The Beauty and Power of Water

When we read or hear recommendations about health, or healthy ways of living that we’ve heard over and over again, we often stop listening! We become a bit complacent, often saying to ourselves “I already know that, and I already do that”. This must certainly be the case with water! How many times have you heard about the importance of drinking enough water? But do you really know how important water is, and how beneficial it is to stay optimally hydrated… read on and I promise you’ll begin to see water in a whole new light!

Do you need reminding that water is essential to life?

Do you need telling, again, that water is fundamental to the efficiency and working of every one of the trillions of cells in your body and brain?

Surely you don’t need to hear, another time, that quality, clean water is crucial to the metabolism, and therefore, in the creation of energy…

You know all this stuff right? Or maybe not, in which case, you’ll no doubt be grateful for the following reminders!

Dr Darren Weissman, author of “The Power of Infinite Love and Gratitude” reminds us of some key facts about water within the body…

* Your body is 75% water, 25% solid matter
* Your blood is 82% water
* Your lungs are nearly 90 % water
* Your brain tissue is 85% water

Water within us carries “life” to every space and corner of the body… oxygen and nutrients into cells, waste out of cells, and (as you are about to find out) vibrations and “information” in the form of thoughts and emotions. Quite simply, we are one big stream of flowing water! I wonder how clean your stream is? Is it pristine and flowing, or is it dirty and stagnant?

Water, energy, vibrations and emotions
Did you know that the water within us, as well as the water that exists outside of us is affected by sound & vibration, and even our own thoughts & emotions?

Japanese researcher Dr Masaru Emoto has attracted worldwide attention in recent years, with his groundbreaking “Messages from Water” documentation. It has now become very clear to scientists that vibrational energy (music, sound, thoughts and emotions) affects the molecular structure, and “power” of water.

It first began when Dr. Emoto decided to see what effects music had on the structuring of water by placing distilled water between two speakers for several hours, and then photographing the crystals that formed after the water was frozen. After seeing just how water reacted to different environmental conditions, pollution and music, Emoto and his colleagues then decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of water crystals. The results are truly astounding! You can see some of Dr Emoto’s photographs of the amazing effects of thoughts and the environment on water, on Dr Darren Weissman’s site…

This new and enlightening information has huge implications on our health and well-being. Not only do we now know the effect of vibrational energy on the structure of water… we also know (beyond a shadow of a doubt) that the body is made up mostly of water! This is a very important connection to make – and understand.

Remember your thoughts and emotions are vibrations…
When you have negative thoughts, the water in your body can “lose” its structure, reflecting those negative thoughts. As Dr. Darren Weissman says, “Water is a mirror. Water doesn’t think, it just reflects. It’s a conduit, carrying information, no matter what that vibration is.” Similarly, if you have positive thoughts, the water in your body reflects positive thoughts. Our thoughts can also affect the body’s ability to use water. Postive, “free-flowing” thoughts allow the water in our bodies to flow freely.

Maybe, now, we shall all look at the importance of water in a whole new light?

Water truly is “alive”, conscious, and highly responsive to every one our emotions and thoughts, as well as our environments. So this week, take a moment to consider the quality (and quantity) of the water flowing into your bodies, as well as the environment you are living in, and the thoughts, emotions and spoken words that you are using. Create calm and happiness where, and whenever possible, and do your very best to “go with the flow”!

How much water do I need to drink?
The amount of water one person needs can be vastly different to another person’s needs – just as is the case with food! Our water needs are dependent on the environment, or temperature of our surroundings, how much water is in the food we eat (high water foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, and meals such as soups, salads and juices), how many dehydrating fluids and foods we consume (e.g. caffeinated beverages, diuretic herbal teas, alcohol, sugar, sugary drinks etc.), how active we are and consequently how much fluid we lose through sweat, and finally, how much lean tissue versus fat we carry. That’s right, our body composition determines in part our fluid needs.

Obvious signs that indicate you’re not drinking enough water can include over-heating, flushing of the skin, headaches, skin itchiness, dry skin, and constipation. However one of the best ways to determine your unique hydration status is to monitor the colour of your pee! Use the chart above, and experiment with increasing your water intake slowly, across the day, until your urine is the colour indicated by the numbers 1, 2 or 3 on the colour scale. Remember plain water, as well as the above-mentioned hydrating foods and meals, all contribute to “watering” the body effectively. Your fluid needs may therefore change on a daily basis.

The Pee Chart
 This is a quick and easy way to know instantly whether you are hydrated, mildly dehydrated, or worse – severely dehydrated! Check out the pee chart here… your target is to make sure your pee is the same colour as the numbers 1, 2, or 3. Colours 4 and 5 suggest dehydration and numbers 7 and 8, severe dehydration.
