Beach Therapy.

 “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”:“You stand on the beach and taste the salty smell of the wind that comes from the ocean, and inside you feel the warmth of never ending freedom, and on your lips the bitter, tear-soaked kiss of your lover”.

These drawings were done on the spot while sitting under the shade of a tree. It is so true when Annabel talked about living the situation (smell, sight, taste...) The sound of waves is very comforting and I am on the searching mode as I start to look closely at everything around.

It was a very hot sticky afternoon where I became immersed in the salty smell and taste as I drew on from my discoveries. This feeling is unique and also so important. I would like to record the sound of the sea in future; I have seen yoga programmes use them for meditation purposes. Here is what they say about the sound/sight/smell/touch/taste:

It`s connected with how we perceive external information. We get about 90% of information with the help of our eyes (visual type of perception); 9% – with the help of our ears (sound perception), and only 1% of it we take from other sense organs (touch, taste, smell).
So, if we turn on the sounds of the seashore, lie down on the bed, and close our eyes (thereby turning off 90% of visual perception), we will find ourselves on the sea…

Such audiolization improves your mood and sleep, calms down your nervous system, and helps fight with stress and depression. Listening to these sounds you can get a massage, sleep or meditate.

Interesting idea to think on and as they say: “The earth has music for those who listen.” ― George Santayana
