How To Tap Into The Healing Power Of Water

It's time to prep for Summer and start planning as many outdoor water activities as you can.

It's a necessity if you're going to be in the 100+ degree Texas heat but also to take advantage of the power of water to heal, calm and refresh us.

​If you can't get near a body of water, here are 3 exercises to help you experience the power of water no matter where you are.

They'll help release toxins, recharge your energy, and even get your creativity flowing.

1. Water Meditation: lie down in a comfortable position and visualize a waterfall pouring over you. Inhale In the good healing powers of the water.  Imagine absorbing all the “energy” or “power” of the waterfall. 

Exhale and release anything you want to let go of (i.e. toxic thoughts, pain, etc). Continue for 3 minutes or longer if it feels good to you. You’re letting the water refresh you and wash away anything you no longer need deep into the ground below you.

Pro Tip: if you have a hard time visualizing, try this version in the shower. Close your eyes, get present with a few deep breath and feel the water as it flows over you from head to toe. Imagine all the toxins, negative feelings, or events from your day washing down the drain.  

2. Soak in the Tub: take an Epsom salt bath with lavender to release toxins and relax your body and mind.

3. The Fountain: this is a great Qi Gong moving meditation to help you get in the flow and “just be water.” It can be done in sitting or standing. Kids love it. It’s a fun one to do when you need a quick break to clear your mind, calm your body, or recharge. Just 7 reps can make a difference and help you find your flow.  Watch this short video below to learn how simple it is to do.

Find time to get outside & refresh near water as much as possible this summer. Use these exercises to fill in the gaps when you can't get outside.

​Which one feels best in your body? Make sure to schedule regular "water" breaks into your day.
