Forest Bathing

Feeling overwhelmed by modern life? Nature has a prescription for you: forest bathing. In this episode, discover the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, intentionally immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere, and learn why Japan's government has been prescribing it since the 1980s to combat stress and technology fatigue.

You'll explore the surprising science behind forest bathing: how just 20-30 minutes among trees can lower stress hormones, boost your immune system, and improve mental health. Plus, uncover the beautiful connection between forests and honeybees—how the same trees that provide us with healing also shelter and feed wild bee colonies, creating an interconnected web of life we're all part of.

The best part? You don't need wilderness. Whether you have access to vast forests or just a tree-lined park in your neighborhood, you can start forest bathing today. This episode gives you everything you need to begin this simple, transformative practice.

Ready to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature? The forest is waiting.
