Water exists in three states, as well as solid, liquid and gas. This trinity of water seems to take on a divine essence. 80 % of a human is made of water and, to our current knowledge, we should drink at least three liters of water a day. We can stay breathless under water for about three minutes. Many respiratory, skin, heart, gynaecological and movement diseases are treated in spas or by the sea. When a person is stressed, it helps to drink fluids, or take a shower or bath. Today, special water massages and watsu therapies are also sought after, which evoke a transcendental experience. Women give birth in water more frequently, sometimes in the presence of dolphins. Although, there is less drinking water, melting glaciers are raising ocean levels due to the rising heat. The water temperatures are rising, and rising so quickly that aquatic habitats and coral reefs cannot adapt to it and die. Believers visit places of pilgrimage where there are miraculous healing waters. The main problem for pilgrims is obtaining adequate water supplies, without water they will not survive more than 72 hours without harm to health. We are currently witnessing – allegedly – the greatest drought in the last 500 years. Water appears in all mythologies, dreams and interpretations as an element symbolizing life, feelings and a certain kind of infinity. When probes are sent into space, they search for water on the planets; water is the hope that life might arise there, or the possibility that life was there.
