The Power of Nature 🍃
Did you know that spending time in nature is a form of therapy called ecotherapy?
Forest bathing was a term that emerged in the 1980s from Japan called Shinrin-yoku.
This form of ecotherapy had researchers noting the multiple health benefits. The aim is to slow down and connect with nature and slowly appreciate the forest with your senses and intentional mindfulness. The pleasures of presence.
Forest bathing has been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure, stress levels, decrease cortisol, increase serotonin, increase peaceful and loving feeling states.
Beautiful forests grow in Australia and across the world, and it is important to acknowledge this ancient, wise life force.
I invite you to take the time, out from your schedules and enjoy the outdoors and feel the sublime peace. This is great for kids, families, and the elderly. Spending time in nature is never wasted.
