Betsy’s response to e-mails regarding her “From the Filmmaker” article in the April issue:

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful emails responding to my last "From The Filmmaker". I have taken much of your comments to heart and enjoy reading what you have to say. The journey I'm on is always fascinating and I've learned a great deal from the people I've been able to meet along the way. Many of you have asked if it's possible to screen WATER or The VOICE for your group or organization. Both films are now available for special screenings. We have a shortened version of THE VOICE (2 Hours) which is great for screening at events. Both films are great opportunities to raise funds for your groups. If you would like more information please visit www.intentionmediainc.cim and click on special screenings.

Thanks again and keep those emails coming!

Letters to the Editor after April issue:

In reading the article by Betsy in the (April) Bleeping Herald, a question comes to mind. It relates to the now-highly praised H2Om Water products...... How can a water be blessed with such a global intention (toward health, love, prosperity, etc) work for everyone? Is it wise to infuse water that the general public will consume with YOUR (or in this case, the manufacturers) beliefs and intentions? How do they accomplish that; do they sit around in a circle and chant the intention into the water before it's bottled? This is a curious product, and I will ask these questions of the manufacturer.

In our intentionally-based circle that is growing out of "What the Bleep" do we all buy this concept? I have a Brita pitcher, and never consider drinking tap water. And I have written thoughts of love and
kindness all over the pitcher, so the water will understand that I love it in its filtered state. Every time I drink from it, I am reminded of the goodness I am consuming, and how much happier and evolved the water is because of MY intentions toward the water.

It's a curious thing, this new water - is this truly blessed, or is it just another money-making scheme from some clever marketing folks. I like the idea; I'm not sure I'd spend the money on it.

Response: We forwarded the question to the founders of H2Om water and they kindly responded below:

Hi Jane (and Katie, editor of the Bleeping Herald)

This is a great question! A lot of people wonder about H2Om water and our Intention process. This may be a long answer, but we feel that the more information you have, the better. As you know, "With our Thoughts We create the World" H2Om Water with Intention is the world's first "Interactive water". We place words on our specially designed labels to inspire you to create your own intention relating to that word/subject. We do not place a specific prayer or mantra for you to recite. We invite our customers to participate with our slogan "Think it While You Drink it" in hopes that this will make them more conscious of their thoughts, especially in relationship to water on the planet and the water that makes up 70 % of the human body. In terms of our water, first we start with the purest mountain spring
water, it has never been exposed to chemicals or groundwater contamination. Spring water is a living water. Our source is a natural spring in the Palomar Mountains of Southern California. Our purification process makes it one of the most pure natural spring waters available. The water never comes into contact with chemicals. It comes straight from the granadorite fracture in the mountainside into our stainless steel transport tanks where it is sanitized with ultraviolet light. Once it arrives at our bottling facility, it is again sanitized with ultraviolet light and passed through a five time micron filter system. The last step before bottling is the oxygenation process, where the water is energized with Oxygen3 (Ozone) a natural purification element to further sanitize the water. Ozone is a very potent and thorough sanitizing agent, and, unlike chlorine, it naturally breaks down to simple oxygen in a few hours and leaves no traces, residues or aftertastes in the water. Additionally, Ozone eliminates any present and potential bacteria 3,200 times faster than chlorine. The process is considered to be the finest available in the industry. In a time when most consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with the quality and purity of their drinking water, the spring’s 4,000’ elevation is significant in that it is well above the “fertilization line” caused by commercial agriculture and its byproducts.

H2Om ~ water with intention is a revolutionary product, the world's first vibrationally charged, interactive bottled spring water. Recently, science has shown that water is extremely receptive. It has been documented both in natural science and quantum physics, that what water receives in the form of vibration, it carries, and reflects. You may have seen this illustrated in the hit films “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” and “The Secret”. Our labels are specially designed with positive words in many of the world's languages both on the outside and inside of the label. Colors are used which resonate with specific energy centers of the body (chakras), and as an added bonus, once our water is in the bottle, we play a restorative composition of music, frequencies, and spoken word to the water. These frequencies and tones are commonly used by health and sound practitioners to create balance and vitality for the human water body.

The reason we say positive energy for people and the planet is because a portion of our proceeds, as well as events that we are a part of, support eco consciousness and education. People working towards and creating positive change on our planet socially and environmentally. We also donate a portion of our proceeds to organizations and events that are committed to the natural preservation of our planet, and creating education for children. We've even partnered with carbonfund.org to offset our carbon footprint on the planet. Our vision for H2Om is to inspire people across the world to create positive intention in their lives. Hence our slogan, "think it while you drink it."®

You may be curious how H2Om Water with Intention got started... It all began in 2004 while honeymooning on the beautiful island of Kauai. One morning we (Sandy and I) were meditating on Poipu Beach. As part of our meditation, we sent positive blessings for the planet into the ocean, asking the water to carry that energy out into the world so that anyone who was touching the water would receive our positive intentions. After our meditation, we walked into town for lunch. On the table of the restaurant was a local publication called "Inspiration Magazine". The feature story read “The Miracle of Water ~ Send your Blessings into the World” the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto. It was an article on water and its unique ability to retain information. We said “Wow, we were just doing this!” After returning back to the mainland we started to tape positive words on our bottles of water, inspiring family and friends to do the same. If water was receptive, we wanted to give it something positive to receive. A few months later we saw the hit movie “What the Bleep Do We Know!?” There it was again, documentation of water's receptivity. The morning after seeing the film, at 5am, I awoke from a powerful dream and saw a banner, with images of the bottles and the name "H2Om ~ water with intention”, and the slogan " Think it while you drink it" floating in front of me. That was the day we decided a message so strong should not be ignored, and we started the process of creating H2Om. Almost two years later we opened our doors for business. Well, I hope that answers your questions and clarifies H2Om for you. :)

“We strive to have a positive effect on our communities and the earth, while we bring awareness to sacred life force that exists in our water”
