The Art, Science & Spirituality of Water
I am currently pursuing an academic certificate in The Art, Science, and Spirituality of Water with Veda Austin through Ubiquity University. Veda’s work is truly groundbreaking, having confirmed over 50 hydroglyphs. A hydroglyph is a symbol that water uses to communicate. To establish a hydroglyph, Veda has exposed water to the same stimulus a minimum of 50 times and received the same symbol in response. For example, by writing the word ‘living’ on a piece of paper and setting a dish of water on top, water can generate a hexagonal glyph with fern-like branches. Veda has tested this further by translating the same word into different languages and observing the same results in a freeze.
This phenomenon truly blows my mind. What is water? What is consciousness? What does this mean to each of us as individual bodies of water?
There are myriad factors in any given moment so freezes are not one to one. It takes time and exposure to a consistent stimulus to reveals the patterns that water uses to communicate. The following images are some of the highlights from my daily freezes.
Oct 9, 2025 Tap water: this is a good example of the signature pattern of the tap water from my kitchen sink. Tap water, rain water, spring water, and filtered water each demonstrate a signature pattern. While each freeze is unique, it’s helpful to get to know a typical freeze pattern so we are better able to identify differences and symbology in future freezes.
Oct 7, 2025 Tap water close-up: Empty Circle hydroglyph = completion; Two Maple Leaves hydroglyph = friends / together / trust
Oct 7, 2025 Tap water close-up: Empty Stars hydroglyph = light / guidance / hope / imagination

Oct 16, 2025 Blue bottle water + 30 seconds of rainbow #2: an arched line responding to the rainbow
Oct 26, 2025 Blue bottle water + 30 seconds of rainbow #3
Oct 26, 2025 Blue bottle water + 30 seconds of rainbow #3: a line responding to the rainbow; Empty Star hydroglyph = light / dream / inspiration
Nov 9, 2025 Blue bottle water: Tree of Life hydroglyph= wholeness; Empty Star hydroglyph = light / dream / inspiration; Two Maple Leave hydroglyph= friends / together / trust
Nov 13, 2025 Blue bottle water + thinking of my friend Alan who died a few weeks earlier: Fern Hexagon hydroglyph = living / dying / gratitude 🤍
Dec 24, 2025 Blue bottle water: Frilled Angle hydroglyph = message / communication
Dec 24, 2025 Blue bottle water: Frilled Angle hydroglyph close-up = message / communication
Dec 30, 2025 Blue bottle water + thinking of a trio of friends: Tree of Life hydroglyph with three distinct branches = wholeness; Fern Hexagon hydroglyph within the trunk = living / dying / gratitude
Jan 1, 2026 Blue bottle water + asking about the new year: Tree of Life hydroglyph = wholeness
Jan 1, 2026 Blue bottle water + asking if there’s anything to know about action steps to take: interesting symbology like a necklace and heart
Jan 11, 2026 Tap water comparison with Flaska structured water test 1:1
Jan 11, 2026 Flaska structured water comparison with tap water test 1:1: notice the curving root-like system towards the bottom of the dish
Jan 11, 2026 Tap water comparison with Flaska structured water test 1:2
Jan 11, 2026 Flaska structured water comparison with tap water test 1:2
Jan 12, 2026 Blue bottle water: a particularly beautiful freeze
Jan 12, 2026 Structured water Flaska test #2:1: my eye is drawn to the branching curves at the top of the dish
Jan 12, 2026 Structured water Flaska test #2:2: interesting to notice more structures throughout the dish
Jan 13, 2026 Outdoor ice: I noticed that that the shapes and lines are not frozen around any particular form such as a stick or a leaf. They are structured from reflecting the surrounding ground. I wonder if this is what is happening in the structured water bottle and within us.
Jan 13, 2026 Structured water Flaska test #3
Jan 19, 2026 A distinct shape that strikes me as an angular mouth.
Jan 19, 2026 The frilled line looks like the hydroglyph for Change/Winter/Between. I also see two maple leaves friendship, an empty circle completion, and line ladders information/network.
Jan 19, 2026 A frozen air bubble!
Jan 20, 2026 Double rainbow exposure using one large and one small dish
Jan 20, 2026 small dish 1
Jan 20, 2026 small dish 2
Jan 20, 2026 large dish 1
Jan 20, 2026 large dish 2
Jan 21, 2026 Rainbow
Jan 21, 2026 Living/death/gratitude in the center with feathery bands wrapping around.
Jan 23, 2026 Rainbow
Jan 23, 2026 Living/dying/gratitude fern hexagon in the center. I’ve also been noticing apple-like structure (upper right) appearing repeatedly.
