It is an energetic channel--a network within our body- a system that reverberates in all our bodies.

Recently I went to India and was so amazed and bowled over by the lovely people, amazing food, amazing customer service, and how much better everything was. I had the best time. However, I did notice that some people-especially younger people there are so Westernized, and pursuing "things". Better phone, great house, lovely car--that seems to be the mantra.

Water is a conduit. It can be empowered the power of air, water, fire, mantra- intention. We can leave a covered glass jar of water in and it becomes agneya--filled with heat of water and will be good to warm us and for digestion. Water can be left out in a covered glass jar in the moonlight-and it will become cooling for the body and will calm the mind. In fact, this is how we make Sun Tea or moon tea. Physically water not only nourishes us but cleanses us -good hygiene but also energertically. Urine, sweat and lymphatic fluid--are a cleansing action of water. In women, the menstrual blood is cleansing not just the unfertilized cell, and lining but all the stress we have accumulated over the month--that is sticking to our body and tissues--it is all being let out--by blood-which is a manifestation of water and fire.
