Hear it, feel it, become it, the sounding ebb and flow
of ocean tides, the sea, and the delight of moving waters. The rushing sound of
the shifting sands below your feet, the gentle waves, the high cresting waves
sound, and we are embraced by a vibratory splendor, a deep breath, a sigh, a
welcomed sense of BEING.
Since ancient times we have accounts of the healing
and transformational properties of water.
In Ayurvedic, ancient Indian medicinal wisdom, and traditional Chinese
medicine, the water element is crucial to balancing and creating, physical
harmony. Rivers, with their flow and sounding waters, have long been regarded
as sacred places.
At water’s edge the sound is simplified. It calls to
our breath. A feeling of calm, a centeredness, a letting go ensues as our
inhalation and exhalation move in resonance with the moving and sounding
waters. Our breath in harmony with the sounding ebb and flow brings feelings of
deep relaxation and renewal.
The sound of sea waves held by seashells holds a
special delight and fascination. It wasn’t until my adult years that I learned
that what we hear in seashells is the flow of our own blood. Indeed a sacred
accord. Within we hold the roar, the sounding of our life giving flow. At
ocean’s side, the moving waters of earth and the flow of life’s waters within
rejoice in resonance.
The echo of the sea, its ebb, its flow, fills the
cambers of the nautilus as too, the chambers of our heart, the pulsing, the
cresting, ever the sounding sea within. As you put a seashell next to your ear,
hear the blood surging in your veins, as too, all the waters of Creation. Yes,
the ambient sounds of the sea, sing, speak, sigh and echo all that breathes,
all that flows. When a seashell reflects back our inner unceasing rhythmic
pulse, our inner sounding, we are in commune with the sounding sea, the
whisperer of secrets, the primordial murmurings of the universe.
Listen to the waters of oceans, seas, rivers, streams,
and springs. Feel the ambient accord, this breathing, this pulsing call to
life.
