Shinrin-Yoku is the Japanese term that translates to Forest Bathing. It involves spending free time in nature and reconnecting with it with your senses, emotions, and feelings. It is designed to enhance well-being, health, and spirituality. For the past few years, I have been walking in the Emerson Woods Preserve. At first, I would walk for exercise or try to clear my mind from racing thoughts. Over time, I became attuned to the atmosphere of the woods and realized I was practicing Shinrin-Yoku.
