Rain


Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day. 
Little Johnny wants to play.

It's raining, it's pouring,  
The old man is snoring. 
He fell out of bed and bumped his head  
And couldn't get up in the morning.

Because Spring is approaching...



Spring Quiet
Christina Rossetti (1847)




Gone were but the Winter,
  Come were but the Spring,
I would go to a covert
  Where the birds sing.

Where in the whitethom
  Sings a thrush,
And a robin sings
  In the holly-bush.

Full of fresh scents
  Are the budding boughs
Arching high over
  A cool green house:

Full of sweet scents,
  And whispering air
Which says softly:
  “We spread no snare;

“Here dwell in safety,
  Here dwell alone,
With a clear stream
  And a mossy stone.

“Here the sun shines
  Most shadily;
Here is heard an echo
  Of the far sea,
  Though far off it be.”

THE SURPRISING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WATER, YOUR 

THOUGHTS, AND YOUR HEALTH

I am sure you have heard before that water is essential for optimal health. After all, you can live for extended periods without food, but not without water.

Why is water so essential?

Here are just a few reasons:

  • Your body is 75 percent water
  • Your blood is 82 percent water.
  • Your lungs are 90 pecent water.
  • Your brain is made up of 90 percent water.

In fact, water plays a role in nearly every function in your body, from regulating temperature and cushioning joints to bringing oxygen to cells and removing waste.

And yet so many people today are dehydrated.

There are physical AND emotional reasons we may be dehydrated: low self-esteem can lead to dehydration even if you drink plenty of water.

How water affects your thoughts

Many of you may be familiar with the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto. A doctor of alternative medicine and visionary researcher, Dr. Emoto found that human vibrational energy (thoughts, words, ideas and music) affects the molecular structure of water.

We know from Dr. Emoto’s work, that we have the power to transform the structure of water through our thoughts, words and actions. And at the same time, how you hydrate your body – the quality, quantity, and frequency of the water you drink – has a direct effect on your health.
