How did you feel the first time you saw, smelled, heard or felt the ocean? 𝑶𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚 🌊 In all likelihood, you felt a sense of calm, rejuvenation and peace. As it turns out, there’s a physiological and chemical basis to these feelings. Medical studies are measuring reduced cortisol — the stress hormone — and increases in serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine — the feel-good hormones — in people as they spend time in, on, around or under the ocean. Ocean access programs are resulting in clear benefits to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, young women experiencing reduced self-esteem and at-risk youth. More time around natural water bodies also helps reduce distraction and anxiety. For many families, the ocean also provides good, lifelong memories of quality time together. Changes in our brain chemistry as a direct result of the ocean’s influence can help us live with a healthier Blue Mind. . #goadiaries #southgoa #goanblogger #♒ #goacafes #goafood #goatrip #goalife #thalassagoa #exploregoa #hiddengoa #goablogger #goahotels #cuelim #cansaulimbeach #panjimgoa #vascodagama #mapusa #porvorim #margao #goavacation #OceanicTherapy #Goa #meditationgoa #mandrembeach #mandrem #goameditation #healinggoa #healingpowerofnature #retreatsgoa (at Arambol, Goa, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_Gpr4h-5I/?utm_medium=tumblr
