There was a woman called Kathleen from Austin,
Texas in the States among the people who attended my seminar
in Zaragoza on July 24th and the ceremony for water on 25th
in Cerler (the woman in the picture below).

She has been traveling all over the world and
writing over a year and she is very spiritual also. I’d like
to share the message from her about two events that she attended.
WE
ARE WATER!
i can't tell you how many dreams came true in two days,muchas,muchas!
On the train ride from Barcelona, I had a thought, this is it!
The part of the journey to see Dr. Emoto, who I have followed
his work and loved it for years. It has felt like a big part
of my mission in life and i thought who knows, maybe this whole
journey is to just meet someone on the train and give them a
smile or some kind words. I chuckled at the question, do we
ever really know why we feel called to go certain places and
meet certain people, do we really know what our mission is?
Do we just make it all up anyway?
Not ten minutes later, a man and his wife walked
on the train in Barcelona before we embarked. Suddenly the man
began convulsing uncontrollably and his wife was screaming.
I called out "medico por favor, medico!" and then
a train attendant came on and i yelled "telefono emergencia!
emergencia!" there was no doctor around, so some men helped
lay him down and I just knew to go to him and put my hand on
his front and back around his heart and send him white light.
He was still convulsing. His wife said he was not a diabetic
and he didn't have epilepsy. I thought, he is having a stroke.
she was so distraught it was hard to under-stand her.
The train attendant loosened his pants and tried
to give him something to drink and sugar and he wouldn't take
it. I started saying to him,"todo es bien, tu es ok, tu
hay angeles y dios es con tu", and I just kept repeating
it that he was going to be alright and he had angels and god
was with him right now, all was well. He began to close his
eyes and go unconscious. i started doing massage pinches on
his ears and he tried to push away and I rubbed some ice on
his lips. He was fighting this a little bit which i thought was
good because he was staying alert and he was starting to relax
and breath and make eye contact. I rubbed his head and his forearm
which are some of the most comforting places to rub someone
and then rocked him gently on his stern ham, the bone in the
center of the chest. it took about 15minutes which seemed like
an eternity and some people came and put him in a wheelchair.
he looked more alert and was sitting up seemingly ok and they
whooshed him.
The other two men who assisted and I just looked
at each other airwards with a huge sigh and wow relief! And
we said in Spanish,” it looks like he was more alert when he
le and is going to be ok". I said, "thank god we could
assist". I sat back in my chair feeling so much energy
in my body and the man's sweat all over my hands. I said thank
you god for guiding me to be here and to be able to assist.
i felt such gratefulness and an honor to know that i had something
to give, there was no doubt, it was an instinct and then an
opening.
The reason I tell you this is not to brag, but to share, that
like on that train, I looked around and no one else was responding.
I knew to go, and I believe we all have these places in our
lives that call us like an instinct, a true knowing and we must
go. To tell you about myself, I have no official training in
reiki, I’ve experienced many sessions and I know the premise
and I’m willing and I can feel it. I’ve given many massages,
some have said the best they've ever had and I have no training.
I know through the years about myself I can be calm and take
action in an emergency situation.
Again I say this because the reason I created
the website getyourdreamon.com, embracing technology, ha! Not
my natural area, was to for real, have a big worldwide conversation
for what would our world be like if all of our dreams came true.
We all are important. no one is greater or lesser than the other
and what if we really lived this way in all of our relations.
No one can do or be who we are, the unique us who has only the
gis we have to give. To acknowledge those in us, see them in
others, value and encourage each of our gis to grow.
To be for our dreams do matter, they are not
just the icing on the cake, a luxury, they are why we came here.
So I arrived in Zaragosa, a beautiful train ride,
I had forgotten how much I love to travel by train. I think
it's my favorite way. And I had a reservation at the san gorge
hotel, muy barrato, that is it was very cheap, I’m on a major
budget for my yearlong journey. At the train station I asked
a woman the best way into the center of Zaragosa and a good
hotel, not very expensive? She said "san gorge hotel",
alright divine confirmation, the city has 850,000people, so what
are the odds she'd say the same hotel?!
I went by taxi and it was two blocks away from
the tribuna del aqua that evening. I went to the teatro ceasar
augusto at 7 thinking it started at 7:30, no they said it starts
at 9:30 tonight. So I wondered around the center of the town
and saw a big demonstration with many people, mostly men, in
orange vests protesting gm general motors moving its car manufacturing
plant to a nearby smaller town taking jobs away from Zaragosa.
About 9 I returned to the teatro and the line
to get in was 1 block long. I got in que and talked to many
people and they were blown away that I came from Austin, Texas,
Estados Unitos. I was asking them how the water was in the towns
that they lived in, and the resounding response was not very
good. A man came and said "only one hundred people will
be able to come in, you all may or may not get in...".
I immediately split to the front; I know I’m supposed to be
in there. And thank goodness for my many a year rock-n-roll
