the Shoreline

"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." -Khalil Gibran

Ode to Summer at the Seashore

Surely you've experienced how being at the seashore can boost your well-being ...

• how salt water can wash away your troubles, dissolving your stress and mental baggage

• how immersing in cool water calms you, lifting your mood and restoring your spirit as it stimulates your vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system

• how weightless you are in salt water, buoyant enough to do handstands or somersaults or just float on your back, fully supported

• how you can engage all of your senses, feeling the wind in your hair, looking, listening, touching, smelling, and tasting the salt air and sea

• how the rhythmic breaking waves provide a hypnotic, therapeutic soundtrack

• how your bare feet connect with the earth, ancient volcanic sand between your toes

  
  

• how marine life and beach combing possibilities flourish in the shoreline foam

• how negative ions (charged molecules) in the salt spray can improve mood, alertness, sleep, and immune system function, and increase seratonin levels

• how the natural blue space can help you surrender into the present moment

  
  

• how the expansive horizon opens your mind to expanded possibilities
