Ondine Ash

Walking in The Woods | Professor Yoshifumi Miyazaki

£10.99

Go back to nature with the Japanese way of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing). Forest bathing' is a way of walking in the woods that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting edge environmental health science.

It's the practice of walking slowly through the woods at a meandering pace. All the senses are involved as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on positive feelings, stress hormone levels, parasympathetic nervous activity, sympathetic nervous activity, blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity. Try it out yourself upon after reading this beautiful book. 

Miyazaki is a retired professor, who has published several books on forest bathing, a concept that is gathering momentum worldwide.
