31. WATER

Fluidity, shapeshifting, movement

Remember to be fluid and spontaneous.

This translucent liquid is a giver of life. Tasteless, odourless and mostly readily available, Water is something that can be taken for granted. However, Water sustains animal and plant life on earth and allows them to flourish. Water takes many forms: it flows in rivers, sits peacefully in lakes, moves in ocean waves and falls in raindrops from the sky. Water’s song is shapeshifting, taking on different appearances depending on its container. It is not fixed; rather, it is fluid and adaptable, considering its environment and acting accordingly.

Water teaches the importance of being fluid. It is human nature to assign labels to yourself and others, and act in a way that fits this image. However, as you go through life you will change and evolve. You may be blocking yourself from up-levelling by being too rigid and inflexible in your ways. By releasing your attachment to your identity, you will give yourself the grace to grow naturally. You can create more fluidity in your life by making fewer fixed plans for the future in order to open up space for you to make decisions that are best for you in that moment. Allow yourself the room to be spontaneous, saying 'yes' to things that appeal to you and 'no' to those that don’t. Water also reminds you to allow others space to be fluid and shapeshift too; check that you aren’t holding the reins too tightly on yourself as well as other people in your life. Be free flowing like Water.
