What is forest bathing?
The Japanese practice of forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku (森林ーよく), is a method of ecotherapy where you immerse yourself in nature and connect with the sights, sounds, and energies around you to reduce stress levels, boost immunity, and improve overall wellbeing.
Despite the name, you don’t need to be in an actual forest to experience the benefits of this practice. Forest bathing can be as simple as walking in any natural environment and consciously connecting with your surroundings.
While forest bathing, you can quietly observe nature, breathe deeply, and take in the forest environment through your senses. Research has shown that nature-based mindfulness practices like forest bathing can lead to meaningful health benefits that can improve your quality of life and longevity.
