There is something simply soul-soothing about being in nature. In fact, research shows that spending time outside can improve the immune system, combat stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and boost self-esteem. Around the globe, rising movements are driving us to reconnect with Mother Nature--fromshinrin-yoku("forest bathing") in Japan tofriluftsliv("open-air life") in Scandinavia--yet our everyday lifestyles have distanced us from the great outdoors. For stressed-out professionals, reclusive bookworms, worn-out parents, and their cooped-up kids,Forest Therapyshares why getting back to nature is critically important for our well-being, and offers fun, easy practices to break out of hibernation.

Recenzii
"Spending
less
time
in
nature
is
negatively
affecting
our
children,
both
physically
(their
eyesight
is
getting
worse
as
a
result)
and
emotionally
(more
difficult
behavior).
Children
today
need
to
climb
more
trees,
play
with
sycamore
airplanes,
make
fairy
tea
parties
with
acorn
cups,
gather
more
blackberries
and
eat
them
straight
from
the
bush,
make
more
daisy
chains
and
leaf
prints,
dissect
owl
pellets,
play
in
mud,
collect
forest
treasures
and
breathe
more
fresh
air.
This
little
book
has
lots
of
great
ideas
if
spending
time
in
forests
isn't
second
nature
to
you--or
your
kids."—Sarah

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

But from the Japanese trend for shinrin yoku (forest bathing) to the Scandinavian philosophy of friluftsliv (open air life), people everywhere are waking up to the fact that spending time in nature has more benefits than you might have thought possible. In Forest Therapy, you will learn how the natural world can help us to be calmer, happier, more energised and even give our immune systems a boost.
From a simple walk in the woods or countryside couple's therapy, to DIY natural beauty products and tips on how to bring the outdoors to your home, Forest Therapy provides seasonal ideas to help you reconnect with nature. There's something in this book for everyone, not just outdoorsy types, whether you're a stressed-out urban professional or a weary parent dealing with cooped-up kids.
