Why listen to Virtual Sea: the sounds of the ocean?
Find out more about the reasons that listening to the sounds of the ocean soothes us here. Or read Wallace J Nichols’ landmark bestselling book “Blue Mind”.
Listening to the sea soothes us. Instead of awakening your ‘fight or flight’ reflex, “Virtual Sea” can help to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (calming your breathing, decreasing your heart rate, and stimulating your digestion, amongst other wellbeing benefits…). It can also help you to connect to your intuition, reducing mind chatter so that you can connect more deeply to your inner knowing.
The sound of water reminds us of the sounds we heard in the womb – there’s a similar rhythm and sense of fluidity. It also connects with ancient parts of our brains that evolved to associate the sea and the sound of water with food, safety and home.
Looking at the sea also soothes us in a similar way – you can read more about that here.
