It has been a whole month since I left Japan on June 25th. I was planned to be in the Sea of Galilee in Israel today to conduct a seminar and a water ceremony to celebrate the day to send love and thanks to water at the Sea of Galilee. I was originally at that location to cerebrate the day three years ago. However, I had to postpone this visit a week ago because of the recent problems between Israel and Hezbollah.

I was in Bali on June 27th for four days and I had a chance to ask some local people about why such a beautiful island will be the target of such a destructive terrorism. And they had responded, “Terrorists want their action to attract as much attention as possible. There are many foreigners in Bali so it’s good for them.” From this chilling testimony, I thought maybe there will be many foreigners that will gather if we went forward with the ceremony so I decided to postpone this event as soon as I heard about the bombings there.

Even yesterday, the militia had launched about a hundred missiles to the northern part of Israel. Since the Sea of Galilee is also on the northern part of Israel, I’m glad we made the decision of postponing the event.

The first time I went to visit Sea of Galilee was July 25th, 2003. I had a feeling that the origin of the problem between Israel and Palestine was the fight over River Jordan’s water which flows out of the Sea of Galilee. So I wanted people around the world to send love and gratitude to the water in the Sea of Galilee. The event ended in a success as about 200 people gathered there.

This year, the local organization took the lead in organizing this event. The organization was lead by Sally, who is the director of Reidman International College for Complementary Medicine. I believe it was around autumn of last year that I received her invitation to go visit Israel again. I happily accepted and even bought a flight ticket there right away. The ceremony three years ago was an even that I had personally organized there so there were only about 200 people that gathered but this time it was the local group that started the planning. Therefore, we were expecting at least 1000 people to be there.

However, unfortunately because of the current situation, it was postponed. I have made some last minute changes in my travel plan and am now in Amsterdam at my daughter’s place. I would like to take this opportunity here to share what I was to declare at the Sea of Galilee seminar.

A proposal to change the name of Dead Sea to a more positive one!

It’s easy to understand why I would propose this. Through my twenty years of research in hado, water, and especially water crystals, I learned that each word has its own particular vibration, and therefore its own particular energy. Thus “thank you” will create a beautifully balanced water crystal but “you fool” will not.

The balanced water crystals are the origin of creation but those that are not balanced are the origin of destruction.

Therefore what may have been created in the area by the negative vibration of the name like Dead Sea is the vibration of destruction. And I believe that it is not very difficult to change a name of a place with a little help from everyone’s imagination.

So then, what kind of a name should it be?

I would think it should naturally use the word opposite of “dead”, “life”. But this should not be decided by a foreigner like me but have the local people spread this type of idea and decide on a name that reflects everyone’s thoughts.

I would like to mark today, July 25th, the day to send love and thanks to water around the world, as the day I officially propose this idea.

This has been the third seminar at Lichtenstein and this time, it was a joint seminar with Hans Schindler. However, maybe because people are already in summer vacation, or because there was not enough notice of the seminar, the venue was only half full. Lichtenstein is a small country but is an independent country so people need passport to come in from outside. That may have added another reason for the small turnout.

However, many people stayed behind for the ceremony.

And with Yasu, the head of the Love and Thanks project, taking the lead, the ceremony started.

Here is Yasu’s report of that day.

July 23rd, Sunday Ceremony at Lichtenstein
Project of Love and Thanks secretary general Yasu Nemoto

On July 23rd, from 2pm to 5pm was a seminar by Dr. Emoto at Eschen in Lichtenstein. Following that, from 6pm was the ceremony to send love and thanks to the world’s water at a nearby square.

This ceremony began in 2003 so it is the fourth this year. Starting with Dr. Emoto’s suggestion, the ceremony was planned for the first time to include fire as well as water.

I was the MC for the whole ceremony and the one in charge for the running of the whole event. I had prepared my heart for the perfect ceremony.

At 5pm, the seminar ended and we started to prepare for the ceremony as we started to line water, candles, paper cups and such on the tables. However, the sky started to turn cloudy and a passing rain fell. We were going to use the audio systems to so we waited until the rain stopped.

As I was looking at the rain to go away, I felt that there will be a rainbow coming out soon. So I told some people there, “I think a rainbow will come out”. And as suspected a beautiful rainbow did appear in the sky.

The sky soon cleared out. The sun rays made numerous lines of light that shone through from between the clouds. We were able to start up the ceremony with a gift from the environment.

