Falling in Love with Water…
One of the deepest mysteries of the Energy Coaching tradition is the initiation through Water. We are born perfectly hydrated. Within a few years of life, we slowly lose that perfect state of hydration to exist in an ongoing state of semi-dehydration. It is this state that researchers (see below) have pinpointed as the core cause of most of the diseases and mental difficulties that ail us. When properly hydrated, things work beautifully. Without enough water, we sludge along at a fraction of our capacity, susceptible to diseases, mechanical dysfunction and emotional fragility. Our bodies are over 70% water. Fail to replenish this supply, and your success at Energy work will be marginalized for both you and your clients. It is therefore the Energy Coach’s first instruction both for themselves and their clients to:
“Drink water! Lots of it!”
The work that we do in Energy Coaching is accomplished through the physical mediators of nerve and muscle. These in turn run best when very well hydrated. Water is needed to grease the mechanisms by which our tissues do their various jobs and also to carry away waste products. I will therefore pass along to you the first commandment that Margaret Hennessey, my Touch for Health teacher quipped: “Thou shalt drink a minimum of eight, 8 ounce glasses of water per day. No less than that shalt thou drink, and let the water be pure!” Being British, Margaret also believed heartily in a good strong cup of tea on a regular basis, but it’s best to leave tea and coffee for occasional treats due to their dehydrating, acidifying effects.
Like many people, I’ve been an ardent devotee of coffee, tea and soda. I finally had the penny drop on water as a cure when I connected a number of seemingly unrelated symptoms to dehydration. As a result, I have spent the past year falling in love with water and coming home to its incredible powers of healing, age-proofing, meditation and depth. Also for its pliability, programmability and how soft it makes my skin when I drink lots of it. More and more as I up my intake of pure water, interesting things are occurring within my biocircuit. I am increasingly able to think about a thing one moment and it literally appears the next. The time between observing that change is desirable and that change being implemented has shortened dramatically and since I’ve upped my intake of water, I’m not hungry at all. Dr. Batman [see below] says that most hunger pangs are really signals of thirst. With all this water on board, I’m hydrated and my stomach is comfortably full, hence am eating less. I’m losing weight, my skin glows and I’ve not had major illness since upping my intake of water. I feel lighter, cleaner and very, very calm. All in all, a grand and excellent thing.
A Japanese researcher, Dr. Masaru Emoto has been sharing some interesting observations about water in his Messages From Water books which interestingly corroborate the properties of water that spiritual practitioners have long worked with. The reviewer from Amazon’s website shares these perceptions:
"The Hidden Messages in Water is an eye-opening theory showing how water is deeply connected to people’s individual and collective consciousness. Drawing from his own research, scientific researcher, healer, and popular lecturer Dr. Masaru Emoto describes the ability of water to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. Using high-speed photography, he found that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward it. Music, visual images, words written on paper, and photographs also have an impact on the crystal structure. Emoto theorizes that since water has the ability to receive a wide range of frequencies, it can also reflect the universe in this manner. He found that water from clear springs and water exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns, while polluted water and water exposed to negative thoughts forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. Emoto believes that since people are 70 percent water, and the Earth is 70 percent water, we can heal our planet and ourselves by consciously expressing love and goodwill."
While this may seem a stretch for some, this concurs with current theory about energy therapies and is a perfect complement to them. Folks have been charging water since prehistoric times to help and heal. Baptist and Mormon ministers, Catholic priests and Jewish mothers as well as shamanic practitioners all do this. Water is commonly used as a sacred element in many rituals of healing and sacrament as from ancient times, we knew that water had the ability to hold resonance. Spiritual masters of all traditions blessed water to be given to the sick and water as a sacred substance is used to baptize, cleanse and nourish. Since most illnesses have their roots in chronic dehydration, water’s ability to heal is not as much of a stretch as it might first appear. And if water were given the added imprint of loving, perfected energy, such as the Hado or "universal" frequency of perfection Dr. Emoto speaks of, such charged water would invite the fibers it hydrates to resonate at that same frequency, as it is absorbed. Reiki is one well-known energy therapy that taps into this universal harmonic and its essence is said to be “universal life-force energy”. All energy therapies tap into the universal frequency however, whether they say so or not. And that energy can only move perfectly thorough the body when it is well hydrated. And what water can do is sheer magic.
