Shinrin-yoku

Feeling stressed? I’ve got a better kind of bath for you—no water or bubbles required. In this excerpt from my book Be Happy Forever? Make a Garden!, I dive into Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of forest bathing. It’s slow, mindful wandering through nature, and it might just be what your nervous system needs. This isn’t hiking—it’s arriving. Take a breath, lie back under the trees, and let the forest do what it does best: heal.
