Ways to Connect with Water

Water corresponds to emotions so it is really important to choose something that you enjoy.

Swimming  Ë  Take a Bubble Bath  Ë  Play with Water Guns  Ë  Walk the Shoreline  Ë  Wade Through a Creek  Ë  Toast the Full Moon with a glass of Water, then Drink it for Empowerment  Ë  Hug Someone you Love  Ë  Have a Good Long Cry

Magical Exercise

Using visualisation, infuse a bowl of ice water with the same thought from the Air exercise.  Wash your face and hands to absorb the thought.  Do this for 7 to 10 days to strengthen your ability to control and direct the element of Water.

Other

Water has magnetic qualities which we see its pull every day through the current of the river and rides rolling in at Moon rise.  This force is known as Magnetic Fluid and it has a negative charge which links it to the cool, shrinking, contracting aspects of Water.
