โDon't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Spending time at the beach has been shown to activate the Parasympathetic side of your Nervous System, which produces a feeling of relaxation and calm in the mind and body ๐ผ
Itโs amazing, but true: there is a neurological system in your body that you can trigger at will to help yourself feel less stressed, at ease, and happier.
The vagus nerve is a key part of your parasympathetic nervous system. Itโs also the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. It runs from the brain through to the abdomen.
It influences your breathing, digestive function and heart rate, all of which can have a huge impact on your mental health.
Breathing deeply immediately relaxes the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, which in turn, shuts off the 'fight or flight' reflex by calming the sympathetic side of your nervous system

Take a moment to activate the Parasympathetic wing of the Autonomic Nervous System by way of full, deep breaths:
๐ On the inhale, fill your lungs fully, hold for a few seconds or so, and then e x h a l e s l o w l y.
Exhaling slowly is the key to stimulating the vagus nerve and reaching a state of relaxation.
๐ Do this 3-5 times for immediate results
Other ways to naturally stimulate the Vagus Nerve are:
1. Cold Showers & Swims โ๏ธ๐ฟ
2. Singing & Humming
3. Exercise ๐คธโโ๏ธ

Water, oh water!
move through me
unbroken
Let my body be your bed
my naked feet your boat
your current my wild
your stillness my sacred
my breath your
unspoken.

Your Sanctuary Awaits
Perched high atop Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island, nestled among the trees, you will find our special sanctuary. We welcome guests from all over the world to cosy up by the fire with a good book and a cup of tea, or simply get lost in the sweeping 180 degree views of Active Pass, stretching all the way from Whistler to Mount Baker. Drift off to sleep in your own little nest among the Cedar & Arbutus. After a quiet & peaceful nightโs sleep, awake refreshed in the serenity of the forest, surrounded by natural light and fresh air.
