SPIRITUAL POWER OF WATER

Water and spirituality seem to go hand in hand. Many religions and spiritual practices include the use of water. Even being near a river, lake or ocean seems to invoke a spiritual experience, soothing the body, mind and soul.

Water is an extremely powerful element that has the potential to heal on many levels, particularly spiritual and emotional. What’s so special about water and its role in transformation?

WATER AND SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

Since ancient times water has represented many spiritual ideas. The biblical story of Noah and the great flood shows water as a powerful destroyer, cleansing the Earth of the evil and disobedient. Water is also portrayed as a great giver of life in many beliefs and is considered sacred.

The Ganges River in India for example is deemed sacred to Hindus. Many Hindu pilgrims bathe in the river to wash away sins and the faithful often spread ashes of the departed into the river, helping them reach nirvana. Christians rely on the spiritually healing waters of baptism for redemption, cleansing, renewal and rebirth of the soul. Catholics employ the use of holy water for blessing themselves and their homes.

WATER AND EMOTIONS

Water and emotions also have a unique and interesting relationship. Many people enjoy spending time either near or on the water. It can be relaxing, invigorating and soothing all at the same time. Have you ever noticed how spending time in a pool or even a nice bath can change your attitude? Even a morning shower can wake you up help you feel alert. Water can also relieve stressful emotions. Consider how a fountain can impart feelings of tranquility in a room.

Not only does water influence our emotions, our emotions also have an effect on water. According to studies conducted by Dr. Masaru Emoto a Japanese scientist, our thoughts and emotions can influence water’s molecular structure.

He analyzed water crystals exposed to thoughts and feelings of love and positive emotions and found them to have beautiful snowflake like structures. In contrast, water crystals influenced by negative thoughts and emotions appeared to have jagged, misshapen and ugly looking shapes.

USING WATER FOR SPIRITUALITY AND HEALING

Now that we understand some of the spiritual aspects of water, how can we use it to help us? Water can be used in a spiritually healing way for body, mind and soul. Here are some ideas to consider in bringing the spiritual power of water into your life.
Use water to help cleanse your aura. When showering or bathing, consciously think about cleansing your aura as you cleanse your body. As you feel the water on your skin, visualize the water vapor moving through the layers of your aura removing any debris or negative energy.

Feel your body an aura’s energy become cleaner, clearer and brighter as the water moves over you. Finally, as the water drains down the tub, give thanks for the cleansing and let the physical and psychic dirt be recycled by Mother Earth. This is a different way of experiencing “cleanliness is next to godliness.”

Use water to lift your spirits. Go out and play in the water in a way that has meaning for you. Whether you go swimming, do water sports, or sit on the beach enjoy the gift of water and be grateful for the pleasure it provides. The same holds true for placing a table top fountain in your home. Even a simple jar of soap and water bubbles can bring feelings of joy.

Use water consciously when drinking it. In conjunction with Dr. Emoto’s discoveries, try infusing your drinking water with love and positive emotions. You can hold your hands around or over a glass of water and think thoughts of gratitude, joy, love and happiness before consuming. Some metaphysical experts also recommend writing these words on your water bottle to infuse it with those vibrations. Experiment and see what works for you.

Water has some powerful properties that go beyond the physical. It really is a sacred gift that we can use in many ways. Hopefully this has inspired you to think about water in a whole new way!

Stimulating Pleasure

By what mysterious processes does physical exercise have such an impact on the emotional brain ? This is a billion dollar question.

Naturally, there is, first of all, its effect on endorphins. These tiny molecules secreted by the brain resemble opium and its derivatives, such as morphine and heroin. 

The emotional brain contains many receptors for endorphins, and that's why it is so sensitive to opium -- it immediately radiates a sensation of well-being and satisfaction by hijacking one of the emotional brain's own intrinsic mechanisms. Opium has a powerful effect on emotions -- in fact, it's the strongest known antidote to the pangs of separation and mourning.

However, when derivatives of opium are used too often, they can become habit forming. Brain receptors become inured to them, so the dose must be systematically increased in order to produce the same effect. Moreover, because the receptors become less and less sensitive, regular pleasures lose all their power and potency -- including sex, the pleasures of which is often reduced to nothing in drug addicts. Even affected those patients who were on doctors prescribed drugs.  

The secretion of endorphins brought on by physical exercise does exactly the opposite. The more the natural mechanism of pleasure is gently stimulated by exercise, the more sensitive the mechanism itself becomes. In addition to relishing sex and life's other big pleasures, people who engage physical exercise regularly actually get more pleasure out of the little things in life : their friendships, their cats, their meals, their hobbies, or even the smiles of passerby in the street. Essentially, it becomes easier for them to be satisfied. And in fact, the experience of pleasure is just the opposite of depression.

Depression is defined, above all, by the absence of pleasure ,more so than by sadness, which is probably the reason why the release of endorphins has such a potent antidepressant and anxiolytic effect.

Stimulating the emotional brain by these natural processes also kindles the  immune system. It promotes the proliferation of those so-called "natural killer" cells, making them more aggressive against infections and cancer cells. [ " EMOTIONS PROFOUND INFLUENCE BODY FUNCTIONS . "NATURAL KILLER" CELLS OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE of the body. Like many other physiological functions, they are under the control of the emotional brain. Positive emotions such as peacefulness and well-being stimulate these cells. Stress, anxiety, and depression interfere with their function. Natural smaller killer cells converge are attacking a larger cancer cell. ]
The opposite effect occurs with heroin addicts, whose immune defenses collapse, often causing them to become gravely ill. 

Exercise may also strengthen another physiological mechanism related to emotional health. This mechanism involves what we have already learned about heart rate variability. People who exercise regularly show a greater variability in heart rate and more coherence than people who do not. This means that their parasympathetic system , the physiological "brake" that brings on  periods of  calm , is healthier and stronger , A good balance between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system is one of the best potential antidotes to anxiety and panic attacks. All the symptoms of of anxiety start with an overactive sympathetic system -- a dry mouth ( cellular dehydration ongoing ), accelerated heartbeat, sweating, trembling, a rise in blood pressure (also another cellular dehydration ongoing). The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are always in opposition. Thus, the more stimulation the parasympathetic branch receives, the stronger it becomes -- like a developing muscle. When it is strong enough, it simply blocks the symptoms of anxiety. 

A new treatment for depression is under experimentation in major centers for biological psychiatry around the world. A device implanted under the skin stimulates the parasympathetic system.This treatment of the future requires no effort from the patient. It is able to bring on the benefits effects of the parasympathetic system.  Very promising. I personally think that physical exercise and the practice of  cardiac coherence may produce exactly the same outcome, provided that patients are still motivated enough to undertake the exercises and drink enough water daily with sea salt.
