Forest Bathing “What is forest bathing? This Japanese practice is a process of relaxation; known in Japan as shinrin yoku. The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help both adults and children de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way.” - ForestryEngland.uk I love this tradition - the place I have always found peace is out in nature. The photo used in this graphic was taken in the Santa Fe National Forest not far from Cowles, New Mexico next to Jacks Creek Campground up in the Sange de Cristo Mountains. It is one of many great places to forest bathe near Santa Fe. After the graphic are photos from this trail including the one used in the quote graphic. #ForestBathing #ShirinYoku #森林浴 #CowlesNewMexico #JacksCreekCampground #SantaFeNationalForest #Forest #NewMexicoForests #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpW9ZOPfr3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
