And the serenity of the sea gives to our minds a complete break.
It induces us to an almost meditative state. It has been shown that the hum of the sea, causes changes in our brain waves. It stimulates alpha waves, which have been linked to an effortless state of attention: the state we know as mindfulness. These waves also stimulate a state of mental lucidity and encourage creative thinking. The feeling is like the time stops.
The sea once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
