Forest Bathing

 Shinrin-yoku (森林浴), which literally means forest bathing, originated in Japan in the early 1980s and may be regarded as a form of nature therapy.
This is one of my favorite things to do in the fall. The temperature is cooler so the bugs are not eating you alive, the ground smells of wet leaves, moss and mushrooms.  It is referred to as ECOHEALTH and has to do with the human interconnection with nature.
Spending time in nature has lots of benefits including lowering cortisol levels (stress hormone), breathing fresh air, quieting the mind and possibly experiencing EARTHING, the act of putting the body in direct contact with the earth, most often through feet.
I encourage you to bring a blanket and spend few minutes just lying down on the ground.  It's like recharging your body with the energy of earth.