concert going honorary doctorate degree in party. When there's
a show you know you totally want to go to, there is a way in!
I’ve never been stopped, front door, back door,
side door, one way or another. Even at one carnival one year
in Austin, it was sold out. Trying to sneak in, I was pulled
out by my hair, by a woman ticket taker at the door. My friends
said, well I guess the magic doesn't always.....and before they
finished their sentence i spun around, whisked by the door woman
and was in a Congo line dancing in no time. it's simple psychology,
no one expects you to go again once you get caught.
I went to the front of the line and said,"hey
I came all the way from Austin, Texas" and they said "ok,
come on in!" they had headphones for translations in Spanish
and French, no English as Dr. Emoto would be speaking Japanese.
I took the Spanish ones. It was a beautiful museo. Walking in
with the floor of glass with roman ruins beneath it. The teatro
was open air on the sides with buckminster fuller's geodesic
metal structure holding a glass ceiling above. My feng shui
background said this is perfect feng shui! The metal element
makes water, perfecto setting! And I had a feeling we were all
getting ready to bust through the glass ceiling with this presentation.
I went around asking people, do you know Carles
torrent? He was the person who corresponded by email to tell
me all of the details. And after about five people, I met him.
he said "no problem, come to our hotel, we'll take you
to Cerler, Spain tomorrow for the 5th annual love and thanks
to water ceremony with Dr.Emoto and friends". He said he
had never been there, but it was about a three-hour ride.
Then on came dr. Emoto for the evening's presentation.
There were children clustered up front, which I was so happy
to see. Also, there were many people who didn't get in and were
standing outside surrounding the theatre, and they didn't have
the translation headphones. It was a free event and the coordinators
had no idea this many people would come. I was sad to see some
people were called and didn't get in.
He began with: WE ARE WATER...and then showed
a chart of how a human baby embryo is 96%water, a person of
20 years old is 80%, 40 years old is 70% and at65 years old
50% water and then even less as we get older. He said: WE ARE
WATER AND THERE ARE MESSAGES IN THE WATER TO US FROM GOD.
I interpreted that as literally we can go out
to streams of springs and lakes and oceans and hear a message
and we hear it from each other.
Then he played a film of a picture of a water crystal growing
to music. It was Maria callas singing Madame Butterfly turned
up loud. Side note here: one of my dreams has been to see Madame
Butterfly performed in the best place ever. I thought maybe the
Sidney Australia opera house or maybe in Venice, Italy. But
as I saw it here, I knew this was the ultimate beyond my wildest
Dreams come true! I always loved Maria Callas's
performance the best and now to see how water actually reacts,
actually grow to music. I wept and the tears flowed and flowed
in a huge knowing beyond what I could ever even imagine.
it was bright light water snowflakes dancing to
music, the parts that we all are, as we are water, seeing it
in crystal agua beauty on the big screen and hearing it. The
ideas I had for my book finally gelled. I really didn't know
for sure if the concepts I was inspired to explore actually
related: indigenous wisdom, water, and music for world peace.
And I saw from this they do...intimately and it's science and
it's natural law design splendor.
i just got the piece of the puzzle that connected the water
to music and my conclusion was that this knowledge could be
used to create peace in the world. I was fairly certain that
indigenous people had known this for eons and looked forward
to meeting people in the next year that actually lived this
in their daily lives and rituals.
Then he played Beethoven’s 5th symphony and we
saw the crystals growing to the music on the screen. Each song
had a unique water crystal growth design. it was unquestionable
that the music literally created, formed the water shape and
it was marvelous. Well it only got better; I guess they recorded
it before. A crystal growing to edelweiss and Dr. Emoto sang
it live and we all sang along and i cried again to my depths
from the heart opening sweet song:
Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet
me Small and white, clean and bright You look happy to meet
me Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever
It was one of the most moving moments of my life. Now I knew
what I had thought many years before, that music creates on
a higher more loving frequency and I knew truly world peace
was possible, only a dream hours before, with music. And I knew
who I wanted to be at 6 years old, a singing nurse, that we
are all singing nurses in what we say to each other and the
intentions we hold for each other and our wonderful planet.
Then Dr. Emoto went into the idea of love and gratitude. It
is his theory that these two complete a circuit, circle of creation.
Love is water, yin, receiving and gratitude is fire, yang, giving.
IF WE TREAT EACH OTHER WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE AND TREAT THE
WATER AND THE WORLD AROUND US IN LOVE AND GRATITUDE, we have
the potential to be our highest. Then he went on to show the
famous picture of Albert Einstein sticking his big ole tongue
out and one thing Albert said which i have always loved and
lived by is, imagination is more important than knowledge.
Dr. Emoto referenced Einstein in his most famous
physics equation e=mc2.and he interpreted it as: e~energy =m~mass
of people c2~ light, the height of consciousness that is in
real terms, the existence around us will elevate, change, transform
when a gathering of people with a certain conscious-ness will
create it.

