Forest bathing spreading around the world
Forest bathing in India.
I was really pleased today to see a newspaper article on the Deccan Chronicle website. The Deccan Chronicle is an Indian newspaper.It is wonderful that forest bathing is gradually spreading around the world. The article explained the health benefits of forest bathing. It discussed nature walks which have been set up by the forest department. As a result, it would be great if forest bathing in India became the norm.
If more people around the world understand the benefits that forest bathing can have for their health, then more forests will be planted/saved. This week I have read information being published on websites from Australia and India, so hopefully the word is spreading. I have also tried promoting forest bathing on Instagram, and on newspaper websites, to get the word out there.
To conclude, it is the weekend tomorrow, so let’s all get out into the forest. Enjoy yourself admiring its beauty. Listen to the birds and the dropping of the leaves. Smell the oils from the trees and the clean, fresh air. Touch the springy moss and rough bark. Use all of your five senses and feel connected, once again with nature.
