Living Water

Living Water

Take yourself down to a river...

A mikveh is a bath used for the purposes of ritual immersion in Judaism, to wash away impurities. Bathing in living water is a practice as old as humanity: for as long as we’ve been here, we’ve immersed ourselves in water to cleanse, to purify. Our bodies are seventy percent water, and we are buoyant in it. Water is life itself. Yet most of us don't drink enough. Most of us don't spend enough time in water. And most of us don't deeply ponder what it is...

Water has memory. Water is affected by speech, thought, intention. Water can exist in three states. Many of our friends who are body workers, after completing a session, ritually wash their hands and arms in water to help clear the energy. So go ahead, get your hands in water. Living water.

The video above, filmed while Gabriel was standing almost waist-deep in the Mokelumne River in Calaveras County, California (about ten feet upstream from the rocks shown in the image at left), explores some of the mysteries of living water.

Relationship between body weight, size, and water requirements:
Please note that this also is connected to elevation and air temperature and activity levels. For women who are pregnant or nursing, water requirements are also higher. When it is hot, and we are sweating a lot, we need more water. When we are exercising alot, we need more water. The generic recommendation is to drink 8 glasses of 8 oz per day (64 oz, which is a half gallon, or 1.9 Liters). The Mayo clinic says that on average, men should drink 15.5 cups of liquid per day (3.7 Liters), women should drink 11.5 cups per day (2.7 Liters). Since about 20% of this comes from liquid in our food, and this includes all beverages, not just water, the recommendation to drink 8 cups (1.9 Liters) is generally pretty good. The real point here is that most of us are not drinking that, and that most of us are chronically dehyrated and unaware of it. Creating a routine where you drink more water on purpose is generally useful.

Who taught us this?

Like most elemental practices, the human body seems to know something of water when it arrives.
