Preface
In this booklet, we share our deepest thoughts of water and present facts and ideas for you to contemplate. We have covered a broad spectrum of perspectives on water, starting from the scientific to the metaphysical, from the poetic to the spiritual and it was all done in a very simplified manner to give you a taste of the enormity of an element most of us take for granted. We hope this information will inspire you to go deeper into the study of water and see it through a new perspective and honor it, treating water as a sacred part of your life. It is not enough that we merely drink enough water for our health but to also to immerse our bodies in the healing and sacred living waters of the world as frequently as we can. For when we do, we draw in the life-giving essence of God through our pores and circulate it throughout our bodies and out into the world. If ever there was a fountain of youth, it is not in one place, but spread on over 80% of the earths surface the living waters of the world.

Introduction
Quantum physicist are discovering that all matter, including our thoughts, words and music produce distinct vibrational patterns. Their associated wave forms can be seen in water molecules which have been frozen and examined on high powered microscopes. Through his research, Dr. Masaru Emoto of Japan has found that water has an incredible capacity to remember even the most subtle of vibrational patterns of whatever it has been exposed to, and this means that water retains information within its molecular structure. In his latest book The Hidden Messages In Water, Dr. Emoto demonstrates how water exposed to positive expressions, cheerful, loving thoughts and classical music formed exquisite hexagonal crystal patterns within its molecules. Negative expression and heavy metal music revealed highly distorted patterns. Based on Emotos studies, we were inspired to design Water Blessing Labels with positive healing expressions for everyone to use in transforming their drinking water. As we used these labels ourselves, we became aware that small miracles were happening in our lives. We became convinced that water is a powerful message carrier for all beings. Subtle changes in ourselves transform not only the water we drink, but contribute to the waters of the world sending liquid prayers to all living beings.

Drink Your water!


Heres why . . . Water restores normal sleep rhythms. Every 24 hours the body circulates the equivalent of 40, 000 glasses of water to maintain its normal physi ological functions. The body uses 6-8 glasses a day of its total body water for necessary functions and has no stored water to draw on during dehydration Water is the best laxative and prevents constipation. Water helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression. the best time to drink your water is . . . first thing in the morning to correct dehydration during long sleep. optimally 30 min. before meals to prepare the digestive tract. two and a half hours after a meal to complete digestion before exercising to have it available for creating sweat. anytime you are thirsty.

To drink blessed water is to bring a powerful element of intention to your self-nurturing daily rituals.

drink water to prevent illness


just plain water is What your body needs to maintain perfect health The human body is a self-regulating, self healing mechanism, however, it needs at least 3.5 pints of water every day just to carry out the critical functions of life. This amount of water does not include whatever else you may drink such as coffee, tea, juice. At least 3.5 pints or 2 liters of filtered, room temperature water will provide the minimum daily needs of the body for brain activity, digestion, chemical balance, toxic elimination, fat-burning, lubrication, regulating the metabolism, lung functions, cell growth, heart functions, regulating blood pressure, weight control, and the normal process of elimination. Water is the miracle cure for many diseases without ever taking any other medication. Here are a few suggestions for healing or aiding common human ailments. For back and joint pain Water stored in discs within the spinal column and cartilage cushions and supports nearly 75% of the weight of the upper body. Water is the perfect lubricant for all the joints. Indigestion and Heartburn Water hydrates the mucus lining of the stomach which maintains a barrier between stomach acids and sensitive outer layers of the stomach walls. Drinking a glass of water before a meal and another about 30 minutes after a meal, followed by a glass of water each hour after a meal. High Blood Pressure & Heart Functions Blood flow is critical through the system, but when there is a lack of water in the body, the blood flow is sluggish and thick and can cause constrictions in the veins leading to hypertension and high blood pressure. Headaches Before taking medications, try drinking a glass of water and waiting for about 20-30 minutes. Most headaches will disappear within that time. For more serious conditions, consult your physician. CONSTIPATION & URINARY Symptoms Water aids digestion and elimination by providing the most natural form of laxitive/lubricant to the human body. -7-

A humble medicine

WATER TOUCH ME KEEP ME CHILD-SIMPLE AND IN RHYTHM WITH THE EARTH


Charles Chase

No other tonic in the universe is as effective in regulating the functions and health of human beings. Here are some interesting facts: Over half the worlds population is chronically dehydrated. In many people, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger Dehydration metabolism slows down the

One glass of water can eliminate hunger pangs for dieters Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. . -8-

What bottled water is best?


