The sea and healing

[Ray]

Back in Victorian times, the benefits of the sea became fashionable. The arrival of the railways, gave people easy access to the coast, from the industrial heart of Britain. Such practice had originally started in the Georgian period, but it was later that a week by the sea became popular.

To sit by the sea on the Devon coast, is to escape the realities of day to day life. Watching the waves gently touch the shore, appears to give that feeling of release, as if to say, "We've made it", only to relize that such an event, has been happening every second of every day since the beginning of time.

It would seem, that just to sit and relax by the seashore, aids the body to release the tension of life itself. The sound of the sea, has a music all of it's own.
