Water Magic
Water covers almost 70% of our blue planet. In Nature, water is the only element which can exist in three different states simultaneously: liquid, solid, and vapor. The structure of water, two hydrogen molecules bonded with one oxygen molecule, allows the sharing of electrons between the molecules, and between the elements of the atmosphere and environment around it. H2O is the second most common molecule in the Universe (behind hydrogen). There are a hundred times as many water molecules in your body than the sum of all the other molecules in you put together. Your body is almost 70% water. Every bit of water that ever was on our planet is still on our planet. Earth can never run out of water because we live in a closed environmental system. The atmosphere holds all the water in a perpetual cycle of regeneration—just like magic!
Life evolves and continues only in the presence of liquid water. Life gestates in amniotic fluid, and birth begins with the “breaking of water”—just like magic!
Venus (a.k.a. Aphrodite), goddess of love and beauty, rose fully formed from the sea. She is shown here being blown to the shore by Zephyros, known as the fructifying wind and the messenger of Spring. Here Venus is seen as the Maiden. Venus’ father was Neptune (a.k.a. Poseidon), god of the oceans. Where there is love there is water—even if it is thundering in your blood and through your heart. God is love. HU is one of the many names of God. The words humid and humanity both include HU, and refer to water and to God. The word “joy” shares the same root as “oil.” When humans have a fluid flow in life, everything seems blessed. Life is joyous and loving. When the flows of joy and love dry up, life gets pretty rough. To get back to the magic of flow, one must return to the water, or HU. Venus symbolizes the receptive feminine energy (yin). She is the yielding, watery principle personified—or deified in this case. Water is the source of love and joy…and life!
Water is sacred in many of the world’s religions. “Mar” is the Latin word for “sea” or “water.” The names Mary and Maria are built from this Latin root. Mary, mother of Jesus, is always shown wearing blue—like the sea. Her archetype aligns strongly with that of Venus, but Mary is the Madonna. Mothers give milk —the liquid that helps get you started in life. Baptisms and blessings are done with Holy water. Saint Teresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Church who was a strong believer in the power of Holy water, wrote that she used it with success to repel evil and temptations. “I know by frequent experience that there is nothing which puts the devils to flight like Holy water.” Springwater seeks the light. Many springs and wells are considered hallowed (holy), but all water is sacred (secret).
After a long time without water, when the rains come, plants green up and bloom in no time at all. The air smells fresh and everything feels washed clean. In fact, we recreate this experience every day in the shower because it changes our energy field from grungy to fresh—just like magic!
Water is more magical than you may have imagined. If you’re looking for science, however, there is plenty of that too. According to Neils Bohr, the Nobel Prize winning physicist, water, like all matter, is not only aware, it is supportive of you. You may not know, however, that water has memory. It records within its structure the thoughts, emotions, and images of all it witnesses. There is plenty of scientific research to back this statement, such as Masaru Emoto’s Message in the Water, but there are many other published studies that reveal water records everything it witnesses. For more research, see Water, The Great Mystery, available at Amazon.com or on YouTube.com; along with many other videos on that site, such as the one at http://youtu.be/ILSyt_Hhbjg
As you fully integrate the realization that water has a memory, you begin to expand your awareness to take in the thought that the water that comes out of your faucet has been in a closed loop system for many years. As your water moves through the city’s treatment plants you get the same water back over and over again. And that water is full of all sorts of human emotion and experiences-—voiced and unvoiced, nice and not so nice. The feelings resonate with vibrations and, as you know, water vibrates when exposed to sound. Everything does, it’s just easier to see it in water. (For more information on how sound makes shape—how words affect matter—check out cymatics on YouTube.)
You drink the water. You give it to your children and your pets. You cook with it, bathe in it, and play in it. You water your garden fruits and veggies with it, then eat the produce. You are taking in more than you realize. Remember, your body is almost 70% water. Therefore, every word you say is carried in the water’s memory. Your body absorbs up to half a gallon of water in a shower. Houston’s humidity is legendary. Walking from your car to your office, your skin and lungs absorb the water from the air. Let’s look at some ways you can tap into the magic of that water…
