Hado (pronounced “Hah-doe”) is the Japanese word for the vibrational pattern of life energy from which everything is created. Hado is everywhere, in every aspect of nature, and in all living creatures. Hado is dynamic, always in motion, always capable of change. It is the basic energy of human consciousness. As human beings, we have the capacity to change our Hado – our energy vibration or consciousness – and guide it with our intention. Every thought, feeling, belief, and word affects our Hado. When they are positive, we create positive energy, actions and results in our lives and in the world. When they are negative, we can also create negative situations for ourselves and others. The concept of Hado dates back thousands of years in Japan. Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese author, researcher and entrepreneur, re-introduced the concept to the modern world in his 1999 best-selling book, The Hidden Messages in Water. Kathleen Quigley Caputo Studied with Dr. Emoto and is a Certified Hado Instructor.
