On ceasing the pursuit of our hierarchical notions of success; turning the light inward for true connection and care.

Emilio Diez Barroso is a light, a teacher and a collaborator on this planet.

In his bio, he says he's perfected the art of appearing very successful: managing two family offices, a venture investment firm, sitting on the board of over a dozen companies... but as he saw that none of that was actually nourishing him, he turned his attention inward. With a mission of transforming our shared sense of unworthiness, he now mentors individuals and groups, considering everyone with whom he works to be his teacher. Dedicated to alleviating suffering in the world, he's the author of The Mystery of You, a dive into his process and findings.

On enhancing the coherence in your home, your body and your cells.

On the chaos and coherence of water, the dire state of our soil both in Nature and our bodies, and how coherent water improves our markers of brainwave health, biological age, microbiome, energy levels, and our connection to the circadian rhythms of life.

• 3:00 – What does the coherent state of water mean and look like? H2O molecules exist in a chaotic state. This chaos has an influence on our health and wellness despite being unaware of it.
• 5:30 – 99% of our molecules are water. Water is the most fundamental level of our physical existence. Our biology on this planet depends on water.
• 8:00 – Early research measuring the effect of water on plants. Measuring biophotons and the vitality of biological systems. Double blind, placebo controlled study on ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
• 10:40 – ATP levels of Ańalemma group were 20% over the placebo. 26% rise in overall mitochondrial energy of your body within 2 months of drinking the water. Brain health is enhanced, and longevity is affected. 25% of all of our energy in the body goes to the brain alone.
• 13:45 – Double blind test with identical twins and brainwaves. Better connection between left and right hemisphere and cooling of brainwaves. There was a state of coherence observed in the brain.
• 15:45 – Microbiome Study – We like to think of ourselves as a single species, but we are an entire ecosystem living in symbiosis with trillions of microorganisms. The state of our microbiome is related to any and all areas of human health.
• 18:01 – The are more microbes in our body than human cells. There are over 150x more microbial genes in our body than human genes.
• 20:30 – Most diseases are connected to having, or not having certain bacteria in your gut. Many the foods we are eating that are saturated with glyphosate, which is an antibiotic, which kills our microbiome. We need a rich and diverse gut microbiome.
• 23:10 – So much glyphosate is being used all over the planet that some scientists are saying we have only 60 more harvests before we kill the microbiome of the soil completely. Ańalemma water changes the micro biome and fertility of the soil. Mother earth is the hidden voice of this project.
• 26:20 – Water is a communication system. It is like an antenna that enables you to be connected to a larger environment. When we are connected deeply with ourselves and with our larger environment, we are flowing with it and not separated from it.
• 28:45 – Coherent water, Ańalemma water, improves our connection to the circadian rhythms of life. New double blind, placebo controlled study on individual microbiomes planned for deeper examination.
• 31:05 – Looking at pathogenic bacteria – reduction in pathogenic bacteria when people drink this water – Positive bacteria go up, and negative bacteria go down.
• 32:30 – https://analemma-water.com/; Whole house Ańalemma – 100 person study on bathing in Ańalemma water
• 35:35 – We have barely scratched the surface of the wonder of coherent water – new studies and new results are emerging.

Mario is an entrepreneur, researcher, and CEO New Earth Technologies, a company that offers the miracle of Analemma Water by transforming water into a coherent liquid crystalline state, enhancing the properties and benefits of the water we drink.

In this conversation, we discuss the science of structured water and its impact on our overall health and longevity.
