Water is a kind of mystery; in its pure form, it is transparent, tasteless, odorless, and almost colorless. It can be tough or gentle, hard or soft, and it keeps things floating and flowing.
It harbors many life forms and covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, where seas and oceans make up most of the water volume (about 97%), the remaining 3% filling up rivers, lakes, creeks, ponds, and underground cavities.
Water exists on Earth as a solid, a liquid, and a gas. We find it as rain, ice, snow, fog, steam, and water vapor. Water is omnipresent.
Moreover, the human body contains between 50% to 80% water, depending on body size, and it is crucial for proper functioning of our organism. In fact, human life starts and grows in water, until the “water breaks” and we are born.

Water plays an incredibly important role in human lives. We drink it to hydrate our bodies, we use it for agriculture, it gives refuge to the fish we consume as food, we use it to transport things (canals, lakes, rivers, the sea), for industrial use, for sports and leisure — swimming, boating, surfing, diving, ice skating, skiing, and so on — to heat or cool environments, to cleanse or detoxify ourselves, we use it as a solvent, and we cook with it. The applications are manifold.
In addition, we use water for a whole range of relaxing and therapeutic exercises and treatments in massage, bodywork, and herbal practices.
Water. It’s something, isn’t it?
