2. Drink A Glass of Fresh Filtered Water
Hydration is key to feeling good. A simple glass of fresh filtered water can refresh and revitalize you. A secret tip from ancient wisdom is to wrap both palms around your glass or bottle so your finger tips touch on both sides forming a close circuit around it. Just simply say “Thank you water, I love you”. Have a deep breath a slowly drink at least five gulps. Positive words organise the water in a harmonious structure, benefiting our energy body positively.
