Find/Experience Water : Create a Spiritual Practice in 15 Minutes a Day

For many of us in “civilized” places this seems like a silly statement.  After all,  you don’t have to go much further than the nearest sink to “find” water, right?

But this practice is a little more than that — it’s about finding a source of water nearby, whether literally – the little stream down the block, or figuratively – finding the flow and connection in your relationships, work or family.

Water is powerful and submissive.  It has no shape of its own, rather it must take the shape of its container.

Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology states that “the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 liters, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of water in the body, sometimes to as low as 45 percent” (per Wikipedia)

Everywhere I look I read that approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water and in my practice as a palmist I can say that at least 70% of my clients have a preponderance of the water element in their hands (either on fingerprints or their elemental shape).

There’s no end to our fascination with water.  We need it to sustain our bodies, to provide transportation and trade, to cleanse and renew.

So today, take a moment to experience water, whether it’s rain (or snow) on your upturned face, a quiet moment beside a stream, a river, a lake or a dam, or focus on your specific action when you’re filling your glass and your body with water.

Thinking about water, what (if anything) does it mean to you?  Is water a theme worth exploring in your work, your life and your day?
