Relaxing at home is a refuge that exists solely to promote health and well being for your mind, body and soul. Your overall health and well-being is affected by your physical, mental, and emotional health. Relaxation is characterized by a reduction or complete absence of muscle activity. Relaxation is incompatible with feelings of worry and anxiety. Relaxation is a skill anyone can learn.

Mind - Water relaxation techniques

• can calm your stress and ease your mind
• can reduce negative responses to stress and help you enjoy a better quality of life.
• are a great way to help your quest for stress management.

Water relaxation isn't just about enjoying a hobby; water relaxation is a process that decreases the wear and tear of life's challenges on your mind and body. Water relaxation you can do on your own, in your own time, in your own soothing and peaceful space or with someone special and close to you. Whether you have a lot of stress in your life or you've got it under control, you can benefit from the relaxation of still or moving water. Start your basic relaxation and begin improving your health, and de-stressing your life with a creatively designed pool, or pool and spa combination.

Body - Doctor supported evidence is available on the qualities of water relaxation and therapy. Water exercise programs (sometimes referred to as pool therapy, hydrotherapy, or aquatic therapy) consist of a variety of aquatic-based exercises that are designed for back pain relief, and to assist in the conditioning and strengthening muscles. Water exercise offers many of the same benefits associated with a land-based exercise program. You can tailor your plan to suit your schedule and comfort level. Water therapy does not dictate that you must swim laps to be beneficial, walk or play in your pool and you are exercising.

 The physical properties of water make it a highly desirable medium in which to exercise to relieve back pain and other injuries. Some of the most important properties of water that make exercise easier are:

• Buoyancy: water counteracts gravity and helps to support your weight in a controlled fashion as you immerse yourself. This can aid the development of improved balance and strength.
• Viscosity: water provides resistance by means of gentle friction, allowing strengthening and conditioning of an injury, while reducing the risk of further injury due to loss of balance.
• Hydrostatic pressure: there are powerful effects produced by hydrostatic pressure that improve heart and lung function, making aquatic exercise a very useful way to maintain and strengthen heart and lung function. This pressure effect also aids in improving muscle blood flow. Water therapy exercise is especially helpful in cases where a land-based exercise program is not possible due to pain. As such, water is a versatile exercise and relaxation medium.

Soul - Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded.
   - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. 1749-1832 Poet/Dramatist

In our earthly life, our soul makes use of the body and its instincts. By caring for our bodies we are nurturing our soul. Nurturing the soul is as important as healthy nutrition, exercising and sleep. The soul’s sole purpose is to create spiritual and emotional growth. The sense of well-being and happiness emanates from the soul to the psyche. If the soul is ignored or malnourished, the psyche and ultimately the body suffers. Water is one of the closest expressions of Spirit. Clean water is essential to health and life on all levels. We take for granted the power, significance and beauty of water. Water can be a potent self-care method for restoring energy and making you more aware of the power of Spirit as it flows through your soul.

Meditation is another way to nourish your soul while relaxing in a soothing spa. Meditation is proven to have physiological benefits, including stress-relief, improved immune and cardiovascular function, relaxation, and decreased pain. Regular meditation practice leads to new insights about life issues (often resulting in the healing of past emotional trauma), heightened creativity, inspiration, greater compassion for others, and a greater connection to one's own inner guidance.
