I heard some one talking about this on the radio this morning and it made me smile that they've found walking in a forest can be very healthy for us. Forest bathing is not like going for a hike or walking somewhere on a mission it is to literally bathe in the forest and focus and be mindful of what is around you as it lowers blood pressure and anxiety, so its forest therapy, the medicine of the forest.
I'd never heard of shinrin-yoku so thought I'd share it so here's a link:
The photo just so happens to be in the forest and why aren't I surprised that relaxing in woods is not only good for us physically mentally and the soul...π π π²
I suppose itβs all about being in the moment of your environment. Lol it made me chuckle. If I sat down to seize the moment with Lola in tow she would be jumping all over me! We have a place up the road that does gong bathing. Although I havenβt been but I bet itβs relaxing. I love walking in the woods and as you say itβs great for body, soul and mind.
