Deep relaxation: The relaxing rhythm of jellies will help you unwind

Sit back and relax with these soothing jellies. From tiny, delicate drifters, to giant deep-sea denizens, jellies come in a variety of beautiful and mesmerizing forms. There are many different kinds of gelatinous animals in the deep, but here we are featuring the umbrella-shaped animals that swim by pulsing a bell and usually have tentacles trailing behind their mellow flowing movement. ⁠⁠ Most people underestimate the true diversity of this dazzling group of animals. Taxonomically, they are far more varied than a handful of the most common examples used to represent “jellyfish”. See below for a full list of each jelly’s scientific name, observations depth, and location. ⁠ Head over to our channel to watch more meditative videos in our Deep RelaxOcean series: Editor: Kyra Schlining Music: Sleeping and Floating (Motion Array Original) Animals in order of appearance: 00:00 Stygiomedusa gigantea (giant phantom jelly) | depth 1,083 meters (3,553 feet), Monterey Bay 00:25 Solmissus sp.
