Water you waiting for...

You might’ve seen my quick Instagram story a few days ago regarding my 3 AM hysterical breakdown with full-blown abdominal cramping and projectile snot everywhere - like it was the first week of Matt’s passing.

And if you didn’t, that’s what’s up.

I was awake from 3 - 5 AM while total devastation, longing and grief overcame me.

So goes the roller coaster…

That’s not (exactly) what this email is about.

I want you to start talking to your water. I’ve been doing this off and on for a few years. Low-key of course because I’m already on the spectrum of absolute lunacy in the eyes of many.

I talk to my water every morning. I thank her for keeping me healthy, for healing inflammation, and for drawing abundance into my days…

One of my favorite podcasts is KNOW THYSELF with Andre Duqum. He recently interviewed Veda Austin. I hope you know of Veda Austin. If you do, high five … If you do not, I can’t wait to tell you about her. She’s a crystallographer. For the last 15 years she has studied the mysterious intelligence of Water. Her work, in my opinion, is deeply fascinating and getting more attention with the release of her book The Living Language of Water. Her work can be seen on her IG page but listening to the conversation between Veda and Andre really explains the powerful scope of her findings.

I fully believe Water is conscious hence why I talk to it. It’s alive. It’s holy. It’s been around for millennia. It changes form. It’s 71% of the Earth and 70% of the adult human body.

Do you know what else is water… your tears.

Your emotionally driven tears have a higher concentration of protein making them thicker, slower, and more viscous than tears you cry from an irritant or reflex tears from a foreign object in the eye. It is proposed that in a possible evolutionary advantage, tears will move down your cheek slowly when you are crying out of sorrow or grief so that someone may see you and comfort you. In the interview, Veda talks about tears moving from your tear ducts down your cheek and then back into your mouth as they are designed and programmed to return to heal and expand the heart. If you have an enormous cry FEST… Which I highly recommend… You will feel better afterward and you may notice your heart will feel better too.

I’ve started an experiment…

I’m talking to every glass of water I drink for the next 30 days. What is the measure you ask? Can it be analyzed? Is this carefully designed for objectivity and to minimize errors?

Yeah, no.

How can I be sure this works?

I can’t.

But I have a strong belief and as you know belief is an innately powerful tool.

I can’t wait to see how I feel.

Sidebar ::: Don’t you just love being alive at this time.

Is 2025 perfect? Clearly, no.

Are half the topics of my weekly emails a conversation that would have gotten me burned on a stake? Probably, yes.

At a time when you can be anything and learn anything I hope you’re taking advantage of the blessing that is this moment.

The blessing that is your life.

Water you waiting for?

OKAYILOVEYOUBYEEE,
