Shinrin-Yoku: The Healing Art of Forest Bathing

By Oliver Luke Delorie

Book Overview

Discover a slow, mindful way of walking that heals the soul and mends the heart--and let all your senses bathe in the pleasures that the forest has to offer.

Heal yourself by connecting deeply with nature. Fill your lungs with fresh forest air, which has cancer-fighting chemicals called phytoncides that can lower blood pressure, decrease levels of stress, and reduce muscle tension. With 75 inspirational quotes, this guide teaches you how to benefit from what the Japanese call "the medicine of the forest" by leaving the hustle and bustle behind and soaking up the silence. Through focusing on the things you see and hear, staying aware of your environment, and being present in the moment, you'll improve your health and well-being.
