Let's Put the Water Back Into Spa.
And rediscover our reverence for this essential element.
When I first read the phrase 'water is nature's sense organ', I knew exactly what that meant. Almost everyone responds positively to the soothing effects of water in the environment, from the sound of gentle rain falling, to the delicious sensation of slipping into a mountain hot spring.
But, as with so many things, when we try to recreate this natural experience artificially it doesn't seem to work quite as well. Perhaps this is because we've neglected to see water as a living thing, as a part of us.
Let's extend our perception of water as a utility for drinking and washing to water as a vital medium for life, transformation, creativity, and healing. Not only can it enhance our sense of wellbeing, it can also expand our inner and outer awareness, and inspire life-affirming action.
If you are an artist or a scientist, a writer or a reader, you may rediscover here the creative mystery that is water. If you are a spa professional or spa goer, a water therapist or a swimmer, you may find much to inspire your work and your interests. Whoever you are, please feel welcome to ... dive in and share your experiences.
Water consciousness for personal and planetary wellbeing.
