What few people in the world know or understand is the qualities of water. Have you ever wondered how the Ganges River can be so polluted--or so it seems and yet the people bath, wash and burn their dead on a barge in the river among other activities. To the Indians, it is a holy river and because it has been blessed, it has become so.

Blessing is an ancient rite and it is not a religious rite although it has been adopted by most religions in one form or another. Actually the act of blessing has a scientific basis because whatever we focus on to bless changes the energy from bad to good. This is the purpose behind blessing our food when we eat. Few people realize the power behind blessing not only our food, but our water and our wine.

The act of blessing needs to be done with sincerity. In the Water documentary, there is a segment about some men who were in a meeting talking about bio-warfare and other similar subjects. The men drank water during their conference and each one later became ill because of their negative talk and thinking had polluted the water. No wonder people are sick by eating and drinking while watching some television programs!

Almost all cultures have a form of blessing and of giving thanks. This act is an ancient one and perhaps it is time to be resurrected. Masaru Emoto is noted for his experiments with water. He has proven that contaminated water can be changed by sending it sincere thoughts of love. His photos of before and after are quite amazing. Everytime we take drink water and any other beverage, perhaps we can silently bless it and know all impurities are removed. By doing this, we empower our own self. Going hand in hand with blessing is forgiveness. Unresolved anger, jealousy and guilt play havoc with the cells of the body. It is something to think about.

Blessings for health, wealth and happiness to each of you.
