Go to the nearest, biggest collection of water you can find. Preferably the ocean shore, but if you are landlocked know that all water everywhere is connected anyway. If you are unable to go physically, use your imagination and travel there in your minds eye.
What you’ll need
-Your notebook and a pen

Practical witchcraft
Start with a walk. Feel the salt wind, the wet sand underneathyour feet, listen to the waves and the birds. As you are walking, pick up the trash that you come upon and put it in your plastic bag. Once the bag is full, find a peaceful place were you can sit.
Try breathing with the waves. Some are shallow, some are deep. Find the rhythm of the ocean and close your eyes. Now, call out to the element and ask it to come greet you. Feel the element inside you. The great powerful depths, the gushing glimmering surface. The currents deep within, the flowing motion, the ancient wisdom. It is you. Go as deep as you wish, immerse yourself if you like. This is your journey. Know that you can trust it. The water is you.
Afterwards, open your picnic and journal about your experience. Don’t worry about how it looks, just try to capture your feelings. Write down anything that comes to mind. Before you leave, thank the water and look around you.
Maybe there is a gift for you. A beautiful shell, a piece of driftwood, some sand or seaweed. Pic it up and put it in your jar or pouch, this magical item will serve as your memory in physical form. When you see it, hold it, use it, it will connect you back to this moment. To the water within you. It is done!
