Breath Hold

There's just this magical feeling behind free diving.

Smoothly inhaling in and out at the surface while looking down into the depths of the ocean as you are preparing your lungs for the plunge.

Taking that one last breath and descending into a marvelous unknown. The deeper you go, the more pressure you feel. Causing you to have to adjust your body to your surroundings, equalizing to every level of depth...neutralizing yourself into that environment.

The Goal is to reach the bottom of the ocean - To be able to touch the sand and feel it slide between your fingers.. To become one with all marine life.

Oh the enchanting feeling of reaching the bottom and looking up into the surface. Seeing the texture of the waves as the rays of light penetrate the surface and diminish as they reach your depths . Perhaps you’re watching schools of fish swim by like you are indeed one of them.

Only making you realize that you have now entered a different world- & in that brief but impactful moment everything up there becomes so small... Including all of your worries, your pain and sorrow, every problem that you face on land stands so peacefully still. Allow yourself to become one with the ocean. Feel the pressure and let the whole world gravitate towards you. It gives one such a sense of power and an adrenaline rush that translates into pure bliss.

So overwhelmed by the beauty forgetting that you indeed need to breathe. Your lungs are calling and it is about that time you head back. As you begin to ascend, you feel lighter, perhaps its because of the lack of oxygen in your body, or perhaps its your body leaving such a magical place behind.

But you take comfort in knowing that you'll meet again, and again... until you can't hold your breath any longer😌❤
