Being in nature has a positive impact on our well-being. It reduces stress, refreshes our mind, and helps us relax. It gives us energy, vitality, and relieves worries. This feeling is hard to describe, but it has been recognized for centuries.

In Japan, they practice forest bathing, which means immersing oneself in the forest atmosphere. It’s not about exercise or hiking, but about connecting with nature through our senses. By opening our senses, we bridge the gap between ourselves and the natural world.

To unlock the power of the forest, we need to engage our five senses. Listen to the sounds of birds and rustling leaves. Look at the different shades of green and sunlight filtering through the trees. Smell the forest’s fragrance. Taste the freshness of the air as you breathe deeply. Touch the trees and feel the earth beneath your feet. By doing this, we connect with nature and experience a sense of joy and calm.

Forest bathing can be done anywhere with trees, regardless of the weather. It can be in a park or even your own garden. Just find a place with trees and start immersing yourself in nature.
