Listen "Part 1 of 2: Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) with Mayu Kataoka "
Episode Synopsis
Learn about the incredible wellness benefits of 'Forest Bathing' – also known as shinrin-yoku – from certified Forest Therapy Guide Mayu Kataoka to improve your physical and mental health. In this episode, Mark chats to Mayu about what Forest Bathing is, how we can practise it whether we live close to nature or in the middle of a city, and the powerful healing benefits, connection and mindfulness that can come from the ancient practice.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
What is forest bathing – from the ancient origins to the science behind it.
The importance of connecting with nature.
How you can practise shinrin-yoku in smaller-scale green spaces and even in your own home.
Our favourite quotable moment:
“The colour green has a healing effect. Green is a symbol of the origin of life, and in ancient times, we all lived in forests, or nature – natural environments – and those memories are deeply engrained in our DNA.” – Mayu Kataoka
