Forest bathing guide
Forest bathing guide.
Do you need a forest bathing guide? Many people have looked blankly at me when I have suggested having a go at forest bathing. It is not a phrase which is used in everyday conversation. Their immediate response is to think that I am strange and enjoy having a bath in the forest. I have then explained to them that is is about wandering in nature and they often look just as confused. People tend not to wander anymore. The pace of life is so fast with most people going for a run or a power walk, and think that walking slowly and looking at things is not a form of exercise, and so is a waste of their precious time.
It is a shame that the world has become such a fast paced place to live in. You never get the chance for your body to slow itself down and de-stress, or appreciate the beauty of things that surround you. We are constantly bombarded with images of items which we are supposed to need and want, rather than looking at and experiencing the free things which are out there on our door step. I was once one of those people and had lost connection with nature. It is an easy thing to do.
The Grow Wild website has a very simple forest bathing guide to instruct you how to partake in this wonderful experience.
