Shinrin Yoku: The Art of Japanese Forest Bathing
Shinrin Yoku: The Art of Japanese Forest Bathing | Yoshifumi Miyazak
1 post | 2 read
Shinrin Yoku or 'forest bathing' was developed in Japan in the 1980s and brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting edge environmental health science. There are now forest bathing stations and walkways scattered throughout Japan, although the good news is that we can all benefit from this simple practice. Simply put, forest bathing is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on stress levels, positive feelings, energy levels and even promote the activity of NK (anticancer) cells and the balancing of blood sugar levels and blood pressure. In this wonderful book, by the leading expert in the field, science meets nature and mindfulness, as we are encouraged to bathe in the trees and become observers of both the nature around us and the goings on of our own minds.

Morning tea, reading, and journaling on the patio. I‘ve been saving these gifts from @wanderinglynn until it started to feel like Fall. It is still summer in Wisconsin, but the mornings are becoming cooler. Fall is near! 🍁 🌲 ✍️ ☕️
