Water Magic!

What Makes Water So Magical?

When you sink into a warm bath or spa, or step under a cascading shower, you may suddenly find yourself in a different reality, the reality of water magic! Relaxation takes over. Creativity is unleashed. Inspirations pop up.

A few days ago, as I was taking a shower, I was spontaneously transported to a primeval rain forest, complete with singing birds and ancient trees. It’s a reality that often hovers just at the edge of my conscious awareness — the realm of our elven/faery cousins.

This time, the forest was all around me and it felt like a long-lost home. It’s a reality that is always present in a slightly more subtle dimension, available to access whenever we slow down enough to notice it. And water can help us relax into it.

In fact, our modern water still carries the imprint of that primeval forest, even when it flows out of our faucets and shower heads. We just have to open our awareness to remember.

After all, it is the same water that has existed for millions of years on our planet, flowing though rivers, tree branches and the veins of animals. And water has a memory.

Dr. Emoto

Have you seen Dr. Emoto’s experiments? He placed containers of water over different words and then froze it in thin sheets. The water from containers with positive words, like love and thank you, made beautiful, harmonious patterns, but water exposed to negative words made distorted patterns. Water remembers!

What patterns are you creating in the water that you touch, or the water that flows in your own body? Are you programing it with beautiful, uplifting words and thoughts? Something to think about.

What is it About Water that Can Shift Our Consciousness?

Water is a powerful element with healing, nurturing, and transformative properties, but what makes water so magical?

It’s not just the physical combination of two gasses, hydrogen and oxygen, that create a liquid. That seems magical in itself, but there is something even more magical about water.

Water Elementals: Nature’s Gentle Spirits

Water elementals, also known as undines, are the living spirits of water. They inhabit water in all its forms and govern its flow and movement. These spirits are often associated with calmness and serenity, reflecting the soothing nature of water.

Yet water can also come in torrents, tsunamis and floods. The power of water can slowly wear away stone over time or quickly wash away buildings, trees and cars in a tsunami. Water hydrates our bodies and brings life to thirsty plants. Without it, life could not exist as we know it and our bodies and souls recognize its power.

No wonder water can pull us into an altered state!

That is the influence of the undines, the sentient elemental beings of water. You may have never seen them, or even been aware of their existence, but they know you and work with the other elementals of Earth, Air, Fire and Ether to keep you alive. They flow in your blood, tears and lymph.

Otherworldly Showers and Baths

Showers and baths can be magical experiences when approached with intention. By consciously appreciating the undines, or perhaps creating a ritual to honor them with soft lighting, calming scents and soothing sounds, you can transform your baths and showers into rejuvenating, otherworldly experiences.

Be aware of the subtle realms around you and within you. Water can help you commune with your spirit guides and angels as well as your own inner wisdom.

Mindfully immersing yourself in these moments of relaxation will help you leave the stress of daily life behind and fully embrace the healing power of water.

Who knows, you may even find yourself transported to a primeval rain forest!
