The Spirit of Water highlights the importance of how we think and why we should take the message in this book seriously. I really enjoied reading it and couldn't put it down. One of the best books on the subject which shows you how to use the principles of Hado in daily life. Highly recommended!
Review in Nexus Magazine by Ruth Parnell
Western Australian author Lawrence Ellyard is a student of pioneering Japanese water crystal researcher Masaru Emoto, whose books Message from Water and The Hidden Message in Water with their amazing photos of water crystals have inspired millions to appreciate water in a new light. Dr Emoto has written the foreword to Ellyard's book The Spirit of Water, which continues the exploration of hado - a word Emoto uses to describe the universe's subtle, vibrational energy. It was Dr Emoto who suggested that Ellyard write the first definitive hado book from a Westerner's perspective.
The fundamental meaage is that water is a medium that receives, stores and transmits information, manifesting consciousness in physical form. Imbuing water with positive or negative thoughts and then freezing it results in a picture of captured beauty or chaos. Water from polluted sources looks ugly and distorted in crystallised form, whereas water from clean and positive sources has elegant symmetries. Knowing this, and the fact that the body contains around 70% water, means that what we think, say and do affects the water content in the body and hence our health.
Ellyard, who qualified as a hado practitioner two years ago, takes the reader on a magical and sometimes confronting tour that shows what these extraordinary water crystal images can teach us about ourselves and the world around us. He covers the science of crystal formation, the hexagonal structure of water molecules (akin to that of snowfakes), sacred geometry and symbolism, sympathetic resonance, and the hado of health and happiness, among many aspects. There's also a powerful environmental message in this life-affirming book.
Review in LILIPOH Magazine by K Williams
Spirit of Water by Lawrence Ellyard, is a blessing and a worthwhile book. Written both reverently and with careful attention to scientific orientation, the whole impact of the book is the raise the vibration of the reader.
The author is a student of Dr. Masuru Emoto. He gives a friendly and informative narrative to bring you the benefits of the research being conducted on the subtle properties of water.
Underneath the material manifestation of everything, is "hado," or the energy field. Dr Emoto discovered a way to photographically capture the ways that hado is impacted by intention and then expressed in the material world. Lawrence Ellyard does a wonderful job of extending the teachings of Dr Emoto into a more complete understanding for the western reader, including practical and personal applications for you in your life.
There are many pictures of ice crystals not previously published. The contrast between "mother's cooking" and "fast food" as informed water crystals are intriguing. Also in the book are references to sacred geometry that bring clarity to a subject that often is too cryptic to be absorbed--but not in this book. Using references to various faith traditions, myth and scientific experimentation, a whole picture of the magical properties of water is revealed -- specifically, hexagonal water.
Water forms groupings on a molecular level, and it so happens that the 60 degree angle, shown in snowflakes and other hexagons, is by far the most advantageous for living cells to assimilate. Dehydration can still be present in cells, even if plenty of water is taken in, if the water is not arranged on a molecular level in the form produced by the best sources in nature. Snow melt water is especially good, but most people have no access to this. Being swirled in riverflow is also good for impacting water, which is why flowforms work to enhance water's properties. It turns out that human intention is profoundly powerful in impacting the structure of water. If your faith is weak, use this book to inform your rational mind.
You have the power to enhance your own well-being by raising the hado vibration in water you use and consume. This book is a lovely guide for making that happen.
