Hydration as Light

The Language of Flow

I have always felt that water carries memory. Not just of the earth, but of us, our emotions, our light, and our capacity to flow. My recent travels reminded me of this truth in ways that felt both ancient and new.

Everywhere I went, there was water. The still expanse of Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, where silence shimmered across the surface like a mirror to the soul. I could sense the presence of the Helvetii, the lake people whose memory still lingers in the crystalline depth of the water. The canals of Giethoorn in The Netherlands, carved by human hands and shaped by the natural flow of the land, carried stories of community, movement, and adaptation. And the Seine in Paris, protecting the Île de la Cité, the island where the city itself was born, held the memory of devotion and the pulse of time. These waters remember. They hold the imprints of those who lived, built, loved, and prayed beside them. Light dances on their surface, but their depths carry the wisdom of ages.

Water was the thread that wove my journey together, a teacher whispering through every ripple that to heal, I must flow.

And then there was light. The soft gold of sunrise helped me ground when I arrived, aligning my body with the rhythm of place. I live by circadian rhythm, and it always guides me home no matter where I am.

Two years ago, I was introduced to my personal stone chart at Cristaux et Couleurs, a small crystal shop in Paris. When I returned this time, the woman remembered me. She told me my next stone should be the one connected to my soul, opal. She explained that opal holds the energy to release my block to receiving and helps align me with my soul’s path. Its translucency mirrors the light within, waiting to be revealed. Opal has been my favorite stone since childhood, and now I understand why. It carries both water and light within its form, just as I do.

At the Musée d’Orsay, I stood before the brushstrokes of Monet, Renoir, and Degas. The Impressionists were not trying to capture form, but the experience of light itself. They painted movement and reflection, the interplay between color and atmosphere, the essence of what could not be contained. Their art felt alive, almost breathing. In that moment, I realized how similar their work was to the living waters of the body. Both are expressions of flow, of light embodied.

The Language of Flow

Hydration is not a task. It is a relationship and a remembrance. The body is an electrical being, and water is its current. When light enters through the eyes, the skin, and the morning sun, it interacts with the structured water within and around every cell.

Structured water acts as the body’s internal crystal lattice. It absorbs and transmits energy like fiber optics, carrying bioelectric signals that keep us coherent and connected. When our inner waters hold charge, the cells remember how to heal.

Hydration is not about drinking half your weight in ounces. It is about charge, movement, and coherence. The way water moves through the body depends on its vitality, its mineral composition, and its ability to hold light.

Hydration is the transmission of light through matter.

Saliva, often overlooked, is one of the body’s most sacred waters. When it is structured and vibrant, it carries messages between the mouth and the body with precision. It is how the inner terrain communicates, an electrical current that delivers minerals, enzymes, and intelligence to rebuild, protect, and remember wholeness. True hydration allows saliva to hold structure, and that structure is what allows the mouth to heal.

The Mouth as a Mirror of Flow

The mouth reflects the body’s internal movement. A dry or sticky mouth often signals stagnation or depletion. But when the body’s waters are vibrant, saliva glides easily, minerals flow through the dentinal channels, and the teeth begin to glow from within.

This is the true language of remineralization. It is not a product or a paste. It is the quiet movement of water that knows where to go, what to carry, and how to restore balance. Hydration that comes from living water, vortexed, sung to by sunlight, and infused with minerals from the earth, reminds the body of its natural rhythm and intelligence.

Water, Emotion, and the Light Within

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the element of Water lives within the Kidney system, the root of vitality and the source of courage, flow, and adaptability. When Kidney Qi is strong, we trust the movement of life. When it is weak, fear and contraction take hold, and our inner waters become still or heavy.

I have always carried deep water within me. Cancer Sun, Scorpio Moon, and Scorpio Rising. Mintakan origins flow through my soul. The pull of tides lives in my emotions, and I often feel more ocean than body. Yet for years, I struggled to drink water. I could feel that much of what we call water today is lifeless, filtered, stagnant, stripped of its charge. My body longed for water that was alive, structured, and sung to by light. So I learned to hydrate differently.

I bless my water. I swirl it to create movement. I eat foods grown under the sun, fruits, vegetables, broths, and teas that hold the memory of light. These are waters that nourish the crystalline within me. They remind me that hydration is not about quantity but quality, not about forcing intake but restoring connection.

When I tend to my waters with reverence, rhythm, and remembrance, I tend to my light. I begin to heal not by adding more, but by aligning with what already lives within me.

Returning to Flow

Each sunrise is a chance to begin again. To stand in stillness and receive light that feeds the water within. To move, to breathe, to reconnect to the current that runs through all things.

When I visited Saint-Sulpice, I stood before the gnomon and the obelisk, where light, geometry, and cosmic rhythm meet. The meridian line running across the church floor is part of a living solar calendar, a way for sunlight to mark the passage of time and align humanity with the divine order of the cosmos. The golden ratio and the phi spiral are encoded in this sacred space, revealing the language of creation and coherence.

The cross upon the obelisk reflects this same truth. The vertical line represents the divine, spirit, light, and higher consciousness descending into form. The horizontal line represents the human, the movement of life across earth and time. Where they meet is the heart, the still point where the divine and human merge.

To me, heaven and hell are not separate worlds. They exist here, within this plane, within us. They are states of alignment or disconnection from flow.

Today, as I sip my morning mineral water, I think of the Impressionists and their devotion to light, of the opal and its shimmering soul, of the rivers that carried me across Europe and back into myself.

Hydration is how I remember. It is how I conduct the divine through form. It is how I return to coherence, the meeting point of light and water, spirit and body, remembrance and renewal.

So, bless your water. Let it move. Let it remember you.

Because you are water,
and you are light.
