Notice what’s here.
What is
Shinrin-yoku?
Shinrin-yoku means “forest bathing”: taking in the atmosphere of the forest through your senses.
The practice comes from Japan. You might wander slowly, pause beneath a tree, or simply sit. Give your attention to the light through the leaves, the smell of the earth, and the sounds around you.
The “bath” is an immersion in your surroundings. There’s no route to complete or special technique to master. Begin with a place where you feel comfortable, and let yourself notice what’s there.
Pause. Listen for a sound nearby, then one farther away. Stay with whatever catches your attention.
