It is an essential part of our being, and that of the Planet. Coral reefs are likened to the rain forests of the sea. The rain forests are like the lungs of the planet, it breaths through the rain forests. Carbon dioxide is absorbed and Oxygen released, the opposite of what animals and humans do. If you look at pictures of rain forests in a certain way, they look like beautiful spiritual beings when reflected on water.
Coral performs a similar function in the ocean.
One of the ways is to recognise the fact that as we are both water and at the same time spirit, we need to replenish both aspects of ourselves frequently. We need to recharge our spiritual bodies with prayer, meditation and spiritual reading. Or we can get close to nature by gardening or walking in nature. We also need to drink plenty of water. Now we can pray and meditate to different levels and intent, and in the same way we can drink different qualities of water.
