AT THE PILE OF STONES

BLUE MIND
With the River chess mills long gone, a new industry is pervading life in the 21st century
digital culture. The technological revolution has changed the way we use our time and the
demands put upon it. Mental health is a widely recognised condition to arise from the frenetic
pace of modern living. with 1 in 4 adults in the UK experiencing mental health issues each
year.
According to NHS England, green environments can reduce stress, fatigue, anxiety and
depression. Contact with nature has a positive impact on heart rate and blood pressure.
Greenness in residential areas and the use of natural places for recreation are linked with
lower levels of cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. Treatments such as tree-bathing,
meditation and aromatherapy, which were once met with scepticism, are now commonplace.
Scientists are now also quantifying the positive cognitive and physical effects of water.
According to Dr Wallace J Nichols, marine biologist and author of Blue Mind, being close to
water can bring about a meditative state that makes us happier, healthier, calmer and more
creative.
Water is considered the elixir and source of life. This deep biological connection has been
shown to trigger an immediate response in our brains when near water and can induce a
flood of neurochemicals that promote wellness, increase blood flow to the brain and heart and
induce relaxation.
