BRING FOUR THINGS
  • container of pure water
  • prayer, song or blessing for water
  • positive intention to cleanse water
  • family, lover, friends
    • If you can't be at Onondaga Lake,
    gather at a sacred space
    in the watershed near your home.

    A Water Blessing Ceremony
    is very simple:
    hold your water in your hands

  • focus your love on the water
  • say thanks for the gifts of water
  • make a blessing to the water
    pour your blest water into the water body
    • Water is the Earth's most unique feature;
    no other planet has so much water.

    Water makes life possible.
    Three-quarters of Earth is covered by water.
    Three-quarters of your body is water.
    Every living cell is a tiny bubble
    of liquid crystal water.
    Every body is a water body.

    Water is life.
    Life was born in Earth's ancient ocean.
    We are born from a bag of water
    in our mother's uterus.
    Water is the Gift of the Mother:
    it springs from the Earth.

    Water is the solution of life.
    Water is very sensitive to energy.
    Water is fluid;
    its molecules are in constant motion.

    Wind whips water into waves.
    With salt, water is an electrolyte
    able to conduct electric current.
    With metal and acid, water is a battery
    able to store electric charge.

    Today, water is damaged, endangered and polluted.
    Pure, unpolluted fresh water is more and more scarce.
    Despite laws and legislation, we drink costly bottled water.
    And the life is going out of the waters.

    Dr. Masaru Emoto has shown that water has memory, and that it responds to human intention by building internal structures. Dr. Emoto was able to reveal this positive structure in water by studying crystals formed when water freezes under controlled conditions. Healthy, living water creates beautiful, complex crystals; polluted, injured, unhealthy water has less, even little, crystalline order or geometric elegance.

    By focusing into water our most positive intentions of love, respect, gratitude, and blessing, we can begin to heal the waters and restore the subtles structures required by living organisms to flourish in healthy balance again. Becaus every creature needs water, and is made of water, our love imparted to the water will be shared by all other living creatures.
