How to Regain Your Natural Flow
There are many things that we can do to restore and strengthen our connection to water. Much like grounding and other methods of reconnecting with nature, what works for one may not work for others and how much exposure each person needs can vary greatly. One cause for this variation is the quality of our connection, if you expose yourself to water by running through the rain in a panic you will not get the same benefit as a relaxed walk in the rain when you purposefully take in the connection to nature and the sensation of the raindrops hitting your skin like a thousand tiny fingers massaging your scalp.
Hydration
The first and most obvious thing you can do to reconnect with water is to make sure that you are properly hydrated. Drinking enough water is crucial to the healthy operation of your cells. At the simplest level, this can be a glass of water when you wake up and then 3 other times throughout the day as a minimum amount of water to consume. The quality of the water taken in can be a big factor too, explore the vast world of filtered, ionized and mineralized water and find which one you connect with and which energizes you the most.
Deliberate Exposure
The next simple thing you can do to experience the life-altering value of water is to deliberately expose yourself to it more often. What does this look like? Well, it depends on the person and how you relate to water yourself. This can be walking in the rain from time to time, sitting on your porch with your feet in a puddle, enjoying the bliss of a footbath at a day spa or with a foot spa in your own home or going all out and enjoying a relaxing dip in a spa pool or swim spa.
Music
Because of what we now know about how water responds to frequencies and waves, we should be mindful of the music that we listen to. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t sometimes listen to rock, rap metal or whatever other upbeat or more aggressive music you love, many of the world’s most amazing natural wonders are achieved by storms and rapids and there are times for it. Likewise, there are times for gentle tranquillity and relaxation, the grand canyon was carved not by a raging torrent but by millennia of gently flowing streams.
A great way to put this into practice is to set aside a few minutes each week to take a dip in your spa and listen to your choice of calm, soothing music. If you don’t normally listen to calm music there are many great playlists available on services like Spotify with playlists for relaxation, meditation and de-stressing. Take the time and experiment to find a playlist that you can enjoy, it’s not always about listening to the music either, it’s about the natural energy of the music and what it does to the water you are in, as well as the water that is in your cells. Drowning out the stress and noise of the world with calm music is a great way to find your balance and natural equilibrium and remain centred and energised.
You can use a home media system or a portable blue tooth speaker for your music. The quality of the system is important, it doesn’t need to be top-shelf, but low-quality audio can affect the quality of the waves and frequencies which will affect the quality of your relaxation. For the ultimate experience, a spa with mySpaHiFi provides a full immersion hydro-frequency experience. The mySpaHiFi system has a HiFi system built into the spa with speakers mounted against the shell of the spa, this allows the music to flow directly into the water and users can literally feel the music in their bodies. But whatever you choose, a combination of music and hydrotherapy is one of the ultimate ways to re-energise and reconnect with water.
Tranquillity and Relaxation
The final way to reconnect with water is to make sure you have a tranquil and relaxing environment where you can experience it. This means a quiet area that can be made free of external stimuli when you want space, somewhere that you can leave your phone out of reach, on silent, unable to be disturbed. A zen garden or landscape-designed garden hideaway is a common way to achieve this, but it can also be a retreat in a private lounge, courtyard or ensuite away from business, assistants or other distractions like noisy family members.
If you have a private getaway already and want to add a water source, a great way to increase your options with water is to install a spa pool. A spa pool provides multiple options that go beyond mere exposure to water. A spa from Sapphire Spas is designed to facilitate complete personal luxury and tranquillity. With head-to-toe massage jets you can enjoy a complete full-body massage, caressing your muscles and lifting the tension and stress away from you. The gentle bubbling of the spa water will drown out the noise of your environment like your own nature-driven white noise generator. A spa is a perfect place to practice mindfulness and meditation too, so you can get the benefits of a massage, water exposure, harmonious frequencies and meditation all in one experience. It’s a simple way to maximise your natural connections in a way that still fits into a busy lifestyle and will allow you to make the most of a modern life in connection with the natural world.
