The Healing Power of Water - Immersion Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System Leading to Greater Calm

I was practicing mindfulness while watching and listening to the ocean waves.

I’ve always felt that water has some healing properties. It has a restorative power. Then, I recently discovered that immersion in the water activates the parasympathetic nervous system which leads to greater peacefulness and calm. I have not verified this with research. Interesting idea, however.

Here’s a video so you can catch the feeling!

Mindfully,
