EBB AND FLOW: CONNECT WITH THE PATTERNS AND POWER OF WATER
Our strength lies in being soft like water. This book is about the power we gain by connecting to water. It’s about how we can restore our relationship with the world’s different bodies of water, and by doing so, restore both the water and ourselves. By sharing Easkey’s own experiences as surfer and marine scientist, as well as those of many of her mentors who are at the forefront of water protection and activism around the world, it guides readers into reimagining the spirituality of water and restoring our innate connection with this lifeblood of the planet.
The book also provides the reader with water-inspired strategies to restore calm, reduce stress and soothe anxiety ranging from simple breathing and visualisation exercises to undertaking a journey from a water source to the ocean in order to forge a deep connection with the water. The emphasis is as much on the benefit to water as it is to the individual, and on creating a culture of reciprocity and care. By regaining this lost connection with water, we learn to develop an empathic connection with the force of all life and in the process restore our own hearts and minds.