First of all, I called upon the people that gathered to make a big circle at the square in front of the building. We handed a paper cup and a photograph of water from different parts of the world (there were about 200 of those) to each person present at the ceremony.

there were about 120 people that gathered


there were about 200 photographs of water from different parts of the world

At the beginning of the ceremony, I lead a simple mass meditation to fill everyone’s heart with the hado of love and thanks. I connected everyone’s heart to sun with gold light and connected the hearts to earth with silver light. I lead everyone in English and had a professional interpreter, Monica translate from English to German.

With that hightened hado, I asked everyone to imprint the hado of love and thanks in the photograph to the water in the cup. We later collected everyone’s water in a glass bottle.

Hado from the photograph of the different parts of the world was imprinted in this water.

Then a large candle was light be Dr. Emoto. Now, both water and fire was ready on the table.

Again, with the help of everyone there, we chanted the following prayers. In reality though, I said a line at a time and Monica translated that in German and everybody repeated that in German.

Fire, We Love You.
Fire, We Thank You.
Fire, We Respect You.

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

Mother Earth, We Love You.
Mother Earth, We Thank You.
Mother Earth, We Respect You.

GOD, We Love You.
GOD, We Thank You.
GOD, We Respect You.

While we prayed for fire, the bright light from the sun was shining and while we prayed for earth, birds were beautifully singing.

Praying for fire, water, earth, and god

After reciting these words, I lead a short meditation to let the hado full of love and harmony spread throughout the world. Right after I noted a special direction for the hado to reach Israel, the bell from the church across from the square started to ring as if to bless this occasion.

the bell started to ring right after the paryers

I believe that a space of beautiful energy was created as the thoughts of the people that gathered as well as the rest of the people around the world that had supported this ceremony came together in unison as one.

At the end of the ceremony, some of the water that contained the hado of everyone’s love and thanks was poured into a nearby stream by Dr. Emoto. The hado of love and thanks in the water will pass on to all the water in Lichtenstein. And the rest of the water will be poured out into River Rhine by the Lichtenstein staff so that the hado will spread amongst all the water in the world.

The July 25th ceremony that was planned at Sea of Galilee in Israel has been postponed with no date yet set because of the concern for safety. However, a group from Chalice Well in Glastonbury, UK that were visiting Israel had conducted a ceremony for love and thanks to water by the shore of Mediterranean ocean at Tel Aviv.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation to all those that have responded to our calls and have sent love and thanks to all the water in the world. Thank you very much.

Today is my 63rd birthday. I returned back to Lichtenstein where we have a lab from Tirol yesterday. First of all, we went to go look at a mansion that is on sale first thing today. I think Rasmus had planned this viewing pleasure as my birthday gift. It was a beautiful place with a beautiful view. I can see this place being a research location for many wonderful works.

View from the window. Ahhh (sigh)

Marble Jacuzzi

There were over 10 different rooms. The building itself was built over a hundred years ago but the inside of the building was all redone about ten years ago. So, how much would this cost?

From 6:30 that night, I had my birthday party at Alpenrose, the place we stayed. Rasmus gave the opening toast.

I received a bouquet of flowers from the women in the lab. Right is Claudia, and left is Yukiko.

From Mr. Otake, the CEO of IHM, I received a nice bottle of red wine.

From Berlin, Pinou came with his pianist wife. He has been my fan for over five years.

Elena and Mateo came all the way down from Vicenzia, Italy, a ten hour drive. Mateo is the president of a mineral water company called Aqua Lissa. Elena is the designer of the water’s bottle. They will be hosting the love and thanks ceremony as well as a Hado Instructor school in Venice next year.

This is Minnie Hein, a Peruvian healer that have been like a family member with Rasmus’s family. I had a wonderful healing session with her about five years ago.

This is Rasmus’s father, Mr. Gaupp. He was the first one that organized my seminar in Austria about six years ago. He is an expert in picking up hado-type information. He had introduced me to many interesting people and devices.

Storm from Vienna, Austria. He will be organizing my September 12th seminar in Vienna. He is looking at 3000 attendees! He drove for eight hours to be here.

And of course, Hans Schindler and his family, his partner Hanna and his son Bernhard. They came from Vienna as well. At a meeting right beforehand, he had agreed to publish the German version of the EMOTO PROJECT book from his company.

With Dr. and Mrs. Kandolf. Dr. Kandolf works for Swarovski. We are planning a co project with them soon.

And lastly, a bouquet of red roses from the Tokyo office.

I received a bottle of Italian rum and a birthday encyclopedia from Graziella in Switzerland. She runs a rental car company.

From Mr. Hazaka I received my favorite potato shoju and high grade takeda peace.

The next day, we left our hotel at around 11 and headed to a town called Seefeld in Austria with a car driven by Rasmus. It was about 2.5 hours drive but the view outside the window filled with vast field and beautiful mountains that the drive went by quickly.