You have choices when it comes to drinking commercially bottled water Is bottled water safe? Is there one brand that is better than others? How about distilled water? Is it properly filtered? What type of filtration works the best? What is right for your needs? Bottled water is readily available wherever you are around the world. It is generally water that has either been cleaned through ozone or reverse osmosis filtration systems at a bottling plant or filtered at a watersource and transported to a bottling plant. It may have been distilled taking all minerals and nutrients out of the water. Make sure you read the label to know what you are getting. Spring water comes from the earth flowing from underground water sources and is sometimes naturally carbonated. Mineral water has trace minerals and comes from natural springs or artesian wells and is known to have healing qualities. In order to be labeled as mineral water, it needs to contain at least 250 parts per million of dissolved solids.Water that claims to originate from natural springs is generally thought of as better drinking water, however, the phrase, bottled at the source is not a guarantee that you are getting pure, healthy or even clean drinking water. -10-

More facts about bottled water


Americans drank 21 gallons per person of bottled water in 2003 mostly for convenience but secondarily because they believed they were getting a superior water to their own tap water. Unfortunately, unless the water is bottled in glass containers, there is a huge body of evidence to support the toxic affects of long term storage of water in plastic. This means that while the water may have been superior at its original source, by the time it gets to the consumer, it is no longer a healthful beneficial product. Glass costs twice as much as plastic or PET bottles, and it is heavier and breakable. But it is a stable container and does not alter the taste of water or leach chemicals. All plastic containers from PET to polycarbonate are dissolved by water to some extent and will impart a taste and particulate matter especially if the bottle becomes heated. If you purchase bottled water in order to enjoy toxic-free drinking water, you have defeated the purpose by purchasing water in plastic bottles. If you filter and restructure your water and then put it into a plastic container of any sort you have also defeated the purpose. The only way to assure the best commercial drinking water is to purchase it in glass containers. This also goes for bottled drinks. Testing of bottled water Most bottlers maintain strict quality controls, however there are no consistent standards to eliminate high levels of sodium, chlorine, nitrates, copper, mangenese, lead iron, zinc and mercury. At least one third of all bottlers failed to met regulations when heath officials tested for contamination. While the FDA requires bottled water to be handled in a safe and sanitary manner, it is up to the individual bottlers to monitor their collection sites and the quality of water from their source. WATER FROM MUNICIPLE WATER SUPPLIES There is a one-in-four chance that your bottled water came from a municiple utility companys public water supply and not some hidden natural spring. Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper each bottle highly treated tap water after it has been run through carbon filtration and ultraviolet light to purify it. While their product may be superior to your own filtered tap water, it is nonetheless, bottled in plastic and sold as a superior natural beverage. When all is said and done, generally in the US, the best water you can drink does not come in containers from the market but is fresh at your home when you want it having been filtered and inspected. In order to assure you are drinking the best water, possible from your tap, you can put in an activated carbon filter or reverse osmosis system in your home and by keeping the filters replaced and working properly assure yourself the best of all worlds right at your kitchen sink. -11-

