I think one of the most exciting ways to make the connection is to experience free diving. It's somewhat surreal as you connect all the dots - your body is excellent in water, far beyond what could be described as coincidental. Without much practice, you learn to do things with muscles you didn't know you had, regulate air pressure, calm your nerves, etc. You get to connect with a part of your biology that is often totally overseen in regular life. And the experience is quite beautiful. It's really like visiting another world, to me. It's almost elating to describe. Being in the sea, quiet, relaxed, taking it all in - there's nothing I crave more, really. If it's snowing and the water is 4°C, I'll still hop in. It's invariably worth the time.
