I have been walking into the forest last 4 weeks at least 3-4 times per week. Most of the time I left my phone at home. Try not to distract from anything.
According to Dr. Qing Li from Japan, Forest Bathing (shinrin-yoku ) helps you ease your stress, relax and think more clearly.
What’s Forest Bathing? Pretty much: Feel the forest with your five senses. Listening to the birds, Looking different shades of greens and branches, Smelling the fragrance of plants, Tasting freshness of air with every breath and Touching the trees or laying down on the ground.
I was mostly going to the forest for hiking. After today, I’ll stop more and take a longer bath in the forest:)
