Discover a slow, mindful way of walking that heals the soul and
mends the heart. Let all your senses bathe in the sensory pleasures
that woodland has to offer. Forest as therapist: find practical
ways to connect deeply with nature. Leave the hustle and bustle
behind for a while and fill your lungs with some fresh forest air.
Soak up the sights, sounds (or silence) with all of your senses and
indulge in some shinrin yoku; the health benefits are
extraordinary. Turn off the phone, turn off the TV, close the
laptop, lace up your hiking boots, and go outside for what the
Japanese call "the medicine of being in the forest", otherwise
known as forest therapy. Fresh forest air is filled with
cancer-fighting chemicals called phytoncides, which have been found
to lower blood pressure and decrease levels of the stress hormone
cortisol (if you happen to be crammed in the center of the city,
know that a view of a park or other green space can also lower your
blood pressure and reduce any muscle tension). When you do get
outside, let your senses guide you. What do you see? What do you
hear? What do you feel? Let your awareness of your environment
recalibrate you. Let your surroundings speak to you. Focusing your
awareness on the present moment (while acknowledging and accepting
every thought and feeling) is one way to mindfully maximize the
moments you spend luxuriating out-of-doors.
