be like water

Water is a vital element of life. Everything in our blue planet needs it and thrives on it. Including us. 

In a translation of the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 8, Lao Tzu states, “the best of [wo/]men are like water.” To quote Bruce Lee's famous teaching philosophy is, "Be Water, my friend. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water."

Water covers over seventy percent of the Earth's surface with seas and oceans making up most of the water volume (at over 95%). The human body contains from 55% to 78% water, depending on our body size.

Change Warrior is a lifelong fan of Bruce Lee. Before Jet Li, before Jackie Chan Asia had Bruce Lee to inspire us all. He was the beacon that drew us into a world of possibilities and potential.

In shamanic practice water is a valuable element and resource we honor and respect as vital to all of life. Connecting with the Spirit of Water is incredibly transformative for all growth and healing. 

Water is a fundamental element of life - its importance should never be overlooked. Without water, there can be no life. The Spirit of Water offers a connection to the deepest aspects of ourselves and the world around us.

Water is a symbol of purity and cleansing. We are all connected with the Spirit of Water - from the womb, all throughout our existence, and long after we are dead and gone. Water can cleanse us of negative emotions, thoughts, and energy. 

Water also represents emotional healing - often associated with the ebb and flow of our tides and emotions. When we connect with the Spirit of Water, we gain a deeper understanding of our self, our purpose, our life.

Instead of wasting and polluting the water in our world we need to appreciate it more and be better stewards of this essential resource - always.
