"Sometimes, it feels to me like the voice of my inner child is very much like the voices of playful dolphins. And they truly have so much to teach us. For instance, joy!"

At the end of 2020, the Finnish magazine Ultra published an article titled "Elena Gushchina is the Magnet", in which I share my understanding of the memory of water and its messages. These messages reveal the nature of the world as an illusion, opening up deep truths to the reader about the interconnectedness of all that exists.

"Manifested reality is an illusion of our consciousness. However, the reality of luminous existence is absolute happiness and abundance in everything. Thus, reality is not what we see. Reality truly contains all that is needed and desired. The illusion, or thoughts, as well as old programs and emotional fluctuations, limit manifestation and make us believe that this is reality. Water, in turn, remembers everything, even our multidimensional world, which is why it is so important to remain conscious, especially in our interaction with water."

In January 2021, the Finnish magazine Sielun Peili (translated as Mirror of the Soul) published my article "Physical Meditation", in which I share my underwater experiences of feeling like in the womb of the Universe, in sensations of complete peace and unity. In this article, I talk about how all thoughts disappear underwater and the deep, cleansing effect that immersion has:

"It seems that pure consciousness manifests when there is a connection with water. It almost carries the mind so deeply into a state of awareness that the body begins to 'dissolve,' stepping back into the background of its physical manifestation. For a moment, there is a desire to create something in this state of deep relaxation – to visualize and bring something from the invisible world, solidifying it with energy and sensation. But no. Underwater, all visualization suddenly becomes unnecessary. Unity with all that exists takes center stage. Energy seems more important than matter. It's incredible. It never gets boring. It's impossible to stop enjoying immersion. Underwater, everything happens automatically. Opening the heart. Balance. Understanding the Universe. Joy. Unconditional love. Gratitude. When consciousness is pure, you begin to hear yourself and your heart."

In the moment of deep understanding, the realization comes that there is no need for desires because everything already exists in the immaterial world of all potentials, and you yourself are a part of this whole – pure Bliss. In March 2023, the PADI blog published my story in the article “Water & Diving Change Lives: One Diver’s Unfiltered Story”, where I share my personal experience and understanding of transformation through diving into the depths of water:

"Underwater, I suddenly met my inner child. My whole body began to shake with laughter and joy. And I found myself, finally, reunited with the water and what felt like my true self. Already in these first dives, I knew that I would become a dive instructor and guide others to the water. My hope was that I could open this fantastic world to others. Diving led me to a meeting not only with my inner child and my mission in life, but also filled me with joy, which, in turn, enriched me as a woman and a human being. Diving helped me discover a state of inner silence and bliss”.

Water has become my guide through deep and significant transformations, which occur through regular interaction with it. It directs, teaches, and supports me on my path of self-discovery through energies, including my fascination with quantum consciousness. One of these pivotal moments happened when; while walking along a stream, I noticed something unusual in the water: tiny transparent shapeless spheres, appearing as if out of nowhere. They moved rapidly along the river current, and within a few seconds, they turned into little fish. I watched this remarkable process for a long time, and with each passing moment, I became more convinced that what I was seeing was really happening and that my perception was not deceiving me. Over time, I allowed my mind to release this phenomenon, dismissing it as more of a fantasy than something real to be taken seriously.
