Sacred Waters ....From the Source to the Sea

by Ilyhana Kate Kennedy © 2002

“Sacred Waters...From the Source to the Sea” is a web page devoted to understandings gleaned from listening deeply to the Earth. The science behind many of these concepts will be found in the website links to the page “Water is Your Life”. For some of the concepts, the science is yet to be sourced or the research has not yet been undertaken. In placing this page on the Internet, it is my hope that the following inspirational work will further encourage a science that has compassion for the natural world that it studies.

 

Water is yin, the birthing medium of all life. Life begins in water.

Water at the source of a stream is living water, Source of life.

 

Our rivers and streams are sacred.

Streams are sourced in sacred places that are the conception and birthing places of the waters of the Earth. Streams make links between places of archetypal energies, carrying information in frequency form within the memory of the water.

 

The Cycle of Water.

 

Everything on our Earth has a vibrational frequency. Water that bubbles or seeps from springs at the mountain source, is imprinted with the frequencies of the plants, rocks, soil, trees and creatures of that place. The water carries the essence of the place, recorded in its various frequencies in the memory of the water.

Every place has its own archetypal frequency of energy that determines what soil exists there, what trees and plants grow there, and what creatures live there. There will always be at that site, a tree peculiar to that place which carries the essence frequency of that place. Without that tree, a whole cycle of relationships that sustain and regenerate peak health in that place is broken down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cycle of relationships is all about water.  

   

It begins with insects, particularly the bees. The bees drink from the local stream source and are carrying the energetic frequency of the water within their cells, whilst they perform the conceptual rites for the trees.

The trees interact with the soil, maintaining the frequency of the soil through the root system’s interaction with the Earth via water in the fluid exchange processes. The tree and the soil are washed by the rain and dew and this flows into the stream, imprinting the stream with the tree’s frequency. The water from the stream supports the creatures that drink from it and so the cycle goes round.

At every stage of the cycle, light enters into the interactions.

Just as there is an essence tree in any particular place, there is also an essence creature, one that holds the archetypal energy of that place.

Bird calls at daylight and dusk open and close the stomata of plants. Sound frequencies of the birds and creatures of that place are imprinted into the water.

Everything is connected through the water.

 

When you kneel down to drink at a mountain stream, you are drinking the flower essences from the dew drops that have found their way into the stream. You are drinking the essence of the place imprinted from the trees and the soil. And you are literally drinking birdsong!

The cool mountain water has peak memory retention.

The particular frequencies imprinted in the water affect the emotional and physical bodies of our being, according to the archetypal energy of the place.

The sacred geometry of the water is intact in pristine natural environments. The molecules of water are clustered together in precise geometric arrangements according to their archetypal origin.

When we drink water from a pristine place, this geometric information is translated to the blood cells and to every part of our body that contains water, and we know that human beings are mostly water! That particular geometry affects our consciousness, imprinting archetypal information.

Living water is medicine for the emotional and physical bodies!

 

Sacred Birthing Places

 

High in the upper reaches of a stream, there are sacred conception and birthing places. The conception place is usually a still stretch of water that will be broken by rocks or some natural obstacle that creates a strong division and re-union in the flow of the water, with twin vortex flows wrapping together in a coherent state of implosion after the obstacle. Below this, there will be a long and deeper passage with at least one prominent bank, a birthing canal.

Beyond the conception site, somewhere in the birthing passage, you will see water braiding over rocky areas in the stream, the pulsing action of alternating implosion and explosion in the braiding causing a significant lift in the energetic frequency of the water.

  The pulse in the water is the same pulsing energetic pattern that exists throughout the universe, based on the meeting of like and unlike forces.

  There is a meeting of like forces in the braid, both outward moving, forced together by the impact of restricted space.

  There is also a meeting of opposite swirling vortices wrapping together by mutual attraction.

  In terms of energy, science has yet to fully appreciate what goes on here.

 

The stream will then open out into a wider birthing pool, often with a sandy beach at the edge. In some streams, the delivery site looks startlingly like the human female form, with water trickling down through a hole in the rocks that is sited between large rock or Earth forms that have the appearance of thighs. Below this is the birthing pool.

