I absolutely love the beach and being there makes me feel so calm, peaceful, relaxed and happy.
After my last trip to the beach - where we had the balcony door open every night to listen to the waves all night long - I felt the need to find some wave sounds to have at home.
I found a really great mp3 to download instantly called Midnight Surf - over an hour and fifteen minutes of soothing waves. I then copied it to a cd and played it in my little bedside boombox on repeat all night long.
So the other night I was meditating and visualizing being at the beach and I thought - you know, I'm going to play the waves. Then a little bit later I thought, I need beachy smells.
(Which made me wonder if there was a true beachy scent available. I did research the next day and I think I may have found a winner. I will update on that once the fragrance arrives.)
The best thing I had available was some suntan lotion. So I sniffed on that and listened to the waves and got into my head as well.
I really thinking using as many senses as possible helps to feel what you are visualizing so much more. I personally am not great at visualization so any boosts with my other senses helps enormously.
Next I will get some sand and stick my toes in the sand as I visualize. Offhand, I can't think of any foods that make me think of the beach. Hmmm, maybe a pina colada! Yeah!
So my next visualization of the beach will include: touch (sand), taste (pina colada), sound (waves cd), smell (suntan lotion or that fragrance if it's any good) and of course my inner sight/mind's eye.
I did just make a little "mind movie" with the wave sounds and images of the beach. That's over in the My Universe page.
