"Calling the Healing Waters" sculpture/sundial

The Native American lore surrounding my healing waters is the stuff of legends. Now, this heritage is brought to manifestation with a magnificant sculpture soon to adorn my shores.

Two artists have created the "Calling the Healing Waters" sculpture/sundial. The community of Soap Lake will be building a Promontory Plaza on my shores featuring this one and a half lifesize bronze sculpture. The highest feather on the sculpture acts as a sundial. The Plaza will be surrounded by basalt stones acting as hour markers. This sculpture/sundial embodies the essense of my being. More shall be revealed.

Last lake to freeze

Even in winters white many birds visit my shores. Geese land in my waters hundreds at a time because Soap Lake is the last of the lakes below Banks Lake to freeze. The high mineral content makes it the last place the birds can float in water.

Wonder my shoreline and find downy and hairy woodpeckers, northern flicker, red breasted and white breasted nuthatches, Steller's jays, dark eyed juncos or bushtits. Increasing numbers of tundra swans, Canadia geese, diving ducks, dabbling ducks, and a few bald eagles reported in the Sun Lakes chain (Soap Lake to Banks Lake), if you’re looking for a nice drive.

Something stirring

Something magnificient is stirring on my shores. Plans are afoot to let the world know of my amazing healing properties in my waters. Yes, soon, all will be able to call the healing waters.

I am the voice of Soap Lake.

In the beginning post I mentioned Source Water. "Smokiam" (Indian name for Soap Lake, means healing waters)should be considered as a Source Water for Water for World Peace.

What does Source Water mean?

Source Water is a body of water resulting from ancient cataclysmic geological events shaping the world then whose evidence is being repurposed to shape the world today. Soap Lake would be an example. This idea is that bodies of water having violent natural creations would have an opposite vibratory frequency of peace and healing today. (Through the Law of Transmutation and Transmission of Radiant Energy.)

Consider this verse in the Holy Bible as an indicator of the power of water and all it contains-

2Kings2:19-22

19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold now, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is unfruitful.”
20 And he said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
21 And he went out to the spring of water, and threw salt in it and said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘I have purified/healed these waters; there shall not be from there death or unfruitfulness any longer.’”
22 So the waters have been purified to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.

Note- the current day “Dead Sea” was called The Salt Sea (-1,300 ft). It is entirely possible that the above referred salts were actually minerals (salts) from the Dead Sea. [Hopefully the name will change when people realize words create vibrations in the global consciousness.]

It is said that rival Indian tribes would call a truce when they came to Soap Lake to relax and heal themselves and their animals. This is verified by recorded history and the number of Indian artifacts found in the area over the years.

From the many testimonials of those it has helped, there is no doubt that the water of Soap Lake has curative powers.

It is the only known successful treatment for the rare Buergers Disease (Thromboangitis Obliterans). Men using the water have been able to arrest or slow the ravages of the disease. Documented testimonials can be found here: http://www.soaplakewa.com/testimonials.html

Skin, circulatory, digestive, and joint problems seem to be the disorders most commonly benefited by drinking and bathing in the water.

The mineral content of Soap lake water has been analyzed many times throughout the last 95 years. Concentration of different minerals has changed throughout this time. The most recent analysis was conducted in 2000.The result of the analysis is as follows:

Less than .01 of Aluminum, Iron, Copper, Rubidium, Lithium, Strontium, Barium, Chromium, Lead, Manganese, Titanium, Vanadium, and Boron.There is also a high concentration of organic substances such as ichthyols suspended or dissolved in Soap Lake water.

Next time I'll tell how rival Indian tribes would call a truce when they came to Soap Lake to relax and heal themselves and their animals.

Soap Lake water also contains ichthyols, an oil-like substance sold over the counter in Europe to treat infections and abrasions. The icthyol in Soap Lake water most likely come from decomposition of tiny brine-like red shrimp that flourish in the water from late spring to mid-summer. Like the (hopefully renamed :) Dead Sea, the high mineral content of the lake makes the water very buoyant.

The alkalinity of the lake is similar to that found on the moons of Jupiter. Because of this, in 2002 the National Science Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from Central Washington University to study the lake to learn about the possibility of life on Mars.

Next up I'll tell you about my mineral compostion and recent discoveries of new species, the kind that can help save the planet.
