Forest Bathing is the practice of taking in the forest through your senses. In other words, bathing in the atmosphere of the forest.

It is simply spending time in nature and connecting with it through all of your five senses. Wellbeing walks do not have to take place in a forest, any green space will do. We all know how being in the natural world makes us feel good, whether that is a city park or a National Park. This is because humans evolved in nature, we are genetically determined to spend time and love being outdoors. But over the last couple of centuries humans have lost touch with nature and our natural senses. In Britain, we spend an average of 8 hours 41 minutes on electronic devices and 90% of our time indoors. Contact with nature is a vital part for our health, happiness and wellbeing, and just as when we are connected with nature, our health improves, when we are separated from it, our health suffers. A forest bathing session will help you unplug from technology and slow down, bringing you into the here and now through practicing mindfulness, de-stressing and relaxing you. As soon as you open your senses, you begin to connect to the natural world. Forest bathing and spending time in nature has been scientifically proven to reduce blood pressure, lower stress, lower blood sugar levels, improve concentration and memory, ease depression and anxiety, increase energy, boost the immune system and help with weight loss. Some of these benefits can last for up to a month after a single forest bathing session. Having a qualified Nature Therapy Guide with you is a great way to fully experience the process and understand how to do it by yourself. A guide can help you slow down, connect with nature, feel more comfortable in the natural world and find practices that suit you. Let the guide provide the framework to rewild your senses, while nature does the therapeutic work.

“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order” – John Burroughs (1837 – 1921)

Spring is springing and colour is coming back to the world. After a long and grey winter I think we all are feeling the benefit of longer days and the signs of spring popping through. It may have rained every day this year, but try looking through the rain and noticing all the beauty around you 🌼🌧️

Where's your favourite place in nature to sit and think?
Watching the waves in Porthleven 🩵🌊. I heard the other day that the Cornish grow up with a healthy fear and respect for the sea. I feel the same, Mother Nature is so powerful. She can kill, but she can also cure. Being out in nature is a safe space for many of us and I am certainly grateful I have such easy access to it in my life.

"I am the breeze that kisses your face, the earth that caresses your feet as you walk. I am the leaves that hang from the branches and ruffle your hair. I am the flowers that catch your eye and capture your imagination with their sweet scent. I am all things because I am Mother Nature"
The Fool nodded. "So wherever I go, you are always there. All I have to do is reach out."
"Yes", the Empress said. "Connect with your heart and soul, and your senses, and you will feel me. Whenever you need to replenish the soul, to heal and forgive, then connect with my power".

Walking in a winter wonderland 😍🌊

I experienced the fascinating and magical world of biofluorescence this evening with . There are so many colours in nature that you would never realise are there. Glowing slugs, snails and earwigs, plants turned red due to chlorophyll and bright blue due to fungus. It's a whole new way to appreciate and notice nature.

You can even spot our impact on nature, with microfibres showing up everywhere as turquoise.

Another day in nature to help heal the soul 💚 After the rain this morning, the woods smelt divine. The air smelt of lichen, soil and slightly peppery - the more you practice natural mindfulness the more your senses will refine and the more you'll notice 👃🏻
