Water, the Emotional Element

January 2, 2013

Water is the element that is designed to soothe emotional ailments. Hot springs have been regarded as healing and medicine power centers by many different cultures. The belief that sacred rivers and springs can act as oracles, healers, and powerful symbolic medicine is widespread.  Ponce de Leon and his crew were seeking that ultimate liquid cure in Florida when they discovered Miami Beach. Water, and the flow of water, is the essence of life.

When water on earth is redirected by man sometimes disaster follows.  Levees break and floods devastate.  The body can only tolerate so much redirection or misuse of the water element before debilitating consequences occur.  We were not created to drink only beer and diet soda, just as  the Colorado River was not created to irrigate all of the southwestern US.  The result is about the same in the body as in the CAP aqueduct that evaporates the Colorado River water in an open trough while it travels all the way across Arizona to Tucson.  Once the kidneys have been compromised in the human body, and the adrenals shot to hell by stress, years of chronic dehydration cannot be reversed. Confusion rules.

Water also has the effect of reversing gravity, which may be the strongest reason it is emotional medicine. Floating is highly underrated.  When the world has you down, notice it is just gravity, and the remedy is at hand…….cool clear water.  Drink some, immerse yourself in some, even if only in a bath.  Hydrate your emotional life and your dreams with pure clean water. Santé!
