6 Reasons Why Being In, On, Or Around Water Makes You Feel Good

6 Reasons Water Makes You Feel Good

Why does being in, on or around water make you feel so good?

At Ocean Spa, we understand the powerful connection between water and wellness. Whether you're floating in a pool or soaking in the spa, here's why water works its magic on your mind and body:

  1. A total sensory experience: Water engages all five senses at once. From the cool touch of the water to the sight of sunlight dancing on the surface, it's an immersive experience that calms and soothes.
  2. Instant relaxation: Water triggers your parasympathetic nervous system, helping to lower your heart rate, reduce stress, and ease you into a state of relaxation.
  3. The calming power of blue: Water’s endless shades of blue have a naturally soothing effect on your mind, helping you feel relaxed and energised.
  4. Soothing "pink noise": The gentle sound of waves creates "pink noise", which is known to reduce brain activity - perfect for beachside meditation.
  5. A natural connection: Humans have an instinctive bond with nature. When we’re near water, we instantly feel at peace, reconnecting with the natural world.
  6. Balanced hormones: Immersion in water lowers stress hormones, balancing your body’s "fight-or-flight" response, leaving you feeling zen.
