Science Behind It
Water ripples have a profound effect on our nervous system. The combination of visual patterns and gentle sounds can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the "rest and digest" response. Research has shown that watching water movements can lower heart rate and blood pressure, while the rhythmic nature of ripples can help reach a more relaxed state. This multi-sensory experience leverages these natural calming mechanisms of our brain.
