The next seminar schedule after Singapore is in Australia from August 6th. (twice at Melbourne, Brisbane, and Gold Coast) Since I’m a workaholic, I was originally thinking about setting up some more seminars before that at cities like Sydney. However, we learnt that our son, who loves the southern island, was taking a summer vacation at Fiji during these days that we invited ourselves there as well.

As a result, it was a great idea and we were able to rest and relax for the five days. We did not have a lot of time to spend with our son for a while so this vacation was a great time to catch up. My wife was the happiest there, enjoying the five whole days without any traveling.
I’ve taken many beautiful photographs of the island’s atmosphere so please enjoy them here.

I wish this was my everyday…	Sunset at Fiji

In the morning of the 27th, we left Mr. Hazaka at Heathrow airport and flew to Singapore. Since there is no staff going to Singapore with me, I will be writing this diary entry. (I can imagine many of you saying that I should be writing my own diary anyways! I’m sorry.)

I have been through Singapore a few times for transit but this was my first time to do a seminar here. It was also my first time to stay in this country for three whole days. The host of this seminar is WBG (World Business Group), a network business for health related products. We arrived at the Singapore airport in the morning of the 28th. A cute woman named Sally was waiting for us there.

With Sally

I found out later that Sally was a sister of the president of WBG and can speak some Japanese as well. She was given the responsibility of taking care of us. Nothing was planned for that day so we were able to rest in our room for the whole day.

On the 29th, we were invited to lunch with the president of WBG, Mr. Lim, and other managers of the company. (These were Mr. Lim’s three sisters and one of her husbands). During the talk at lunch, I finally understood why they have invited me to talk. Mr. Lim is only 37 years old but once I started talking with him I felt that our way of thinking and our history has some similarities. This is because he had started using a EAV type of Hado measurement device in his twenties and was able to produce a health food using a type of seaweed. He started a network business of selling health products as the ones he had produced. Therefore, his business’s beginning was the Hado measuring device. So he has been a fan of my first book, “The Truth of Hado” and wanted to invite me to Singapore. It felt like I had had a student in Singapore for this whole time without realizing it. This is the reason why both of us felt like we found our long lost friend once we started talking.

Lunch with the managers

The seminar that was held on the 30th was at a big convention hall and had about 2000 people. There were people that even came from Australia, Taiwan and Malaysia. They had prepared the venue very well. There’s no need to say that I enjoyed my two hours seminar throwing in numerous performances.

At the venue	The stage was well prepared

We had Dr. Emoto’s special seminar at Brocket Hall, which is about an hour drive away by car from London City Airport.

We got out of the car to find it in the middle of well-designed golf courses surrounded by nature. The scenery of the lodge (they say “lodge”, not “hotel”) built in brick was very beautiful like a postcard.

In the evening, people gathered in the lounge. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to Dr. Emoto’s seminar of the next day.

Cannot wait till tomorrow; mini-seminar begun.	What the two men have in common is that they are popular among women.

Brocket Hall, UK is also the goal of “Europe Tour” organized by the Toshio Masuda. The seminar was held in the gorgeous boardroom. Among the participants were those who attended his seminar for the first time. They were all amazed at water crystal photos.

After the seminar, we drunk some champagne with the manager of the hall in the open air. Then we enjoyed French cuisine by a most excellent chef, who kindly took Japanese sense of taste in consideration.

And the dessert was the singing battle between Dr. Emoto and Mr. Masuda. Mr. Masuda sang “Love Theme from the Godfather” to fire the opening gun. Dr. Emoto fought back with “O Sole Mio”. Which won the game?

Hirotsugu Hazaka, IHM

Today, the 24th is the day for Dr. Emoto’ annual seminar and Ceremony to Send Love and Thanks to the World's Water. This is the third year for this tradition. We held the event at a community center in a town of Essien in Lichtenstein, the same place as last year.

The seminar started off with a short introduction by Rasmus from Hado Life Europe and Hirotsugu Hazaka, the president of IHM. The translator was Monica.

Following last year, this seminar and ceremony is the 2nd time to be held here, but compared to last year, everything seemed to be going in more orderly and planned fashion.

Then came the percussion performance by 19 years old Joss. He is still young but Dr. Emoto himself guarantees his talent as a musician. He used a drum that looks like a large cymbal to produce beautiful sound of water from a bowl full of water.

performance by Joss

And finally, Dr. Emoto’s seminar started. The content was focused on the relationship between water and prayers in order to relate that to the ceremony that was to be held that evening. He talked about how water can change with people’s prayers and consciousness using examples of episodes from Fujiwara dam prayer, the Grand Declaration at Lake Biwa by Mr. Nobuo Shioya, the Ceremony to Send Love and Thanks to the World's Water’s previous sessions, and the video that showed the effect of prayers to water by children. It was a very impressive presentation.

