Water Blessing
Water Spirit with no beginning, no end;
Above Her, below Her, within Her you flow
Of tri-clustered orbs is your essence composed,
To shapeshift as liquid, to solid to gas,
precipitate, evaporate, sublime in a flash.
Water Spirit with no beginning, no end;
I wave my hands passed your beautiful blue,
To honor your blessings, refreshing and cool,
And to join in the song of all beings on Earth,
Please keep dancing your cycle for our constant rebirth.

The Hydro Cycle Layout
This is useful for questions about your emotional health, emotional issues, old or new, or the emotions of those close to you.
It is an appropriate topic on this celebratory day, to introduce the Water Blessing I composed, for use in divination, prior to doing the water cycle layout (excerpt from Chapter 5 in the Microbe Whisperer Guidebook).
Today is a day to celebrate water and water protectors, due to the decision by the Department of the Army to halt drilling under the Missouri River. Many who love the land and water stood strong until this decision was made. Now alternate routes for the Dakota Access pipeline will be considered, thanks to these courageous supporters of Mother Earth.
Why do we call our Planet Mother Earth?
As babies in their mother’s womb rely on their mother for support, so we too rely on the Mother for supporting our feet as we tread and skip and dance over her.
As babies rely on their mother’s womb for their sole source of nutrition, we too rely on the Mother for our source of food, from the plants that we harvest and the animals that feed on these plants, grown by the light of the sun.
As babies rely on their mother’s blood stream for hydration and oxygen, we too rely on the Mother’s “blood stream” as rivers, tributaries, creeks, and ponds and the great ocean for hydration and we rely on the atmosphere that is created by her water cycle for our life-giving breaths of oxygen.
As a baby is connected to its mother umbilically, we are connected to the earth. What affects her affects us, we kick, she hurts, she takes in toxins, and we are poisoned too when they enter our blood stream from hers (the waterways).
When I was working with my physical teachers, they taught me that as healer and shamanic practitioners, their own bodies would reflect ills that had befallen Mother Earth. As they healed themselves so their own healing practices would resonate alleviating some of Mother Earth’s burden.
These card layouts have been created by me to correlate our own spiritual, emotional, physical and psychological well-being with that of our Mother’s.
By rebalancing our emotions, physical bodies, our mental and physical states of being, we contribute to rebalancing our Mother Earth.
