Thirst is an interoceptive feeling that many of us have become numb to, where dehydration is not merely a lack of water, it is also a lack of coherent frequency within our interstitial structured water. This is why shadow-work is tied to our mitochondrial health, that leads to proper hydration through the metabolic pathway of oxidative phosphorylation. Embodiment, somatic awareness and interoception, are innate spiritual abilities that are active when our root chakra is open. For this reason, hydration at the cellular level requires us to release our fear.