Common problems with domestic water


Filtering drinking water is an important aspect of good health as there are many elements addeded and subtracted from water from the time it enters the municiple water system until it comes out of your faucet. Here are some interesting facts. Fluoride is commonly put into public water systems in order to prevent tooth decay in children. But fluoride can cause heart disease, cancer and a weakened immune system. Naturally occuring fluoride is also often found in water supplies and is only slightly as toxic as aresnic. Fluoride can affect kidneys, heart, thyroid, brain functions, eyesight, and can weaken bones and it weakens the bodys natural ability to repair itself. Fluoride also weakens all sentient abilities. Chlorine is added for sterilization, and does remove some pathogens, but negatively affects the metabolism and hormonal activities in the body and kills certain enzymes which are critical for regeneration of new cells. It also contributes to fat storage in the body resulting in excess weight. Pesticides and herbicides seep into domestic water systems from agricultural activities and can cause cancer and birth defects, or learning disabilities in children. Percholates (rocket fuel) has been detected in drinking water throughout the US and it affects the way the body metabolizes fat, creates hormones and delays development in an unborn fetus. Heavy metals leached from pipes such as lead or mercury and can cause illness and brain dysfunction in children especially, but also to a lesser degree in adults. However heavy metal accumulation in the body can cause symptoms of auto-immune diseases such as MS. Aluminum excess in water can cause Alzheimers disease or premature aging, mental confusion, headaches, memory loss, osteoporosis and digestive problems. Traces amounts of legal and illegal pharmaceutical drugs can be detected in domestic water supplies, exposing all beings to medications such as birth control, sleep aids, digestive aids, antiobiotics, neuro-regulators, antidepressants, fertility drugs, hormone replacement therapies and male performance enhancers. Also trace amounts of recreational drugs such as methamphetimine, cocaine and heroin have also been detected. Domestic water delivered through municiple pipelines has lost its life essence. When consumed straight from the tap, the water has no ability to clean and restructure cells is the body. However, water can be re-structured and brought back to its own life-generating properties if it is stirred or agitatated before using, or placed in direct sunlight for a few hours in order to re-generate its natural life-giving properties. -12-

Humans have always looked for ancient secrets of healing. Artifacts found at ancient sites show that thermal pools and springs were the oldest healing centers on the planet. Our ancestors discovered miracles of physical rejuvenation, relief from pain, and the healing of illnesses at sites which were thought to be sacred because of the mysterious healing properties of water at such locations. Deities and saints have evolved around natural thermal pools and the natural sites first became shrines, then temples, then health retreats which have developed into many of todays therapeutic resort spas. Through the years, physicians have prescribed natural baths for the relief of many physical ailments while psychotherapists, spiritual practitioners and bodyworkers have encouraged soaking in hot springs or pools for emotional healing in conjunction with other therapies. From a purely scientific perspective, water is a delivery system that provides nutrients and removes toxins. But from an emotional and spiritual perspective, water is the healing medium which interfaces between the inner world and the outer world. By using ritual and ceremony in the bathing process such as is regularly done in natural settings, one can rid their emotional body of toxins that cause illnesses. Mineral, herbal, and nutritional solutions added to your home bathtub can provide the body with some of the vital elements of health but only soaking in unaltered natural waters can provide the most powerful emotional and spiritual healing therapy communion with Mother Earths ancient healing miracle of "the well." If you have no access to natural pools and springs, soaking in your home tub will also soften connective tissue, increase collagen, decrease joint pain, provide relief from muscle pain, muscle spasms and cramps, reduce toxins from the cells, reduce nervous stress, stimulate the immune system, and promote relaxation and recovery. -13-

Natural springs & pools

spiritual bathing
We seek a path that takes us closer to a relationship with God. We look for ways to feel at peace inside as we seek respite from the confusion and chaos of our lives outside. Bathing allows us to be transported to holy places, opening passages to our inner knowing, our intuition and our connections to all living beings. In the time it takes to release the stresses of the outside world and accept the peace of the inner worlds, we have experienced sacred rites of passage that change us forever. All humans experience a closeness to the Divine when they bath individually, with another or communally. Immersion is the equivalent, at the human level, of death at the cosmic level, of the cataclysm (the Flood) which peridoically dissolves the world into primeval ocean, writes Mircea Eliade, Water possesses the power of purifying, of regenerating, of giving new birth... because it nullifies the past and restores the integrity of the dawn of things. We think this is also because of the messages carried in the water messages that influence our DNA. To immerse in water is one method of receiving the messages in water. Sweating, splashing, anointing, sprinkling are some other ways to experience sacred transformation. When we call upon the power of water to clean the past and restore the balance, symbolic representations of water are just as powerful as the liquid God energy we drink, bathe in and observe through rain, fog or steam. The many faces of God are present in the many faces of water and all transport human experience through the pores of consciousness to the River of Love. -14-

