Years before the “What the Bleep” movie touted Dr. Masuru Emoto’s research on the effects of thought on water, and even before he began his research, natural healers promoted the benefits of immersing yourself in water, increasing water intake, and repeating healing mantras or positive affirmations to rebalance your body.

While soaking in a hot spring, a Texas woman named Ann Johnson was inspired to create vials of water and meditate on them to infuse them with healing properties. She met Dr. Emoto at a conference, and asked him to test her waters before and after programming. This became part of his research that led him to his current fame. And, it demonstrated that her programming did indeed change the crystallization patterns in the waters she charged.

Now we know that you can create your own life-changing water experience by labeling your water with positive words like love, joy, beauty, wisdom, abundance or whatever you choose.

What does this have to do with swimming pools?

At DownUnda Pools and Aquatic Environments, we are aware of the importance of holding a positive vision throughout the design and building of your waterscape. Our team loves the work we do and, from design to completion, we are excited to make your vision of peace, healing, relaxation, connection and joy a reality.

Even the stones and the crystals in the construction materials are infused with positive energy. So, not only do you get the healing power of the water, but the benefit of what has been built into the structure of the pool. That, in turn, infuses the water with those same qualities, which is in keeping with the research Dr. Emoto has been conducting.

You, as a client,  are the beneficiary of all this positive energy.

Throughout every culture, soaking in hot springs is considered a healing practice. The Native Americans of New Mexico declared hot springs as sacred, and all fighting among tribes was forbidden in the vicinity of the hot springs. Were they maintaining a positive space for the waters to continue their healing effects? Many treaties were negotiated among tribal leaders while sharing space in the local waters. Was that just a coincidence? Many contracts in modern America have been signed in a relaxed poolside atmosphere.

Also, spending time in your pool allows your skin to soak up more water and effectively hydrate. But, because most pools use chlorine to kill bacteria, the effects may not be as beneficial as you would like. At DownUnda Pools, we recommend an ionization system that is better for the environment and better for your body. If you already have a chlorine based system, you might want to consider changing that for your better health.

These are the kind of subtle details we build into every DownUnda Aquatic Environment.

We constantly develop new ways to make your aquatic experience unique and blissful. We get to the spirit of what makes water so appealing and ensure that it continues to hold all those properties for the life of your pool.

We also make sure that your landscaping is designed to mesh with the local environment for easy maintenance and natural beauty. We choose plants that will not interfere with the workings of the pool over time.

The more harmonious the environment, the more stress-free your life is.

We’re all about how it makes you feel.
