Why choose A Boat?
I believe in Blue mind science.
Very simply put, its the study of how aquatic environments can influence our feelings in the here and now.
The inclusion of water into the therapeutic environment has subtle but scientifically proven, positive effects on our mental well-being. If you’re seeing red, feeling angry, anxious, and stressed, simply observing the movement of water causes our minds to calm. This has numerous benefits for contributing to lowering depression, lowering stress levels, anxiety, and promotes better mental clarity and sleep patterns.
There are an increasing number of studies by recognized institutes that support this and continue to investigate it further.
- Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and search "Blue Health"
- ecehh.org/research/bluehealth to see how Exeter University is conducting an EU research program on Blue Health benefits
- James Hutton Institute where the aim of this project was to aid consideration in policy and practices linked to well-being and water
