It is clear that our bodies still recognize nature as our home....

'Forest bathing' or shinrin-yoku is a way of walking in the woods that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting-edge environmental health science.

Simply put, forest bathing is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on positive feelings, stress hormone levels, parasympathetic nervous activity, sympathetic nervous activity, blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity.

In this wonderful book, by the leading expert in the field, science meets nature, as we are encouraged to bathe in the trees and become observers of both the environment around us and the goings on of our own minds.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Lots of science, maybe too much but I guess they had to show the information given was legit.
Some interesting and cool information, But lots of inspiring stories about places in Japan.
"Forrest meditation," "Forrest yoga" and things you could do at home to get similar results.

My only minor complaint was that I was not a fan of the narrator's voice or heavy British accent.

A terrific audiobook nonetheless.

Educational and Inspiring
