Forest Bathing.⁠ I sooo love this beautiful Japanese practice called Shinrin-yoku which is all about mindfully and slowly walking in nature. Highly therapeutic with mental, emotional and physical benefits, and what I love about it is, that the less manicured and the more wild the garden, the more the spirits are heightened. Happy forest bathing!⁠ ⁠ #abigailahern #myaastyle #shinrinyoku #forestbathing #forestbathe #calmingnature #nature #getoutinnature #mindful #mindfulness #trees #interiordesigntips #interiordesignhowto #interiordesign #homedecor #decorideas #homestyle #autumnvibes #cosyseason #cosyspaces #warminteriors #seasonalshift #autumnnewness #newness #newcollection #moderntraditional #softminimalism #myhomevibe #livingroominspo #interiorism

Go hug a tree. I am serious. There is science behind why standing barefoot in the grass or wrapping your arms around the trunk of a tree makes you feel like you can breathe again. Trees release phytoncides, airborne compounds that literally lower your cortisol levels, calm your nervous system, and boost your immune function. Researchers in Japan have studied this for decades. They call it Shinrin-yoku. Forest bathing. And it works. But here is what the research does not fully capture. Trees carry electrical signals that pulse in the same low frequency range as a calm, meditative human brain. When you press your hands into bark, when you slow down long enough to actually feel a living thing beneath your palms, something shifts. You are not just touching a tree. You are borrowing its frequency. They are also far older and more patient than we are. They have lived through storms, droughts, and seasons of nothing. When you bring your grief, your confusion, your exhaustion to them, they do not flinch. They hold it with you. Talk to them. Yes, really. Nature is not a backdrop to your healing. It is a participant in it. #ForestBathing #Shinrinyoku #HugATree #NatureHeals #healing

As the forest breathes, the fungi bloom — quietly, beautifully, with purpose. Every mushroom tells a story of connection, regeneration, and wonder. In the stillness of the woods, these fantastic fungi remind us that life is always unfolding beneath the surface. ✨ #FantasticFungi #MushroomMagic #ForestBathing

Did you know that walking in a forest might do more than just clear your head—it could help your body fight cancer? We can all transform our health & help fight off cancer paying more attention to Vitamin N - Nature! 🌿 I promised myself the day I came home from my mastectomy following my breast cancer diagnosis that I would get outside every single day of my life from that point forward. No exceptions... Come rain or shine no matter how I'm feeling. 🌿Trees don’t just give us oxygen—they give us life-enhancing, immune-boosting chemicals called phytoncides. These natural compounds, released by trees like pines and oaks, have been shown to increase our Natural Killer (NK) cell activity—cells that seek out and destroy cancerous or infected cells. This is at the heart of the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku or “Forest Bathing”, which is now backed by science. But it gets better... Some of the most powerful chemotherapy drugs we use today are actually derived from trees: Taxol, from the Pacific Yew Tree, is a frontline breast and ovarian cancer drug. Camptothecin, from the Chinese Happy Tree, has given rise to medications like Irinotecan used to treat colorectal cancer. Nature is not just beautiful. It's powerful. And healing. Even gazing at green spaces has been shown to reduce stress hormones and speed recovery—nature therapy is real therapy. Let’s also talk about mistletoe—yes, the festive one! Used widely across Europe, mistletoe extract is being studied for its complementary role in oncology, especially during chemotherapy. It's believed to support immune function, reduce treatment side effects, and improve quality of life. Read more in Dr. Nasha Winters’ groundbreaking book "Mistletoe" and explore the work of Dr. Elizabeth Thompson at the National Centre for Integrative Medicine in Bristol.

Nature’s medicine is available to us, always. The many answers we seek have always been quite simple and the codes to much of our healing lay in the miraculous properties of Earth and sky. Whether directly or indirectly, our physiological responses to external experiences, can be assisted by nature itself. Our neurology shifts as we reconnect with the source that sustains us—the source that mirrors our very existence. Research conducted on the practice of forest bathing has shown that—through measuring heart rate variability—our biology responds in different ways when exposed to urban or natural environments. When immersed in nature, heart rate and blood pressure decrease, which then decreases the antibiotic response of stress hormones on the gut. And the health of our body is not only affected by the food we are consuming, but is equally responsive to whether we are exposing ourselves to nature or not. The intelligence of our gut is yearning for reconnection to the Earth as nature has always been its foundation. Our bodies and minds are not broken; they are responding to an incredibly disconnected, skewed way of life that is foreign to our biology. The state we are currently in on a planetary level is not meant to feel normal—and our physiological and psychological responses are showing us what we must change. Can we look to our body in times of stress, hopelessness, or fear and guide it back to the Earth’s embrace—in whatever capacity is available? This simple act transforms our biology from a state of reactivity to proactivity. And how lucky are we to be alive on a planet that holds an antidote to guide us back to coherence? Returning to nature on a daily basis is radical. For the pollution of our planet on physical and metaphorical levels began first, with the pollution of humanity’s perception of itself in relation to nature. The Earth invites us all to let our biomes breathe with her—not only to heal our biology, but to remember our critical purpose within the experience of life.
