Description
Our strength lies in being soft like water. This book is about the power we gain by connecting to water. It’s about how we can restore our relationship with the world's different bodies of water, and by doing so, restore both the water and ourselves. By sharing Easkey's own experiences as surfer and marine scientist, as well as those of many of her mentors who are at the forefront of water protection and activism around the world, it guides readers into reimagining the spirituality of water and restoring our innate connection with this lifeblood of the planet.
The book also provides the reader with water-inspired strategies to restore calm, reduce stress and soothe anxiety. These range from simple breathing and visualization exercises to undertaking a journey from a water source to the ocean in order to forge a deep connection with the water. The emphasis is as much on the benefit to water as it is to the individual, and on creating a culture of reciprocity and care. By regaining this lost connection with water, we learn to develop an empathic connection with the force of all life and in the process restore our own hearts and minds.

Ebb and Flow is a wonderful book. It is beautifully written and illustrated . It is inspirational in its message about the power of water in all its forms and our interconnectedness with it but it is also full of practical advice and guidance about how to harness its power and benefits in our daily life.

Very interesting book. It is quite spiritual, more than I usually read, but I really enjoyed it as I love experiencing water. The book is well written, the stories flow well and are accompanied by beautiful drawings. The journaling/thinking exercises are a nice touch.

I am 100% here for a feminist exploration of our relationship with water.
If you read 'The First Woman' by Jennifer Makumbi and found the aspect of women being of the sea interesting, this will help to explore it further.
There is a strand focusing on ecology and a strand focusing on 'blue health' and wellbeing.
This makes sense as the focus is 'the interdependence of your health and the health of water'. If anyone has tried to swim or surf on the English or Welsh coasts recently, this might resonate. If we want to keep enjoying the water, and to have clean water to swim in, ecological concerns are likely to be at the forefront of our minds.
The book includes journaling exercises and invitations to movement practices, alongside visualisations. This means it's not just a read - it's an experience.
