I always knew being near natural water had this affect. But I didn’t realize how much just the sound of the moving water positively affected me. The visuals are definitely calming for me too, but the sound may have the greatest affect, probably because I can really feel it. It helps me relax and to breathe more normally, especially with ocean sounds— somehow, the rythym of the waves just reminds me to breathe 🌊

This reality allows me to listen to recorded versions of these sounds and experience the same affect I get when at the ocean or a river, or when it’s raining. Which is incredibly helpful because I cannot travel or spend as much time outdoors as I once did.
