As the fall sets in and it begins to get cold I am reminiscent of summer water. I was fortunate to spend some time back in Sedona, AZ over the summer. While I was back there I was able to go to the creek with old friends and my brother many times. We even found a new favorite spot which is an amazing swimming hole.

Sedona has wonderfully beautiful red rock mountains and the creek flows between these red rocks. The summer water is a perfect temperature to cool down from the hot Arizona heat. Though I actually appreciate the Arizona heat after a long winter in northern Colorado. Not that I'm complaining to be living in Boulder, CO. I was even also able to get a nice dose of summer water from the Boulder creek which reminds me a bit of the Oak Creek in Sedona.

I grew up in Sedona and some of my favorite memories are going to the creek day after day in the summer. All my friends would meet up there and have a blast. Back then we were more daring and would jump off the cliffs and do crazy flips and acrobats. Though we did do some cliff jumping this summer but the acrobats have toned down quite a bit.

One of my favorite things to do this last summer was to dunk my body and stay under as long as I could and just sense the water and the Earth as mindfully as possible. A good friend of mine took me to a special creek spot in Telluride this year when the water was still very cold but we both got in anyways. Although he was the only one to get all the way in. He told me that it really grounded him to the Earth. So this summer I really paid attention to that and he was right, water is a great  connector to the Earth. There were even times when we were at a favorite spot of ours in Sedona called Essene Beach and I would go under the water and feel so connected to the Earth that old memories of being connected to it and specifically the creek, would surface in my consciousness and I could even feel it in my bones. I love Water and Earth and all the elements dearly. Thank you life!

I recently watched an episode of How The Universe Works and in it Theoretical Physicist Michio Kaku claimed that "Hydrogen atoms in water were born shortly after the Big Bang and then came everything else." Now if that doesn't get you thinking about hydrogen and water I don't know what else will. By now many of us know how important a role hydrogen plays in our lives. Among other things it helps to reduce free radicals in our body and free radicals are known to cause aging and disease. And what is a good way to get more hydrogen? Drink more water, in particular, structured water because the hydrogen will be more available.

But, thanks to the alkaline water craze, people are realizing that not all water is the same and some water has a more balanced pH level then others. What does pH mean? Hydrogen potential. So if the pH is higher then there is a higher level of hydrogen potential. So it is great to have your water at a natural balance of 7.0-7.5 pH so that you are getting a good amount of hydrogen potential. But what is hydrogen?

What Is Hydrogen?

Well obviously hydrogen is a gas. But was is that? I'm going to get philosophical now because I'm just amazed by this statement that "Hydrogen atoms in water were born shortly after the Big Bang and then came everything else." To me this means that hydrogen is part of our prime creation. Before that it was energy and before that it was, well, I don't know, nothing ?

Maybe if I catch you up more on the nature of our Universe's creation by explaining what scientists have unraveled by studying the Big Bang you will get more of the picture I am seeing.

The Big Bang

The Universe began with the Big Bang around 12-14 billion years ago. But it didn't look like it does now when it first began. To start it went through a heat wave that makes our Sun look like the Moon. Then for 380,000 years it was all a milky soup of loose electrons that eventually cooled down enough to allow the electrons to slow down and stick to atoms. Then it began to mass produce atoms and finally create hydrogen. Then it created helium and lithium. Around this time clouds of hydrogen and helium gases began a 200 million year period of floating in space until finally these gases came together and ignited into stars. Over this period the Universe had begun to clear up and the one we see today slowly started to take shape.

One billion years after the Big Bang galaxies began to form. Over the next 8 billion years countless more galaxies took shape. Then about 5 billion years ago in a quiet region of one of these galaxies, gravity began to pull in dust and gas until it finally clumped together enough to give birth to our Sun. Our solar system, 9 billion years after the Big Bang, sprang to life and with it planet Earth.

What's also amazing is that it almost took a completely different direction. In the beginning there was a battle between matter and antimatter. When these two collide they obliterate each other. Well there was basically a billion units of antimatter and a billion and one units of matter and because of that one unit more, matter won and that's all it took to create the known Universe with it's countless galaxies of suns, planets, moons and so on.

I still haven't found the answers to the questions I have about what hydrogen or gas really is but the next time you drink a glass of structured water, think about the hydrogen you are about to digest and how this hydrogen was one of the first creations of our Universe. Maybe you will have an epiphany and you can share it in the comments down below.

There are many ways these days to approach the description of non-ordinary reality or forces beyond the physical. It could be soul, spirit, mind, field, energy, higher self, divine energy or non-ordinary reality and forces beyond the physical just to name the most common ones I know of. Now many people in the science community believe that if you can't see it or quantify it, then it isn't real. To tell you the truth, I am completely open to this idea, but I'm also open to there being spirit.

Well, I certainly like to quantify things and just like the Dalai Lama, I follow certain philosophies that I am willing to adjust based on proven scientific reality, but I also believe that there is more than the eye or our scientific instruments have yet to see. I say yet because I wouldn't be surprised if one day we could find a way to measure spiritual experiences. There are actually some scientists like Mario Beauregard and Denyse O'Leary, two neuroscientists who wrote The Spiritual Brain, who claim to have proven that there are forces outside the brain that influence our experience. Or Bruce Lipton, a Cell Biologist, who has discovered that there is a force outside our cells that seems to be exchanging energy and information.

So what I would really like to ponder in this post is; if there is a spiritual aspect to the Universe, then what is the spirit of water all about? Here are some human like questions; Are there many spirits of water? Does every drop of water have a spirit? What is a water spirit like? Since we are mostly water are we in communion with the spirit of water? Does water even have it's own spirit? If water has a spirit, does it blend with ours or are we all one connected spirit on the spiritual level or is it separate, even on that level? If the spirit of water could speak to us, what would it say? Am I saying it right now? Either way, I would like to give thanks to the spirit of water. Thank you!

I would like to show appreciation for the Gary White and Matt Damon water cause and their organization Water.org, which they co-found. They have figured out a way to help many people in poverty stricken communities find better access to cleaner water. Many people around the world have to scavenge for water and quite often walk miles a day for water which might not even be clean.

Water.org envisions a world where everyone in the world has clean water. Here are some water statistics from the Fast Company article, on Matt Damon's water cause, about the current water crisis:

• Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease.

• About 80% of sewage in developing countries is discharged untreated.

• More people have cell phones than access to a decent toilet.

• 3.6 million people die each year from water-related diseases.

• Less than 1% of the world's fresh water is readily accessible for direct human use.

• The average American uses 100 gallons of water per day; the average African uses 12 gallons per day.

• Nearly 1 billion people lack access to safe water.

• Millions of women and children spend several hours a day collecting water from distant, often polluted sources.

Water.org, which Structuredwaterunit.com supports, raises money to drill for wells in these communities. Along with this they educate the people to maintain the wells and teach smarter solutions for the local communities to keep the water flowing in their area.

Along with raising money and developing water infrastructures, Water.org also provides reasonable loans to people in need of them to set up their access to water which they call Water Credits. It's a micro-finance tool that seems to be working well. It was essentially Gary White's idea and it has made him a big deal in the philanthropic world, earning him a Skoll Award in 2009 from Social Entrepreneurship. In the Fast Company article Matt Damon said, "WaterCredit is proof that risky ideas can work. It's a big idea done right, and it's working all over the place. That's when it gets exciting.

Structuredwaterunit.com supports the Gary White and Matt Damon Water Cause and their organization Water.org. For every Structured Water Unit sold Structuredwaterunit.com donates $10 to Water.org.
