When working with water, intent is always the key. Being clear with your intent and knowing how to align with its energy field will bring you anything in the form of emotions, thoughts, ideas, visions and the most wonderful love, if this is truly your intent.
Exercise: When standing beside running water, place both of your hands together, and rub them back and forth for about thirty seconds. As you are doing this, think only good thoughts. Once you have done this for about thirty seconds, separate your hands about four inches. At this point you will feel the energy of heat moving between your hands. This is your Chi or life energy, the life force of who you truly are. This is the energy for healing. When you receive this energy flowing through your hands, say “Thank you” to the energy.
Continue doing this for a while, playing with the energy that is coming through your hands. Become one with it. Try making a ball with the energy while at the same time continuing to think good thoughts. After doing this for a couple of minutes, turn and aim both of your hands toward the water. Now send the water the energy that you are receiving through your hands. Say “Thank you” to the water for being there and helping you to sustain life here on Earth.
If you are doing this correctly and with a clear intent, you will begin to feel the water sending back to you its healing energy. If you are open to receiving the water’s energy, you will begin to know that you are much more than your physical body and mind.
Water is truly a liquid consciousness in its purest form. It is a liquid brain and at the same time beyond the brain, with ideas and doorways available to each and every one of us, simply awaiting our return to an awareness that we have long forgotten. Water introduces to us realities and universes beyond our mind’s wildest imagination. Water is the great healer, for it teaches us how to flow with the obstacles of life.
Water is brought forth through tears when we experience magnificent beauty. During a sense of loss, tears are brought forth in order to heal us. With the sound of beautiful notes played within the world of music, water comes forth teaching us how to surrender.
Water teaches us forgiveness, for when we watch it we learn how to move around obstacles and to let go of conditions that appear to be in our way. Water does not remain stuck. If it would, it would become unhealthy, change color and become sick. If water became stuck there would be no clouds, no rain, no creeks, no oceans and no rivers. It knows how to survive, for it is life in the purest form.
The same thing pertains to the physical human body. In many cases people end up getting sick due to bacteria forming in the colon. This happens when the digestive system fails to properly move the flow of energy through the body. The energy becomes stagnant, and the body becomes sick. To maintain a healthy body we must learn how to move the energy through our body. The same is true for negative thoughts and feelings. We must learn how to properly dispose of them. There is a saying by a Buddhist Monk, “No Mind No Problem”.
The next time you go to the water, say “Hello” to the area when you arrive. Say “Hi” to the Birds, acknowledge the wind, say “Hi” to the trees and to whatever you pass on the trail to the water. Once you arrive at the water, start by saying “Thank you” to the water for being there. Remember your body is predominantly water. This being so, there truly has to be a relationship between you and the water. It is family!
Then, find a comfortable place to sit with your back facing upstream and place your awareness down-stream. This is the position for letting go. When you place your back in this position, it forces things to move through you and out of you. Close your eyes, and begin to let go of whatever may be bothering you in the present moment. Are you still holding onto a relationship that fell apart? Is there someone or something you have lost and are having a difficult time letting go of? This is the place to do it. Listen to the water as it moves behind you.
Let your attachment to whatever it is flow out of you, and allow the sound of the water to take it away and heal it for you. Send your prayers, repeat the words Love and Gratitude five times, and then say “Thank you.” The timing of this process is truly up to You. Do it until it feels right. I usually take about 20 minutes to do this. Remember, whatever it is that you are letting go of, it came to you for a reason. Although you may not yet know why, this is not important. All that is important is that you let it go with Love and Gratitude.
Once you have completed letting go, turn your body around and face your attention upstream as the water comes toward you. This is the position for bringing newness into your life. Once again, say “Thank you” to the water and know as the water runs toward you, it brings a blessing upon you. Ask for whatever it is that you would have come into your life. Now close your eyes, and listen to the water.
The process of manifestation must be done with gratitude for it to be any worth. Intentions that are set upon the foundation of gratitude are the ones that rest upon love. Remain with your eyes closed for about 20 minutes and listen to the sounds of the water. Feel its energy as it moves through you. Once you are clear on what it is that you wish to manifest, say “Thank you,” and let it go. At this point you have set your intention, and now simply watch the universe as it brings forth that which you have set into motion.
Now comes the most difficult stage of all, the stage where you must give yourself permission to receive that which you have asked for. You must see yourself as worthy to receive what you ask. Once you can truly do this, simply get out of the way of your mind, and bring yourself to being present in the now of your day. Let the water purify you, and allow the manifestation which you set into motion to become part of your reality. ~ Learn more about water in “Sacred Water” Book & DVD by Robert Berman HA’a
