Blue Mind Theory and Practice
Dr Wallace J Nichols, the author of Blue Mind, has a lot to say about how water can make you happier, more connected and better at what you do.
Red Mind: chronic state of stress, anxiety and overstimulation associated with our modern hectic lives. It is characterised by a restless and overwhelmed mindset.
Blue Mind: state of calm and peace, characterised by feelings of serenity, clarity and relaxation.
When our clients are scuba diving with us, we help them firstly to disconnect from distractions, like emails, texts and social media. We then help them become present in the moment. We assist them to breathe deeply, focusing on the rhythmic flow of their breath. Underwater, we practice mindful diving where we take the time to observe, listen and activate the senses, allowing the tranquility of the ocean to wash away stress, fostering a sense of relaxation and well being.
At Resurface Dive, we help people achieve Blue Mind state and find respite from the demands of modern life. To achieve this we start by encouraging our clients to find opportunities to be near water, whenever they are not scuba diving with us. Whether it is a beach, lake or even a soothing fountain, we actively encourage daily engagement in water based activities, even if its not scuba diving! Swimming, paddling, floating, surfing..…we advocate for all of it!
Living Unfiltered
Resurface Dive helps people to live their lives unfiltered. What does this mean? Living unfiltered is the act of embracing life in its raw and authentic form, without the constraints of societal expectations, self-imposed limitations, or the need to conform to a particular image or standard. Living unfiltered is about being true to yourself and honoring your own unique perspective and individuality.
Scuba diving encourages a raw and authentic experience, enabling individuals to live in the present moment, unencumbered by societal expectations. With each dive, one enters a realm untouched by the constraints of daily life, where filters and facades are shed.
Through our tailored discussions and one-on-one time with our dive clients, we help them attain a certain level of self-awareness and self-acceptance, necessary to live unfiltered. We help our dive clients to embrace the unfiltered beauty of the underwater world and cultivate a deep sense of self-trust and self-compassion. Our coaching conversations help our client divers to get in touch with their own needs, desires and boundaries allowing them to live with passion and purpose.
Dive instruction and coaching from Resurface Dive will allow you to free yourself from the shackles of judgment and conformity and live a life that is aligned with your deepest values and aspirations… a life that is uniquely yours.
