How does water make you feel? People are connected to water to various degrees.  Whether you feel connection because it keeps you alive day-to-day or whether it’s something more. Think about it, when you’re a kid and you see the sea for the first time on holiday, what feelings do you remember? When you can’t sleep, what noises do you listen to? Rain, waves, whales? Even before we’re born, when we’re in our mothers' bellies we grow, protected by a safe watery base of the amniotic fluid. So how can we attempt to try and address this topic of how and why people are connected to water? How far back and how wide dare we go? We’re opening some doors and peeking into two fundamental topics: religious meaning and spiritual connections. Through the most popular religions of the world,  indigenous cultures, ancient mythologies, water as healing, the zodiac signs, and reading the clues nature provides, welcome to Series 2 Episode 1 of the Brave Blue World: What is Water?
