Take a Minute IV: Garden eels (Heteroconger)

It’s time to “Take a Minute” again and to broaden the perspective on (marine) life with some visual meditation (longer description below). Get into the groove and swing with this relaxed colony of garden eels. Unfortunately, worries and anxieties are on the rise. We do believe that nature is a beautiful way to calm the body and mind and nourish the soul. Luckily, in most countries, you are still allowed to leave the house for a walk in the woods. Our equivalent is a night dive tonight and, same as watching these garden eels dance, it will put a smile on our faces. Garden eels (Heteroconger) are in favour of a sessile lifestyle. They only get out of their house to change over to another burrow. Anchored in their holes in the sand they live in colonies. In calm waters they go about their business, moving in any direction they like. The stronger the current the more they are forced to follow the same approach to conserve energy: Face into current and form their bodies into a question mark. As you can see we had a pretty relaxed end of the dive at the Liberty wreck in Tulamben, Bali (Indonesia), in February 2020. If you can’t get into nature yourself, watch some more of our underwater clips, nature documentaries or put on some music to sing and dance your troubles away. After home office makes time for some home disco! There is an added bonus to both of these approaches. Hopefully, they put a smile on your face. A psychological study has shown that holding a smile during brief and acute periods of stress helps to reduce the body’s stress response, such as a higher heartbeat (https://www.verywellmind.com/beat-str.... For this effect to work the person doesn’t even have to feel happy, though we truly hope to smile in times of social distance actually contributes to everybody’s health and happiness. And the best: Smiling is contagious! Clip series: In this video series, we invite you to “Take a Minute” to relax and refresh your mind and soul with visual meditation. Take a 1-minute break from whatever you are doing to immerse yourself in the beauty of our blue planet. For this minute, Yoeri selects one long shot to allow you to fully focus on one creature, cultural site, land- or seascape. Dive into the scene, feel the energy, open your heart, connect to the subject, look for details or simply get carried away! Be here now. Take this one minute to fully be there, instead of analysing the past or planning the future. It is quite interesting to see how long and relaxing one minute can be as soon as we stay in that moment - fully aware, fully present, fully relaxed. Observing one long scene, in contrary to the bombardment of pictures, news and fast cuts we are getting on a daily basis, helps to calm us down, to ground and centre us. Sometimes all it takes is 1 minute to recharge. We start off with an underwater reef shot because diving is our form of active meditation. Underwater we find happiness in the present moment. There are so many healing and soothing factors to the ocean. There is so much we love about diving and nature. #smile #relax #meditation #TakeaMinute #diving #body #mind #soul #gardeneel #Indonesia #bali #nature #smile #happiness #health #underwater
