Water is an essential source of life for living things. Water constitutes more than 60% of your body, 90% of your blood, and 80 to 90% of your muscles. Without water to drink you would die within ten days or less, depending on your activity and temperature. So let water be your new image of your indispensable soul.
The next time you drink a glass of water, take a shower or bath, or watch it rain, prayerfully ponder water as a vital image of your soul. Consciously use water as a soul symbol, so that even a simple drink of water will become a moist prayer of remembrance of your inner self.