And where we arrived was a hotel with casino. There will be a seminar here tonight.

I had an interview with the PR department of the casino.

The seminar started with a greeting by the head of the casino.

The casino hall was packed with people standing at the back again. It did feel a little odd to be in a casino going through my usual lecture. But no, I shouldn’t see it this way, I should be happy about the fact that even people at casinos are there to listen to me intently. What I talk about is gaining broader acceptance.

The town of Wolfegg is a beautiful town with a hot spring. You can see the beautiful castle and a church of the town from a hill top.

Hotel that we stayed at

The beautiful flowers in the garden took our fatigue away.

With Mr. and Mrs. Ｚｉｅｈｅｒ, the seminar organizers

The whole population of the town is only 3500 but about 200 people came to the seminar. There were many people that had to stand or sit throughout the seminar.

After the seminar, we conducted a water ceremony at a nearby pond.

European summer nights get dark late. The ceremony went on way after 10:30 at night.

A lecture about HadoScan was presented by Mr. Otake. Everyone experienced it with a lot of attention. I am planning to have this device as a teaching material of the future Hado Instructor schools.

And a photograph with all of us. The one in wheelchair is Ann, she got in a car accident on the way to the venue on the first day. She had hurt her ankle and was about to give up on attending the school but with the help of another student, she had miraculously turned up in our class. God seems to be always by us.

Even with a busy schedule, Rev. Matsumura from Shoutoku temple came to give the lecture on “Japanese mind, Zen mind”. He has been giving this lecture from the very first school. His lecture is one of the all time favorites for many of the students. I think that the Japanese Buddhist teachings flow into many people’s heart without much resistance.

The special guest speaker this time is Mr. Kazunari Furuhashi, a researcher and a promoter of bamboo charcoal. His constant smile had won many fans at the lecture. It may start a new trend of bamboo charcoal in Australia.

The second night is our dinner party. Because of the small number of participants, we were about to have a warm, moving party.

First of all, there was a short talk by Debra, one of the returning students and the one that helped get put this school together. Without her help, we would not have been able to have such a fantastic group of people. Thank you Debra!!

After a round of talks, someone started to sing. Who? You may ask, of course, it’s the principle of the school! And that circle of singers started to grow.

The circle starts getting bigger.

The song we sang was Edelweiss because there was an Edelweiss in the group. On top of that, she’s Debra’s mother as well. They both came to take the 3rd Hado instructor school in Hawaii. Second one from right is her.

And to wrap everything up, Toshiko spoke at the end. She is a local resident and runs a spa at the hotel. She heard from a therapist that gave me a massage that I looked tired so she suggested for all of the participants to send some energy to me.

So everyone started to send the healing energy to me. Oh, I’m such a happy man.

I received some young energy from Mamiko and Yumi from Singapore, and my seminar interpreter, Rei.

And also the pro of praying, Rev. Matsumura, send me energy with a slight smile on his face. We have actually been friends for 30 years now.

The Hado Instructor school was held at Radisson Resort with great facilities such as a pool, golf course, and tennis court. However, July is the middle of winter in Australia. The pool water was too cold for people to swim in.

However, the sky was very clear and blue and we were surrounded by beautiful bodies of water. It was a great location to learn about water and hado.

A beautiful rainbow appeared to welcome us on the first day of the school.

As usual, the classes started with my lecture.

The second lecture is by Mr. Otake on the history of hado measuring devices. We have started the introduction of the new HadoScan machine. The one that’s trying the machine out is one of the students, and a physician, Michael.

The 5th Hado Instructor school started today at Radisson Gold Coast, located about an hour away from Brisbane.

This time, there were 13 new students and 2 returning students. It may have been a little difficult to get the word out about the school this time since there was not much time in between the seminar tour and the school date. However, the students that were able to be there made a very cohesive, positive group.

The last city of the Australian seminar tour is Brisbane. Starting from Perth, I did almost a half round around the bottom of the country. When I landed at the airport here, I noticed how much warmer it was here. Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney were pretty cold but it makes me realize how big Australia is.

Also because this town was the hometown for the two seminar organizers, the university hall became packed today.

When I look back, the Australian seminar went very well with 500 people in Perth, 350 in Melbourne, 650 in Sydney, and 500 in Brisbane today.

One thing that take a lot of energy is the book signing. This time, I had half an hour of signing before the seminar and about an hour after the seminar. I have a pretty bad handwriting but people still thank me for the autograph. I would look up and smile to the owner of the book after each signing and am always met by bright smiles. I look forward to these smiles that I don’t deny any signing no matter how tired I am.

