Chasing The Now

Welcome to Forest Bathing+ — a calming nature experience that blends mindful walking, sensory awareness, and deep connection with nature. Step into stillness.

We spend so much of life rushing—through tasks, through thoughts, through time. Forest bathing invites us to pause. To listen to the wind through the leaves, to feel the ground beneath our feet, and to let nature quiet the noise within. It’s not a walk—it’s a return. A return to stillness, to presence, to self.

🌱 Why “Chasing the Now”
The present moment is always just within reach—yet so easily lost. Chasing the Now is our gentle reminder to come back to it. To leave behind the weight of yesterday and the worry of tomorrow, and meet life exactly where it is: here, now, in the breath between the trees.

Meža terapija jeb “pelde” mežā!🌿

30.augustā, Lazdiņās pie Kokneses
ar Lauru Dubovu no UK

* (no japāņu valodas Shinrin Yoku; angļu - “Forest Bathing”).
Dabas klātbūtne rada īpašu, mierīgu un dziedinošu atmosfēru, kas palīdz atslābināt gan
ķermeni, gan prātu. Meža skaņas, gaisma un gaisa kvalitāte iedarbojas uz mūsu maņām,
ļaujot mums atbrīvoties no ikdienas, atjaunot saikni ar sevi, dabu un apkārtējiem. Būt
mežā nozīmē pieredzēt harmoniju visās tās formās, un šī intensīvā saziņa ar dabu ļauj
gūt dziļāku apziņas un fiziskās labsajūtas līdzsvaru. Dabas atmosfēra ļauj iedarbināt
parasimpatisko nervu sistēmu, kas ir atbildīga par atslābināšanos un atjaunošanos,
veicinot stāvokli, kurā varam piedzīvot īstu iekšējo mieru, emocionālu un fizisku
dziedināšanu.

Kā norit meža terapija?
• Sesija ilgst 2.5 - 3 stundas, lēnā un apzinātā tempā.
• Sesijas laikā tiek piedāvāti dažādi uzdevumi un elementi, lai iesaistītu maņas (redzi,
dzirdi, tausti un garšu).
• Sesijas laikā pastaiga ir lēna un apzināta. Uzmanība tiek pievērsta apkārtnei un savām
sajūtām. Galamērķis šeit nav svarīgs.
• Sesijas laikā tiek piedāvāti elpošanas vingrinājumi, kas palīdz aktivizēt parasimpatisko
nervu sistēmu.
• Sesijas noslēguma daļā tiek piedāvāta ķermeņa relaksējoša meditācija, ar iespēju
sazemēties (“grounding / earthing”).
Šie ir tikai daži piemēri, kā meža terapija mūs var ietekmēt:
• Fitoncīdi (dabīgās vielas, ko ražo augi un koki), uzlabo imūnsistēmu, tos gan ieelpojot,
gan uzņemot ar ādu
• Samazinās stresa hormoni ķermenī
• Atjaunojas koncentrēšanās spējas un atmiņa
• Uzlabojas miega kvalitāte
• Samazinās cukura līmenis asinīs
• Atjaunojas saikne ar dabu
• Veicina apzinātību
• Veicina pievēršanos dziļākai pašrefleksijai

Ko ņemt līdzi:
• Siltas drēbes. Pateicoties ķermeņa atslābumam, sesijas laikā ķermeņa temperatūra
krītas. Arī vasaras laikā ir ieteicams līdzi paņemt papildus apģērbu.
• Ērtus apavus, ar slēgtiem purngaliem.
• Ūdensnecaurlaidīgu apģērbu. Meža sesija ir visu laikapstākļu aktivitāte. Sesijas laikā
lietus tiek uzskatīts par vienu no visefektīvākajiem laikapstākļiem.
• Ūdeni vai kādus našķus, ja ir vēlme.
• Vieglu piknika vai pludmales paklājiņu uz kura var apgulties.

🌿 What is Forest Bathing? 🌲
(And why you should try it on Sunday, August 3rd!)

Ever feel like your brain needs a reset button? That’s exactly what Forest Bathing offers.

Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, is a Japanese practice of taking slow, mindful walks through the woodland to relax, recharge, and reconnect — not just with nature, but with yourself. It’s not a hike or workout. It’s about being, not doing.

What to Expect During Our Guided Session:
* Gentle, silent walking through beautiful woodland
* Breathing + mindfulness exercises to open your senses
* Time to slow down and reconnect with the natural world
* Optional sharing
* A deep sense of calm and clarity that lingers

Benefits of Forest Bathing:
💚 Lowers stress and anxiety
💚 Boosts focus and mental clarity
💚 Improves sleep
💚 Strengthens the immune system
💚 Increases mood and emotional balance
