The sound of the sea is therapeutic. The white noise of waves breaking on the shore or rocks helps to relax our brains and helps stimulate the production of chemicals in our brain, including feel-good chemical serotonin and dopamine. <em>This is according to William Dorfman, of Nova Southeastern University, Florida.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-280748 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.ilfracombecarlton.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_204054559-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ilfracombecarlton.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_204054559-980x654.jpg 980w, http:\/\/www.ilfracombecarlton.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_204054559-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Connecting with the Earth<\/h3>\n<p>Walking barefoot along the sand creates a great connection with the Earth and its roots.
