How to Create Sacred Water: A Guide to Rituals and Practices

"Offering a practical application for the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, this shamanic method enables us to take part in transforming our planet as well as our selves--for the health of Gaia and our own bodies is directly tied to the health of the waters that surround and are within us."--Branches of Light, October 2012

"[Ravenwood's] work is important in many ways, one of which is the generosity of her focus on healing the Earth--in contrast to our predisposition to focus only on ourselves. Implicit in her message is the truth that the water is us--that the health of the Earth's water is intimately connected with our own well-being, and that we are not separate from the Earth. With love and good humor, she brings us gently to a perspective that could go far in the healing of us all."--Metaguide, January 2013

NEW AGE / SPIRITUALITY "I love this book! I love Kathryn's writing style, her personal stories, her guided journeys, her beautiful pictures, and her concise directions on how to create a water altar and elixirs that can be used in the healing of the waters of the planet. I was deeply moved and inspired by the gifts within this book. Kathryn clearly shows us that spirit is alive and well and ready to work with us to help in planetary healing." --Sharlyn Hidalgo, author of The Healing Power of Trees When Hurricane Floyd ravaged the North Carolina coast in 1999, Kathryn Ravenwood--living thousands of miles away in Seattle--was called by Spirit to help heal the toxic waters left behind. Combining her longtime devotion to sacred altars with her newfound connection to crystals, she developed a process to make crystal homeopathic elixirs to cleanse bodies of water both near and far. Sharing her journey of spiritual calling and discovery, Ravenwood explains how to create crystal homeopathic elixirs using a sacred water altar and attuned crystals. Detailing how to create a personal altar in your home, the crystals most suitable for this work (such as amethyst and selenite), as well as how to program them with your healing intentions, she describes the month-long cycle--from full moon to full moon--of ritual and prayer at the core of the process that infuses the elixirs with their cleansing and healing powers. Ravenwood provides shamanic journey meditations based on Native American and Egyptian traditions to help you connect with ancient water spirits and guides and instill your water-healing work with sacred purpose. She explains how to ceremonially apply an elixir to a body of water and how the remedy will propagate outward to the ocean, bringing healing to the waters it spans as well as to the animals it encounters. Bringing spirituality into physicality and providing a practical application for the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, this hands-on shamanic method enables each of us to take part in transforming our planet as well as our selves--for the health of Gaia and our own bodies is directly tied to the health of the waters that surround and are within us. A renowned ceremonialist, shamanic guide, teacher, and a minister of the Universal Life Church, KATHRYN W. RAVENWOOD has studied in the Egyptian Mystery School tradition with Nicki Scully, Normandi Ellis, and Gloria Taylor Brown. An initiated member of the Lineage of Thoth and a certified teacher of Alchemical Healing, she lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
