Day 21 | Vitamin Sea

Hippocrates first used the word "thalassotherapy" to describe the healing effects of seawater. Seawater contains vital elements, vitamins, mineral salts, trace elements, amino acids and living microorganisms that can produce antibiotic and antibacterial effects to help promote a healthy immune system. The components of seawater, similar to human blood plasma, are easily absorbed and utilized by your body while swimming or bathing. Inhaling a sea mist filled with negatively charged ions, or molecules that attach to you lungs also boost your immune system.

Presence Pause:

Close your eyes and image in a favorite moment on the beach or a sea spot you are ready to visit. Smile as you wander through your mind’s eye.
Discover the power of just the simple act of focusing your attention on deep appreciation for what is,

acknowledging & loving, noticing regularly the gifts of your days, your community, your lives, your bodies, this glorious planet!
When you appreciate something, what you focus on, appreciates, it flourishes.

Action:

Fill a tub, throw in some bath salts, light a candle, and turn on an ocean-sound tune.

Submerge yourself as far as you are comfortable…until just your nose is poking out and smile.
The simple act of smiling can transform you and the world around you. Research shows that a smile is contagious.
It makes us appear more attractive to others, lifts our mood, and the mood of those around us, and even lengthens our lives.

Each time you smile, you throw a feel-good party in your brain activating neural messaging that benefits your health and happiness.

Combine your imagination, sea and smiles for a magical elixir of feel good sensory snacks.
