The Japanese have a word for it-Shinrin-Yoku or Forrest bathing. The Japanese believe it is important to make an effort to regularly connect with nature. Feng Shui loves a balanced being, and this is a perfect way to balance the body and soul. Get your nature on! 

The scientifically-proven benefits of Shinrin-yoku include:

-Boosted immune system functioning, with an increase in the count of the body’s Natural Killer (NK) cells.
-Reduced blood pressure
-Reduced stress
-Improved mood
-Increased ability to focus, even in children with ADHD
-Accelerated recovery from surgery or illness
-Increased energy level
-Improved sleep

Just as impressive are the results that we are experiencing as we make
this part of our regular practice:
-Deeper and clearer intuition
-Increased flow of energy
-Increased capacity to communicate with the land and its species
-Increased flow of eros/life force
-Deepening of friendships
-Overall increase in sense of happiness
