Aquamantra Water:Inspiration in a Bottle.

  • Posted on February 1, 2010 at 3:31 pm

The boyfriend drinks his "I am Lucky" water from Aquamantra. He needs a little bit of luck since he is looking for a job.

The one thing about social media is that you never know with whom you are connecting with.  Being a writer I spend a lot of time alone on my laptop only to emerge for the necessities like eating, sleeping and bathing.  There have been times when my boyfriend and I have been in the same room and haven’t spoken to one another for hours.  It’s not for love or a lack of communication.  It’s more that we seem to free- float in our own little cerebral bubbles. I’m a Pisces, he’s an Aquarius.  Mine is comprised of strung-together idealistic tendencies while his is centered around eccentric inquisition.  We are both fueled by our own idiosyncrasies until reality throws us a wrench and we have to do things like make dinner and buy toilet paper.  It’s during those times that the hamsters turning our prospective wheels dialogue about the inner-workings our Utopia.  It is a wonder we even get along with the perils of self-centered artistic paralysis swimming through our veins. But alas, the world turns and thankfully we don’t take anything seriously enough to pollute the humanity with our narcissism. Only our living room.

So, being that I live the life of a self-important artiste’ (the off spelling and accent mark stay because it encompasses all that is trite and pretentious about my statement) I am often fascinated when others are touched by my musings in this blog or on Examiner page.  Besides the barrage of hate mails and insidious comments that infiltrate my email and comments sections,  I forget that there are normal people out there with souls.  I don’t just attract the misanthropic ill-reputes of the world.  Not everyone I encounter on the Internet is socially and mentally deranged or  has their head up their…Well, you get the point. 

With that in mind, I was pleasantly suprised and endeared when I received a comment on my blog from Alexandra Teklak, creator of Aquamantra, praising my last post.  I have to tell you that I stared at the email for a good long while before answering it just to make sure that my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me.   I mean, what are the odds that I drink the “I am Lucky” water and through my new good fortune the woman responsible for making the product contacts me?  That’s pretty frackin’ lucky, right? 

Well, my luck didn’t stop there.  Alexandra asked for my address and sent me a mixed case of water to thank me for the post.  When I got the box I was super excited and opened it up at my mom’s house since most of my family buy and carry around the Aquamantra water on a daily basis.  The boyfriend jokes with me that I have turned into the “Snapple Lady” of Aquamantra since I am so outspoken about the product and have converted my family into Aquamantra addicts.  The Snapple Lady made waaaay more money during the tenure of that ad campaign than I have made in my entire life.  She is one very successful vixen.  So, kudos to the comparison.

At my mom’s house, I gave away my some of my booty of Aquamantra water to my mom, my sister, my boyfriend, and my mom’s best friend.  They each took water with mantras they are are currently working with. 

My nephew holding up some of his mini bottles of Aquamantra water. Look he's smiling.

Included in the box were some mini water bottles which were specifically for my nephew for school.  He wasn’t at my mom’s house when the loot came in the mail. So, I gave them to him at my apartment.   I don’t know if he was more excited to get the water or that he was mentioned in my blog.   But in either case he was happy for the attention and even let me take a picture of him smiling (which is a feat all unto itself.)

My hope is that he will drink the intention-enhanced water and apply some of the meaning in his life.  The concept of positive intention is hard for most adults to grasp because of the conditioning and the tedium of everday life.  There are times (like this week) I have to fight hard to maintain an semblance of optimism.  I can only imagine what high school is like nowadays. 

Fortunately, I am old enough to have scrubbed most memories of the dreaded hormone-fueled insanity of teenage years from my brain.  My mother assures me that I was horrible. She is still traumatized, and I am sure that my own son will put me in an equal hell.  He, after all, is a willful ball of unbridled spirit much like I was at his age.

But the difference will be that I have infused him with a bit of the metaphysical.  At least as much as I can integrate into conversations about Legos, video games and remote control cars.  When he comes to visit me he is surrounded by vision boards and tarot cards and Aquamantra water.  He believes he is psychic and regularly tells me so.   We even play ESP games.  He believes in ghosts and is sure sometimes that he sees them.  My son will be different than me because he already has learned faith and bypassed the cavern known as “self doubt”. 

