Forest Bathing - Shinrin-Yoku

 Nature therapy, sometimes referred to as ecotherapy, describes a broad group of techniques or treatments that uses an individual's presence within nature with the intention of improving an individual's mental or physical health.

 

Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Shinrin in Japanese means “forest,” and yoku means “bath.” So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses.

2.         Slow down.

3.         Take long breaths deep into the abdomen.

4.         Stop, stand or sit, smell what's around you, what can you smell?
