Be Calmer — Listening to a Calm River

The sounds of nature can have a very relaxing effect and can be used to calm our minds when we feel very agitated. Among the various nature sounds, the sounds of water are the favorites of most people to achieve this effect.

I invite you to try this relaxing effect of the sounds of a river to experience some moments of relaxation and reduce stress. We can use this nature calm music for relaxation as a tool to create new moments of pause in our daily rush.

We can use this these soothing sounds in different ways to accomplish different goals and transform several occasions into moments of relaxation.

Relax 5 minutes

We can use this duration as a theme for a short 5-minute break. We can close our eyes and focus all of our attention on the sound of the river’s water flowing along its path.

No rush, no worries, the river’s water finds its way. It follows naturally, without fear of what may come along, without fear of what will appear, sure that it will be able to overcome any obstacle and find a way out.

Without forcing the way, just following the natural flow of life, always finding a natural way to proceed. A fluid movement of nature that can serve as an inspiration for our attitudes.

Relax 15 minutes

We can use this longer duration of this calm river stream as something that accompanies us, while doing a little meditation, for example. Either while we wait for someone who is about to arrive at our home or for a meeting elsewhere, at the beginning of an event we are going to attend, or while we wait for our turn to be seen at a doctor’s office.

Relax 30 minutes

In this longer duration, we can use this sound as if it were a companion, as a sound background that accompanies us while we do a certain task. If it is a task that usually occupies us for approximately the same time, we can even use this version as a way to control the time we are spending on that task. It will be a much smoother and more pleasant way to do it than using too aggressive alerts from our mobile phone, for example.

Relax 1 hour

For those who can already do longer meditations, this duration can be very useful for that purpose. We can also use it as a sound background atmosphere while doing a task or taking a break, while reading a book, etc. You can also use it as a sound that accompanies you while you travel, on the way to work, or when you return home, for example. It can be a good way to decompress during the trip and to be able to get home calmer.

We can also use it while writing an article, as I am doing right now, with this background sound.

Relax 3 hours

This duration can be used as background music to work or study, for example. Listening to nature sounds while doing our tasks can be a way to reduce the stress that these tasks cause us. At the same time, as the sounds of nature are not a strong stimulus, we will increase our degree of concentration on these tasks and be more productive.

Some people who suffer from insomnia or who have difficulty falling asleep also find in the sounds of nature a good resource to help them. If that is your case, if you have difficulty falling asleep, you can try to start listening to these sounds sometime before going to bed, to relax.

Try this nature calm music for relaxation in different situations of your day. Find out if this relaxing nature sounds can be one more resource you can use to become a calmer person.
