How It Started
Two events caused me to begin thinking about this Heal The Waters Ceremony:
First, I was struck by some amazing research being conducted by Dr. Masaru Emoto. He began photographing the molecular structure of water in its frozen state. After photographing the molecular structure of water when it was exposed to different types of music and seeing the difference in the structure of polluted water vs. other types of water, he wanted to take his research further. He believed that words and intentions could affect the molecular structure of water. His photos are amazing! Be sure to check his work out on the web (Dr. Emoto's work) , or better yet—pick up a copy of his book, “The Hidden Messages in Water”. He has other books now, too—including, “True Power of Water” and “The Shape of Love”.
The second event came when I wanted to take my dog for a swim and was not able to find a body of water in the local area that seemed clean enough to allow her to safely swim in the water.
These two ideas came together causing me to want to develop some type of ceremony to “heal” our waters—cleanse them—and then to create a global awareness around the health of our bodies of water.
However, it wasn't until the third piece of the puzzle came into play that I finally decided it was time to take action. It happened at a Gathering of Women at "Wild Grace" when my friend, Anne, expressed her sadness regarding Lake Erie. Each woman in our group began to express her concern over various bodies of water throughout the places where she resides. In talking about this concern with them, I also discovered that some of the women in our group have already made efforts to improve the waters in their various regions. This time we want to take our idea to the world and help the Earth and its waters.
And, so it is that we have begun the process of getting the word out about the Heal the Waters Ceremony. We encourage you to participate in your local area (or in any area of the world) you feel drawn to.
Knowing that water is what keeps everyone and, in effect, everything alive, it behooves us to care for it, nurture it, respect it, and honor it. Our first step in this process it to heal it. And this is the reason for this ceremony.
