Marine Mindfulness: Soothing with Sea Creatures 2020

Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium has released new calming resources, including two guided meditation sessions, set to beautiful imagery of marine creatures.

Created for Melbournians who might be struggling with the current lockdown or those seeking a mindful exercise, the new Marine Mindfulness webpage aims to encourage relaxation and help promote calm. According to multiple studies, observing live fish in an aquarium decreases anxiety, enhances relaxation and improves one's mood.

Sea Life Melbourne is offering a 10-minute meditation session focusing on mesmerising moon jellyfish gracefully pulsing through the water as well as a 5-minute session featuring sleek trevally gliding through the 2.2 million litre Oceanarium.

Or join yoga teacher Chloe from Yoga for the Ocean for relaxing yoga sessions in their beautiful Ocean Tunnel. These sessions are also suitable for children.

Marine Mindfulness also features calming slow TV content and coral colouring-in.
