The Art of Shinrin Yoku: Forest Bathing in the Canadian Rockies | SmarterTravel
Channel: SmarterTravel
Date: 2020-01-16

Unplug with SmarterTravel editor Ashley Rossi as she experiences the therapeutic Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku, or forest bathing. The steps of Shinrin Yoku are designed to help you take in the forest, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase your sense of interconnectedness with the natural world.

While each experience is personal and unique, this forest bathing session (designed to take travelers through the beautiful landscape of the Canadian Rockies) consisted of five invitations:

1. Sensing - Awaken the senses
2. Movement - Reset your executive function, smelling and touching
3. Find a Treasure - Create a sense of timelessness
4. Befriend a Tree - Meditate with a tree and breath in its oxygen
5. Tea Ceremony - Take in the forest by ingesting it

Special thanks to Ronna Schneberger of Forest Fix for hosting this session.
