Water coaching part 2 (By Hillarie)
We have been focused on the physical part of water so far this week but it is SO much more.
“Total Wellness is defined as physical, mental and social well- being”.
Water is magic. It nourishes everything in us and around us. Turn on the faucet- listen- see the flow, the droplets- it cleanses. Step out your door and look - plants trees clouds - it is everywhere. When it rains you can smell it coming! When you take a sip of water feel your body welcome it- can you taste it? Touch an ice cube, touch the surface of water- what happens?
Water has been a part of this challenge already! Photos of trees. Songs of water. Foods of nature. It is so essential we often overlook its presence so TODAY have an active awareness of how influential it is in your world.
Here is how it has influenced me-
My Mom is visiting for Thanksgiving and she told a story last night of when I was little- she said I just went in the water wherever it was- often terrifying her -when I was 4 we were at Lava Hot Springs ID (if you ever get a chance to visit it is well worth the trip) and before they realized it I was on the highest platform and then I jumped. I spent summers at camp on the lake. In my own recent history I have rediscovered the water through kayaking and paddle boarding. I share my journey with you because I am realizing how powerful water is in a positive way- a mental and spiritual positive. Water is social. I hear laughter and sharing while paddling. I hear life. I see eons of time and seconds simultaneously. I feel oneness and connected when paddling. Water is the conduit, the connecting essence, the spiritual bond, the essential element. Celebrate you.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful for each of you and for this challenge. I am so thankful for water. It is a gift.
