Living amidst nature can be such a beautiful learning
experience, one of the lessons we learned while we were living in the
countryside was the importance of water. During summer, temperatures
would soar up to 42 degrees Celsius (107 Fahrenheit) inside the house
and it was even more outside.
But the most gruesome challenge was the lack of water; we were living
on rain water that collected in the ground. By summer the water well
would run dry, changing the entire landscape – trees would loose their
leaves or they look all shriveled up, the only time we would hear a bird
would be early in the morning or at the time of sunset.
We would eagerly await the arrival of monsoons, as that drastically
changed the barren landscape to a spectrum of luscious green. Birds
display their best shades and sing their finest tunes to attract mates,
flowers blossom, butterflies chase each other while dragonflies dart
about. The vibration changed completely with the onset of the rains,
every plant and animal moves from survival mode to growth and
reproduction, love is in the air.
When we were young it was natural for us to go out and get wet in the
first rains, the cure for the prickly heat. Although today in any major
city, the pollution brings down acid rain that isn’t good at all. In the
days gone by, almost all Indian healers specializing in the treatment
of cancer recommend the use of rain water.
A research conducted on
traditional medicinal knowledge with regards to rain water
by Pankaj Oudhia, states, “The healers prefer the water from first
rains, but in case of poor collection, they collect water from
subsequent rains. For collection of rain water, they prefer Tamra Patra
(Copper vessels). The traditional healers in interior regions having not
enough purchasing capacity to buy Tamra Patra, use earthen pots (Ghada)
to collect rain water.
According to them, the water must be collected before it reaches the
ground, although the rain water coming down through plants are also
collected but they have specific list of plants that can be used for
this purpose.”
Ayurveda or ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine
native to the Indian subcontinent and a form of alternative medicine.
Here’s an
ayurvedic weight loss recipe that uses rain water as one of its ingredients.
But don’t you think that water dropping from the sky at a point of
time when there is so much of positivity will have some kind of change
in its molecular structure? It will only seem familiar if you have heard
of
Masaru Emoto’s work, that talks about how water adapts according to the environment it is in.
Back to my story, in a week after the rains start, the ground water is
replenished. We would then be bathing and drinking this water straight
from the ground without any boiling or filtering. There is a feeling of
being charged when you consume this water and even a bath with it
without altering its natural temperature is most refreshing. People who
have lived long life spans have often had one thing in common, access to
high quality clean water.
Not to forget the
calming feeling evoked by the sound of rain water, it’s supposed to open up the fourth or the heart
chakra.
On a personal note I feel that this is one of the reasons that my hair
loss stopped and I actually regained some lost growth while living
there.
One also needs to consider the magic of the holiest river in India,
the Ganga.
Although the river is heavily polluted in a number of spots, there is
an unknown factor (science cannot explain) as to how the Ganga heals
itself. We think its the faith of thousands of people who come and bathe
into the river each day; their beliefs of the water being holy and that
it is not only pure but has the power to purify them!
Do you know any other benefits of rain water? Do you think the health
benefits of rainwater could be the reason that its collection was/is
banned by some states in the USA?
