Serenity Salon preaches the power of the ocean!
Greetings everyone and welcome to August! The second half of summer has now begun and most people think this month is the best time of the year to hit the beach!
We couldn’t agree more. There is no better way to spend a sunny August afternoon than relaxing on one of PEI’s gorgeous golden sand beaches or one of the red sand beaches that dot the island. The beach however, is more than a fun place to get a tan and go for a dip. The sea is a superb natural healer. Here are a few facts for you about the healing power of the sea:
- The sound – the sound of waves makes you relax.
- The colour – Blue is a calming colour and helps you relieve stress.
- The air – it has a good amount of humidity and salt. It helps keep your skin moisturized.
- The sea water – is similar to “amniotic fluid”. So soaking in the sea makes you relax like a baby in a mother’s tummy. The sea water has salt and a lot of minerals. You can absorb these minerals through the skin. And the salt purifies and detoxifies your body. Soaking your full body in the sea is better but even just putting your feet in is beneficial.
Out here at Serenity Salon we have our own private beach. So if you come here with a friend you can take a walk by the ocean while you wait for your massage. Or if you come on your own please feel free to take a quiet walk after your massage. Just going to the sea will be healing for you.
Have a great August and get to the beach often!
