EMOTOS METHOD FOR FREEZING WATER CRYSTALS (as gathered from conversations with Emoto and from listening to his talk)

After the water has been exposed to certain thoughts or emotions it is put into about 20 or 30 petri dishes in amounts of about 1cc. It is then frozen at -25 C. After that, it is brought into a room at -5C. It is put under a microscope of magnification 200 to be photographed. The photographing process heats up the water. For about a 2 minute period, a water crystal will grow out of the ice around it. That’s when the photographs are taken. There is a wide variety of crystals formed, but there is in general a family resemblance. Emoto then chooses the crystals he thinks are representative.

The experimenters who take the photographs have to be carefully chosen, as they influence the formation of the water crystals. Emoto teaches them to enter a pure state, in which they are looking for truth. Using the same word, different chosen experimenters may still affect the formation of the water crystals somewhat differently.

Labs in Korea and in Lichtenstein have replicated his findings. Emoto had to train the personnel in how to do it. For the Lichtenstein lab, Emoto had to work with trainees for a year before they could reproduce the experiment. There are a lot of variables, one of them being able to train experimenters to enter into a pure state.

Emoto has tried higher temperatures than -25C for freezing the crystals but has not yet succeeded in forming the complex patterned crystals at higher temperatures.

ANOTHER WAY TO FORM WATER CRYSTALS
According to Tom Hamilton, if you take the "imprinted" water and drop it on a glass slide, let it dry, it centrifuges by itself, naturally, and forms crystalline patterns,
visible under a microscope. This could be a way to replicate the experiment, without Emoto's lab.

COHERENCE AND THE STATE OF THE ORGANISM

- Fritz Popp measured the photons emitted from free-range eggs as compared to battery hen eggs. The photons were more coherent in those emitted from free-range eggs
- Heartmath research has shown that the heart becomes more coherent during periods of positive emotion. “Heart Rhythm Coherence -- An Emerging Area of Biofeedback.” Rollin McCraty, Ph.D. HeartMath Research Center, Institute of HeartMath, Boulder Creek, CA.

One of the machines Fritz Popp has used to measure these biophotons is the EMI 9558QA selected typed which uses a photomultiplier.

COHERENCE AND STRUCTURES IN WATER

Emilio Del Giudice and Giuliano Preparata have proposed a theory for how water can form coherent domains, behaving in a similar coherent manner as lasers. ‘Water as a free electric dipole laser’, Physical review letters, 1988; 61:1085-88

Shui-Yin Lo has taken electron microscopy pictures of certain water structures called IE crystals. He has measured a number of properties that distinguish the IE water from tap water including different ultraviolet spectroscopy peaks and current susceptibilities.

One type of specially prepared water, called Penta water, has different properties than tap water. It has narrower Raman spectroscopy frequency widths, suggesting that Penta water has more clearly defined structures in it than tap water. A.F. Bunkin, A.A. Nyrmatov, and S.M. Pershin.

Bernard Grad of McGill University, Canada discovered that water treated by a healer has minor shifts in its molecular structure and decreased hydrogen bonding between molecules. He analyzed the water with infrared spectroscopy. “Some biological effects of ‘laying-on of hands’: a view of experiments with animals and plants,” Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, 1965; 59:95-127

HEART’S ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD
The heart’s ECG measurements are about 60 times as strong as that of brain EEG measurements. The magnetic component of the electromagnetic field is about 5000 times stronger than the brains and can be measured several feet away with a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device).

WAYS OF TREATING WATER
Lee Lorenzen prepares what he calls Microcluster water by passing it through magnetic fields and lasers. O-NMR analysis indicates the water has a narrow half value of resonance frequency (74-99 hz) comparable to that of melting snow water.
VIBRATIONS AND PATTERNS

There is a field of study, called cymatics, pioneered by Hans Jenny, where trays of different materials like sand, powder, or ball bearings are vibrated. At different vibrational frequencies, patterns of different complexity and symmetry are found in the particulate material is found.
