There's something very soothing about the ocean. The sound of the waves, the wind and the interaction between the two is very calming.

 

Maybe because humans have always found something healing about water, something transformational, religious even. Maybe it's implanted in our DNA to find inner peace whenever we hear the sound of the waves, or smell of the ocean. Maybe the rythm of the waves hitting the shore makes us think about breathing, and let that one thought consume us until we can't think of anything else.

 

Could that be the reason why people exercise close to the sea? Or why we take long showers and baths whenever we feel stressed? Or maybe even why we always insist on having a room with an ocean view when we're on holiday?

 

I'm not sure of the answers, but I can tell you this; if the ocean makes you find your inner harmony, embrace it. Because you might want to re-live that feeling.
