Forest BathingMindful Meditation Connecting You to Nature and Eco-Consciousness Through the Practice of Shinrin-Yoku is a great book! I had never heard of this practice and it was very eye opening to me. As someone who deeply believes in grounding this truly spoke to me. While my experience is at the beach i really like the religious and historical information given at the beginning. I look forward to experiencing this new practice.

I had heard of this practice, but wasn’t entirely sure about all aspects, this book filled in the gaps, and is a use read if you want to find new ways to connect to nature or understand Shinrin-Yoku in more detail. The guide takes you through the history and science, but also how to prepare and practice forest bathing (even if you live in a city). It’s a great book and one I would recommend.