Unfortunately, we cannot prevent the affects of environmental toxins from contaminating our bodies, but we can counter the affects by maintaining adequate mineral levels . Minerals absorbed through the skin while bathing or soaking improve the bodys electrical system, increasing its ability to transmit healing vibrations throughout the cells which move toxins out through the skin and the elimination system. Sea salts and other mixtures which include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, silica, sodium, magnesium and other trace minerals strengthen electro-magnetic resonance in the water which allows the minerals to easily conduct through the skin optimizing the bodys ability to defend itself against pollution, toxins, stress and infections.

Mineral Baths

Pollution clogs the air we breathe, making too many positive ions which trap oxygen and make it unavailable for adequate breath. Positive ions are larger particles which are not as easily absorbed through the lungs. We dont get a full restorative breath of air when too many positive ions are present in the air. This can zap the body of health and vitality. The energy in moving water releases huge quantities of negative ions which break up the large positive ion molecules producing an aerosole of smaller negatively charged particles and making the oxygen more accessible and easier to breath, allowing deep regenerative breaths of air. The minerals present in negatively charged sea water penetrate into the bloodstream immediately through the skin and rebalances and detoxifies the whole body. The ocean plants are natural antiseptics and their presence in the water balances the thyroid gland, making bathing in kelp beds extremely healing. Sea water enhances the regeneration of cells and tissue, and also balances the emotional system. Dead Sea salts added to the bath will produce similar benefits if you cannot bathe in the ocean.

ocean bathing

As mentioned above, negative ions produced by moving water can reinvigorate the body, mind and spirit. Beginning with a hot shower helps the pores to open and release toxins. Rubbing minerals on the skin at this stage will move vital nutrients into the circulatory system immediately. As you continue to enjoy the water spraying over your body, gradually decrease the temperature so it will further refresh and stimulate the circulation and close the pores. This process activates the energy meridians in the body and allows the chi to flow more easily throughout all systems. -15-

SHOWerING YOUR BODY WITH WATER

Historic Roman Bath, Turkish Bath and the Hammam were three types of baths that encouraged people to gather and use the bathing time for socializing as well as cleansing. People throughout history have had a deep fascination with social bathing which eventually took on religious significance in especially in Islamic countries. The hamman is a place where men and women bathe separately and have opportunities to feel comfortable and friendly with their peers as they eat, celebrate and cleanse. Today, you may encounter an attendant who will bathe you while you sit on a stool and receive all the attention, which usually involves a shampoo, a massage and deep, vigorous scrubbing. The Turkish bath involves more time lounging in the steam or fog, similar to saunas with the scrubbing and massaging process following your complete release and relaxation from the steam. Today there is practically nowhere in North America where public baths are in operation due to strict sanitation and moral codes. However in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, communal bathing is as much a religious and social experience as any other types of spiritual practices. To recreate the hammam experience in your own home, bring an oriental carpet into your bathroom, fill the tub with extremely hot water and close the doors and windows to allow the steam to build up in the room. You can use music of North Africa, Sufi, Islamic or other indigenous music. Make sure there is adequate room for yourself and the others you have invited in. Talk, pray, relax. Take turns climbing into the tub and scrub each other and wash each others hair. Massage each person or use a loofah sponge. Sip mint tea or Turkish coffee. Bathing generally activates hunger. Have some food to nibble on as you relax and enjoy the experience. There are many ways to participate in the process of sweating impurities. The Native Americans used sweat lodges which are low domed structures covered with blankets, leaves, mud or rocks, in which heated rocks are brought into the center as the participants sit unclothed around the center circle. As water is splashed on the rocks, intensely heated steam is created and permeates the skin producing effusive sweating. Usually, the particpant journeys during this cleansing bath. After a sweat, many participants jump into a cold running stream to finish the process. Northern Europeans developed the sauna, which is much the same process with hot lava rocks and cedar switches to sting the skin and make it more receptive to the healing vapor. During the sauna and afterwards, it is a common practice to run outside naked into the snow and roll around to cool the body. This closes the pores and invigorates the senses. Whatever sweat method you choose, the affects are deeply cleansing and spiritually transforming. -16-

