This may seem like a silly post, but it's actually in response to one of the questions I receive most often: “Do you have any suggestions on how I can drink more water?”.
In my early twenties one of my Ayurvedic teachers taught us about Surya Chikitsa, a natural treatment using the sun. He discussed how filling colored glasses of water and placing them in the sun allowed the water to be solarized and absorb the healing properties of the color. Since then, I have started drinking my water out of colored glasses or bottles once I understood their color frequencies as related to the to the *chakras.
If I'm feeling a bit extra and have a moment to add a fresh edible flower, or a fresh sprig of mint or basil, I will add that too - which makes water drinking seem more like a ritual than a necessity. Water is our first medicine.
Right now I am drinking water from a purple glass carafe with a yellow brittle-bush flower from my yard. Purple-Violet as it relates to the chakra system reinforces Divine Realization and stimulates creative imagination. Perfect for writing this post.
HOW TO SOLARIZE YOUR WATER WITH THE COLOR FREQUENCIES
Decide which chakra you want to work with and choose your color accordingly
Get a glass in the color of the chakra you want to work with.
Fill the glass with water (preferably spring water if you have access to it) and place it in the sun.
Allow it to sit there for at least an hour. The sun's rays will have infused the water with the vibrations of the colored container.
I then incorporate that water with the rest of my water I intend to drink on that day.
The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “wheel”. In both Buddhism and Hinduism the chakras are represented by colourful wheels along the spine from the base to the top of the head. You can learn more about them HERE.
