and then love our neighbors too - even our politicians (whether we favor them politically or not) - we COULD change the world - we CAN change it - little by little. First a couple of people, then more, then more - finally the 100th monkey, so to speak. What's to lose? Let's try.-Valda Wells

This is a beautiful and lovingly done collection of Emoto's water crystal photos. Most of the pages are simply a large color picture with a brief description of the circumstances of the image. The focus is on positive and vibrant images (the result of water molecules taking on and reflecting the vibrations of events, symbols, printed words, pictures and sounds) with only very few showing the contrast of ugly aborted crystals. I'm pretty excited and blown away by the implication of all this. Many of these pictures seem sublimely profound and magical in their expression. Sometimes I wonder if its too good to be true, but it is beautiful and life changing none the less.