Add the salt and place the mixture in a cheesecloth or a cloth drawstring bag. Let it steep like tea in the hot bath water. Soak for twenty minutes. As you soak in the waters, visualize all negative energies being washed from your consciousness as you prepare for a ceremony or use this bath to purge emotional toxins after experiencing a personal challenge. meditation bath Restores the electromagnetic systems and raises awareness of subtle energies 1 tbs. sea salt 1 whole lavender flower 3 marigold flowers Crush the salt and flowers together and place the mixture into a cheesecloth or cloth drawstring bag and allow the water to run over the pouch as it fills the tub before you get in. This will block negative energies from entering your etheric field. Take a candle with you to the tub and light it. Concentrate on your intent. While the candle is still lit, plunge it into the water to extinguish the fire. Leave it in the water. Settle into the warm water, relax and soak for 30 minutes.

SACRED WATER
by Vitaliy Geyman I kneel before you in my darkest night I pray with you in my brightest moments You touch my skin and penetrate my soul Humble, open, utterly defenseless, With every drop, I wash away illusions of my mind Like dew drops on my eye lids You help me see the truth My eyes are open wide, transparent, clear, nothing left to hide My dearest friend, you soothe me with your gentle touch Your sweet caress helps me find peace inside. Oh how I rejoice watching you dance in the sun light! A perfect image, a sincere reflection of the divine in us all.

SACRED WATER
Could it be that water, the common denominator connecting all life, is also the common denominator connecting all religions?
THE HOLY ORDER OF WATER

William E. Marks

Water that seeps or rushes forth from the rocky crevasses at its mountain source is imprinted with the vibrations of the plants, rocks, soil, trees and all life forms of that place. As it flows it carries with it, the perfectly preserved essence of its secret birthplace and acquires more along the way. All who find and drink from sacred wellsprings are rewarded with spiritual nourishment from the Earth Mother a drink of water which has not been altered by thought or deed but carries the frequency of creation itself. Sacred pools contain the pure water that has traveled over natural terrain. Because the pools maintain vibrations of the pure energy of creation from Earth Mother, these sacred places of the world are often used for baptisms, healing, rites of passage and birthing. Most religions today use sacred or holy water in their rites. We believe the ancients understood the concept of blessing the water to transform its molecular structure, thus turning it into medicine to heal, transform and bless the receiver. All water can be made sacred by infusing a sacrament into the liquid water braids where two spiralling vortexes wrap together, for it is there you will find the energy of implosion water creating energy and energy creating life -19-

The nature of water


The natural instinct of water is to move, spiral and spin. When it does, energy is generated and the water becomes charged with life. Though our senses are barely able to detect the taste difference between living water and depleted water, our bodies, which are made up of about 75% water and our brains, 85% water respond immeasurably better to the life-giving properties of moving, living water. This is also called clustered water, and the energies generated in clustered water replenish all life forms. Humans are revitalized by drinking living water and bathing or swimming in living water. This accounts for the numbers of people who claim to feel much better when they get away for a few days to visit the ocean, a stream or river. Water has very distinct behaviors and energy patterns as it flows. Whenever water meets an obstacle, the flow will turn back on itself creating a vortex spiral. Water is never still even if it appears to be so to the naked eye. It makes myriad flow patterns within itself that we cant detect. Where water flows over rocky beds and stones, it is there we will see water braids which are vortexes that intertwine with each other. In the braids, where two spiraling vortexes wrap together, you will find the energy of implosion water creating energy and energy creating life.

