forest bathing

In Japan, we practice something called forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Shinrin in Japanese means “forest,” and yoku means “bath.” So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses.

 

This is not exercise, or hiking, or jogging. It is simply being in nature, connecting with it through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Shinrin-yoku is like a bridge. By opening our senses, it bridges the gap between us and the natural world. - Dr. Qing Li

 

So, that’s what I did by following Walt Whitman Trail ... the feeling & relaxation was truly one of a king experience... love Huntington regardless but after that experience it went to the top of my list