The seminar wrapped itself up with Dr. Emoto’s talk about his EMOTO Project, a project to provide 650 million free copies of water crystal photography book to children in the world. People in Switzerland and Lichtenstein’s reaction are usually hard (because of their hard water?) but this time the seminar ended in a natural standing ovation.

Q & A

There was a Q and A session afterwards where many different questions were raised. There was a Japanese person there that asked a question in Japanese. His name is Kouichirou Suga, and was actually at Dr. Emoto’s seminar three years ago at Berlin as well. I was there at that Berlin seminar as well so I remember him well. He came all the way to Lichtenstein from Germany this time to participate.

After the seminar, Dr. Emoto moved on to book signing as usual. As Dr. Emoto signs, Mrs. Emoto stamps the Love and Thanks stamp in the book. They work in such a great harmony together.

Dr. Emoto’s book signing	Book sales

A lot of books were sold at the book selling booth. Sarah helped out in selling the books there. She came from Melbourne in Australia. By the way, Lichtenstein uses both Swiss Fran and Euro. For this reason, we had to show the price for both currencies and have enough change for both currencies as well.

Then we packed all that we need for the evening’s ceremony in a few cars and moved on to the venue for the ceremony.

＊＊＊＊＊

At 7 in the evening, the 3rd Ceremony to Send Love and Thanks to the World's Water started at Bongert Place, located within a Catholic church.

As the same as last year, I took the role of a mc there and Monica translated that into German. Joss performed at the beginning of the ceremony. As the atmosphere settled in sacredness, Dr. Emoto started to speak. “I would like to continue this Ceremony to Send Love and Thanks to the World’s Water from Lichtenstein and continue sending the message to the world. I hope we can all work together for that.” He said. Then I explained the purpose and the process of this ceremony.

Dr. Emoto’s talk

This year, with Dr. Emoto’s suggestion, we called out to the people around the globe through the internet to send us sacred water. As a result, about 40 different types of sacred water from around the world were sent to Hado Life Europe. With the help of the people there, we poured all these water from all over the world into one single bowl. As it was last year, I asked Ruth Joy to read out the names of the water.

Pouring together water from different parts of the world

There was one thing that I was very surprised about this year. There were about 100 participants there and almost all of them have brought their own water with them. Each person shared what and where that water came from with the audience before pouring it in the bowl.

Pouring water that people brought into one bowl.

What struck me the most there was how proud, confident, and happy people looked when they were sharing stories about their water. I felt that this ceremony has started to be accepted by the people. We were very happy to know that.

After pouring all the water together, we all stood around the water in a circle. Ruth walked us through a meditation there. We were filled with calm warmth as our hearts became one.

And then a prayer of love, thanks, and respect to water in different languages, Dr. Emoto started off in English

Water, We Love You.
Water, We Thank You.
Water, We Respect You.

We repeated line by line for three times. Then with the participants’ help we said the same words in German, French, Italian, Dutch and other languages. In the end, Mr. Hazaka said the words in Japanese.

By saying these words, the water has received our prayers. Takashige Kizu from IHM general institute collected some of that water to take crystal photograph of the water later. And some of this mix of sacred water that has received all our prayers was poured into a water fountain nearby with the hands of Dr. and Mrs. Emoto.

The sacred water from different parts of the world with our prayers of love, thanks, and respect will flow throughout the country of Lichtenstein this way.

And finally a grand finale. We walked towards the Rhein River. Following the tradition from last year, Rasmus from Hado Life Europe poured the water into the Rhein River.

the water with all our prayers are poured into the river by Rasmus

Rhein River has its source in the Swiss Alps and flows into Lichtenstein, Austria, Germany, near French boarder, Holland, then to the North Sea. It is one of the most famous and biggest rivers in Europe.

With this river, the water with our prayer of love, thanks, and respect will flow to different countries and different areas of Europe. And it will finally flow into the ocean and merge with the rest of water in the world. So with the flow of water, our Hado of love, thanks, and respect will spread throughout the world’s water and will help in ascending the Hado of the whole world.