FLOWFORMS WATERBRAIDS
Moving water is healthy water. It holds resonance and vibrational patterns and conducts electrochemical responses. When water is allowed to flow, it creates vortexes that help it to oxygenate and clean itself of bacteria and toxins, revitalizing all it comes into contact with. Even the smallest flows will create these patterns as they move along through and on top of sand, soil, rocks and other obstructions. Water that stands in one place without movement becomes deactivated and contaminated. Water that has lost its ability to flow a natural course through rocks and natural obstructions is depleted and lacking in vital restorative minerals and nutrients. This is why water which flows as a result of deforestation or roadbuilding and is channeled away from its natural courses in natural places is water that has lost its vitality. Water needs to be able to clean itself and regenerate electromagetic charges as it encounters a gentle flowing course. Water delivered through the pipes into our homes has lost its life and needs to be stirred or agitated before it can begin to restructure itself into a healing, nutritional life-generating essence. Restructured domestic water improves the health of humans, pets and gardens or houseplants.

The Sound of WateR & HEALING


Medical healers from ancient cultures believed that our organs resonated or vibrated at the same rate as musical notes. Through the years, this has been proven using scientific methods. With each note, a ripple pattern is formed within the fluid of a cell, an organ or the entire blood and circulatory system. This is called a Cymatic Pattern, and when the sound produces this wave pattern, it affects subtle energies in our bodies that happen to share those same frequency patterns. Deep studies have been made through the ages to understand how an a not affects us, as well as all the other sounds sung or played near the body. You can sing the notes in a musical scale and influence the Chakra centers along the spine. If you make vowel sounds, very specific organs and body meridians are affected. The seed sounds of the ancient Sanskrit Mantras allow the Cymatic Patterns to open our cells to higher dimensional vibrations for healing and rejuvenation or for experiencing God. Water that moves also makes sounds that have the same Cymatic Patterns as musical notes. There are the sounds of raindrops, a babbling brook, the sound of a waterfall, the roar of whitewater, the thunderous roar of ocean waves. When water sounds are experienced, our body reacts as if it is like music to our ears, meaning that the water sounds activate the same vibrational frequencies as music producing the same healing affect on cells as music. When water is influenced by music directly, it takes on particular vibrations that the water will remember. If the sounds have been harmonious and positive, the water will share its resonance in positive ways with all the cells it encounters. If however, the water has been influenced with harsh, dissonant sounds, the influence to surrounding cells will be a negative influence and could actually create aggitation or illness. From detailed studies done in the 60s and 70s, we know that plants grow better when they are exposed to harmonious musical sounds and fail to thrive when they are exposed to loud, harsh sounds. This is because a plant is about 90% water and the cells respond identically as water responds. Our cells come alive with the sounds of music and our water is naturally affected by all the sounds we expose it to, making it true that we are what we hear.

Water As a musical instrument


Ocean waves repeat their endless rhythm sometimes pounding like great bass drums and other times lapping the shore with the sound of steel brushes on brass cymbals. Many composers and musicians have been inspired by the sound of water and have used it both as a background for other musical creations or as the main instrument by itself. Listening for the rhythm of nature, we find that the sound of water in any form reaches into our primal nature and subconsciously connect us to our life force deeper and more profoundly than any other rhythms and melodies of human-created music. Water is the only element we know of that acts as a lullaby to most people even as it pounds against the surf, showers down in torrential deluges or tinkles on a shed roof. Entire cultures or indigenous tribes have created instruments that use water to produce tone and resonance. Waterfilled drums, gourds and other vessels have been used to produce a pleasing resonant percussion, while many cultures use water whistles to produce a full range of haunting sounds. In San Francisco, out on a jetty, there is a Wave Organ that transmits musical notes and other subtle sounds of the sea through partially submerged pipes responding to the tides. Beyond all this, the earth sings its own song in babbling brooks, waterfalls, and raindrops soothing our spirits and providing music that connects us to the heartbeat of the Earth Mother. -23-

RAINDROPS ON MY CABIN ROOF MESSAGES FROM THE SKY REMIND ME HOW MUCH WE ARE IN LOVE THE EARTH AND I.