Jan 25, 2026 River ice 1
Jan 25, 2026 River ice 2
Jan 26, 2026 Blue bottle water + holding the dish to my heart for 30 seconds in the midst of making a decision related to my business: creation/fire hydroglyph or air hydroglyph. I was feeling very anxious this morning but water read other information present. This one really felt like a gift.
Jan 29, 2026 Speckled rainbow
Jan 29, 2026 A particularly beautiful response to the rainbow speckle
Jan 30, 2026 Rainbow 1
Jan 30, 2026 My eye is drawn to the central swirl, spiral-like and layered. There is a feathery quality to the branchings reaching towards the edge of the dish.
Jan 30, 2026 Rainbow 2
Jan 30, 2026 This second freeze includes several tears. I notice the feathery quality is present but muted as is the band reaching towards the upper dish.
Feb 3, 2026 Rainbow
Feb 3, 2026 Feathery branchings and a root-like system
Feb 4, 2026 Rainbow trio
Feb 4, 2026 To my eye there appear to be two fish in the upper right of the dish as well as some arching branches. When I look back at the photograph of the rainbow I realized there is a trio of rainbows, a bit like a school of fish.
February 15, 2026 River ice & proof of life
February 23, 2026 dried flowers 1
February 23, 2026 the ice reflects two empty stars which is the hydroglyph for light/guidance/hope/imagination. The bottom of the dish looks like it could be the ground with plants growing from it and the stars are flowers.
February 23, 2026 dried flowers 2
February 23, 2026 this second freeze responded with branching stalks
February 23, 2026 This central figure strikes me as a little anxiety gremlin. The spikes on either side indicate stress/anxiety/defensive/protective.
February 24, 2026 Experimenting with my thumbprint.
February 24, 2026 In this image an empty star stands out” light/hope/guidance/imagination
February 24, 2026 Single empty circles indicate completion while multiple circles mean multiple/increase/manifest. Multiple empty circles makes me think the winter of one period of my life is leading into the spring of the next.
February 24, 2026 I’m curious about the wing-like figure. This has appeared in multiple freezes but I don’t currently know its meaning.
February 2026 Ice in the wild
March 8, 2026 feathering hydroglyph for air/sensitive/vibration/feather
March 10, 2026 Rainbow
March 10, 2026 feathering bands and the hint of a tree.
March 10, 2026 Two “lobes” together include meanings breathe/oxygen/lungs.
March 13, 2026 Birch bark
March 13, 2026 living/dying/gratitude appears which is fitting for birch who teaches constant transition without differentiating between living and dying
March 15, 2026 Not sure about this one — very linear but not quite the same as the line ladders that indicate information/network. This was during the final push of studying to take the MBLEx.
March 20, 2026 A little bird on spring equinox
March 22, 2026 feathering air/sensitive/wind/vibration/feather
March 28, 2026 feather
March 28, 2026 tree + two feather-like branches on the right side of the dish. Also the living/dying/gratitude glyph to the right of the tree trunk.
March 28, 2026 rainbow
March 28, 2026 it occurs to me that when viewed from above, rainbows are full circles. I wonder if this “portal” is reflecting this aspect of rainbows. I’m also drawn to the layer feathering.
April 9, 2026 Determining the meaning of this thorn-like shape in the middle of the dish is in progress. Signs point to choices/crossroads. There is an empty star visible in the upper right guidance/light/imagination.
April 9, 2026 Another view of the thorn for choices/crossroads. In this photo we can see the long arm of the thorn close to touching a clear empty circle for completion, as well two maple leaves hydroglyphs for friends/together/trust. I also see an in-progress glyph in the upper right — a straight line with a bubble in the middle potentially meaning special/sacred.
April 9, 2026 early morning ice reveals straight lines and angular turns atop the natural chaos of decaying leaves. What are all the factors that influence the expression of a freeze? What is water responding to?
May 13, 2026 Distinct ‘Y’ shape and a smattering of empty circles + empty stars that may indicate multiply/many/increase.
April 9, 2026 The way this froze stood out to me because there are many structures that all have a delicate quality. I wonder if this has to do with the warming weather and its impact on melting time.
June 9, 2026 Another version of rainbow exposure made possible by the privacy film on my dining room windows. I feel very grateful to live in this house of rainbows.
June 9, 2026 the warmer temperatures of June are definitely impacting the melt rate and the amount of condensation on the dish. I notice arching bands on both sides of the dish which I believe are water responding to the rainbow stimulus. I also suspect a lotus enlightenment facing the lower left of the dish and lots of lines in the upper dish.
June 10, 2026 Tree of Life wholeness and birds! There is a hole in the trunk of the tree that looks like a perfect place to build a nest. This one feels very magical.
June 10, 2026 Coffee! I can’t say exactly why the lines feel so right in relation to coffee but they do. Veda shared that the quality of the coffee impacts the freeze — instant vs whole bean. This is a high quality coffee.
