Currently, I live by the beach area in New Jersey. I decided to go to the beach and sit and take in the ocean air and the calm and serene sounds of the ocean during this time of year. I love going to the beach this time of year, because nobody is there and it is a great spot to meditate, relax, and clear your thoughts. I went to the beach and I did some breathing exercises, and I feel ten times better. I was only there for about fifteen minutes, but that is all you need. I sat in a quiet area, and an area with a good view and I inhaled deep breaths and then I exhaled calmly. I believe that we need to use our nature that surrounds us as a relaxtion technique. The ocean definitely can relax us, and it does for me. I think I am going to do this more frequently, because I feel better when I do breathing techniques at the beach then at my house. Mother Nature in herself is a relaxation technique. Embrace what we have around us.

Hi Nancy, wow, living by the beach what a great place to meditate listening to the waves coming into shore. I find the sounds of the ocean very healing as well as strengthening. I love water elements, unfortunately I have to travel to get to the ocean or even a waterfall. so for now I enjoy the seclusion and beauty in my own back yard.
ReplyDeleteBreathing techniques are a great calming tool especially when you are in the right place and alone like at the beach. I look forward to reading future postings and following your journey.
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI love the beach, I think there is nothing more peaceful than to seat in a quiet spot and hear the water come to the sand. I went to the beach Friday night with my husband alone and walk for a little bit around, it feels good. However, I need to do that by myself, and practice some breathing. I think that learn how to breathe is an important asset for our health. We take that act for granted and don’t realize that we need to learn how to breathe. I like what you said we need to EMBRACE what we have around us and take the best. =)
