forest bathing

the forest gives us the opportunity to indulgently connect with our senses freely and purely. our sense of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. feeling the strength and warmth of the tree trunk, tasting the fresh woody air, smelling the fragrance of the trees, hearing the sound of the birds, the wavering of the branches, the snapping of the twigs, the sound of the gentle breeze, and lastly, seeing the upright tree trunks sturdy and wise. simply quietly spending time in a forest is known to improve overall feelings of wellbeing bringing us tranquility and calm. as nature brings us physical and psychological health benefits, so too does immersing in the healing effects of pine.
