Spending time in the water, particularly the ocean, is so soothing for me. I am instantly calmer, clearer, and more grounded. My Dosha (Ayurvedic constitution) tends to be Vata (air) and water is one of those elements that has assisted me in dropping down a notch when I need to.
We spent Saturday on Lopez Island (one of Washington’s San Juan Islands), and although I did not even realize I was seeking that grounding force when we began our journey, I knew as soon as I was at home in the sea. Swimming with my man and my dog, lying in the sun with wave-smoothed stones in my hands, I felt transported deeper into my own being. And I am so grateful for that.
This summer has been filled with so much joy, and even that can be a bit disorienting. Thankfully, I found my path back to that strong center.
What’s your path back to center?
{We swam out to that rock-island. It was a magical place.}
Blessings.
