We are well aware of the benefits of water for our health. Hydrates, maintains the balance of minerals in our body, gives us vitality and preserves our youth. All this is achieved by this liquid, a fundamental element in our lives and of which we must make abundant use, but without excess. Water is also a symbol of purity and harmony, but what we did not know is that it can also help us to be more relaxed, more concentrated, to find balance and eliminate stress.
Water for relaxation
And it is that water has been used since ancient times to calm physical and mental illnesses. The ancient spas (and the modern ones) attracted their clients thanks to the beneficial properties of the thermal waters, which healed both the diseases of the body and those of the soul.
Because water is still one of the elements of nature that can help us find well-being the most. And lovers of relaxation techniques know how good it feels for a moment of anxiety to go near a river, a lake or a fountain and listen to the calming sound of the water.
Thus, these small sources of Zen inspiration have become so fashionable that you can place them in your living room as another decorative object while you relax listening to the sound of falling water. A luxury within the reach of anyone that can help us calm those moments of stress and provide us with peace of mind.
The glass of water technique
But we have found a technique to combat stress whose main element is a glass of water that has caught our attention. We have to warn that although at first it seems more magical than spiritual, the technique uses only our ability to concentrate, without the need for spells.
The technique consists of filling a glass with water. When we go to bed we will close our eyes thinking about a specific problem or the general stress we have and we decide that we are going to solve it. Thus, with this proposal to ourselves that we are going to find the solution, we will drink half a glass of water and we can sleep.
When we wake up, we will drink the water that remains in the glass, repeating to ourselves that we will find the solution and, those who have tried this technique, assure that stress decreases considerably due to the strength of our conviction. It seems that more than magic, it is our fully concentrated mind, helped by the water, which makes us relax.
