Lee Holden at lists Forest Bathing in his 2025 book “ready, set, slow” as a slow nature based practice that “may well be just the ticket to 360 well-being.” We couldn’t agree more! 🌿💙

This book is surprising me at every turn too. I’ve been practicing QiGong 2-3 times a week with Holden QiGong since I injured my shoulder during yoga in 2017 and there are practices in here I’ve never tried. Every chapter offers daily exercises to live and breathe more slowly—and even video links. My new handbook for living slow and joyful!
