how long do u have to hold the saucer on the bottom and on the top of the glass would appreciate the help thank u so much. lots of hugs

Wonder if we shouldn't be trying to control nature, and instead work with it?

taraprincess,
you put the saucer on top of the full glass of water, like a lid. then you turn both (cup & "lid") over and set them down so that the saucer is on the bottom and the glass is upside down on top of it. i usually leave it there just for the time i need it not to rain; like just that particular day and then i release it that night.
does that help?



sidewalk_bends,
i don't really i would be attempting to control nature; that sounds so...unethical(?).

there are just some moments/days when you might want to hold off the rain for awhile.  no?

There are times I'd like to hold off the rain or want more of it, but I don't know best. I could want it dry and another could be dying of thirst that I may not know about? I'll leave it to the One that controls the rain to make that decision.

It's just an interesting topic.

I agree with sidewalk bends controlling the nature is very dangerous and its reverse attack can harm. Instead a request  with respect can be made to the nature to stop for a while to,One should always use care when "trying to control" nature, she can be nasty when she wants.  It is extremely important to respect nature.  If it is supposed to rain, then it will rain, you cannot stop it.  This is a force that works outside of the concerns of people.  We must remain humble in the face of such a powerful force.
