From all the water in the world only 3% is fresh, and from this 3% only less than one third is available!!! This means that only 1% of the earth’s water is usable, and the rest is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps or is deep within the earth which is beyond our reach. In other words from 100 liters of earth’s water, only about half a tablespoon is fresh and usable!
As the population is growing, more and more people are using this limited resource. So it is getting more and more important to make use of water we have wisely and not to waste it. We often waste so much water while taking shower, brushing the teeth and gardening which we can change and try to preserve more of this %1 precious water for everyone.
Besides considering the physical aspect of using water, there us an energy aspect also that need to be addressed. Water has the ability to absorb energy. Therefore how the water is processed and stored affects its quality. About two third of our body is water, so it is very important to also take care of its energy counterpart.
As drinking fresh & clean water brings a better health for us, drinking energetically contaminated water disturbs our health. This is one of the reasons why spiritual practitioners bless water after their meditations especially during wesak festival and full moons and call it “blessed water.” The belief is that the blessed water promotes physical & psychological health as it is charged by positive divine energies!
