GOOD NEW FROM AROUND THE REEF

Alright, raise your hand if you've ever stood at the edge of water - whether that's the ocean or lake, river, or swamp, you name it - and actually felt better about life. Okay, I realize I can't actually see you so I'm just going to assume that everybody raised their hand. Turns out, there's actually some pretty real healing benefits, both physical and psychological from hanging out around water. What are actually helps calm us when we're feeling stressed and Dr. J Nichols’ calls this our ‘Blue Mind,’ which actually makes a lot of sense. If you think about it in 60% of the human body is water, and you can learn more about blue mind in Dr. J Nichols’ book of the same title.
