What is it about summer vacations that makes us long for them in the dead of winter? Is it the crash of the ocean? The serenity of a lake? The quiet hustle of a river? The gentle conversation that can flow freely during any of the previously mentioned experiences? We’re thinking it’s exactly ALL of these things that create a relaxing, invigorating, battery-charging kind of experience that we daydream about throughout the remainder of the year. And if we as healthy adults can be recharged from memories of summertime waterside living, think of what gentle crashes of water might do for people whose health is less than perfect! Creating positive emotions in a traumatized being of any kind is certain to lift mood, raise spirits, and increase energy. These three mental improvements are key to recovery. Add the outdoor ambiance, plant life, and nurturing sunshine and water gardening is the perfect recipe for a speedy recovery.

Imagine if it were doctors orders to go straight home and sit by a waterfall for at least one hour each day! For some time, audio and visual sounds have been known to reduce stress and speed recovery from psychological trauma. The natural trickle of water flowing whether fast or slow, large or small, is perceived by patients as a pleasant natural sound. During recovery from psychological trauma, patients found pleasant natural sounds to aide in their recovery as compared to those who received urban noise interactions and remained stressed for longer periods of time.

Water sounds calm our brains. Calm beings operate better in daily routine tasks as well as impulsive unforeseen interactions. Stress management is the number one recommended way to instantly improve your health, no matter what your condition. Ailing cancer patients, heart attack survivors, sedentary individuals, and every single person in between can all benefit from stress management. And training in, some form of, relaxation or meditation is high on the list of no-impact mental exercise. In fact there are countless sources recommending ‘involvement in nature’ and ‘any form of relaxation’ as number(s) one and two on the list of ways to manage stress. We can think of a couple ways to relax with nature! Let us know if you’re interested in relaxing 365 days a year.
