Life is a series of streaming koan's.
So, once and for all, let's settle this one:
Whether it be half empty or full ...
Let's always give thanks for the CUP.
As for the ebb and flow - the rise and fall -
the come and go that affects us all, consider this:
Without spilling, drinking, tipping or sipping,
there is no room for NOW to fill you UP. C?
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Remember ~ the cup is YOU
~ Gratitude is the give and receive,
the drink and the pour,
a space for Love to be less IS more.
Ahhhhh ... refreshing, indeed!
***
Inside or outside yourself, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it.
~ Thaddeus Golas

Here are a few suggestions on ways to imbue your daily beverages with Gratitude:
1) Write 'Love and Gratitude', with a permanent marker on your favorite cup, mug, or glass. Each time you fill it, feel your energy flowing through, re-arranging the waters to serve your highest good. You may also choose to do this with your hot water heater, coffee pots, water jugs, your car battery (!) ... any container!
2) Print out the Chi energy accumulator image, laminate it, (or some other form of water-protection) and place beverage containers on it. You see,water's natural crystal pattern forms a hexagon, accumulating life force energy when placed on top of a hexagonal matrix based on the law of sympathetic resonance and harmonic vibration.

3) Share your method of blessing water with Love and
Gratitude: _________________________________

"Without spilling, drinking, tipping or sipping,

I like to hold the glass in my hands and thank it personally either silently or with a few words like "Thank you Ma..."
And by the way, Thank You, for pointing out the hexagon connection, the star of David. I hadn't really thought of that.
I will share some links on water energizing that I've been exploring in the Gathering forums.

I have been a potter my entire adult life and I love making cups. When I make them, I pour the contents of my thinking and my experience, and my skill into them. They become more than a cup. They can offer more than a drink. I am with this idea all the way.

I hold my hand over it and send healing Reiki Love energy into it with the intent that it is blessed as a healing tonic. Then I send my breath across it three times, sending love and gratitude into it, and I'm good to go!

Love this blog blessing water is so important. Another way of blessing water is by positive imagination. Put hands around you cup, glass, mug etc. and visualize love energy extending from your hands and fingers into your water. Imagine the energy as any type of color or shape and know that what you are seeing in your mind is what is happening to the water.
Bless

I bless all water in the silence of the morning and evening....you of course must be careful what you ask for, i once asked to over come all fears on my water cooler as i was working on my kidney chi, i of course came upon fear after fear, way to many in a row and got myself into a state....so now my intentions and words are clear like the water i drink...thank you to all for sharing, i learn so much on every visit to the gratitude site..x

I Am a commercial sheet metal worker and a couple years ago my union sent me to work a company that had the contract for the city of St Paul Minnesota's waste water facility which processes the waste water and pours it into the Mississippi River. On the inside of every piece of stainless steel I installed I inscribed
"Thanks,
Love and Gratitude"
Alongside the GoGratitude symbol as well. I had given the Messages From Water book to my supervisor. He Loved it. One day the water plant quality control people were looking at things and I gave one of them the book. The water quality control man stopped by again a week later and said he bought copies of it for some of his co-workers. I never thought I'd say it...but Reginald M Perrin would certainly have approved.

I use the Reiki energy/universal source energy to bless the water when I bathe. That it may not only cleanse, and uplift me, but that it also does so everywhere that water goes when it goes down the drain. So I imagine the Mississippi and eventually the golf of Mexico( and all points between) being cleaned, recharged and uplifted by my water.
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, receive and give. Love it!

I label all my liquids, water, milk, soft drinks etc.... with DIVINE LOVE as soon as I get them from shop. I also have labelled all my other containers with DIVINE LOVE, everything has a certain amount of moisture and its easy to put labels.

The more you fight something, the more anxious you become ---the more you're involved in a bad pattern, the more difficult it is to escape. Do you understand?

I love todays message about being the cup. I would like
to print out the Master Pyramid.
It was too light to show up.
The printing was fine and came
through.
Thanks and I am sending a check.
