My new story on forest bathing is up on @iamwellandgood's homepage this morning ??. Forest bathing helped me to clear my whole heart & mind.

You know that moment when you’re hiking in peace, and you can feel your soul and heart beating with bliss? That’s shinrin yoku. The Japanese feel as if they’re part of nature; they feel as if they’re one with nature when they connect back to the woods. What a soothing and spiritually deep practice for us to engage in and to connect back to our roots, to feel more energy, more love, more light.
Shinrin yoku, which translates to “forest bathing,” is the Japanese practice of walking through a forest to clean your soul and to cleanse your spirit. No sweat, no trail running—simply contemplation between the trees. Shinrin yoku isn’t a brisk hike; it’s a slower-paced walk. It’s about observing and being aware of what is surrounding us.

My mom, who’s Japanese, started to take me to Japan when I was a small, five-year-old kindergartener. The quiet bamboo forests, the walks in the parks, the appreciation of taking care of nature, the hanami flower viewing: It all found a place in my heart. It’s now an honor and a pleasure to be sharing my heritage with each of you, as a form of Japanese inspiration.

My life’s greatest healer (and I’m still working on it!) is nature, along with my heritage.
This gift of shinrin yoku, even when I was at my lowest of lows, is the gift of being able to walk within the trees. It was, and is, what heals me. I know myself better when I come back from a hike, for my soul has been cleansed and my spirit renewed.

Here, I’d like to share the history of Japanese forest bathing, how it’s changed my life, and could potentially do the same for you. Please read the full story on well + good, click link in bio ♥️♥️♥️♥️love you xx