I always bring a stamp that says Love and Thanks and stamp that on everybody’s books along with my autograph. My wife is in charge of stamping usually. The signing can easily be about 200 books per day and my hands can get pretty tired. However, I have devised a new technology of holding the pen. As you can see, I now hold my pen like an eagle. This helps to relieve tiredness from my fingers and I can sign as long as I want.

However, I ask for people’s understanding about not personalizing the books since it takes double the time to sign all the books.

Sydney is one of the biggest cities in Australia but it is actually my first time to give a full lecture here. I have been looking forward to this. We had two book signings at two big bookstores.

One was at the Japanese book store, Kinokuniya in Sydney. There were Japanese as well as English books so I was very happy.

At the book signing. I always do a short speech or Q&A to entertain the readers.

The other book store I went to was ADYAR, a book store specializing in spiritual books. There were over 200 people and I gave a short speech, signed many books and answered many questions.

The seminar that was held at the Masonic Center was full to the second floor too.

And the standing ovation in the end…I’m such a happy man!

The next day, I went to visit the Sydney office of Hay House, the publisher that is publishing Message from Water vol. 3. Leon, the managing director, himself have written 9 books of his own about dreams. I had a good time visiting.

I had a seminar in Melbourne last year as well. The last seminar was organized by the Pranic Healing group lead by Dr. Hazel so I was able to talk about anything. However, there were more serious people this time that there were some people that did not understand my bad English.

If I speak in English, I don’t have to go through a translator so the content of the seminar becomes 50% more but then the quality may not be as good. So do I take the amount, or the quality of the seminar content? It’s a hard choice.

As usual, I had an interview with a magazine, then a documentary interview after the seminar. My role is a water missionary; I don’t turn down interviews as much as possible. That’s why, wherever I go, I don’t have time for any sightseeing.

Magazine interview before the seminar

Leaving behind New Zealand with bad weather, I took a 7.5 hour flight to the western Australian city of Perth.
Today is the beginning of the Australian seminar with the following schedule:
7th – Perth
9th – Melbourne
11th – Sydney
13th – Brisbane
14th – 18th Gold Coast Hado Instructor School
The tour conductor of tour is Ann and Faye, the two women who organized my seminars on the East coast last year.

Before the seminar, an Aborigine elder came to see me with some presents. I get welcomed by different native people, wherever I go. The water’s message that I speak of must have something very similar to what they have been taught by from their people.

There were many people at this beautiful theater. The Australian seminar started out well.

This is Lawrence, a Hado Instructor from our third school. He is only 33 years old but is a teacher of Reiki in Perth and has written six books on this subject. He helped out with the transportation in Perth as well. I asked him to be one of the board members of Hado instructors and he happily accepted.

It also is my first time to visit New Zealand. It was one of my dreams to go visit this country when I was young. I was very much looking forward to being here. However, Wellington was in the middle of the winter and there was a storm coming through. It was like a bad day in Iceland or something.

However, the Water fans of Wellington welcomed me warmly selling out the 500 capacity theater from two weeks before I was to speak there.

The theater became packed right after the door opened.

Before the seminar, we had a documentary film crew come in for an interview.
There were actually two different groups there.

One of the crews was a local Maori man. I had always had an admiration for the Maori people ever since I got into rugby as a student. At that time, the world’s greatest rugby team was New Zealand’s All Blacks, with many Maori people playing.

He welcomed me with Maori’s nose kiss.

It was my first time to visit Malaysia but maybe because many of the recent heads of the state in this country had good relationship with Japan that I saw many Japanese signs in airport, train stations, and other signs around the city. The place seemed like a friendly place for a Japanese person.

There were many Japanese people at my seminar there as well.
The photograph below is me conducting the lecture in English.

As you can see, there was a Japanese organic foods group at the venue as well.

Everyone gave me a standing ovation at the end. There were some young monks as well.

We had an after party later and had a good time with the people of Malaysia. There was an idea of setting up a branch type of thing for the Malaysian hado group.

The Singapore and Malaysia seminars were organized by Manami Yukawa who had organized the one year memorial ceremony of the tsunami at Phuket last December 26th. She runs a Shichida method class in Malaysia. She is a young woman but I was impressed by her dedication and action for peace in the world.
Before the Singapore seminar, we had a meal at a nice restaurant in a famous botanical garden.

The seminar was held at a newly built venue. I gave the whole lecture in English,
I wonder how the audience took it…

At the book signing after the English seminar.
I was relieved to know that most people understood pretty much everything that I had presented in the seminar. The woman with a blue suite is Manami.
