 The True Power of Water: Healing and Discovering Ourselves
The True Power of Water:

Healing and Discovering Ourselves
Masaru Emoto
Softcover, $16.95
Beyond Words Publishing, Inc.

Just as the circumstances of our life reveal, in observable ways, the main focus of our thinking—either wholeness or disharmony—water is also a reliable indicator of our mental state,” says Dr. Masaru Emoto. This idea is based on numerous fascinating and picturesque experiments with water, which he explains in The True Power of Water and in his earlier book, The Hidden Messages in Water.

He has discovered that when frozen, water in vials labeled with the words “love” form beautiful crystals, while frozen water in vials labelled “you fool” forms fragmented, deformed crystals.

Because of his conclusion, that the information received by water causes different shapes of ice crystals to form, Dr. Emoto began to wonder if the reverse was true. Could beautiful, crystallized water have a healing influence on people exposed to it? His answer was, “Yes,” because the water transports the information it is infused with. Since the human body is 70 percent water, it responds to the information carried in the water we drink. Water with positive information produces health; negative information produces illness.

What Dr. Emoto calls “hado water” is used to treat particular conditions. Hado water consists of water that has been subjected to the positive states of mind, or emotions, that counteract the negative mental states leading to a disease condition; for example, sadness, a prominent factor in leukemia, is canceled by water which has been exposed to the emotion of joy. “To live a healthy life,” he writes, “keep your thoughts positive.”

His water experiments may not be necessary to make us realize the wisdom of this counsel, but they suggest a pervasive connection and interaction between and among all that exists around us. As he says, we resonate with each other, “because both you and I are water.”

Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow: 12 Simple Principles
Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow

Karen Casey
Hardcover, $14.95
Conari Press

Author Karen Casey gives us twelve simple principles for changing our lives by changing our minds. The first chapter and principle is “Tend Your Own Garden,” which offers practical steps for breaking the habit of minding other people’s business, a habit that most of us can relate to. With each principle Casey presents real-life situations and solutions in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner.

If you are open to what this book has to offer, you will be motivated to do some self-reflection. Casey states, “The irony is that we always see in others the very behaviors that we need to pay attention to in ourselves. Always!”

I saw myself in many of her examples, some positive and some not; and I felt like I was getting knowledgeable advice from someone who was willing to share her life-experience.

Karen Casey, the author of sixteen books, is a recovering alcoholic who is committed to helping others to know that there are choices in the way they think and the effect that those choices have on their lives. She shares her journey through Al-Anon’s Twelve-Step

program and the changes that she made in her life by changing her thinking. She acknowledges that God is very much a part of her life, and that God’s presence and power is in everything that she does. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the quality of his thoughts and how being aware of them can bring positive change.
