The ocean heals all things that ail you. That’s what my mom used to tell me as a kid. I believed the ocean had magical healing powers, and I still do feel it is magical.
Come to find out it can actually help with skin conditions like eczema, wounds, psoriasis, and is possibly antiseptic.

Walking barefoot at the beach grounds you. It has the ability to psychologically trigger a state of calm and relaxation. It’s said to wash away the pain. Spiritually it is said to balance our energy, ground, cleanse, recharge, clear negativity, nurturing, and revitalize us.
Negative ions are abundant in nature, but specifically by running water such as the ocean or waterfalls, nut also in the mountains. Negative ions are better for us than positive ions.

There are so many activities you can do at the beach that are healing. I feel like the ocean is a spiritual band-aid. I could never live very far from the ocean, my children and I go year-round.
I feel like it sucks the negativity right out of me. When the body has too much negative energy it can take over. Negativity can create dis-ease in the body. The ocean can transmute that negativity and replace it with positivity and love! It’s the sand in your toes, the sounds of the waves, the smell of the salty air, and the wind blowing in your hair, the heat of the sun or the cold crisp air nipping at your cheeks that all combines to uplift your soul!
