Take one part hydrogen and two parts oxygen—what you get is the vessel through which all life flows. Water puts out fire; makes earth mud. The airy element becomes mist or rain.

Water is life or death, the most powerful element, so versatile yet so fragile. This element founds all that is, as manifested in fountains for drinking, viewing, hearing and the healthful negative ions it adds to the atmosphere. For therapy, value steam caves, or take a simple facial when you open the dishwasher and enjoy its sterilizing steam. Water is the cooler of beverages and preserves food and resources by merely lowering the surrounding temperature.

At 0° Celsius, water becomes a solid; at 99.97° a cooking and sterilizing agent. Water as steam powers vehicles—this is the power of water. Our bodies are made up of approximately 80% water, the hydrator and quencher of thirst. In the last twenty years, it has taken over as the #1 choice of beverage—it’s what your body wants most. Our precious oceans our lakes are not to be taken for granted or abused.

Although Water seems moody under the influence of gravitational forces, in its crystalline structure, it is an accurate and beautiful holder of information. Yet Water seems sensitive to the positive or negative influences of the collective unconscious. Dr. Masaru Emoto (author of Messages in Water) has found that when water is blessed by a Zen Buddhist monk, and then frozen, in a laboratory, it creates surreal shapes, “snowflake-like” in appearance, which can only be described as of breathtaking beauty. In contrast, if the water is subject to negative words and threats, the shapes resemble cancer cells under a microscope. Dr. Emoto is continuing his research on the power of water and its ability to store and respond to information.

Water droplets are round and look like rainbows, in hues coordinating to the seven main chakra colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, an all-in-one microcosm of the earth’s energy matrix. Water conducts electrical impulses from the macrocosmic ether to the water-filled microcosmic planet and her inhabitants.

Water has its insidious side. It can erode the strongest of solids over a long time, changing the structure entirely, without witness, the only element that we can’t physically watch as it dismantles and re-routes matter. Water is loyal, forgiving, adaptable, dangerous and life-saving. This element is straightforward in its yet-so-gentle demands of respect.

People born with the sun in a water sign can attest to the sensitivity it bestows upon the personality. Canada has more lakes than all the rest of the world and interestingly enough also falls under the Sun sign Cancer, one of the most sensitive of all the water signs.
Now is the “Age of Aquarius”, the age of awareness and response-ability. An electrical current is symbolized by the hieroglyph , the symbol of the water bearer: a human holding an urn, from which the liquid intelligence and life blood of the universe flows. A symbol of the new age era...

We are the Keepers of this element and all it represents. The life Water supports, in its constant, selfless nourishing flow, is the sustenance of life itself. All this, and yet it’s free! Gifts like this from Mother Nature must be revered with love, respect, and appreciation; must be worshipped and protected. This is the least we can do.

Love and Beams of Violet Light.
