( the whimsical way of water )

by jennifer hetrick

henriette alban knows, loves, and respects the intelligence and memory capabilities possible in water. as a doctor of naturopathy, based in the city of reading, she uses natural and holistic approaches to help people steer more clear of not so amiable societal constructs and far from nutritionally valuable foods (what she calls non-food, in fact) that keep them from being happy and healthy. but she also uses her wholesome energy to encourage people away from the especially tenacious influences of  culturally conditioned mind-anchors of negativity that hold many down today.
    
her biography on her website summarizes it well. it reads, “an early desire to see people free from bondage in mind, body, and spirit has shaped my life. out of this grew the quest to be a beneficial presence in the world.”
    
and water is just one of the ways alban reaches out to others to share the positive in what she’s learned through her studies. she gratefully takes the opportunity to recognize the possibilities in water, when it comes to people, and strives to help them understand its value to human life well beyond simple hydration.
    
alban follows the work of a japanese scientist known as masaru emoto who writes extensively on the subject of the spirituality of water. many may look at water as something basic, plain, and simply an element of the natural environment. but alban easily advocates that water is so much more.
    
“we know that water is life-giving, and we are 90 percent water when we’re born, but in our later stages of life, it’s more around 70 percent,” alban says. “nevertheless, water courses through every cell and every part of our organs.”
    
explaining that water is full of energy and information, alban is enamored with this knowledge and what it can mean for people.
    
“the information that water shares with our body, whether we’re aware of it or not, is one of wholeness, sacredness, continuity, and aliveness. water is alive with energy and information,” she reiterates.
    
“emoto decided to look into water by freezing water collected from different sources, photographing its crystals in a 20 to 30-second window,” she elaborates. “water that is very pure and clean makes for really gorgeous crystals. some of these crystals are very beautiful. they’re usually hexagonal.”
    
alban mentions that the crystals themselves are a testimonial to how much energy and information for beauty and love exists in the love exists in the universe. regarding water as a substance that is contained within the human body and knowing, through emoto’s research, that it responds to vibration, love, and words says a lot more for the potential of what it can do and be in the world if positive energy is embracing it through even the phrases we voice.

details on experiments about how water reacts to positive language, negative language, and being ignored are a part of emoto's writings.
    
“the longevity of things that are loved, be they animate or inanimate, be they people, animals, plants, or food, is inevitably clear,” alban says.
    
“when we consider that we don't like someone, each other, or ourselves, and we have these nasty thoughts about us, how does that affect the water in our bodies, our clarity, and our way of being in the world ?” alban poses in question. “how does it affect the water that is meant to bathe our organs, reproduce cellularly, and carry our blood as plasma, in this case ?”

of crystals and their beautiful forms in response 
to positive words and music, while hateful and unkind 
music forms no crystals but angry blurs in pictures )

her reverence for water is effortlessly something she sees strong value in sharing.
    
“so the thought of the idea of having water as a spiritual medium becomes powerfully clear,” alban reflects.
    
“there are always people who say, ‘well, i can't get over the fact that i can't stand this person who is horrible’,” she offers. “what if we didn't focus on the person and their behavior. what if in passing anyone, we would just say ‘i love you’ to the water inside of them?”
    
consider this, too. “think of the water in your body, and let that speak for you,” alban says about love of the self in front of a mirror. “it's like a healing—from the inside out.”