＊

To all the people that have supported the Project of Love and Thanks to Water by sending the sacred water to Hado Life Europe, by praying to water with love and thanks from your respective areas, by organizing a similar ceremony around the world, and by just having interest in this project, I show my deep appreciation. Thank you very much.

“Project of Love and Thanks to Water” started on July 1st, 2002. This year marked the 3rd annual “Ceremony to Send Love and Thanks to the World's Water”. However, since July 25th was a Monday, we decided to hold the ceremony on July 24th, the Sunday. The location is the same as last year, at Lichtenstein.

I flew out of Narita airport in Tokyo with Takashige Kizu and Kyoko Iwamoto from IHM General Institute on July 22nd. We flew in to Amsterdam then to Zurich by the evening of the same day. From Zurich, we took a train to Sargans station in Switzerland. We got on a cab from there and entered Lichtenstein. Dr. and Mrs. Emoto, as well as the president of IHM, Hirotsugu Hazaka had already arrived in Europe earlier.

As many of you may know, July 22nd is Dr. Emoto’s 62nd birthday. We celebrated his birthday on the 23rd of July so that everyone can get together. We threw a small party for him at St. Leonhardt Field at an Austrian town called Feldkirch.

The party was mainly organized by the president of Hado Life Europe, Akihiro Otake. So we started off with a toast with wine.

At St. Leonhardt Field	Cheers!

A bouquet of flower was presented from Hado Life Europe’s staffs. You can see below that the person handing the flower to Dr. Emoto is Hado Life Europe’s Yukiko Hirakita Jordan. She is married to a German man and can speak German fluently.

A present from Hado Life Europe

From Masaya Sato, who photographed most of the crystal pictures that you see in Message from Water, presented a couple of handmade badges with images of crystals for Dr. Emoto. It may be hard to see from the photograph below but there are two badges of different colors in the bag. Dr. Emoto looks very happy.

Next, Dr. Emoto received a card with messages from each of IHM’s staff in it. It was handed to him by Kyoko Iwamoto who will be in Lichtenstein for about a month to work on water crystal photography technique. Dr. Emoto also received a present from Rasmus Gaupp, the representative of Hado Life Europe.

There were a lot of people that came to participate in the ceremony from out of the country, just like it was last year. Konrad from Koha publishing that has published the German version of Message from Water and other books had a present ready for Dr. Emoto as well.

A present from Konrad	Ruth Joy from Prescott, Arizona

Then, there was Ruth Joy who has been working as a volunteer since the very first ceremony three years ago. She came all the way from Prescott, Arizona in the US. Her present to Dr. Emoto was a number plate that says THE BOSS.

Dr. Emoto handed the number plate to his wife. (Who does the number plate best describe?)

A present from Ruth Joy	Presenting that to his wife

And then there was Sarah, Ruth’s friend from Australia that has been traveling around the world. Since she is from Melbourne, she gave Dr. Emoto a delicious wine from there.

Michael Hamilton came from Sedona in Arizona. He participated in this ceremony last year with his wife and was very impressed. He runs a healing center at Sedona.

Monica has been the translator for the seminars. She has also translated the Message from Water to German. She is fluent in German, English, and Japanese. Her husband has been practicing Aikido, a sport that has brought them together.

Monica was the translator, and besides her is her husband

Joss played a percussion interment at Dr. Emoto’s seminar yesterday. Even though he is only 19, even Dr. Emoto guarantees his talent as a musician. Lea was his assistant and helped transfer his instruments with a car.

Then there was an appreciation talk by Dr. Emoto after receiving lots of heartwarming presents and wishes. “We should all get together again next year!” he said. He also gave a speech about the EMOTO Project, a project to provide 650 million water crystal books to the children in the world.

As a present from the restaurant, Dr. Emoto received a birthday cake with a firecracker on top instead of candles. There was a little cake cutting ceremony by Dr. and Mrs. Emoto.

So Dr. Emoto’s 62nd birthday ended as a great happy and entertaining day.

(Yasuyuki Nemoto @ Project of Love and Thanks to Water & Overseas Enterprise Division)

On July 20th, Dr. and Mrs. Emoto moved on to Aqua Dome in Tirol area for the next seminars. The dome is located at Ottitar, about an hour drive from Insbrooke, surrounded by mountains.

This seminar had been sponsored by the local community groups and community tourist organizations but the main organizer was Hans Bacher. He is a master artisan of glass work and a very informed person about water.

The Aqua Dome where the seminars were held and where Dr. and Mrs. Emoto stayed for two nights was a public wellness hotel. So this hotel provides different types of massage, exercises, large space, and an outdoor pool.
The place was designed by a Fung Sui master and had a zen-ish simplicity and lots of wood was used.

