Forest Bathing: Nature’s Prescription for Mind, Body, and Soul
Manage episode 463083506 series 2978949
In this episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie and Laurie welcome Melanie Choukas-Bradley, a certified nature and forest therapy guide, author, and naturalist, to explore the art and science of forest bathing. Originating in Japan as "shinrin-yoku," forest bathing is the practice of immersing oneself in nature to reap significant physical and mental health benefits.
Melanie explains how this practice, introduced in the 1980s, has been proven to lower blood pressure, boost immunity, improve sleep, and reduce stress. She shares how Washington, D.C.—with its abundant parks and tree canopy—offers an ideal setting for connecting with nature and highlights initiatives to expand green spaces in underserved areas.
Listeners will learn what a forest bathing walk entails, from disconnecting from devices to engaging all five senses with the natural world. Melanie emphasizes that forest bathing is accessible to everyone, whether solo or in groups, and can even be practiced in local parks or backyards.
The episode wraps up with book recommendations for nature enthusiasts and practical advice on incorporating forest bathing techniques into daily life. Join us as we explore how regular contact with nature can transform well-being and deepen our connection with the world around us.
