Have you fallen asleep to the sound of rain or flowing water? So soothing isn’t it? Have you ever wondered why that is?
According to author Wallace Nichols, seeing and hearing water releases a bunch of neurochemicals in your brain that promote wellness, and your blood flow increases to both your heart and brain, which creates an immediate feeling of relaxation. So when you find yourself feeling overly stressed out and anxious in your day-to-day life, practice some self-care and go spend a day, or even just a few hours, in a spot that has a natural water element to it.
Today, we will listen to Eli Abela read a portion of the book Sensitive Chaos by Theodore Schwenk. The background rain you will hear is the soothing sound of rain from the city of Pasig. The sound will definitely calm you.
