Sunrise seaside walk. An immeasurable sense of stillness around water. A chance to escape hyper-connected, over-stimulated state of modern day life. Sea air is a cure for all sorts of issues like respiratory disorders, fatigue. Just photos of rivers in natural green spaces, waterfalls, playful dolphins makes stress levels drop!
Our love of water is all pervasive. Travel to beaches for rejuvenating, refreshing feelings. Water is moody! Sometimes most calming a presence, sometimes most turbulent. Makes us feel alive in reflective, calm ways. Inspires creative thinking, peace. Resonates with mysteries, secrets, expansiveness, abundant life.
“Our oceans, waterways, life they contain are much more than their ecological, economic value. They have vast emotional benefits. Makes life on earth possible, but also worth living,” says Nichols. Water is natural medicine for all, for life. Without water we’d miss a beautiful part of selves, perhaps.
