Description

I love the outdoors, the quiet, the smell and the peacefulness.

The Japanese have a word for this Shinrin-Yoku which roughly translates to forrest bathing. It has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve your immunity and decrease stress.

Use your senses to embrace everything around you - listen with your ears, look with your eyes, smell with your nose, use your mouth to taste the fresh air and feel with your hands and feet.
