Your Nature Connection Guide
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) is a mindfulness practice in nature that originated in Japan and now it has arrived in county Wicklow, Ireland.
The name refers to bathing yourself in the forest atmosphere through all of your senses. So don't worry, you don’t have to go into water to forest bathe! Instead, you focus on what you can see, hear, smell, touch and taste. It's all about slowing down, getting out of your head and into your body. As a forest bathing guide, I will take you on a short and slow walk to help you to connect with nature and yourself. After a forest bathing walk you will feel more relaxed, less stressed and recharged. Scientific studies show that forest bathing has lots of health benefits. Read more...