 

These places belong to the Earth Mother. We may visit them for healing, for birthing, for re-birthing, for fertility, or for rites of passage.

For that which the Mother has given us with her Blessing, we are bound by the very covenant of being on Earth in a body, to return.

The streams and the rivers are dying.

The Mother is crying!

The spirits of the streams lay languid and sighing!

For who comes to sing at the water’s edge, the sounds that imprint the waters with joy?

And where is the birdsong that would lift the flowers to the sun?

The Mother lies neglected, unsung, yearning for the laughter and songs of the women and children.

 

 

Healing the Waters

 

The healing of the conception and birthing places is women’s work. Our streams need mothering, nurturing, visiting with joy and respect, a pilgrimage to the Mother.

Indigenous peoples used to sing to the sacred sites. The land cries out for our loving communion. Sing to the water! Have picnics at the birthing places when you find them!

            And there is something special that women can do to lift the consciousness of the people. Take sterilised clean bottles to the stream source in your locality. Ask the Mother Earth to give a little of the source water and take just a few bottles. Keep some for yourself using it to pour a small quantity at a time into your bottled water that you drink each day. Now use the rest to homeopathically treat the water in the stream further downstream from the source. Always work with the same stream in the same catchment areas, remembering the differing archetypal qualities of water from different areas.

If you are really devoted to this work, you’ll find yourself visiting stream sources at as many points in the catchment area as possible. Empty a little of the water at a time in places downstream. If you have access to the local water supply, pour some in there as well. Always pour some in the stream above and below a dam.

Just as there is always yang within yin, there is also an appropriate role for men in the healing of the birth places and the waters. Always in the birth places, there is a significant tree or rock or Earth formation overlooking the site, that has the appearance of a sentinel, or protector, one who holds and anchors the energy of the place, one who sustains. Our streams need defending, protecting.

Replanting the riparian zones with the essence trees is the work to be done by men and women, and children too. We owe the Earth for what we’ve taken. In the action of disturbing the natural balance, our health is the price we are paying. When something is taken, something somewhere has to give. There’s no cribbing the natural laws.

 

 

 

 

We have a sacred covenant with the Earth, to do no harm, to walk and live gently upon the Earth. Defending the streams against pollution by herbicides, pesticides, fertilisers and industrial and domestic waste is a true warrior path.

 

There is something else that we can do to heal the waters. Dr Masaru Emoto has done some brilliant work photographing the influence of thoughtforms, music and the spoken word on water crystallisation. Loving positive influences allow the sacred geometry of water to be complete in its integrity, to form balanced hexagonal configurations of great beauty.

You’ll find Dr Emoto’s work on www.hado.net

 

 

                 

 

 

These photos of the crystallisation of water from Lake Fujiwara from Dr Masaru Emoto’s work were taken before and after an hour of prayer for the waters.

 

So we may pray for the waters, we may meditate for the waters, we may send loving thoughts to the waters, we may sing or play beautiful harmonious music by the waters….and watch the pollution dissipate. It may be that easy!

Maintaining the health of our sacred waters might mean sending loving thoughts and positive visualisations of what we DO want for our streams to those who need to take appropriate action, rather than holding visions of what is currently happening and reinforcing the negative thoughtform.

Restoring the ritual of baptism as a spiritual cleansing in places where the water is alive will not only help to heal the human psyche, but may send messages of cleansing downstream in the water memory as well.

 

Downstream from the source,

water flows, connects, conducts, carries, sustains and revitalises.

   

 

 

 

 

Water loves to be round. Dewdrops are spherical. Why? Does nature have a self-organising packing efficiency for molecules of water? Yes! Believe it or not, the same thing possibly happens in sand. The grains of sand appear to pack down in the beach in spherical self-organisation within the beach. (Check out New Scientist Magazine No 2283, p14 for the article “Sand shapes up” for a fascinating insight into how Nature organises herself!)

 

  Water loves to flow in circling spirals. Where the land has little fall, you will see a river loop completely close upon itself. The terrain that the river flows through offers resistance to the waterflow’s circling nature, distorting the curves. Meanders of a stream are formed by the water’s circling nature, combined with the fall of the land

To study river formation and water flowforms further, read the works of Theodor Schwenk and Victor Schauberger (references at the end of this web page).

