Forest bathing? Say what...
Sounds funky eh, but although this may seem like a new term to lots of people its something many have done for generations. If you have ever gone for a walk in a forest, or any wooded area, you've done it...you have bathed in the forest
Now, meditation...I know you have heard that word. Most people envision sitting cross-legged with your eyes closed and index and thumb of each hand touching...and chanting "ohm". Well it is a thing, and people do, but I'm afraid at my age my knees would object and I would likely end up in hospital trying to get untied :)
No matter what stance you take in meditation it is simply meant to help you concentrate. A sitting meditation just doesn't work for me, not just because I can't sit cross legged for more than 30 seconds without causing some pain but because I have great difficulty "shutting up" and shutting off my brain.
Anyone else have that problem?
Forest Bathing is a form of meditation I can handle. When I need to get away from the chaos of the world, and even get away from myself, nothing for me is more soothing than a walk in the woods. And if you don't live near a forest or park then any well treed, quiet neighborhood will do just as well. Do you live near a public gardens area? Even though these places might still have a lot of people around you can still find an "inner peace" for yourself by spending some time there. Nature has a wonderous way of calming our minds, no matter what your current worries may be
Please be kind to yourself and spend some time out in nature. It is the simplest way to heal. It truly is magical, and you might be surprised at the wisdom you find within just by finding your "calm"
