The beach was my special place growing up in Southern California. The picture below is one my mom gave me when I was young and always said it was of the two of us walking arm in arm. Oh how I miss her! I mostly went to the beach at sunset where I could walk along with a beautiful sunset, cool breeze, and the waves rolling in and out to calm my soul. It always seemed to bring me back to my happy place!
Who would have imagined that 36 years later, I would be working as a massage therapist specializing in CranioSacral therapy, where I connect to others rhythms multiple times a day and feel that same wave rolling up and down their spine creating health patterns in their lives.
Not only does walking on the beach offer relaxation and is a great exercise, it also helps to therapeutically ground you and exfoliate your feet. Jeremy and I had the opportunity to visit San Diego last weekend and spent time walking the beach each day. This is why we chose walking on the beach as our week 4 Health Gratitude Challenge theme in creating our healthiest selves.
