Bless the Water

 

Another fantastical yet scientific bit of knowledge that I come across is that water has intelligence, it has memory.

Japanese scientist Dr Masaru Emoto brought to light the tendency of water to hold feelings, words and thoughts in his book, The Hidden Messages in Water. He further stated that since human bodies and the planet earth are composed of water to the tune of 70 to 80 %, thus, a lot can be changed and accomplished by blessing water that we drink with positive thoughts and feelings.

So, I have begun using this knowledge to start my day with a draught of positivity, literally, everyday. I always commence my day by drinking two glasses of warm water. Since, the time I have come to know of this phenomenon, I have consciously used it to bless the water that I am about to drink with the goals or targets that I have planned for myself for the day.

I wake up very early, and I am the only one in the kitchen at that hour. So, in the solitude of the setting, I look with intention and love at the water boiling in the kettle and say out aloud, or sometimes, repeat in my heart words such as, harmony, success, good health, abundance, happiness, companionship and so on. As I pour the water into a glass, I continue to hold strong this intention and repeat the words to the water. I also sit on a stool in the kitchen itself, holding the glass of lukewarm water in my hands, repeating the words to the water, before finally drinking it. I like to believe that the water blessed with these attributes will spread these sentiments through every cell of my body. This morning ritual fills me up with confidence at the beginning of each day.

I also use this ritual to reinforce these feelings, sense of accomplishment of these gals during the day, especially when I am feeling dejected or out of sync with my inner being.

I have found offering a glass of water that is blessed with feelings of joy, peace, love, and other positive emotions, to anyone who is not feeling good, helps to uplift them.

I have advised many of my acquaintances and clients to employ this technique when they are about to enter an important meeting, call, interview, and even when they are in midst of a difficult discussion with a spouse or an argument with their teenage child. It has always helped.

Thus, being mindful of the water that I drink has helped me to accomplish many dreams. Let me know how your experience was with this ritual.

Daily Dose of Wellness Chemicals

 

 

I came across this image that is shared above this blog-post, a few years back on a social media platform, and it made me realise that there is so much that I can do to keep myself feeling inspired and uplifted throughout the day.

There are four different types of chemicals that boost the ‘wellness quotient’ within us. We simply have to choose one activity from each of the boxes above and make it a part of our daily routine.

I like to club my energy levels and the course of my day, while scheduling these activities for myself.

Therefore, I always begin my day with meditation. The serotonin, a mood stabaliser grounds me for the day. I am more aware and connected with my physical, emotional, mental and etheric body, as I gradually ease into a new day. I am not such a fan of diving right into a day. I like to first know the emotion that is pervading my senses, manage it, become aware as to how I am planning to employ it and thus, carpe diem.

After the passage of a few hours, in order to have a gush of endorphins in my veins, I begin my exercise regimen. I practice it four to five times in a week. This helps me to get over minor physical inconveniences of daily life. A stressed neck from the previous day’s numerous online meetings and sessions, is quickly taken care of in the gym. I am renewed as I launch myself into the remaining day which comprises mostly work.

Love is a drug that I cannot get enough of! I uninhibitedly express love, and primarily compassion more than love, towards all I meet. My work requires me to be alone at most times, so to experience the benefits of Oxytocin, I have incorporated two activities in my daily schedule. First, I make a video call to my children every day from work around lunch time. Seeing them, blowing them kisses and also cuddling them virtually, immediately fills me up with joy. Second, I have kept two bird feeders on the ledge of my office window. I have a routine to fill them up with food and water two times during the day. I have birds from the neighbourhood visiting me, singing their melodious bird songs to me throughout the day, throughout the year. It is as easy as that.

Finally, I work towards rewarding myself regularly to have a shot of Dopamine in my system. I take out time to celebrate my small wins which can include five days of workout in a week, practicing my sitar, eating a clean diet, and many more. I have developed a routine for myself and follow it with as much precision and discipline, as possible for me.

There are many other activities, such as connecting to my breath, making a gratitude list, and so on that help me feel energised and well through a day.

In a nutshell, one does not really need to perform complex exercises to get a daily dose of these extremely vital wellness hormones. With a bit of planning and preparation, we can work towards getting a systematic infusion of these in our day and our life and be happy and healthy.

Let me know, what all you tried and how it has benefitted you.
