Virtual Vacations: A Peaceful Forest Bathing Session | SmarterTravel
Channel: SmarterTravel
Date: 2020-04-17

Close your eyes, take a breath, and leave your bags unpacked - SmarterTravel Media’s new podcast Virtual Vacations invites you to experience the world from your living room, one meditative audio tour at a time. 

Join us as we guide you through the steps of a peaceful forest bathing session. Forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, is the Japanese therapeutic practice of 'taking in the atmosphere of the forest.' Whether you choose to wander the twists and turns of a deep jungle or stroll the well-worn paths of a childhood wood, allow this mindfulness practice to transport to where the air is fresh and the trees reach up toward the sky. We’ve created these audio tours to transport you to inspiring destinations around the world, even when you can’t be there in person. So settle in, close your eyes, and take in the sounds of the forest.

Note that each virtual vacation begins with a short breathing exercise to help you come into the moment and make the most of your virtual vacation.

Virtual Vacations is a podcast from SmarterTravel Media, a member of the Tripadvisor family. This episode was written by Ashley Rossi, Senior Editor at SmarterTravel.com, and produced by Carol McPherson with Executive Producer Heath Alva. This episode was sponsored by Jetsetter.