They had prepared a suite for Dr. and Mrs. Emoto there. The room was spacious with even a fireplace in the middle of the room. Although they usually can only stay at a place for a night or two and have no time to relax, thanks to Hans, they were able to stay for three nights and have more of a relaxing time.

It’s too bad that I cannot report on how their sight seeings and other relaxing time went for Dr. and Mrs. Emoto since we had prepare for the seminar on the 24th and for the ceremony to give love and thanks to water at Liechtenstein. I heard later that Dr. and Mrs. Emoto spent their time taking a walk, sightseeing, swimming in a large swimming pool, and by the fire place in the room. It must have been a great place to celebrate Dr. Emoto’s birthday which was on the 22nd. The staffs of the hotel were all very nice as well that Dr. Emoto was saying that he would do seminars there for free as long as they will let him stay at that hotel again. He wanted to bring his daughter and his grandson as well.

Apparently, there are many guests from Korea that comes to stay at this hotel too. If any of you ever has a chance, I would recommend this hotel highly. http://www.aqua-dome.at/

So, this area has plenty of water. There is a beautiful lake and many waterfalls that fall from the mountains. There are hot springs that bubbles out as well. Because of such a clean water source, the tap water there is straight from the natural water, barely treated.

Hado Life Europe took time to prepare to come to this place since April but since Hans has a lot of knowledge about water, he was worried about others not having enough knowledge and endangering the future of the water in that area. That was the reason why he wanted to organize Dr. Emoto’s seminar. Plus, I think he wanted to use the resources like the Aqua Dome, hot spring, and other water related products as tourists’ attraction.

The audience at the seminar was all invites only. The first day was hotel related people and their guests; the second day was the local politicians and tourism industry people. Dr. Emoto’s talk was very much to the point of what the organizer hope to send the message about. He shared some crystal photographs of the local water source that Rasmus took and sent the “message from water” about caring about the local water.

People at Tirol were not as interactive as some people that not many people sang along with Dr. Emoto when he asked and such, so it probably was not the easiest seminar that he had conducted. Especially at the seminar on his birthday, he sang the birthday song there and was embarrassed later but from the reaction we received afterwards when people were buying the books, it seemed like the people had received the message deep down in their heart.

Hans was very happy about the success of this event. As a German, Hans is a quiet person that is always working hard to make every thing right behind the scene. His warm hearted personality can be recognized easily from his facial expression. At the end of the seminar, he had flowers ready for Mrs. Emoto, the translator, and even for me who was just working as an assistant. As Dr. Emoto was saying, he must be one of the few men that can see the importance of female energy and a person that has the same type of energy himself. These are one of the times when I am glad to have been working for Dr. Emoto because that is the reason why I can these types of people.

As a wrap up of this diary entry, I would like to say Happy Birthday to Dr. Emoto. As it was on your birthday this year, I wish you a year of full experience in both public and private life.

With Love and gratitude

Yukiko Hirakita Jordan (Hado Life Europe)

Today turned out to be a great day not only for Dr. and Mrs. Emoto but also for us staffs. The staff members that are traveling together since yesterday are Mr. and Mrs. Monika Lubitz as translator, and her daughter, Iris, the new Hado Life Europe’s president, Mr. Otake, Rasmus, and myself.

Rasmus was talking to a manager of Swarovski yesterday and came up with an idea to go visit the Crystal World, a Swarovski museum located at Tirol area.

Swarovski company was started by Daniel Swarovski when he immigrated to Tirol area from Bohemia in Czechoslovakia about 110 years ago. Since then, the company has been building its reputation as a prominent glass work company. The person that took us around was Charlotte Ebner, a manager that has been working at Swarovski for 17 years. Many people working at Swarovski, apparently, work for years or even generations because it is a great atmosphere to work in.

So, Crystal World is supposed to be the second largest tourist site in Austria. A famous German artist produced the main concept of the museum. It is made up of 13 main rooms. We were first surprised by the amount of people there were visiting the place.

We were welcomed by a large fountain that came in a shape of a giant that is sticking out his tong. Iris, Monica’s one and a half year old daughter, was most excited about this unusual welcoming monument. Iris looked at everything curiously throughout the tour of the museum and did not seem scared in the darkness or among a crowd of people.

