For centuries, people have assigned spiritual properties to the oceans. In addition to a plethora of ocean-related deities, many cultures and faiths have celebrated the sea as a place of renewal. Today, people still view the beach as a source of spiritual enrichment. From meditation to weddings to the disposal of ashes at sea, the ocean continues to bring humans as sense of serenity. In fact, the simple act of viewing an ocean sunset is as inspirational as ever for people. Do you believe the ocean contains spiritual properties? Has the ocean ever inspired you in any way?
