Water has always been a sanctuary for me. Whenever I am near water, I experience a sense of calm--a feeling of being held and restored.

Water carries immense strength within its fluidity.

In Native American culture, water is a sacred life-sustaining being. The rain signifies renewal, fertility, and change. In Vedic culture water is referred to as Apah, a deity with spiritual cleansing powers. Rain is regarded as a gift from the gods. Rain or Varsha represents life, renewal, and rebirth.

Water is always calling out to the world to be one with its energy.

You feel a strong connection to water because you are primarily made up of water. It is the conductor of your life energy. Spending time with water's living power infuses you with strength and feelings of restoration and renewal.

Try moving through your world as the infinite flow of water, pushing through any blockages to experience an expanded sense of wellbeing, ultimately recognizing that you are part of something greater than yourself.

This week, I want to take the element of water through the 5Rhythms map:

• In flow, honor the river and move with its curves. 
• In staccato, explore rain as it cleanses.
• In chaos, step into a body of water to feel its magnificence.
• In lyrical, move like a babbling brook.
• In stillness, dive into the serenity of still water at dawn.

Spin on the circle of wave upon wave of the sea. ~Pablo Neruda
