Blue Mind

I'm sure you know this already, but just really bringing our focus to that fact, that all of the water we're interacting with today, around us, within us, it's been cycling through the Earth and all the living beings, and it connects us to each other and everything, to every living thing.

And so there's just a few more things I'll share before we dive in, but I love this blue mind theory, and this is Wallace J. Nichols.

But he has this theory, and I came across it on Instagram the other day, that it's obvious, right, but I love that there's research that backs it up, about how being close to water, whether you're near it, in it, on it, it brings us into a calmer, more peaceful state, while opening space for creativity, connection, and reflection.

Water can quiet the noise of everyday life and invite us into a softer, more receptive way of being.

You've just touched on one of my favorite topics.

In fact, I just had a call this morning about a documentary that's being made that I'll be a part of related to what we call Blue Mind.

And so that's why I say touch water.

Scientifically, we know, and there are many different books, but the one that was the one that I bought when it first came out and knew the author and really admired him was the book Blue Mind by Dr. Walsh Nichols.

And in a sense, that book set sort of the scientific, cultural, social, and even economic, I would say, theories together about why we are different when we're in on or near water.

And part of this came from just studying how people's bodies and their minds and hearts react.

And so any exposure to nature is good.

Don't get me wrong.
