One portion of the Sun’s radiation referred to as infrared (IR) is comprised of longer/slower wavelengths than visible light. These wavelengths are easily absorbed by water. They provide the energy that brings organization (liquid crystalline structure) to water and likely have a similar influence on the water in the human body.
All living organisms are exposed (in one way or another) to the natural electromagnetic radiation that originates from the Sun. IR radiation has been used effectively for a long time to treat/ease certain maladies and discomforts. It is known to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and increase metabolism. Recent investigation has linked these benefits to water’s structure and its potential to influence membrane permeability/absorption and mitochondrial respiration.
The IR waveband has 3 sub divisions:
- Near infrared (NIR)—also known as IR-A
- Mid infrared (MIR)—also known as IR-B
- Far infrared (FIR)—also known as IR-C
The MIR and FIR wavelengths are most easily absorbed by water and by the skin. They are often delivered through specialty devices that provide these frequencies for therapeutic effects. In fact, the wavelengths between 3 and 20 microns have often been referred to as “biogenetic rays” or the frequencies of life. Their delivery through water not only supports water’s structure, it may also carry nourishing “information” throughout the entire body.
One unique thing about IR radiation is that its influence is just as profound during complete darkness. That’s because IR is re-emitted for a long period of time after absorption. It is the basis of night vision cameras and thermographic imaging.
There are many ways to bring IR radiation to the human body through water. It can be as simple as adding stones to your water or choosing a ceramic water vessel to store water.
How to receive the benefits of IR through water
1 Ceramics
When people think of ceramic they usually think of dishes made of clay or stoneware. High temperature firing gives these products durability. Ceramic products absorb and emit IR rays in a stable and predictable manner. This is one reason ceramic is an ideal container for water. From another perspective, clay carries the frequencies of many of the Earth’s minerals. It is a highly organized, layered matrix found to support water’s liquid crystalline structure. No wonder ceramic water vessels are still used in many parts of the world even when other containers are more economical and easier to use. Storing water in ceramic is the best way to preserve its structure and energetic potential.
Ceramic materials can also be used as a carrier for crushed minerals and even microbes. In this way, many properties can be delivered through water—accompanied by nourishing IR frequencies . One mineral, known as tourmaline, is often embedded in clay for use in water.
2 Tourmaline
In holistic healing, tourmaline is known for a variety of properties. It has a soothing effect on nerves and is also recognized for its balancing and detoxification effects. In addition to these effects, tourmaline emits IR wavelengths.
Pierre Curie noted that tourmaline carried a weak electric charge when heated (pyroelectricity) and when placed under pressure (piezoelectricity). Research in Japan confirmed that tourmaline carried a faint but constant electric charge of 0.06mA. Japanese researchers also found that no matter how small tourmaline was ground, each particle was still capable of conveying an electric current. It is like a battery with unlimited life. When placed in water, slight pressure contributes to a piezoelectric effect that supports water’s liquid crystalline structure (see chapter 9 of Dancing with Water).
Crushed tourmaline is often mixed with clay to make small ceramic balls for use in water. Firing creates resiliency for long-term use. Tourmaline contributes IR wavelengths (between 4 and 16 microns), as well as the piezoelectric effect; clay contributes IR, many silicate minerals and a molecular organization that is also supportive of water’s structure. Placing a bag of ceramic tourmaline balls in a gallon of water (pitcher, large water bottle, gravity water filter, etc.) will treat the water in several hours or overnight. When consumed, this water carries IR wavelengths deep into the body. It can help improve circulation and metabolic functions while supporting the release of toxins and wastes.

3 Mica
Mica is another mineral that emits strong IR radiation. It is used in micathermic heaters, but is also used in modern technology for its properties as a capacitor and amplifier. Mica has a long history of use with clay and water. A clay/mica combination that has been fired creates a resilient material used anciently for a variety of purposes. Today it is referred to as laminar crystal and is used to structure and enhance water.
4 Shungite
Shungite is another mineral that absorbs and re-emits strongly in the IR bandwidth. This stone, uniquely found in Russia, is made largely of carbon and includes the presence of fullerenes (carbon 60 ). When placed in water, shungite enhances water’s structure and brings numerous benefits which are being documented in a growing body of literature.
The Water Cradle, developed by the authors of Dancing with Water is an egg-shaped vessel made of stoneware. It allows water to reach an energetic peak in stillness and darkness while supported by IR coming from the vessel itself and from a shungite sphere that serves as the lid. Other features provide protection from EMFs while gathering life force. Read more about egg-shaped vessels
