SHINRIN-YOKU

I do Shinrin Yoku and you should too.  The translation of the Japanese words is forest bathing. I may not bathe in the tub as often as I once did but I now visit the forest regularly.

Studies have proven that a leisurely walk in the forest or woods calms your nerves and increases hormones in the body that protect against obesity, diabetes and heart/circulatory diseases.   For your own mental and physical health, you can't go wrong with a regular routine of visiting the forest.

Breath in the forest air; relax in a calm place; wander through nature's wonderland; physically touch living-growing nature; listen to the sounds of the forest; heal your mind and body.  I couldn't recommend it more strongly.  If you want more information:  visit www.shinrin-yoku.org   If you want someone to go with you, I'm always available.
