Forest Bathing

An introduction to the Japanese art of shinrin- yoku. 
A practical guide to connecting with a forest environment. 
The perfect antidote to a hectic lifestyle. 

At times of stress, getting out into the natural environment works wonders: it is widely acknowledged to have a calming effect on us both physically and mentally. In Japan, they have a special term for this: shinin yoku,

"forest bathing'.

In this book, Sarah Devos and Katrina Kilpi - true forest fanatics - explain just what forest bathing involves. They provide specific advice on how to approach the concept: where you should go, the best times to choose, what to focus your mind on, and all the things you can expect to experience. Practical activities are also included, with easily-achieved assignments, space in which to note down your observations, and tips on how to integrate the forest even more deeply into your everyday life.
