Cozumel

On the Carribean coast of Yucatan, Mexico, you find an island with a very magical energy and an sacred heritage: Cozumel!
Since ancient times it is a destiny for (mayan) pilgrims, canoeing from the mainland to visit Ix Chel and her tempels. She is the female goddess of the island, which embodies fertility and connection with all aspects of nature.

Here you encounter a particular transparent and turquoise water which is calm like a mirror, most of the days, soft like silk and warm as the Carribean Sun.
There is a stunning underwater world to discover with a vibrant marine life and vast coral constellations along a wall into the Deep Blue!
The current normally carries you gentle and effortless towards the diving boats which are picking you up wherever you ascend.

Its a priviledge to dive down here.

Chinese Medizin

Let me tell you something about Chinese Medizin and its relation to the Element of Water.
Chinese Medizin has 5 elements which represent our world. The water contains our actual origin, the emotional legacy our ancestors and their fears, hidden dramas and projections but also the love and care they gave.

It carries our own traumas and unresolved experiences, specially from early childhood, when our body system stored them, overwhelmed in capacity, deep down in our subconscious. For that we could keep on going and functioning.
We pay the price in partially blocked energies and a system which is busy with holding down aspects of ourselves. It is the sense of therapies to bring these parts back into our consciousness, in a safe and managable way.

To free these energies back into our life.

The amount of core energy we carry from birth, is individual limited and stored as a precious essence in our kidneys, which are related to the water element.
When we try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, not overexhausting our natural reservoirs and aiming to unlock our hidden potentials, we can generate a lot of power, Well Being and ultimately prevent illnesses.

The Subconscious

In the moment we go diving and the pressure changes it feels like sinking down in our own deep and subconcious mind. Something is happening. Often subtil, almost imperceptibly but the transformation is undeniable.
More then 90% of our consciousness is subconscious!! What a potential!!
The change happens by itself. That´s the power of Water. Its Magic!!

Little different is the situation for people with specific anxieties (of water). The triggers already showing up screaming: Here! I am! Look at me!!
These strong reactions are often rooted in very early stages of our development, when we had to face situations, which felt like life threatening.
The Process of Birth is very related to the subject of aquaphobia.

When we confront these fears in a patient and respectfull step by step process, it can create life changing breakthroughs. And yes, it is challenging but it is definetely worth the effort!!!

The Cleaning

Very well known by everyone is the refreshing, rebirthing power of water. Immersion releases you not only emotionally, it discharges the energetic body field, empties your mind and the salt ions are literally cleaning the complete system. You emerge out of the water puriefied!!
In diving all those effects are amplified due to the total surrounding of dense water and the absorbtion into the deep realm of the under water world.

The Opening

Another important quality of water is its expansive, field widening force. Specially for autistic tendenzies, which are developing more and more in western lifestyle, it is a true blessing to dive. After some dives, the walls of the self opens up and the field emerges with the surrounding super liquid.
A self centered perspective can change into the OneNess(y) Feeling, where you go back in a natural receptive connection with your environment.

The Meditation

And when you want to dive even deeper, you can become an observer, for every single moment, overfloated by wonder, suprisingly passing by and you start loosing yourself into the Blue Soul State.

Water has a very multiplying and intensifying effect. Everything down there is more present.
