Spiritual Awakening: Getting Wet!!!
Living in South Florida I have experienced rain and torrential thunder storms and each time when I am out and about I hear people say don’t get wet. I could never understand this as the rain is a cleansing agent and a nurturing agent. True it may be an inconvenience but think about it the energy that is in that rain and in that storm. When we were children we would relish the fact that we could play in the rain. There was a fascination in the rain. This fascination subsides in many of us in our adult lives as rain becomes what we perceive to be a bad thing when in reality it is a good thing. The power that the water in the rain has is amazing it can help to grow grass, grow fruits and vegetables, clean the oil off our roads, fill the basins for our drinking water, and create a cleansing energy when you just stop for a moment and watch the rain fall. Water is a powerful element when it comes to experiencing a spiritual awakening. From the beginning of time water has been a powerful elixir used to cleanse and balance and create.
The power of water is amazing as you can see your reflection and find strength. I find that when I am around water I have a sense of peacefulness that comes over me. In the Catholic Church water is used to baptize a child and thus create a purity. Recently many adults have accepted Jesus as their savior and have been baptized again feeling the anointing of the holy spirit. With this anointing they are born again and spiritually awakened and able to pursue their purpose. Water also plays a major role in The Jewish Faith as it is used in many ceremonial practices such as entering a home after a funeral when all those who enter the home wash their hands prior to entering the home to wash the concept of death of them and to become pure again. 
The Lord knew that the proper use of water and keeping the water pure would create beautiful scenes and as a result create areas where people could visit and get re-centered and balanced. Have you ever just sat on the bank of a body of water and witnessed the calmness and been conscious of the feelings it brought to you both mentally and physically. A great way to make the mind, body, soul connection is to sit quietly around a body of water and write in your journal, or meditate. Water is a powerful energy source that allows you to get into the flow and to take action.
