Forest bathing is simply very good for us. Especially for lifting our moods when we are down. According to a study done by Akemi Furuyashiki et al, "examining the physiological and psychological effects of a day-long session of forest bathing on a working age group demonstrated significant positive effects on mental health, especially in those with depressive tendencies." Of course, a forest is not always nearby, so this meditation seeks to meet that challenge. But please, do your best to go to an actual forest if you can! It's unbeatable and by comparison, this audio will be forever #2, at best. That said, I hope you enjoy this digital forest bath, brought to you with the beautiful audio from a forest in Istanbul. There will be a brief guidance in the beginning - and then only the beautiful sound of the forest. Headphones recommended. image: Michael Held sound: Birds in Istanbul forests - Pixabay

Transcript

Being in a forest is surely one of the most wonderful things that we can do.

And therefore I want to keep it very short here as for the instructions.

Just wanted to offer this forest bathing experience for those of us or for those times where we don't have a forest available.

So with that said,

Find a position that is very comfortable for you.

Maybe have a drink or just meditate with your eyes closed and just be in the forest.

Enjoy!
