Hot tubbing

My mom adores the hot tub at our local pool and likes to go whenever she gets a chance.  Since I have a bad back, I’ve been trying to go more often to help soothe those muscles.  I’ve found that it actually turns out to be a good place for conversations, as the heated water swirls around you.  In fact, my mom and I have discussed many an important thing while soaking there, from my thoughts of moving out of the house to our viewpoints on life issues.  Surprisingly, we’ve had great exchanges and I’ve revealed more of myself than I ever have before.  I guess relaxation of the body brings about relaxation of the mind, so my thoughts come out more readily.

There’s something about water that is really soothing, and great for thoughts and inspiration.  The potential reasons are many, but the result is undeniable – people tend to relax more and think better when surrounded by water.  For me, it’s the sort of peace and tranquility I get from it.  It’s nice to just close my eyes, sink back, and let the water support me.  Maybe it’s because my thoughts are “swimming” around in my head and the water helps me let them pour out.  It could be just as simple as the fact that so much of us is composed of water and we developed in fluid that we feel a deep connection with it.  Who really knows?  I do believe it works though, and that’s what matters most.

So, what are your reasons?
