Brain break in the water's edge. A fish breaks the surface of the lake and puts rings in the water, while four people stand and dig at the shore. "How deep should it be?" Asks Kaya Molsted. (second from right) "Just so your feet are well covered." Replies Charlotte Vestergaard, (number four from the right) who, together with her husband Hilbert Andersen, (far right) is developing a nature-guided meditation that ends with a grounding exercise at the lake. "The combination of grounding and the sounds and life of the lake helps turn your head off and just be present in the present." Says Charlotte.

The couple is affiliated with Myrup Bakkehus, which is a therapy and retreat house. They hope to use the idea to help mentally vulnerable young people. That's why Charlotte has asked Kaya and her friend Anna Jakobsen (far left) if they want to try the idea.

In recent years research has been conducted around the world about the impact that water areas has on the human psyche, and in New Zealand a team of researchers in 2016 proved that water areas gives a calming effect on humans. In Europe, the project 'Bluehealth' is doing similar research, exploring whether it can strengthen people's mental health when they are exposed to wather areas.
