This is an epic interview with Isabel Friend, International Water Advocate, public speaker, Reiki master, & teacher. Today we are talking all about Sacred Water. I was so excited when I came across Isabel's work, as Water has been showing up in my Akashic Record readings often, and one of the things that has very clear to me when I'm working with clients, particularly when I open up their Records around their health, is that there is an epidemic of dehydration... The topic of this episode is so critically important and relevant to every living being on this Earth that I really encourage you to sit in, even if you feel like you don't have an interest in water.
Quick disclaimer: Isabel is residing and calling in from beautiful Bali, and in Bali there is a plethora of roosters that love to sing so throughout the episode you're going to hear a lot of these beautiful rooster crows. Sometimes they can be quite loud so I encourage you to stick with it and stay for the entire interview because there is so much we cover!
We start off with looking at the best kinds of water to drink and filtration systems Isabel recommends, and the difference between wild living water and filtered water. Isabel shares her personal philosophy around water and why we need to begin to cultivate a different relationship and view of water as a whole well-rounded living being.
Isabel takes us on a magical journey of wild water... Do you know where your water comes from? Isabel is going to talk about that natural journey from the womb of Mother Earth rising to the surface and into your cells. We touch on the importance of drinking local wild water, how you can source wild water, the most important resource that Isabel wants you to know.
Beyond the health aspects of water and hydration, Isabel goes into the new biology of water looking at structured water, what that means, how do we get access to structured water, how do we create structured water, and why drinking unstructured bulk water is problematic for our health. We weave into the cosmic and esoteric aspects of water, and communion with water as a spiritual act that feeds our health on a very deep level. Isabel shares the origin stories that contain water from indigenous perspectives and the ways that humans have been communing with living water as a source of information, Divinity and tapping into the memory of the universe. So Yes - we talk about crystals, water scrying, hydromancy and working with water to tap into the answers of all of our greatest questions!
Of course, we also discuss the very real problems that we are seeing from our distorted relationship with the elements and with Mother Earth... Isabel talks about the political situation, privatization and accessibility issues around water, the water wars, and how we can step up as water guardians and embrace water activism in our daily lives.
I also share an Akashic Record reading on water that I channeled just before we hopped on the call for the interview - it's so beautiful to see all of the parallels that have been woven in throughout our discussion.

“Every one of us who is a body of us should be intimately involved in protecting water.” ~ Isabel Friend
“Either you get a filter or you become a filter.” ~ Isabel Friend
“It’s about shifting our relationship to the source of life and recognizing that the water we drink is the blood of Mother Earth. The water we drink is not the blood of our municipal plumbing system... the water we drink is not the blood of corporate bottling plants... The water we drink is the blood of Mother Earth and we are stewards of that blood stream. There is no difference between the water inside of us and the water outside of us.” ~ Isabel Friend
“We are water protecting herself. We are water stewarding life.” ~ Isabel Friend
“It’s up to every light worker and every activist to really step into the guardianship of water. Right now according to WHO 80% of disease is from lack of access to clean water... Denying poor ppl access to water by privatizing water and turning it into a capitalist commodity is an act of terrorism against life itself, and yet that’s what’s happening across the globe.” ~ Isabel Friend
Akashic Records on Water (channeled by Venessa Rodriguez):
Water is the ancient storyteller, the wisdom keeper that holds the ancient knowledge, the secrets, the threads that have been tucked away
Water is a energetic portal thru its crystalline structure
It is the earth’s veins, the element that connects the fabric of all life
It is the shape shifter, the transporter, the vessel, the medicine,
The cosmic messenger
The essence of everything
The ether made embodied
Akasha of the earth
I am the womb
The light
The breath
The blood
The flow of life depends on me
Feel my rivers thru your cavernous body
Carrier of whispers
No force can stop me
The truth of the cosmos
The key to your dna
The blueprint for the “new world” as you call it
The map of the world as it was
The medium for Love.
