Description
Forest Bathing, or Forest Therapy, started in Japan as a preventative health care program to support well-being, relaxation, and nervous system restoration.
Forest Bathing, or Shrinrin Yoku as it is known in Japanese, is a relatively recent practice that began in Japan in the 1980s. However, Forest Bathing is also an ancient practice. It is a re-introduction to ways of being that our ancestors lived and breathed.
Unlike a typical walk, Forest Bathing is a slow, immersive exploration of the forest. Participants are guided through mindful interaction with Nature in a way that engages the senses and calms the mind.
Even those who may struggle with meditation can experience the rejuvenative state of clarity, spaciousness, wonder, awe and gratitude that arises when we slow down to connect with the world around us.
Research has shown that Forest Bathing sessions can:
– Boost your immunity for up to three weeks
– Reduce inflammation, fatigue, and insomnia
– Lower blood pressure
– Reduce anxiety, depression and stress
– Increase creativity, alertness and focus
