The Oceans's Astounding Medicinal and Emotional Healing Power

I love the beach (if you have seen my Flickr photos about 80% of them are at different beaches in South Florida.   Besides admiring the amazing beauty of South Florida beaches, going to the beach is therapeutic for me.   It melts my stress and worries.  Gazing at the sun's shimmering reflection on the crystal aqua water or seeing a scarlet sunset gives me hope and lifts my spirits when I am depressed.  Hearing the sound of the surf also relaxes me immensely.

Why does this happen?

The ocean is the greatest source of oxygen, food and medicinal elements and is home to 80% of all living organisms. The ocean plays a critical role in all of our lives especially we can be near the ocean.

The ocean offers many stress reduction benefits as the waves put us in a meditative state. 

By going to beach:

·         We feel happier and increase our peace of mind.

·         We significantly boost our concentration, spontaneity and creativity.

·         Also many people also report leaving the beach with a renewed sense of purpose for their lives.

When you are next to the ocean it is extremely difficult not to meditate and receive all of the astounding and wonderful benefits. And with our hectic lifestyle many of us seldom meditate on a regular basis

Other Significant and Amazing Benefits of the Ocean

 

1.  Scientific research has revealed that minerals in the sea air decrease stress and increase a sense of well being. 

2.  Salt in water preserves the melatonin, tryptamine and serotonin levels in your brain.  This helps fight off depression and improve your sense of well being.

3.  The sounds of waves crashing on the beach alter wave patterns in the brain resulting in a calmer state.

4.  Swimming in ocean water is also great for our mental health.  Why? The water temperature plays a significant role in your emotional health. Cool ocean water in the spring and fall months offer a soothing treatment for your nerves and warmer waters in the summer months relax your muscles

5.  Research indicates that ocean’s water contains minerals that help with depression, arthritis, and  psoriasis and depression.

6.  Spending time in the beach dramatically affects and offer positive results for skin diseases such as rosacea, eczema and rashes from plant allergies or heat.

7.  Ocean water contains iodine and that increases your thyroid function and improves the immune system. 

8.  When you are in sea water the amount of oxygen carried throughout your bloodstream is improved and more nutrients are carried through your bloodstream to fight off free radicals.
Ocean water also improves circulation of blood to organs.

One last fact about the amazing "feel good effect" of beach and why the ocean makes feel great and full of hope.

As the waves break on the beach shoreline, air particles break apart releasing ions into the atmosphere.  And many scientists assert that sea air contains an abundance of negatively charged ions.  In today’s society we have too many positive ions in our life.  You may know positive ions by another name – free radicals.  You get tons of free radicals from electricity, computers, TV and electronic gadgets in our lives.  It's is easy to see why we have a shortage of negative ions.  Increasing our exposure to negative ions has many health benefits including enhancing the immune system, increasing alertness and improving concentration.

KEY BISCAYNE FLORIDA a Pristine Island Paradise

I go to Key Biscayne, Florida at least 4 times a month.  I usually go to Hobie Beach right next to Rickenbacker Causeway.   I take my two boys who also love the beach.  My youngest son loves fishing on the old Rickenbacker bridge and my older son enjoys swimming in the calm crystal aqua water.

I love Hobie Beach also because it is the only beach in Dade County (that I know of) that allows dogs.

We also visit Bill Baggs State Park frequently.  Many times we go biking at Bills Baggs State Park which is historic and gorgeous park.   I also love taking pictures of my boys, sunsets and people.  I have also taken pictures of Stiltsville -  Stiltsville is a group of wood stilt houses located one mile south of Cape Florida on sand banks of the Safety Valve  on the edge of Biscayne Bay in Miami Dade County in Florida. The structures stand on wood or reinforced concrete pilings, generally ten feet above the shallow water which varies from one to three feet deep at low tide.
