re-connect and heal with the power of shinrin-yoku
Discover the transformative power of Shinrin-Yoku, a practice rooted in ancient traditions. By immersing yourself in the serenity of nature, you can alleviate stress, boost your immune system, and find a profound sense of peace and balance. Let nature guide you to a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
Finding Balance and Relaxation
Nature has a unique way of taking our troubles away and to help find that balance and restoration. When we surround ourselves in nature we almost have an instant feeling of being at home. Nothing every really can sever our connection with nature but we can sometimes forget our connection to her which puts us out of balance and in an unrelaxed state of being. A simple walk out in nature can change our energy levels, our perceptions to life situations and restore that balance to remain in a calm state. We again feel that instant connection to nature and feel reborn.
The Fast-Paced Life
Our lives can be so fast-paced and often we do not stop to breathe, take a break, or reflect on life to focus on ourselves a little. Sometimes we feel we need to escape the rat-race and all that hustle and bustle in life. It is true that living in the cities is unnatural and the system we live in is deliberately designed to take us away from living with nature. More and more people have given up the city-life and have no regrets living out in nature and some times completely off-grid. It is the most natural way to live and how the ancients used to live.
Coping Mechanisms
On top of this, people don’t know how to break negative cycles or know the right ways to heal. They often self-medicate with alcohol, cigarettes, and even use drugs or think that playing computer games or eating junk food is a good way to fill the void that needs healing. Most people in the world operate from their reptilian part of the brain and are in constant flight/fight mode, creating even more stress in the body with constant negative thought patterns. When we stay in this part of the brain, it is going to be extremely difficult to find the solutions to resolve these problems. However, there are many solutions and one is simple surrounding ourselves with nature and allowing the answers to our problems to come to us.
Introduction to Shinrin-Yoku
If you have not heard of it before, allow me to introduce you to Shinrin-Yoku. This term first emerged in Japan in the 1980s but has been practiced for thousands of years. The words “Shinrin-Yoku” translated into English is forest bathing and is one of, if not, the most therapeutic practices anyone can use to help balance and calm their mind, body, and spirit.
Benefits of Forest Bathing
Relaxation
Take the time out for a relaxed walk through a forest, let yourself be open to mother nature and allow her to breathe her life into you. Allow yourself to feel that part of you returning home because I guarantee that you will literally feel a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. Give that weight to mother nature and in return, she will give the blessings and healing that you need.
Scientific Proof
Scientists have proved that the frequency within you changes and increases especially in your brain as you start to re-connect yourself with nature. Let your stresses melt away, your depression fade, and allow the power surrounding the forest to boost your immune system. Every blood cell in your body will start healing and will be cleansed with the life force energy that is within all things.
Holistic Healing
Let the magic of forest bathing improve your sleep, reduce blood pressure, raise your vibration, and balance every aspect of your being. Although mother nature is everywhere, her presence in the forest truly is remarkable. Nature is a living breathing being and knows exactly how to restore balance within you because she is connected and inside of us all. She will take care of us if we allow her to.
I have slept in a hammock deep in the forest and whilst looking up into the skies, hearing all kinds of animals around me but the presence of mother nature at that moment is colossal. I have a deep connection with mother nature and I am always in awe of her beauty and presence. She is everywhere and can heal us in the most profound ways and I find she is the most important relationship I have in my life.
The Importance of Nature
I have a deep respect and love for her that words cannot express. It’s not meant to be expressed in words, but it is meant to be felt in your mind, throughout your body, your heart, spirit, soul, and every part of you. Being with nature is my natural medicine. There is no separation from nature as such, but sadly most people in society do not realise they have disassociated themselves from her. Without nature, nothing can be born, created, sustained, can last or return to death. She is the cycle of everything, and I thank her every day for the healings and blessings she has given me and to the world.
Working with Nature
I am not saying nature can fix all of our problems, but we can work through them with her. It’s up to us to find the root causes of our illnesses and of our stresses as we are on a spiritual journey. They are our spiritual lessons and my website can give you the tools to help and guide you. Often to find the root causes of our stresses we can seek out therapy of some sort to help us get to these underlying issues. I am more than happy to assist you if you would like to book some sessions with me to get to these underlying issues that you have and resolve them once and for all to restore balance in all aspects of your being.
The Power Within
I can say with confidence that the main reason why people suffer or often feel their lives are out of control is because they do not consciously stop to realise, they are not connecting with nature properly. It’s a symbiotic relationship but sadly people can be completely out of sync with nature and that is why we can often look for things outside of ourselves for a quick fix, but we must realise our power lies within. Sometimes it can be a battle of consciousness as we can be heavily distracted from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and we forget that all our answers lie inside of us. Although nature is all around us as we perceive it, we can often think that the physical world is separate from us, but the truth is what we see outside of us really comes from inside of us.
Re-setting with Forest Bathing
With the use of forest bathing, you are re-setting your mind, body, and soul. You are remembering your connection to nature on a conscious level. It truly is like an awakening as you seek more comfort, clarity, balance, power, vitality, and it is all freely given by nature to empower us once again. Feel at one with her presence and she will already know what you need to heal. Allow her to give you the answers to all your questions. She will guide and lead you to the next step of your spiritual journey.
