Dynamics of Water

When humans look for life on other planets, they first seek evidence of water. "When we find water here on Earth, we've found microbes that have found a way to make a living there," says Brian Glazer, University of Hawaii. It is safe to say that water is crucial to sustaining life.

When the Dakota Access Pipeline threatened native Lakota people’s access to clean water, masses gathered at Standing Rock proclaiming, “Water is Life,” Mní Wičóni. Farther to the east, Flint, Michigan, has been without clean water for much of the past decade, making life terrible for residents. Many of them suffer from polluted water-related health issues.

In Ayurveda, India's ancient, traditional health system, the five Great Elements (Pancha Mahabhutas) include Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Everything in our galaxy, including us, comprises these five elements. In the physical body, water protects and nourishes the body, manifesting as plasma, lymph, and mucus.

According to the Medical Medium, most people today are chronically dehydrated. If you reach a certain level of dehydration, your blood can thicken. Once you develop thick blood, it becomes much more challenging for your heart to draw fresh, clean blood from the liver. The heart may also have more difficulty providing the brain and other organs with adequate blood and oxygen. Over time, this continuous exertion can prematurely wear out the heart.

Fortunately, there are many ways to rehydrate. In addition to high-quality water, you can drink cucumber juice, lemon water, and coconut water and consume fresh, raw vegetables and fruits.

No matter how you look at it, water has been and will always be a vital essence of life. As humanity evolves, we reconnect with the ways of the indigenous and ancient ones, who understand there is no separation between us and the natural world. We cannot separate from what we indeed are.
