🌲 Have you tried forest bathing before? This is a popular Japanese practice of relaxation known as shinrin yoku. It involves being quiet and calm among trees. Research shows that by observing the nature all around you and breathing deeply, you can help to reduce your stress levels and boost your mental and physical health and wellbeing! ~ 💚 Taking time to slow down, while being immersed in nature, can be the perfect antidote to the fast-paced, screen filled and stressful life that increasing numbers of people are facing. With anxiety, depression and feelings of being burnt out all increasing, reconnecting with nature is more necessary than ever. ~ 🙏🏼 It was great to take a walk in this wonderful local woodland recently with @thetanshow. It was a beautiful warm sunny day, and perfect for some forest bathing and taking photos. While I'm definitely looking forward to travelling again and exploring more of the world, it can also be fun going on a local adventure! ~ I hope you've been able to enjoy some time in nature recently, and have a great weekend. 😊 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ #lostcreator #lostcreators #forestbathing #shinrinyoku #forest #woodland #nature #beautifuldestinations #calm #peace #wellbeing #health #mentalhealth #nationalgeographic #NGTUK #Lumix #wherelumixgoes #travel #Norwich #VisitNorwich #lonelyplanet #yourshotphotographer #naturephotography #Earth #plants #sunny #sun #sunshine #trees #travellingthroughtheworld (at Norwich, Norfolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT8Tfi1IIdi/?utm_medium=tumblr
