The Winter is the Season in Chinese Medicine of the Water Element. Water is the most primordial element in creation. Baptism is done in water because immersion in water is symbolic of death and coming out of the water as a picture of resurrection life. The Ancient Chinese recognized this reality by naming one of the key Water Element Points, the “Gate of Life”. This point is situated between the 2nd and 3rd Lumbar Vertebrae at the level of the Kidney organ points. It is used to encourage and support the drive and will to live.
Water is intelligent. Genesis 1 tells us: ” “The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.” Gen 1:2 (NASB). This is the creation soup that light would come out of. The next verse says: “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” Gen 1:3 (NASB). The question hardly anyone asks is why did God’s Spirit hover over the waters before speaking light into existence?
Well I think science has given us a clue. Scientists have proven that water stores identity. A group of students took water out of a common container and when they used a dropper to place small drops on slides, the water assumed a unique shape for each student. No matter how many drops they squirted out, each drop remained the same for each student. The scientists demonstrated that water acts like a memory storage system which is alive and dynamic.

Masuro Emoto in Japan showed by freezing water after it had been exposed to various words that the water changed based on the words and this was captured in photographs. The word “Love” gives beautiful form: 
The word, “Kill” gives this crystal:

Now imagine in your mind’s eye, the Creation event when the Spirit of God is hovering over the water and He who is the Word, speaks Light, which is what He is and the water then records that purity of His Being!
The Apostle John wrote: “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” 1Jn 1:5 (NASB). So in a very deep and profound way God who is Light spoke Himself into the creation as the Source of Light and this was recorded in the Water.
All water is forever the same. Water can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted to gas or to liquid or to ice. When the gas, water vapor ascends into the sky and forms clouds, they rain it back to Earth. When the water freezes, it melts and becomes liquid again. Water is a constant, eternal. With this realization comes the thought that all water contains the memory of God Himself. It has since the beginning contained the thoughts of Light of God. Wow!
Now since our bodies are composed mostly of water, as well as we are birthed in water,and the Scripture tells us that living water can flow in our innermost being, then we are inseparably connected to God through water. John recorded Jesus who said: “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” Joh 7:38-39 (NKJV). The Holy Spirit, who hovered over the waters in the beginning, comes into our hearts when we receive and believe in Jesus and then flows in us as “living water”. This “living water” speaks to our hearts the eternal message of God. The cells of our body contain the Eternal sound of God spoken: “Light”!
In Chinese medicine this is expressed as primordial life energy. The Ancients intuited a depth of understanding that at the root of our health picture is this profound relationship to water. The organs of water are the bladder and kidneys and they are said to be related to our bone marrow. The bone marrow is the sea where blood is made, the carrier of life. The Bible tells us: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.” Lev 17:11 (NASB). So life itself lives in the blood which is controlled by the water.
Likewise, in Chinese medicine, the sense organ of the water element is the ears. Hearing defines our level of faith in life. The Apostle Paul declares: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Rom 10:17 (NKJV). So faith is determined by how we hear. Jesus said: “Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”” Luk 8:18 (NKJV). So hearing is key to the abundant life! Since this is affected by the health of the water element in our lives, our very spiritual life is intricately connected with how we care for this important aspect of our health.
Fear is the emotion of water. Fear is said by many to be the opposite of faith. When we feel overwhelmed or drowning in the stress of life, this is a cry of our water element for help. Fear is about magnifying the negative in our lives. Faith is about magnifying the positive in our life which ultimately is about God and His Love for us.
I know this is all much to think about. What I want emphasize though is that we are holistic. There is much more to say about the water element. The most important though is take care of your water health. Drink plenty of clean purified water. Fill yourself with the Word of God and positive faith-filled input, and then speak positive life-giving words. You water is recording it all and changing based on what you hear and say. Your very life could depend on it.
