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.

Prosperity Consciousness

  • Posted on December 6, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Prosperity ConsciousnessProsperity Consciousness is something that I have struggled with all my life.  I am just now beginning to fully understand how my subconscious mapping fully affects how I project my intention out in the Universe.  I think this is how a lot of us go wrong in with our manifestations. We don’t take into account our old programming and adjust for it.

I have been reading avidly about neuroplasticity and how conditioning literally shapes how we think, feel and interact in the world. 

The good news is that the human brain is plastic, meaning it can be retrained and remapped.  The other side of that is the more an action or thought process is repeated the harder it is to remap the brain for something different.  That doesn’t mean that we can’t relearn and remap and recondition the brain even though are patterns are well-grooved.  It just means that it takes extra  focus, repetition and a whole lot more  reprogramming.  With hard work bad habits, negative thought processes and intentions can be transplanted with positive ones. 

I think neuroplasticity and conditioning is an integral key to Prosperity Consciousness.  If we can find those subconsciousness triggers that trip up or intention then there is more of an aptitude to change it and replace it with a more positive intention that will bring us the prosperity we deserve and that is rightfully ours.  The Universe wants to give us prosperity and more fulfilling life.  It is our source for everything we require.

However, I believe that we tend to be our own worst enemies because we don’t take the time to delve into the vast, deep ocean of self-awareness.  I think if we really looked at ourselves with an emotional objectivity we would find that our triggers were stuffed away like the corpses in Bluebeard’s closet. Most of us don’t want to take the time to do the work.  We want instant gratification putting our intentions out into the world and receiving what we desire with a shiny, red bow on top.

I know that I struggle with facing my true self – the light and the dark.  From years of therapy, study, meditation and new age practices I believe that I have a better understanding of myself than most because I have done the work.  Still, I have just skimmed the surface.  I have fallen more than most.  I have made my fair share of mistakes.  With each journey I have found more pieces of myself and I have tried to learn the lessons.  Taking it a step further I have successfully remapped portions of my brain.  There are anxieties and thought processes that I have definately squashed replacing them with more healthy, successful way of dealing with issues in my life.

Prosperity Consciousness is tricky though. It has so much to do with what we believe about our self-worth and how we were conditioned to think about money.  I know that I am earnest with my prosperity affirmations.  At the time I know that I have faith in the Universe and I believe that it wants to give me what I deserve.  However, when it comes down to it I was raised with a certain set of preconceived notions about wealth and how they affect the world.  I question whether I want to be the typical stereotype of what a wealthy person represents in my head.  Most of the wealthy people in my existence have been cold, spiritually-void, selfish individuals who use money as a tool for manipulation.  I never ever want to be that. 

So, even though my intentions are pure at the time I put them out in the world, my subconscious preconceived notions are working against me.  Inevitably, I will self-sabotage myself moneywithout even realizing that I am doing it.  The reason is not in my intention but in my subsconscious conditioning.  My past experiences tell me that all wealthy people are self-serving, manipulative snobs.  Therefore, my brain mapping is not conducive to Prosperity Consciousness.

For me, I know that the secret to my Prosperity Consciousness is to reprogram my brain to associate wealth with happiness.  I need to find positive role models who are doing spiritual work and are filthy rich.  I need to study their works and remap my brain in a manner where I believe that you can be spiritual, giving, love and yes, VERY WEALTHY. 

I believe this is why vision boards are so important.  By looking at what we require from the Universe to be our most happy, healthy and successful selves, we are bridging our conscious desires and our subconscious programming.  We are effectively remapping our brains.

I am a writer and so my vision board is a little bit different. I have note cards with goals written on them and they are clustered together like the inspiration bubbles I used to have to write out in English class.  Eventually, I am going to incorporate pictures on my vision board to go along with the note cards but I like the idea of my note card floating around in the Universe like little bubbles of limitless possibilities.

My vision board is placed on the wall in front of my bed.  That way when I wake up in the morning it’s the first thing I see.  I walk by it and read my note cards. Sometimes I add new ones and take down others. Sometimes I re-shift them and imaging that the same motion is working in my brain.  That I am shifting my consciousness by remapping my subconscious. 

Lately, I have been saying outloud, “The Universe is the source of all that I require for prosperity.  I am remapping my brain to accept the prosperity I truly deserve.”  Then I ask the Universe, “Universe, how have you brought me the Prosperity I require?” And after that I thank the Universe for giving me the prosperity I require and being so generous with me.

Last night, I dreamed that I was shifting parts of myself around.  I was re-cataloguing the thoughts in my brain.  So, I believe that my Prosperity Consciousness is slowly but surely becoming one of positive intention.  One that will bridge with my positive conscious intentions.

I have noticed since I have had a consciousness awareness of the reprogramming that I must do in order to bridge my conscious intentions and my subconscious conditioning, life has been more easy.  Money comes to me easier.  I just happen to have the exact amount of money I need to pay off a bill. I have more faith in the process and in the Universe.

I am not fully intermingled into a perfect balance of conscious desire and subconscious intention but I am working on it.  I am being brave, looking in the mirror and facing my demons. I am actively becoming more self-aware. I am focused and reprogramming. 

Soon my Prosperity Consciousness will be where it should have been along. I will let you know when I make my first million.  It should be anytime now…