The first thing we came across when we entered was a series of large painting with crystal glass contained. For example, a large painting of Dali that was filled with Swarovski’s crystal glass, and a large painting of India’s maharaja that is riding an elephant carrying a load of diamond made by the crystal glass. These painting were all lighted up beautifully. There are guides from 17 different countries, and of course, there was one that spoke Japanese.

Then we moved on to a room that looked like a kaleidoscope made from crystals that are cut in shapes that has healing power. A room where it gives an illusion that you are in a multisided crystal itself. These rooms all provided some type of mysterious experience once you are actually in it. It was as if I entered a movie set for a futuristic movie.

During the tour, Dr. Emoto asked, “why are there 13 rooms, 13 is a special number but did they know that when they made this facility?” Charlotte was familiar about the fact that the number 13 was considered special and that’s why it was treated as unlucky number sometimes but she told us that she will ask the designer of this place about this number the next chance she gets. Even if it turns out to be a coincidence, this is pretty interesting.

After the 13 rooms, there was a gift shop with countless Swarovski crystals. Since it was right after seeing all the beautifully displayed crystals, I could not avoid my urge to want to have some for my own. Even if you are not interested in buying any, it was a lot of fun to just look at all the beautifully lighted crystals. Dr. Emoto handed his wallet to his wife and she bought a small pendant for herself.

We were invited to a VIP lounge in the end to rest after the tour and received a gorgeous present from Charlotte.

A Christmas ornament set that Swarovski creates every year.

Well, Dr. Emoto and Swarovski company has been connected for about five years now. The water forum that Rasmus’ father organized at around this area five years ago was sponsored by Swarovski. Swarovski has also been a supporter of “Water School” that teaches children the importance of water at Tirol area in the mountains. With these connections, there are great hopes that they can work together for the common theme of water. Both Dr. and Mrs. Emoto were very happy to be able to make stronger connection with Swarovski since they had been interested in the company for a while.

Dr. Emoto, thank you for letting us has such a great time. And Rusmus, thank you for a great idea to go visit the museum.

Yukiko Hirakita Jordan (Hado Life Europe)

Dr. and Mrs. Emoto flew in to Tirol area in Austria after Dr. Emoto’s successful eye operation. He will be having three seminars here.

We drove for about 3 to 4 hours from Liechtenstein where the office for Hado Life Europe is located to Garmisch in Tirol.

The seminar today was hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Gamper who runs a seminar house and also is coaching trainers.

When we got there, the place was hectic with the staffs of the seminar house running about getting ready. There was a big tent set up as the seminar site in a large yard, a drink station, a corner where fire will be lit up at night so people can sit around, beautifully decorated flowers, and many candles and torches. There were snow crystals made by the local company, Swarvski, hanging from the trees in the yard as well.

The seminar house is an old house with a big yard. There were about 150 guests of Mr. Gamper that came mainly from Austria and Germany for the seminar. Mr. Gamper specializes in advertisement that he has worked for the advertisement of Swarovski company with his wife who is an artist, for example. He is also running a training course called Gamper Mind Systems to try to combine business and spirituality together. This has been catered mainly in the business areas.

So among the guests were president of a prominent food production company in Austria, many entrepreneurs from Tirol area, number of managers from Swarovski, a famous German actress that leads workshops in effective presentation meetings, and many other prominent business people.

Dr. Emoto’s schedule was packed until the evening with a news paper interview, a meeting with engineers of Swarovski, a meeting with a young entrepreneur wanting to build a new economic system and so on.

As the guests arrived, the place became like a big cozy garden party. I was helping out with book sales at the far end of the venue. Mrs. Gamper was selling German calligraphy art next to me so I was able to experience some of the atmosphere there. The people there were all very nice and were very easy to get along with.

The event started out with a Shakuhachi performance by a well known American musician, then a speech by a famous German artist, then a seminar by Dr. Emoto. Since it was the first time to hear Dr. Emoto speak for many of the guests, and they wanted to leave enough time for the party afterwards, Dr. Emoto kept his talk short and talked for about 45 minutes. He was received with a warm round of applause but because many of the people here are calm and elegant, the reaction was low down too. But I heard many positive responses afterwards and found big newspaper article with Dr. Emoto’s photograph. Dr. Emoto and Mr. Gamper promised that they will have a bigger joint seminar in September with the title, “Message from Water” where Mr. Gamper will share his idea of new economic and business system along with Dr. Emoto’s talk.

Like a typical party here, many people stayed late into the night talking and getting to know one another. Dr. Emoto stayed until about 11:30 at night but I stayed longer and it was way after midnight when I got to clearing up the book sales stand.

