The Story of Bottled Water – just released
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010The Story of Bottled Water – a 7 minute animated film exposing the truth about bottled water has just been released. This short film shows how ‘manufactured demand’ pushes what we don’t need and destroys what we need most. Watch it now – share it with everyone you know.

Water as Consciousness
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010It is fascinating to consider that the reason your brain is 95% water is because water is the ultimate receiver and carrier of information. A single drop of water can store many terabytes* of information. This suggests that the watery content of your brain makes it a far more powerful information processor than any computer. This thought inspires drinking more water!
Water has memory
Even more fascinating are increasing new revelations that water is the medium of consciousness.
Evidence suggests that the malleable structure of water is far more significant than our preoccupation with its chemistry. The geometric clustering of water molecules are altered by the subtlest of influences. Hundreds of thousands of information panels constitute these geometric structures. They register energetic imprints from substances, activities and the frequency of thought to which water has been exposed. This attribute is sometimes referred to as the ‘memory’ of water.
A remarkable film called Water – the Great Mystery interviews world class scientists about these fascinating properties of water, one of whom refers to its impressionable structure as the ‘alphabet’ of water.
Human emotions change water
Evidence shows that any substance that contacts water leaves a trace upon it. However, human emotions are the strongest influence. Water constitutes, migrates and interpenetrates everything. All is connected by water. We can change our world, via water, by the conscious use of thought and feeling.
Our ancient traditions of using ‘holy’ water spring from this knowledge. The frequency of prayer corrects the water already inside the body. Water is the information carrier that changes the blood, tissues and reflects the very character of human consciousness.
The Earth, our planetary body, is a giant container of water. It, too, responds to the quality of our thoughts and feelings. Love increases the frequency that imprints upon water.
Primordial intelligence
Interestingly, it is water we seek to determine the presence of life (consciousness!) on other planets. Water brings a pre-existing impulse to life. It creates the structure of DNA and proteins. Every seed and embryo begins in water, the carrier of the biological intelligence that is the determiner and means of change.
Dr. Emoto’s water crystals
Water’s response to human thought have been popularly demonstrated by Dr. Masaru Emoto’s frozen water crystals. These crystals reveal how water structures itself according to the imprint of human thought and activity. Beautiful symmetry occurs when water is exposed to loving and uplifting influence.
Russian physicist demonstrates the influence of human thought on waterRussian physicist, Konstantin Korotkov, has developed a technique using ‘bioelectography’ that can register light emmissions from living things, including water. His instruments ‘see’ biophotons which indicate the health and vitality of the subject from which they emanate, whether it be a human or a drop of water. Korotkov’s studies also show that subtle changes of intention alter the strength and quality of light emissions from humans and water.
Collective intention experiment for water on March 22
Author, Lynne McTaggart, has organised a group of scientists for The Intention Experiment, a series of experiments demonstrating the transformative power of collective intention.
All three of the above researchers are convening at Lake Biwa in Japan on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) for a Clean Water Experiment.
Our love and gratitude can transform water – our bodies, our minds, our planet.

Water Footprints – Changing the water/energy connection
Monday, March 15th, 2010Conventional technologies use water to create energy and energy to move water.
Hydro-electric power is harnessed in British Columbia by the sheer volume and force of water from our mountainous watersheds. Most of the world, however, is not blessed with our rain forests and snow-packed mountains. They use power plants that boil water – lots of it!! Water is turned to steam, which drives turbines, which run generators, which create electricity.
Oil, coal, nuclear and large solar thermal power plants also require cooling – with water!
Depending on the location, no less than one to eighteen gallons of water are needed to deliver one kilowatt hour of power. That’s enough to run an air conditioner for one hour. Producing the energy required to run a laptop requires, on average, about 200 gallons of water a year.
In California, 49 percent of all water withdrawn in the state is used for energy. In turn, about 20 percent of California’s energy consumption is used to redistribute water. No wonder Schwarzenegger likes coming up here…!
Much of this water is returned to rivers or the ocean but not before killing billions of fish and wildlife every year. A huge amount simply evaporates and is lost from the dwindling fresh water supply when it precipitates into the ocean.
Closer to home, billions of gallons of water are being used to extract oil – an archaic method of fuel – from Alberta’s tar sands resulting in the most devastating ecological disaster on our planet.
Bio-fuels also take a tremendous toll, requiring vast amounts of land, toxic chemicals and water to produce.
As we wake up to the consequences of having depended upon these technologies, it is hardly reasonable to expect large corporations like General Electric, that engage in energy production and the exploitation of water resources, to be the drivers of the new consciousness and restorative mechanisms that will be needed to bail us out of our predicament.
New minds are emerging with new science that is superseding the standard models of physics and replacing old energy technologies.
Non-consuming, non-invasive and inexpensive energy alternatives exist and need our support to be developed and utilized.
Individually and collectively, which water-energy consuming habits are we willing to change? Are we ready to be leaders, caretakers for the well-being of our world?
Clearly it will be each of us re-connecting, re-sensitizing our daily touch upon our world that will shift the collective awareness into the healing mode that our planet and human family so desperately need.

World Water Day 2010 – Clean Water for a Healthy World
Monday, March 8th, 2010World Water Day is an annual global initiative every March 22nd. The UN has chosen Clean Water for a Healthy World as the theme for World Water Day 2010. The overall goal of this year’s campaign is to raise the profile of water quality at the political level so that water quality considerations are made alongside those of water quantity.
Worldwide population and industrial growth are adding new sources of pollution while simultaneously increasing the demand for clean water. Human and environmental health, drinking and agricultural water supplies for the present and future are at stake.
Every year, 1,500 cubic kilometres of wastewater are produced globally. While waste and wastewater can be reused productively for energy and irrigation, most often this is not being practised.
In developing countries 80 percent of all waste is being discharged untreated. Waste migrates to and contaminates potentially clean water sources. Incredibly, even here in British Columbia, municipalities still dump barely treated waste water and even raw sewage directly into the ocean and our rivers.
