Entering a Blue Mind State

A Blue Mind as described by Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, PHD,

“A mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peace, unity and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life in the present moment.”

Your journey’s mission is to return to balance, to a state of equilibrium. Recent events in the world have tipped the scales towards fear placing the mind in a highly reactive state. A chronic state of perceived fear reeks havoc on the mind which manifests itself in the body. In some cases the effects of stress are immediate; low energy, headaches, aches, pains, insomnia. However in many cases, the emotional trauma of global events reside deeper in the subconscious mind. To help you return to a state of balance we have provided a safe haven for the mind, an opportunity to stop the chatter, release the doubt and fears to return to a Blue Mind through a reconnection to nature, to water thus allowing for an alternative perspective to emerge.

As we understand that much of what is going on today feels completely out of our control we’ve taken the time to address the unknowns of travel during the time of Covid. While we can’t remove all the underlying fears, we have addressed the uncertainties of being in a foreign land, of being out at sea and most of all feeling vulnerable. We’ve painstakingly designed a journey in the time of the Coronavirus with the intent of recharging your emotional resilience to help you feel stronger to address uncertainties that may lie ahead.

Traveling at sea aboard a private cruising vessel where you choose who is traveling with you, allows you to experience all of nature’s beauty safely without the stress of travel with unknown individuals. We’ve removed many of the points of uncertainty to give space to the stunning blue waters, to the soothing sounds of the wind all working in harmony telling your Mind to Relax.

An opportunity for reflection, perspective and social distancing without all the negative side effects. You become one with the sea socially distant yet emotionally connected.

Why does Water and Water sounds have such a powerful effect on our brain?

Our brains interpret the noises we hear — both while awake and in the dead of night — as either threats or non-threats.The sound of the wind or the water gently lapping up against the vessel are non-threatening sounds.

"These slow, whooshing noises are the sounds of non-threats, which is why they work to calm peo

ple," said Orfeu Buxton, an associate professor of bio-behavioral health at Pennsylvania State University.

Reducing cortisol levels in the brain is the key component to achieving a meditative mind state.