Water Magic If you want to try and amp-up your energy when you intake water, here is a simple water charging/cleansing that the women of my family (who are very superstitious on my Welsh granny’s side) use to purify our family’s drinking water. This is magic of the holiest sort. How does this work? You are bringing your intent, or resonance into contact with the main constituent of your physical body, creating sympathetic resonance between both you and it until you both resonate at the Universal Perfection frequency. Be reverential as you hold the water vessel – you’re holding your family’s very health in your hands (and your own – you should be drinking your own product!). This is the magical part…and what would magic be without an incantation? Here it is, incant with good cheer as you feel or visualize the container filling with pure white light:
"O pure and perfect creature of water, I cast out all unclean within you Let light and love dwell here within With (Deity’s) hand upon it So it is, blessed be it"
Or words to that effect. You can substitute your Deity of choice or not, as you wish. The point is to raise the vibration of the water if it’s polluted, passed through the hands of a negative person (becoming imprinted with negativity) or otherwise contaminated. The goal is to raise the energy frequency to water’s most perfect expression. You could also say that you’re trying to get water’s most basic and pure molecular format, or you could see it as raising water’s frequency to, as Wayne Dyer says in his landmark book The Power of Intention, “the intent of the mind of God”.
Simple chants like this are a form of prayer that ask politely for the Divine to cast out any unclean spirits (or pollution, or negative thoughtform impressions, etc.) and return the water to it’s original pure and perfect state. A simple matter, also easily accomplished with no chant or supplication, just the power of one’s focused intent. Choose your tool, each will get the job done. And when you consume such positively and lovingly charged water, you will notice a wonderful boost of energy and a cleaner feeling to your entire system. To get as near to perfect as possible before we even get out of the gate, start with water that has already been purified, preferably by carbon block filtration. Advanced Mages will want to go even further and use a pure-sourced water such as Trinity or Evian. Recommendation: Do this little blessing at least once a day, if not more often. Repeat often, as desired and drink deep of health, purity and perfection.
As I was reflecting on the immense healing power of water I thought how nice a thing it is to love your family so much that you want them to drink only the best, and that the essential elixir vitæ is both medicament and “Wellness Aid Numero Uno”. My grandmother Mimi served up water for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a huge blue Delftware pitcher replete with little Dutch boy and windmill. She had a way of brushing the pitcher with her hand before putting it on the table. Her lips would move in the briefest of blessings as she set the pitcher down, and always before the first grabby grandbaby (often me) clapped grubby paws to the drink. I still have that pitcher today and it still radiates the gentle loving my grandmother, then mother, and now myself, put into it. What a sacred treasure!
What small, comforting rituals can you develop to make sure you are fully hydrated and taking in the loving intent and other qualities you want in your life?
Recommended Resources on Water
You will want to get for your office, and suggest to your clients the absolute source on water as a healing potion, a physician with the rather interesting name of "Dr Batman" who has several wonderful books on the subject that quite enlightened us all. Dr. Fereydoon Batmangelidj advocates moisture of the purest kind as a panacea – water, and only water as a restorative, antihistamine, anti-cancer agent and a direct counteractant to back pain and obesity. All of these topics caught my eye as I raced with wild abandon through his Water for Health, For Healing, For Life: You’re not Sick, You’re Thirsty! Dr. Batmangelidj was a political prisoner in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. Pressed into service to doctor other inmates and having little else, he began scientific experimentation with water as medicine. During this time he documented miraculous cures by giving copious quantities of water, and only water to his patients. His website speaks of this and of collusion between organized medicine and the drug companies to conceal the fact that dehydration is the cause of most illness:
"It is chronic dehydration that causes the pains and degenerative diseases of the human body." It is clinically and scientifically clear that the human body has many distinct ways of showing its general or local water needs. Depending on where there is water shortage, many localized complications such as asthma are produced. We believe this information has been methodically and fraudulently concealed until now. Over 18 years of research has now revealed a simple natural cure for so many painful and serious health problems. It is called "WATER CURE." - Dr. F. Batmangelidj
Guess what? those "eight, eight ounce glasses" are just a starting point. Pour a pinch of salt on your hand every morning says Dr. B., and lick it off before your first glass of water for the day. That will keep just enough moisture inside your body. Enjoy the experience of enlightenment. Very enlightening, particularly combined with the action of further charging the massive amount of water you NEED to take into your body every day with the positive intent of whatever you need in your life right now. Wouldn’t that be an interesting thing to play with? I wonder what that would get you and your clients if you blessed your water with intent every day, as many times a day as you filled your glass, for the next year? Sheer magic, and one we cannot do without.
May You Never Thirst!