he was invited to present at the united nations
two years ago, and his plan for word peace was for 600,000 books
to be given to children with these ideas that our words and
music make the water and hence they can create with their words
and song the world that they want to live in. that it's not
even a mystical thing, but a reality individually and collectively.
Then he had some metal tuning forks, which he
hit in different chord tones to demonstrate harmonic chords
as creative and no harmonic chords as destructive. He went on
to show many of the crystals that had been formed when they
put words on the water such as:

The song "imagine" by John Lennon
You fool. Water from polluted Fujiwara dam, Japan then above
photo, same water after offering a prayer

Love and thanks
There is an international love and thanks to
water organization (www.thank-water.net)
coordinating these ceremonies all over the world. They take
a sample of the water before and after to show scientifically
that the simple act of gathering with people and sending love
and gratitude to water is making a difference to bring the water
back to being clean and thriving again, it's highest natural
state. The power of prayer is made visible in showing that living
water forms the most beautiful crystal structures.
The next day I rode with Carles, his girlfriend
Maria and a lovely woman with distinctive white curly hair,
Rosa; to Cerler, the highest mountains in the Spanish Aragon
Pyrenees. Rosa started the organization, amigos of Dr. Emoto
in Spain. It was a three-hour ride, so we all got to share much
in our conversations. My poco con loco Espanol, and their minimal
English, except for Carles was the driver and translator extraordinaire.
I knew I was with kindred spirits who had chosen
to create in the world in a way that would leave a better place
for the next generation. Rosa said she called and emailed Dr.
Emoto for two years before he came to Spain and then their amigos
group started growing. she said it's very simple,” if we are
not having an attitude of love and gratitude towards anything
or anyone, we are taking energy away from them, consciously
or unconsciously, or the converse of course, showing love and
gratitude, giving energy someone or I asked about Dr. Emoto's
United Nations plan and asked if he published these books yet
and they said no. I said, "Typical wood pulp paper production
is the major polluter of water everywhere. It would be good
if these books were made of something else".

Carles was interested initially in the work because
he makes sculptures of water. The next exhibit they have planned
are sculptures of crystals put on people and photography to
show the affects on the body and light and music projected into
the water to make shapes, I was blown away! I would love to
see this exhibition.
We arrived in Cerler to the edelweiss hotel!
Synchronicity! And we all had lunch and a chair was just open
and I got to sit with Dr.Emoto and his wife Kazutama. They were
kind and generous signing books for people. They both ordered
frankfurters. I wanted to ask if he could come to Austin for
our love our spring’s community ceremony this upcoming September,
but I could see that many people were requesting so much from
him. I thought, you know he's just a person; I’m just going
to relax and give him some breathing room to just be. I know
we all need that, no matter how dedicated we are. If the opportunity
arises, so it shall be.
I asked if they were excited to go on their vacation
to Mallorca, Spain. They said "oh yes, their daughter lives
in Amsterdam and she would be coming with their grandson,"
and both of their eyes light up. And I said "how did you
two meet, tell me the love story”. They said it was forty years
ago now, and they both worked at the same company in Tokyo and
well he said, "After much romance, we got married".
Dr. Emoto said there was no way he could do the
work he is doing without her. He said it all has to do with
her being there with him. Then I asked him about his program
for peace with the 600,000 books. What book material are you
thinking of using and he said hemp. i said "that's better
than wood paper pulp, of course, but have you heard of the books
that have been made by William McDonough and his book cradle
to cradle. They are made of post-consumer recycled plastic.
I am thinking of making my book out of this material".

William McDonough’s main idea in his book is,
there is no trash, no waste in nature, it is a closed circle
dynamic and we can make all of our processes the same way.
McDonough proposes, if we did have something
that would last longer and not go back to the earth, maybe it
would be books, and so he innovated this material. Dr. Emoto
said he didn't have a publisher yet for this project.
He asked me what I was doing, I said "traveling
around the world for a year and writing a book on indigenous
wisdom"; he asked someone to translate and he said,"oh
like shamans" and I said "yes that's part of it and
my other subjects are water and music as a way for world peace".
Both he and his wife said hai hai! Kind of excited which i think
means yes in Japanese.

