Description
Wild Walking: A Guide to Forest Bathing Through the Seasons by Melanie Choukas-Bradley invites you to experience the healing benefits of forest bathing in your own backyard. This comprehensive introduction to shinrin-yoku, a Japanese practice that combines nature and mindfulness, offers practical tips for establishing a forest bathing routine. Discover how to disconnect from daily distractions and reconnect with the natural world through three steps: disengagement, deep breathing and connection, and transition back to daily life. Learn how to adapt this restorative activity to suit your needs, whether you're looking to improve your mental or physical health. With Wild Walking, you can enjoy the benefits of forest bathing regardless of age or ability. Explore the changing seasons and find inspiration for forest bathing in each one: winter's leafless trees, spring's bird songs, summer's butterflies, and autumn's squirrel sightings. This book provides a wealth of practical advice and inspiration to help you cultivate a deeper connection with nature and improve your overall well-being.
