Forest Bathing: A Restorative Moment in my Favorite Forest for Forest Therapy
Channel: Growing Joy with Maria
Date: 2020-11-04

Today's video is a bit different: It's snapshots of my favorite parts of a local forest walk that I take to unwind and relieve stress. I have done a deep dive into the concept of Forest Bathing (the Japanese Art of Shinrin Yoku), and the good that nature and being in the forest can do for us. Forest Bathing can be amazing for simply clearing our head, but is proven to reduce stress and many physical ailments we struggle with.

Either watch this video or play it in the background of your work day to enjoy the beautiful sounds of the forest: crickets, birds, leaves rustling in the wind- forest music!

This week is stressful for many of us, so I hope this video brings you 6 minutes in your day you can take to reset, take a few deep breaths and recenter. 

Let me know if you practice Forest Bathing and if this video helped.

The book I refer to in the video is Forest Bathing by Dr Qing Li- (amazon affiliate link) https://amzn.to/36R3xuA
