Have you ever noticed how great you feel when you are outside hiking or experiencing the beauty of nature? Did you know trees are vital to sustaining life? Trees have a personality and energy all their own? Do you remember being a child climbing trees or sitting in the arm of a tree in your backyard or neighborhood? Trees have a high vibrational energy and can provide healing to your mind and body.
In this episode James Batton, Arborist and “Forest Bather” shares how he began his love affair with trees. Tune in to learn about the health benefits of time in the forest. Trees each have their wisdom to share and a history that we can learn from. Spending time in forested areas has been shown to improve health. It can improve your immune system, lower blood pressure, increase energy, reduce stress hormones, and improve mood.
Forest Bathing is the experience of taking in trees through all our senses. It is different from hiking or exercising outside. It is an actual ionic exchange of your energy and the energy of the earth and trees. Go out into the woods today, hug a tree, and heal your body and mind!
“And Into the Forest I go, to Lose My Mind and Find My Soul” -John Muir
