Perpetual: Exploring the Consciousness of Water

Perpetual

To all my friends and followers,

As devastating fires rage across Southern California,  my heart is with everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy. I am blessed that my location is safe. May those affected find strength, safety, and hope in these challenging times. Let us all hold space for healing and extend love and support to our communities. Please take a minute of silence send love and vibrations of protection to this land and the people.

Sending healing energy. Stay safe, and take care of one another. 

Today I want to talk about Water,  has long been considered one of the most mysterious and life sustaining elements on Earth. Its presence connects all living beings, and its movements reflect the rhythm of life itself. In my recent watercolor seascape titled “Perpetual,” from my Fields and Waters Collection I sought to capture not only the physical beauty of water but also its deeper, spiritual significance.

This piece is inspired by the idea that water holds a consciousness a memory of ancient times, of whispered stories and forgotten wisdom and carries them forward in an endless cycle of movement and flow. Let’s dive deeper into the fascinating concept of water consciousness and the profound lessons it can teach us.


The Consciousness of Water

Scientists and spiritual seekers alike have explored the idea that water has a form of consciousness. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s groundbreaking work demonstrated how water crystals respond to thoughts, words, and vibrations. Through his experiments, he showed that positive intentions and harmonious sounds created beautiful, symmetrical crystals, while negative energy led to chaotic and fractured patterns. These findings suggest that water is not just a passive element but an active participant in the world around us, absorbing and reflecting the energy it encounters.

On a spiritual level, water is believed to hold memories, serving as a vessel for the energies and information of the past. Its perpetual flow symbolizes the continuity of life and the unbroken connection between generations. When we engage with water, whether through art, meditation, or simple observation, we tap into this ancient well of wisdom.


Ancient Knowledge and the Element of Water

Throughout history, water has been revered as a sacred element in many cultures. Ancient civilizations viewed it as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. From the holy rivers of India to the purification rituals of Indigenous peoples, water has always been a symbol of cleansing, renewal, and connection.

The idea that water retains information aligns with the belief that it carries the essence of the places it has traveled. Oceans, rivers, and rain carry the energy of the earth, the heavens, and all that they touch. This energy is imprinted within the water itself, forming an invisible record of the planet’s history.

When we look at the ocean’s waves, we are witnessing the heartbeat of the earth, a movement that has continued for millennia. These waves remind us of the cyclical nature of existence, birth, growth, and renewal and encourage us to reflect on our own connection to the world.


Water, Frequency, and the Power of Vibration

Everything in the universe vibrates, and water is a powerful medium for carrying vibrations. Sound waves, for example, travel four times faster in water than in air. This unique property makes water an extraordinary conductor of frequency and energy.

On a spiritual level, this means water can amplify intentions, healing energy, and meditative practices. By meditating near water or incorporating water into spiritual rituals, we can align ourselves with its natural frequencies, enhancing our connection to the universe.

Art, too, is a form of vibration. When I painted “Perpetual” I was mindful of the rhythm of my brushstrokes, the flow of the watercolors, and the energy I infused into the piece. My intention was to echo the movement and consciousness of water, creating a visual representation of its perpetual memory and wisdom.


Lessons from the Ocean

The ocean teaches us many lessons:

  • Resilience: Like water, we can adapt to obstacles, flowing around them and continuing forward.

  • Interconnection: Water reminds us that everything is connected. The drop of rain that falls today may become part of the ocean tomorrow.

  • Presence: The rhythm of the waves invites us to be present, to breathe with the tides and find calm within the chaos.

By contemplating these lessons, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. Water, with its ancient wisdom and ceaseless flow, encourages us to think beyond the surface and connect with the deeper currents of life.


My watercolor “Perpetual “ is more than a painting; it is a reflection on the spiritual and energetic essence of water. It invites viewers to consider the consciousness of this vital element and its role in our lives. Water carries the stories of the past and flows forward, offering us wisdom, healing, and connection. 

As part of your daily routine, consider taking a moment to bless your water before drinking it. Hold your glass with intention, close your eyes, and express gratitude for its life giving properties. You can set a positive affirmation such as, “May this water bring me peace, clarity, and energy.” Visualize the water absorbing your intentions, transforming it into a source of healing and positivity.

By engaging with water in this way, we honor its consciousness and deepen our relationship with this remarkable element. Like the waves of the ocean, let your thoughts flow freely, carrying you toward greater understanding and peace.

What does water mean to you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

If you missed my previous post here you can read the Story of this painting!
There is also something beautiful that I like to share about my work. Since I become a Usui Reiki Master I love to infuse my paintings with Reiki energy from the starting process when I begin to create to the end!  This specific painting has an amazing story that surprised me beyond my expectations! First let me tell you that I don’t plan any of my landscape paintings! I have created and mastered my own painting technique that is based on my intuition and energy while I let the colors and water blend together in a unique way on the paper.  I mostly use a painting knife for these paintings more than brushes! So it is almost impossible to anticipate the beautiful outcome! Each painting is unique and an amazing surprise for me! When I started this painting I connected first with my heart and with God purest light energy  to connect and activate the Reiki Universal energy force to infuse the painting while I was creating it! When I had finished, I observed the painting and I saw that beautiful yellow light in the middle coming from the sky! I couldn’t believe when I saw it!!! In my process I didn’t do anything to create it, the light just formed while the water and colors blended! I think the title “Divine Light”  couldn’t be more appropriate and true! I love this painting!

Sometimes I paint what  is created intuitively by my soul, I don’t know  the location but I am sure they are somewhere in the Universe.
When I paint without any reference is what I love the most it is a form of meditation where all is quite and calm,  I let my soul and intuition guide my brush strokes… the water and color freely blends together, taking precious shapes that become alive on the paper creating together the outcome I love.

Tears In The Fire

Tears In The Fire – Watercolor ©Carolina Russo

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a great start of the year!
I know lately I have been pretty quiet and didn’t post here on the Blog as much I’d like to. I took a break to recharge my creativity.  I didn’t know how to feel in this beginning of the year, there is so much going on in the world.

Today post is about the release of my new watercolor painting with the title Tears In The Fire this is my first painting of the 2020 and it is very special to me.
I feel so much sadness for the heartbreaking situation affecting Australia from months under the catastrophic wildfires that is destroying, animals, wildlife, natural habitats, and people.  Sidney University experts estimated that over 1 billion of animals has tragically perished it’s heartbreaking!

I gave the title Tears In The Fire because I can only imagine how much, tears, pain and suffering these beautiful animals are going through. My painting is dedicated to the wonderful Koalas 🐨 and to all the rescuers that are helping and caring daily for them to heal painful burnt paws and injuries and to all the other animals in desperate need of care surviving this horrific fire.

I hope that my painting can rise awareness and give a tiny contribution to support the wonderful Koalas and wildlife victims in this terrible time for them. I love all the animals and now they needs our help, together we can make a little difference in their recovery. Since I was a child I dream to one day being able to hold a lovely Koala in my arms! I hope I will one day! ♥️

Prints of my painting are now available for purchase as Open Edition signed and hand enhanced in size 5×7 and 8×10 inches please visit my >>  ETSY Shop
