Living Near the Ocean Keeps you Healthy

Living near the Ocean Keeps you Healthy

I have been lucky enough to live just a short
distance from the ocean for years. When you are
living near any large body of water, you see the
world through a different lens. The ocean has
always been really special to me, although I
didn't see it until I was sixteen when a group of
five friends took a Greyhound bus down to Florida
to have some summer fun. I have always been around
big bodies of water, living in Michigan not too
far from the Great Lakes, but the saltwater of the
ocean has some really special healing qualities.

According to a study conducted by the Peninsula
College of Medicine and Dentistry at the
University of Exeterin England, those who live
close to the ocean are healthier than those who
live inland. The report analyzed data from
England's 2001 census consisting of forty-eight
million people, taking into account age, gender,
and socio-economic status. The results indicated
that those who lived in the shore were in finer
fettle than their non-coastal counterparts. The
study concluded that there was an association
between visiting the shore and overall wellness,
but the lead researchers stated that this type of
study could not prove a direct cause and effect.
However, previous scientific studies have focused
on what exactly it is about the coast that
stimulates well-being. Every time a wave crashes
on the shore, you get a waif of salty air that
helps to mineralize the entire body.Living near
the sea increases human health, both mentally and
physically. Ocean air has negatively charged ions
that make you sleep more soundly and become less
stressed. Sunshine gives you endorphins, and
research proves that ocean sounds alter brain wave
patterns to make you calmer.

There aren't many experiences that expose all of
your senses as much as sitting on the beach and
looking out over the sea. My morning trainings on
the beach quiets the mind. Based on studies, when
the brain enters a restful state while looking
at the water, you're able to make new or
unfamiliar connections. You'll get a
one-with-the-universe feeling, allowing you to see
the colors of the sunset or the diamond-like
sparkle of the water more vibrantly than
ever. Swimming in the ocean enhances the immune
system, hydrates the skin, and boosts circulation.
Seawater that is rich in magnesium also has been
shown to relax muscles and helps induce sleep.The
minerals in the sea rejuvenate the entire body and
mind as salt has special properties.

Today, I didn't go near my office. Instead, I
started my day with a walk and training on the
beach, and then went to visit a new halotherapy
spa a.k.a. salt therapy (Halo is Greek for salt.)
Salt therapy is similar to spending time in the
salty sea air which offers many more benefits than
just relaxation on the beach. Ancient healers and
philosophers recommended salt inhalation for the
respiratory system and health problems. Dry salt
therapy originates from speleotherapy (cave
therapy) and the Wieliczka salt cave in Poland,
where workers exhibited fewer respiratory
illnesses. The benefits of salt therapy are
wide-ranging. Salt levels affect our cell
activity, energy, and blood sugar levels. A
natural disinfectant, salt has antimicrobial
properties. Himalayan and Dead Sea salt contain
eighty-four elements found in the human body. Dry
salt air is more powerful than moist air. The
negative-charged ions in salt improve our health
and mood. Inhaling particles may reduce
inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving
respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies,
bronchitis, sinus congestion, and Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Scientific
studies show that people with asthma and other
ailments breathe easier after halotherapy. The
calming and detoxifying effects of halotherapy can
support the immune, nervous, and lymphatic
systems. The other benefits are reduced stress and
headaches, increased energy, and better sleep
patterns. Salt ions purify the air and may
increase lung capacity and reduce physical
ailments in adults and children. Skin conditions
can also be improved with halotherapy including
psoriasis, rashes, eczema, and acne. Table salt or
sodium chloride is dehydrating, but pure mineral
salts have natural moisturizing properties that
support the skins water balance and barrier
function by attracting moisture to the skin.
Minerals are necessary for cell function and
detoxification, and mineral salts have strong
rejuvenating properties.

When I got there, I was asked to take my shoes off
and remove everything from my pockets and relax in
a large lounge chair. The floor was covered with
five inches of pure white salt, and all the walls
were caked with salt.A fine salt mist was blowing
in the room as the lights were lowered and soft
music was playing. I began my Qi Gong meditation
by tracing the meridians in my mind and then
creating a protective energetic force field around
myself. I then went into the Wu Zang meditation
for energetic protection. 

All these are part of the Qi Gong Inner Circle
that is taking on a new face. The DVD format is
changing to a download version. This will save
time in shipping, and I can get you teachings that
are less expensive. We have four people working on
the new Qi Gong Inner Circle
www.Qigonginnercircle.com 
as well as the launching of the new website,
www.Energymedicineflorida.com.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and
Happiness.
