"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than a seek." - John Muir.



Forest bathing has become a vital part of preventative healthcare in Japan.
The results of Japanese studies have shown forest bathing improves sleep quality, mood, ability to focus, and stress levels.
Today, not only in Japan or China but in all the big cities of the world, the Covid years have made this practice explode, which consists in immersing oneself in nature, in the forest, to find oneself and fill up with well-being and energy.

So that's what it means to go for a walk in nature?
Not really, the idea is to go and look for something in the forest, in the middle of the trees and in this world preserved from the daily agitations, the communion with all that surrounds you, by breathing slowly and deeply, look at all the small details around you, impregnate yourself with what you see, then close your eyes and feel the smells, pay attention to all the sounds that you hear, try to dissociate them, concentrate on one sound at a time... in short.



For a whole moment that belongs only to us, be part of the forest, comfortably leaning against a big tree from which you can really draw an energy that we will have to spend and distribute during our city week in Brussels!



Is it really necessary to go right in the middle of the forest to indulge in this ultra effective and anti-stress practice...
Let's say that the "right in the middle of the forest" has its advantages and notably the break with the urban environment, but in reality, Shinrin-Yoku can be practiced everywhere where nature is present, a big park, a garden, and in Brussels there are parks and nature spaces in every corner!
Try it, it is really great and the more you practice these moments of sharing with nature, the more you will become sensitive to its effects!

While waiting for your next "Forest bathing", here is a little movie that offers you 5 minutes of total immersion in a sublime national park in California... put your headset, breathe... let's go.
