A cloudy sky and falling drops are not a reason to be sad and complain about bad weather Walking in the rain is a favorite pastime of romantics and creative people who enjoy the sound of the wind, sparks of lightning and the rumble of thunder Turkish playwright and writer Mehmet Murat Ildan believed that rainfall transforms nature and people He said: “On a sunny, clear day you can improve your body; on a rainy, foggy day you can improve your mind!”
When talking about prolonged bad weather and heavy rain, they use the biblical “the abyss of heaven opened up” But even with the most extreme and frightening manifestations of the elements, the rain will always have fans who are ready to get wet to the skin while walking through the puddles An unusual holiday has been established in honor of this habit Every year on July 18th we celebrate the fun Walking in the Rain Day
Drops falling from the sky onto the trees and green grass give the air a unique aroma The smell of wet soil, called geosmin by chemists, is associated with freshness and cleanliness Just like ozone, which saturates the air after lightning flashes and heavy rainfall Therefore, walking in the rain is not only a romantic activity This is an aromatherapy and sound meditation session at the same time During rain and thunderstorms, the birds become silent, and when it’s over, they begin to sing loudly The sounds of living nature harmonize your inner state, calm you down, and give you a feeling of happiness and peace
Despite the inconvenience that rain causes, good folk omens are associated with it The downpour marks the end of the dark streak and the beginning of a bright future Rain at a wedding promises prosperity and a happy life together, symbolizing the blessing of heaven Its drops are associated with tears shed in advance, which will no longer happen in marriage According to signs, if the rain started during the wedding and lasted for three days, the family will be strong, without quarrels and betrayals
“I love to walk in the rain because no one can see my tears,” said Charlie Chaplin Bad weather with thunder and lightning is a good opportunity to cry and “shout out” your pain without making it public Walking during a rainstorm, when most people are hiding at home, provides an opportunity to enjoy solitude and freedom, allowing you to temporarily distance yourself from society Rain has a beneficial effect on human energy - it helps cleanse the subtle bodies According to Vedic astrology Joytish, a woman should get wet to the skin in a downpour in order to break the connection with her husband’s clan if she is divorced from him
Man has long turned to natural elements, using the power of water for physical healing Walking barefoot through puddles during blind rain is an excellent opportunity to harden the body, feel the mother earth under your feet and feel its power just as our ancestors did thousands of years ago