My nephew has not been so lucky.  There were situations in his life which were not his fault and unavoidable.  My sister is a good mother, though, and she is helping him reinvent himself with a  more positive self image.  A truer version of himself.  Even though it seems cheesy and a bit “infomerical-esque” (Is that a word?) I really do believe that intention-enhanced water (Aquamantra) plays a part in his healing.  There is no better way to remap your brain than to constantly remind yourself of your awesomeness. 

In my next care package I am going to send my son an “I am Loved” and “I am Grateful” water.   The first so that he is constantly reminded that I think of him always even though we live 500 miles apart.  The second so that he learns to have gratitude for the prosperity and abundance in his life.  It’s never to early to be gently instructed in those lessons. 

Right now, as I write this, I am working on a bottle ”I am Grateful” water that I started yesterday evening.  Mine has a hint of  clove around the edge because of the Burt’s Bees lip balm I am wearing.  It’s actually quite refreshing.  The reason I am drinking it is because I need to reminded of the goodness in my life.  Lessons are not only for children…

Lucky Water and Prosperity Affirmations

  • Posted on January 23, 2010 at 9:10 pm

I’m not big on most cheesy holistic or new age products with positive mantras on them.  It’s not my style.  While I do meditate and recite  afformations and affirmations I like to make my own. I have 3×5 cards on my vision board with my own personal messages on them  that resonate and speak directly to me.  My vision board is between my card-table-desk and the fridge so I walk by it every time I go into the kitchen.  It’s effective – feed my body, feed my mind.  However, I had an experience that changed my mind – at least a little bit.  I am not sure if I am more open to positive-thinking products as a whole.  Or if I have just stumbled on some really great ones recently.

A couple of weeks ago I was at the  grocery store walking down the beverage aisle and I spotted the Aquamantra water bottles.  There was something about the simplicity of the packaging that really spoke to me and decided to buy one.   I had three mantras to choose from, “I am Healthy”, “I am Loved”, and “I am Lucky.”  Since I am actively reprogramming my mind for prosperity consciousness, I figured the “I am Lucky” mantra would work well. 

According to the label on the bottle the water is enhanced with the energy of luck. With every sip you are supossed to recite the words, “I am lucky” – On the side of the bottle are the words, “I have always bee lucky.”   So, for added bonus luck I recited both mantras together.

I have to say that I did start to feel lucky everytime I took a sip.  I resonated with the look of the label and the clearness of the plastic bottle.  I came to really love my “lucky” piece of plastic.  I loved it so much that when I drank the “lucky” water I refilled it with new distilled water.  I decided that any water that was put in the “lucky” water bottle would be enhanced with the same lucky energy.  I refilled it a few more times and carried with me always.

My sister started gravitating toward the bottle and I ended up buying her  one because she was planning on stealing mine.  She loves her “lucky” water bottle (probably more than me) and puts it by her bedside refilling it with distilled water  as it runs out.  My bottle was so popular that my nephew decided he wanted it.  It made him feel good to have it on him so I gave it to him.  He’s fourteen and going through puberty.  He needs a lot more luck than I do.  Puberty can be brutal. 

The Aquamantra water bottle  is only supossed to be used once.  I don’t think that they  intended for future, repetitive use.  However, they are durable and they don’t leave a plastic taste in the water if you reuse them.  

Next time I go to the grocery store I am definately getting a new lucky bottle.  I don’t know why the Aquamantra water bottles are so attractive.  I still haven’t figured it out, but they do seem to present a reflective positivity that  makes you want to keep drinking the water.   Without a doubt, I can say that I do feel more lucky.  A lot of positive things are happening to me and around me.  A bit of kizmet that feels well…lucky.  Perhaps it was the power of suggestions or the power of belief but I can honestly say that the “lucky water” did its job. Viva Aquamantra!

  Oh, and if you haven’t read about afformations yet, you definately should.  It’s a great alternative to affirmations.  I use both.
