The Power of Nature

How we can use nature to quiet our minds
The activity of simply being in nature, and connecting with it through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch is called “forest-bathing” in Japan.
It is incredibly good for our soul, and an amazing way to recenter, and quiet down our minds.
When you mind is feeling out of control with negative thoughts, find a park, a forest, or a tree area. Pick up a pine cone, feel it with your hands, smell the air or a flower nearby, close your eyes and listen to the birds, or observe a squirrel.
Forest bathing is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.