He gave me his card and asked me to give him
my information and i wrote it all down with the love our springs
community ceremony info for this September 9,2007 and the book
material info as he had not heard of William McDonough. And
he said "oh your having a ceremony in September" and
I said "I know you have a very busy schedule", they
went over it earlier,” but if you could consider coming or maybe
next year". They had gone over their schedule it was filled
for next 6 weeks was mallorca, Arizona,

So a group of around fiy people came for the big
water celebration of the year. The 5th annual love and thanks
to water ceremony and we all drove about twenty minutes to the
waterfalls, cascadas del bom. They were stunning, high in the
mountains, two waterfalls that from a distance formed a v~shape
and both came down into the river Ebro. Which eventually meanders
down into the town of Zaragoza from where we came. By the time
it reached that area, some locales said it had become quite
polluted over the last 15 years, so it definitely needed some
love and thanks. The two waterfalls v~shape were significant
for me,

We gathered in a big circle and had a big bowl
of water from the river in the center of our group. People had
sent in pictures and prayers from all over the world for this
ceremony. Carles read them each out loud and then inserted them
into the water. One man who teaches aikido lead us all in some
movements and ohms. We all motioned with our hands and directed
our hands towards the water and in Spanish said amor y gracias
por agua! People spontaneously went into the middle of the circle
to say prayers or sing a song. Dr. Emoto announced that I had
come from Austin Texas, now that I think about it, I was the
only person that was from the U.S., and would I like to say
something. I was surprised.

I had nothing prepared and it seemed like all
of the prayers had already been said. So I asked everyone if
they knew the blackbird song by the Beatles and they nodded
yes. It was the song that had moved me the most at our first
love our springs community ceremony for Barton springs in Austin,
Texas in September of 2006. And everyone joined in: Blackbird
singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn
to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to
arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes
and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this
moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly into the light of the dark black
night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly into the light of the dark
black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings
and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this
moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
And I started crying at the end at how grateful I was to meet
all of these people to witness this amazing place and at how
there is no place like home, how much I truly love Barton springs.
Its the water of my home and my people and how sad I have been
lately at it seems the quality had been getting worse and how
I didn't know what I could do. Then I gave out an Indian loud
yell ay ya ya ya por aqua!!! Then we said a prayer over and
over with Dr.Emoto in Japanese and it was complete! In all of
our different languages and traditions blended and appreciated.

They took water samples from before and after,
so we shall see what the difference in the purity will be, hence
the crystalline structure. I knew in that moment, this is how
I would be a singing nurse to continue everywhere I go to give
love and thanks to the water and gather with others to heighten
the power of these ceremonies e=mc2 Einstein / Emoto /... style.

Then we hiked to the tallest waterfall and the
aikido teacher and students guided everyone to first be doused
with a wooden bucket with black Chinese letters on it and then
get under the waterfall and say the love and thanks prayer again.
It was a shield to become one with the cold water. It was cold
all right, I forgot to say the prayer this time and had to get
out from under the water-fall pretty soon. It was very shockingly
refreshing to say the least. And it felt like an amazingly blessed
moment with a rainbow just above everybody's heads in front
of the cascades del bom, the name from the "boom"
loud sound it made from it's over 40meters drop. The rainbow
stayed for over an hour during our.

I hadn't yet arranged a place to stay that evening
and someone heard and then the wonderful nieves walked up to
me and said I have a house in Cerler and you can stay there.
I said I would love to stay in this tranquil environment and
write for 5-7 days. She said "great! mi casa es tu casa".
We had a fun evening and dinner and talked about everything
under the sun and how this was one of the most perfect magical
days of each of our lives!
She went back to her home in Zaragoza the next
day and I jumped up and down at this was the sound of music
country, total nature heaven and tranquility, what a gi! I felt
like I was living the celestine prophesy live!!! Talk about
inspiration to write and contribute, a total angel stranger
just giving me her house to stay in. I was motivated by love
and an abundance of heart that is with me with each word I write.
This is what I’ll bring back to my community, love and thanks
to my family, friends and all of we are water.
We are water sing love and thanks we are water
love our parents we are water love our children we are water
give thanks and praise we are water amor y gracias we are water
let your hearts fountain flow in gratitude we are water sing
in the world's peace song we are water bless our hearts purify
our minds to the truth that is we are water give thanks and
love we are water let your heart be a child again we are water
rejoice in the river, the ocean we are water high on the mountain
top low 20,0oo leagues under the sea we are water listen to
the message in our water from god we are water let go hear your
water song sing we are water stone to hold leaf listen to god
sing to you in the stream hear it in the wind's song finned,
winged and four legged we are water sing we are water sing we
are water sing we are water drink in the cup with love we are
water spring forth in gratitude we are water forever sing by
