A few weeks ago, I had my first experience floating in magnesium infused water. Enclosed in a softly lit pod containing this liquid, I was simultaneously also immersed in gentle flute music playing from an underwater speaker. Appropriate low, colorful lighting completed the atmosphere. The way the magnesium caused my body to float on the water reminded me of my experience at the Dead Sea decades ago.

Holy Spirit spoke to me about this. He pointed out that Continue reading Floating in God’s World
