'Water consciousness for personal and planetary wellbeing' is the tagline for my weblog on spa culture - Vision Spa Retreat: Reflections on Spa, Soul, and the Role of Water. In all my writings there, water plays a central role. Here is a quote from the opening page:
Water as an indicator of health and also a tool for health, is central to the spa-retreat offering. Water, as a metaphor, provides many insights into human behavior and human potential, as the Taoists knew well. Water and humans need to be free and to have depth and clarity to thrive. SF. A new vision
And this:
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. SF. A message about water
'Water connects us with the world around us and with our aquatic origins.' This insight is one of many that informs my writing on another weblog devoted to Aquapoetics: Creative Aquatic Bodywork describing the practice that transformed my perception and appreciation of water:
Water is also associated with the creative unconscious, the depths of human psyche, in many mythologies.... Together we float beyond conscious everyday reality and back again: between these two places is the spirit pool, a portal to dreamtime. SF. Water blessing
And this:
My practice focuses on guiding the body into a state of resonance with the surrounding water which in turn seems to harmonize the internal fluid system. In this state, there is a sense of recognition and reconnection that indicates to me just how important and how little understood is our relationship with water. SF. Liquid in motion
I invite you to explore both the above websites. Meanwhile, on this third site, I dive deeper into my personal stories around water and life. I've collected here some of the posts to date that related specifically to water - both poetry and other writings. Short extracts are provided; click on the links for more.
Let me know your response or share your own thoughts on water.
