\nPulled from many sources but based on the research of Dr. Masaru Emoto before his passing. Water holds a charge, sacred prayer and honoring sent to the water changes it\u2019s molecularprogram for the better. Water is life. Everyday Affirmations for simple things, having a glass of water, washing hands, cooking. It is being mindful of what we have. Water blessing is best near a pond, river, place that is connected to water source. At any time there is a call. Energy is energy

Dr. Emoto\u2019s Blessing and Prayer<\/strong>
\nThe eternal power of the Universe has gathered itself to create the world with true and grand harmony.<\/em>
\nWe pray for healing blessings on the waters<\/em>
\nWe pray for healing blessings on the sea<\/em>
\nWe pray for healing blessings on the rivers<\/em>
\nThat they may shine in crystal purity<\/em><\/p>\n

Ritual<\/strong>
\nIntention; to honor and charge water that is gifted to a larger body of connecting water. Done through song, movement and prayer. Bringing the power of sacred healing wells, collected rain water, with the healing powers of crystals such as Lemuria crystal, rose quartz and aquamarine. Sending prayers of positive affirmation to our blessed waters.
\n( asked to bring if in large circle, collected rain water, water from clear ponds,etc.)
\n\",Altar Setup<\/strong>
\nCotton cloth that is of blue or shade of color, placed on the ground (we are using mother earth power). A clear glass vase in center or ceramic if you choose, no metal please. Placed next to the bowl radiating out from each direction are four clear crystals then four aquamarines (no worry if don\u2019t have), at the cross quarters next to the bowl place four pieces of rose quartz. Fill in with shells, beach stones, river stones all radiating outward. You have made a grid aligned to water. Will look like the sun with rays in all directions.<\/p>\n

At the end of the cardinal directions place a smaller bowl, each to the color of the direction if you choose. ( have water ready to fill). A small pitcher of water for the ancestors. A cymbal or bell, crackle rattle, rain stick, small drum. A bowl of infused water for self blessing- clean water infused with lavender, rosemary and rose petals. Love and water aligned.<\/p>\n

Creating Sacred Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

Herbal blend or land blend burning incense (land is important, ask land spirit). Smudge area as is respectful to all. Pass infused water around for self blessing. Ask everyone to stand taking deep breaths, focusing on our intention of healing. (this ritual can also be done in solitude). Stand with feet apart, palms facing the earth. Visualize with breath the earth light of healing beneath your feet, with breath and your palms pull that energy up as your arms move out and up. Pull that energy into first light center at the root. Let go breath, again with breath pull up earth light to next center, again with breath do so until you raise your hands above your head, last breath, breathe universe energy within, slowly move hands down your center as if praying but don\u2019t touch palm to palm. Move your hands down to heart then out by side. Reach out and hold the hand that is next to you. (if solitaire then just finish the movement down to the ground, you are ready to work, you may want to physically walk the circle).With your left hand send a love squeeze around the circle clockwise till it comes back to you. Circle is now set.
\n\",Ancestor Guidance<\/strong>
\nIt is very important to have guidance and blessings of land and blood ancestors, our work is past, future and present, they are here to guide us. This part is up to how one feels, could be a personal invocation or more general. There may be one within the circle that works with our Blessed Ones.
\nBlessed ones, guide our hearts and hands, please join us as we honor our water.
\n(pour water out of the pitcher, a little bit in each direction as you walk clockwise around circle)<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nStarting in the\u00a0East<\/strong>, we are working with air of water. For group one will call direction. We are calling to waters in the eastern realms, may the power of reason be gifted to the water. Ring the bell or
\ncymbal, fill the small bowl with water that is on the eastern grid.<\/p>\n

South<\/strong>
\nFire of water. For group one will call direction. We are calling to waters in the southern realms,
\nmay the power of compassion and love be gifted to the water;shake the rattle, fill the small bowl with water that is on the southern grid.<\/p>\n

West<\/strong>
\nWater of water. For group one will call direction. We are calling to waters in the western realms,
\nmay the power of hope and change be gifted to the water;use rain stick and fill bowl in the western grid.<\/p>\n

North<\/strong>
\nEarth of water. For group one will call direction. We are calling to waters in the northern realms,
\nmay the power of strength and stability be gifted to the water; sound drum<\/p>\n

Above and Within<\/strong>
\nMay the power of the sun above and earths inner light be combined to nurture and heal our water in all realms
\ntone om, awen,as you feel it to be. 3x
\n\",Working<\/strong>
\nGathering energy thru earth light to charge our center bowl or vase water. Visualize energy of earth light coming up thru your feet as if you are a mighty oak pulling nourishment thru your roots, breathe clean air as your leaves were pulling in air and sun. Gather energy within your center of power, form a ball of healing within your hands. Meld, form it with love, healing, transformation. Visualize, hope, faith, joy and love, see it swirling with beautiful iridescent energy. When you are ready, send this gathered Nwyfre with full love towards the center bowl. Charge the water with intention of healing through love.
\nThis is done with all in the group.
\nWe pray for healing blessings on the waters<\/em>
\nWe pray for healing blessings on the sea<\/em>
\nWe pray for healing blessings on the rivers<\/em>
\nThat they may shine in crystal purity<\/em><\/p>\n

Voice and Sound Vibration<\/strong>
\nIf you have a drum, play heart beat, Tibetan bowl aligned to womb center, flute or recorder; all music is important to this energy.
\nA chant given to water warriors by Deva Premal, specifically for ones fighting for many lost sentient beings;
\nFor our waters, May we sing as we feel, not of the head but of heart. We are calling heart.
\nOm Niyamaya Namaha
\nOcean sound productions youtube
\nChant or sing any you feel is what is needed, this is about a personal way to honor and heal our waters.
\nAs this is being sung by all with drum, instruments of choice, we also call out and send positive affirmations. All this is going into the center container being charged with beauty.
\nThere will be a point when all within circle will feel this is done. A time to process, That point when we hear and feel silence.
\n\",Blending of the Waters<\/strong>
\nNow we empower center with all waters from the cardinal points.
\nWaters swirl and flow to their own nature, flow and ebb of direction blessings merge in center. \u201cMay the waters of all be in harmony\u201d. Pour all directions into center bowl.
\n(persons calling directions will come together as one, pour into center bowl or vase. Allow a moment to blend.<\/p>\n

Song and dance with movement
\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FAGPTnJqRAU<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ocean refuses no river no river<\/em>
\nThe ocean refuses no river no river<\/em>
\nhallelujah, ha le lu x2<\/em>
\n(dance movement can be just as simple as holding hands and walking around the circle. A more orchestrated very beautiful version if you have a group to do. I like the first version for words the dance steps are fairly easy to do, in the second version)<\/em>.
\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TDqEvRcdDcg<\/a>
\n\",Visualize love and healing. As it feels good to do release the charged water into a river, stream or whatever water flowing is close, Remember water holds a charge and will charge what it comes to. At this point it is time to close the ritual, we have brought the directions with us in the water. Very humbly thank the ancestors for guidance, thank directions of waters for lending their gifts. Spend a few minutes in silent meditation. Water is life. A last song before clearing your area<\/p>\n

The River is Flowing<\/strong><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bkuJq6AyzjU<\/a>
\nthe river is flowing, flowing and growing<\/em>
\nthe river is flowing, flowing and growing<\/em>
\nback to the sea<\/em>
\nmother earth carry me, the child I will always be<\/em>
\nmother earth carry me, back to the sea.<\/em>
\nRitual of honoring the waters is done. May we always remember water is life.