Yukiko Hirakita Jordan (Hado Life Europe)

I am back at my son’s place in Los Angeles after leaving Japan on the 12th. I am here in LA for five days for my lazar eye surgery. I will be leaving for European seminar tour on the 17th but until then, I don’t have any work scheduled.

My left eye was treated on the 13th, right eye on the 15th and today (16th), I’m already sitting in front of the computer typing. So even though the lazar surgery is supposed to be a surgery, it really is not a big deal. I think of this lazar treatment as another type of Hado, or vibrational medicine, so I am understanding of this type of treatment. I was not afraid or nervous about it at all. Rather, I would recommend to anyone that is suffering under the same illness (diabetic retinopathy) to try this treatment.

Since I did not have any appointment besides this surgery, I had time to sit down and have a long talk with my son who is running the Hado Publishing USA here. He gave me an update on the 25 graduates of the first Hado Instructor USA. They have created an internet group to exchange information and are individually doing different work utilizing what they have learnt.

I have also received the translated version of the comments that the students have written. I was very impressed and moved by their serious attitudes that I promised myself that I will put all my energy in always improving and making this system a success. To start out with, I talked with my son about the plan for upcoming Hado Instructor schools.

This information will be up on Hado.net soon but I will be sharing the answers to what Hado instructor is and what is expected of them on this website very soon. If you are interested in this system, please keep an eye out for more information.

The 2nd Hado Instructor USA
Date: Nov. 4th (Friday), 5th (Saturday), 6th (Sunday), 2005
Place: Hilton Airport, Los Angeles, California

The 3rd Hado Instructor USA
Date: February 17th (Friday), 18th (Saturday), 19th (Sunday), 2006
Place: Hawaii Island (Big Island), Hawaii

I would like to share some of the comments that I received from the students here.

For detailed schedule of the 1^st Hado Instructor course, please refer to the diary entries of September 10^th 12^th . The upcoming courses will follow the similar schedule as the earlier one.

Dr. Emoto attended the “Open Seminar on Consciousness and Hado” at Aichi Expo as a lecturer. This seminar was a two days seminar and had been going on since yesterday. The title of this seminar was “Symposium on Health, Long Life, and Medicine for Everyone: Life Will Shine -to the Era without Illness- “.

This event is organized yearly in June as an open seminar to provide new medical alternative by Consciousness and Hado Medical Science, International Hado Research Institute, Hado Medical Research Association, and IHM General Institute. There always are many prominent speakers at the seminar but because this year’s was at the Expo, the seminar was especially fulfilling. We were not able to help out as much this year in organizing, but Dr. Emoto, as a lecturer did a wonderful job and was praised by many of the other speakers with medical background.

Since the seminar was held at Rotary Hall, a room for about 200 people, there were people that could not find a seat and was standing at the back. Dr. Emoto spoke only for a short period of time but the content was very deep and interesting. Dr. Atsumi, a professor at Medical department of Tokyo University, who is an expert on medical devices, was especially impressed by Dr. Emoto. Even within his own lecture, he praised Dr. Emoto’s work. And at the end, he gave up his own lecture time for comments and Q and A for Dr. Emoto. A gracious gesture.

The attendee listening intently to Dr. Emoto’s talk (at Rotary Hall in Aichi Expo)

Since Koutarou Miyazaki took over the Consciousness and Hado Medical Science after the death of his father, Gakei Miyazaki, Dr. Emoto showed his respect and gratitude by sharing a new year’s post card with the Miyazakis on it. Koutarou was very moved by Dr. Emoto’s gesture that he ran up to him after the lecture and gave him a hug with teary eyes. I think it was a very hard work for Koutarou to organize this whole thing. Dr. Emoto was probably the person that understood his hard work the best.

The evening section of the symposium was held at EXPO hall. It was a panel discussion coordinated by Mr. Akira Kawashima, a Hado instructor. Mr. Kawashima had been appearing in many newspapers and TV as an expert on alternative (holistic) medicine. So even though the panel was all medical doctors except for Dr. Emoto, he coordinated the discussion to keep Dr. Emoto as the focus. The discussions were guided under the idea of how medicine and medical world should be, and the importance of consciousness. The discussions went very well and we all received a lot of positive comments from the attendees.

Dr. Emoto at the panel discussion

Overall, this whole event reaffirmed the great achievements that Dr. Emoto has created in the medical field. With great hope and expectations for what will come in the future, I think this was a very successful event.
