For people that crave the crashing waves of the ocean, traveling to waterfalls and fast moving rivers, there’s an instinctual motivation behind it that allows us to recharge our natural energy sources.
As our moods constantly shift and our “vibes” give off different projections of how we feel, our bodies give off energy. Our energy is made up of both positive and negative ions. Opposite to what you may think, it’s the positive ions that are the ones that bring us down. When we absorb to many positive ions from our day to day lives such as from the humming of a computer, our phone screens and being confined for too long to our homes and offices, we begin to feel stuck, lethargic and irritable.
When we are close to moving water it creates an abundance of negative ions that we can absorb into our systems by proximity. These natural stimulating environments automatically up your serotonin levels, you absorb more oxygen into the blood and our bodies can better filter toxins. In turn, you hit a reset button and bonus, the soothing rhythms and natural good vibes from nature make us feel more connected and in a better place.
So if you’re feeling like your positive ion are too high and you need to reset – perhaps it’s time to go for a walk to the beach or take a hike to a river or waterfall. It will do you good and definitely increase your good vibes!