Clean DRINKING water for all


Is safe drinking water a commodity to be bought and sold by multi-national corporations or controlled by governments? Should our governments be responsible for cleaning up the groundwater, the rivers, lakes and oceans because of the damage caused by industry and agriculture? Are countries with less water poised to fight water wars against countries that have an abundance? Is water the new oil and will superpowers use it to gain political and military status in the world? Is access to clean drinking water a fundamental human right and should it be provided to the people free or very inexpensively? These questions are being asked more and more these days. And we dont have answers. What we do know is that at least 30% of the people on the planet have no access to clean drinking water and no ability to pay no matter what corporations and governments may want to charge. Water is finally being considered by many to be the most precious resource on the planet. But clean, fresh, drinking water is growing scarcer by the decade. All over the world, water is contaminated by industrial pollution and waterborne disease pathogens causing on the average of 400 deaths per hour from dysentery and other intestinal illnesses. Today, there is slow progress to provide access to safe drinking water worldwide and currently 1.2 billion people on the planet are without a source for water that isnt contaminated with the effluent and toxins caused by industry and the inability of humans to insist on the protection of their watersheds and water resources. Environmental physicists have found ways to clean the dirty water in many villages from Mexico to the Philippines. And currently, there are hundreds of water-interest groups helping to bring information and clean water technology into areas that suffer from a lack of potable, safe water. But the work is slow due to political and financial constraints. We believe that when safe water is available for all beings on the planet, this will be the first step to global health and wellbeing, bringing about peace for all. Water Peace. -24-

Peace-full water blessings


The idea of water remembering vibrations and resonance as it travels through our lives and around the world is not new. The practice of using water for homeopathy and biological healing in humans has been practiced for millions of years from ancient tribal healing applications to contemporary alternative methodologies. But this concept that water is a carrier of information, is still considered unorthodox science in our modern technological world and because of this, very few scientists research the health benefits and the psychological and spiritual benefits of using water to transform illness, belief systems and consciousness and even world peace. But if we begin to think of Earth Homeopathy, water as a carrier of medicine to heal the planet and to heal the emotions of the people on the planet, we are beginning to see a new way to practice peace on earth. Dr. Masaru Emoto began experimenting with the consciousness of water long after experiments with water had been performed by Dr. Jacque Benveniste in France in the late 80s. Though the information was released to mass consciousness at that time, Benvenistes greatest challenge was getting his scientific peer reviewers to acknowledge his work. Dr. Emoto has produced some of the same experiments as Benveniste but he found a way to get his inforomation out to the spiritual community to people who cant ignore such important research. Those who understand that all of life is supported by the four elements, and those who understand that all living beings share a consciousness have no difficulty believing and witnessing the evidence that water does have a consciousness since it, too, is a living thing. And they have no problem accepting that they can influence not only the waters they use, but the waters of the world used by all life forms. Since 90% of the earths surface is covered by water, it seems only natural that water could become the carrier of consciousness to places where peace is being challenged and where people are suffering from domination, fear and degradation. In our desire to promote world peace, perhaps it is possible that our peace prayers go into the water we drink the water we use and the waters which flow through our bioregions. In this way, our healing, loving intentions will mix with the rain, the clouds, the snow, be carried by the winds and travel the oceans to the areas where peace is needed right now. The next time you pray for peace, consider sending your prayers to water and allow the resonant abilities of water to carry the healing messages of love and peace to where they will do the most good.

The Waters of Life


Our lives are like fluid reflections of perfection, flowing through myriad changes and transformations just like water. Like water, we flow through our lives experiencing a sea of abundance and then suffer the evaporation of resources pulled from us into puffy dark rain clouds. Our emotional releases are like the tears of a great river roaring down a mountainside. Our tiny drops of sweat are evidence of our labor, emerging from the invisible pores in our skin cooling us back to comfort. A refreshing sprinkle of dawn dew drops makes an appearance on the awakening roses while moistening our sleepfilled consciousness and replenishing our senses. Exquisite crystalline snowflakes show us a gift when all else looks cold and grey. The misty breath of our soul announces the renewal of our essential selves to the early spring even as our fearful state of frozen ambitions appear like rock-hard ice caps waiting for the seasonal warmth of love to melt the edges and take us back into a slow, comfortable flow. We are made of water and we respond to life like water in rhythmic, rushing, drifting, rippling. surging, bubbling, melting, freezing, flowing ways. To understand water is to understand human nature. To understand water is to understand all of life.
