What would you say if I told you that one of the most powerful tools for our healing is also one of the most common substances on earth? What if I told you that to find large quantities of this miracle substance you need look no further than your own body? “You’re mad, Horse!” you might say. Be that as it may *ahem* — work with me here, I’m going somewhere with this.
The substance is! (drumroll) …Plain ol’ water.
A Japanese scientist named Masaru Emoto has done some amazing work investigating the properties of water. His experiments involved slowly freezing samples that had been subjected to various influences, and photographing the resulting crystals. The first results indicated that clean, pure water would form beautiful symmetrical crystals — whereas samples from polluted areas would not form crystals at all.
The really amazing results came out when Emoto subjected his water samples to different kinds of emotional stimuli. On some, he would focus positive emotions like love and gratitude. On others, hate and derision. He found that, again, the water that received positive attention formed into intricate geometric shapes, whereas the negative samples would freeze into a shapeless mass. This same effect was reproduced even when words and phrases were typed onto slips of paper, attached to the water samples and left overnight. Influences like meditation and different types of music have been tried as well, with similar results.
A summary of Emoto’s work was featured in the film “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” and its implications were explored. The idea was that if this is the effect emotions have on water, and over 2/3 of our planet is water, and over 2/3 of our bodies are made up of water — what can this tell us? The implication seems to be that water is an impressionable substance that can “record” focused emotion and intent in a way that clearly demonstrates the effects of consciousness on physical matter.
Shortly after seeing “What the Bleep…” one day I woke up and found myself sicker than I had been in years. I had been up since about 3am with severe flu-like symptoms. As of about 10am I was still unable to hold down even a few sips of water for more than fifteen minutes. Thinking back on the film and Emoto’s work, for lack of anything better to do I got myself a large glass of water and meditated with it for about fifteen minutes. With the glass in my lap I raised a bunch of energy between my hands, and intended the concept of “perfect health” into the energy. When I felt like I had a good enough flow going, I directed the energy and intention into the water. The result? I was able to finish the whole large glass, and it stayed down. By noon, I was feeling almost back to normal. By that evening I was completely well. Score one for Emoto! 
I can’t help but wonder how far this can be taken. I’ve done a bit more experimentation with it, but have a lot of ideas I’ve yet to test. I’m particularly interested in further exploration of the fact that we are all connected, not only by energy as is often pointed out, but physically by the water cycle. Think about it — water passes through every living thing on earth, in and out of the earth, into the atmosphere and back down again. With that in mind we can come up with even more implications and ways this knowledge can be used to improve things at the individual and world levels. Experiments have already been conducted involving group meditations around a lake, which was then noted for having a marked decrease in pollution compared to the norm. (Source) I am also aware of group meditation experiments that have been correlated with a noticeable decrease in the crime rate of the area in which it was conducted. (Source) I’m not aware of whether these two ideas, meditating around a body of water and then noting any change in crime rate, but if such an experiment has not already been conducted, it should be.
What other experiments could be done with water, toward improving our quality of life and coming to a more full awareness of our interconnectedness?

But as of today that problem has dramatically decreased, and I’m hoping its on its way to healing completely.
At that point I knew I had found a new tool and figured I’d had enough fun for one night, so I mentally turned my personal bubble back on before I crossed the street so my space wouldn’t be invaded by any speeding vehicles. 
An energetic cord is a structure through which energy and information are exchanged. When we interact with others, these attachments are created between both parties, especially when the interaction is emotionally charged, or the relationship is long term. They operate regardless of distance and can persist long after a relationship has ended. When the energy flowing through a cord is positive and balanced a relationship is probably healthy; however when it is only flowing in one direction, or what is going through it is negative, the result is emotional turmoil. As these cords can play such a significant role in our lives for better or worse, learning how to work with them directly puts us a step ahead of the game. One of the most important things to consider when doing this work is that intent is much more important than technique. Don’t worry about doing these exercises “right”, having a hard time visualizing, or spend time worrying about whether what you did was effective. Simply holding the strong, focused intent that the cord will be affected in the way you’re shooting for and your efforts will be effective regardless of how you go about it. The techniques here should be considered a jumping off point for experimenting and developing your own style of going about things. Before performing any of these actions on a cord I recommend getting into a relaxed, focused state. If you know how to meditate, do so; otherwise anything you can do to relax and quiet your mind is fine.
This is probably the most commonly known way to address an unhealthy attachment. Cords should be cut in cases where any further contact with the other person, on any level, would be unhealthy. Simply see and feel yourself holding the cord mentally, and then forming whatever cutting tool is most comfortable for you to work with – a knife, a sword, or even a pair of scissors. I also burn my end of the connection to cauterize it, as a way of reaffirming that I don’t want the connection to reform. However, you may find it necessary to do this exercise more than once, especially if you still have to interact with the person, or find it difficult to stop thinking about them (read: giving them more of your energy). In my experience this has been a powerful technique for making it much easier to move on after the end of a difficult relationship. In one such instance, nearly a year after a relationship had ended and there had been no further contact, I suddenly found myself getting freshly upset and resentful over some things that had happened as if they were recent, even though I previously thought I had been over it for months. So, I cut cords with this person, and the results were almost immediate. The emotional impact of those events vanished literally overnight, and I was finally in a position to wish this person well and move on once and for all.
This is a more temporary measure to stop the flow of energy between yourself and the other person when you wish to do so without actually ending the relationship. This can be useful if there’s been a falling out, and you need some time to sort your feelings out and get your head back together so it can be addressed in a balanced and objective way. To do this I simply imagine myself putting a clamp on our connection and squeezing it closed. I generally put clamps close to my physical body and inside my aura, which I believe helps keep them from being removed until I choose to do so.
Her and I worked out and resolved the conflict soon after it happened, but even though we had forgiven each other, our relationship was much more distant than before. Eventually after not having heard from this person for several months, I remembered the clamp, and removed it. I heard from her the very next day, and our friendship quickly picked up again with the same closeness as it had before the original conflict.
This is even more temporary than clamping, and is more suited to controlling what kind of energy is coming through a connection. If a relationship is generally healthy, but for whatever reason you’re being negatively affected by the other person’s energy due to present circumstances, you can filter out the negativity but keep the good stuff coming through. This can be as simple as stuffing some cotton into your end of the cord (or, in my case, using a coffee filter and a rubber band