The outward motion of waterflow creates a spiralling motion that assumes a form remarkably similar to the human male penis, and the inward motion of water a vortex form with similarity to the human female vaginal passage. Since water is the source of life and forms itself around the energetic flow forces within it, we might well guess that the human genitalia are designed after these flow forces, since the flow of fluid is the prime physical function of the genitals.

The genitals then are designed to direct fluid in optimum flow conditions for the maintenance of energetic quotient. You will see the beautiful flowforms in Theodor Schwenk’s work. Schwenk realised that the lifeforms existing in water such as seashells, assumed the shapes of the flowforms of water for optimum ease in movement in water. Possibly, this naturally occurs also as a means of optimising the energetic flow within the form itself.

Water flows both on the surface of the land and also underneath the land in underground streams. The imprint of archetypal energy from a source site is carried downstream to meet in stream junctions with imprints from other sites. The water carries information of combined yang and yin imprints within an overall “charge”. Water is not simply yin. There is always yang within yin.

The aboveground and belowground river systems form a network of conductors of energy, linking together the energetic flows between archetypal energy sites in the land. Yang is linked to yin to yang to yin throughout the land. There are differing archetypal patterns of yang, just as there are differing archetypal patterns of yin.

An archetype is an energetic blueprint or pattern. In the Earth, it defines how the land takes form. When we understand the archetypal qualities defined by Carl Jung in his work on the human psyche, we are able to extend the pattern of anima/animus that exists there to the psyche of the land. The same patterns exist throughout the universe. The heartbeat of the universe is the alternating of the forces of union and separation of these diverse aspects of the archetypal masculine and feminine expressions of nature.

To explore this further, click on Sacred Geometry: Love with a big L.

When a stream is dammed and the water is unable to flow in its natural manner, many things happen. The water, in its still state loses energetic frequency. The water downstream is depleted of the imprints from upstream and the power derived from flow. The stream is virtually re-sourcing in the wrong place.

The land loses out because the energetic links between archetypal sites are lost. The consciousness of the people is affected by this drop in frequency as the archetype is lowered to a degenerated form. For example, the archetypal nature of heroic active masculine drops to warrior, then to wounded warrior and degenerates further to predator. The archetypal nature of nurturing feminine drops to the martyring mother and further to the devouring female “spider”. Human consciousness follows suit. Hence the degeneration of consciousness with the degeneration of the energies of the Earth.

On the physical level, the temperature levels of the water change. The large mass of dam water will be colder. Downstream, the lesser body of water will be warmer. The ecology of the stream has to alter to accommodate the temperature change.

When water is released intermittently, it not only raises and lowers the level of the water downstream at different times of the year and seasons from what is natural, but raises and lowers temperature as well. The ecology has to respond to a random pattern. It remains perpetually in repair mode, rather than in a state of regenerative sustainability. The degenerated water quality affects everything that is dependent upon that water, imprinting the lowered frequency into the cells of creatures, plants, trees and crops, and humans, as well as the land that it flows through.

 

And so, to the sea..

The pace of the river has also been altered by the dramatic loss of the vegetation and flood debris along the banks. There is little to brake the river. Because it is moving faster, it tends to cut a straighter channel and a deeper bed. It arrives at its destination much sooner than it should. As the fall of the land flattens out, the river slows and widens and drops its load of silt brought down from the upper reaches. If the river is moving too fast, the silt is deposited from the mouth into the sea, changing the river mouth from sandy to muddy and the ecology with it.

The ocean, as the great gatherer of the waters, like some great collective energetic consciousness is missing many of the higher frequencies of information that usually are fed to it by the streams and takes on physical pollution as well as vibrational frequency pollution in the water memory.

 

There is much work to do to restore our sacred waters to their natural state. The reward for doing so will be the improved health of everything on the planet! The bonus will be the lift in human consciousness.

Perhaps even the answer to the current climate of fear in the world lies in prayers for the sacred waters.

Let us return to respect for the font, the fountain, the well and the spring.

Let us Love our Sacred Waters from the source to the sea.
