Forest bathing is a gentle, meditative practice of connecting with nature. Simply being present with all of our senses, in a forest or other wild area, can produce mental, emotional, and physical health benefits. It is a simple, accessible antidote to our nature-starved lives and can inspire us to become advocates for healing our relationships with the more-than-human world.

This book is both an invitation to take up the practice of forest bathing and an inspiration to connect with nature as a way to help heal both the planet and humanity.

Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. In Japan, forest bathing is known as shinrin-yoku. Studies there have demonstrated a wide variety of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition.

In Your Guide to Forest Bathing, Amos Clifford draws on four decades of wilderness experience to introduce readers to the medicine of being in the forest. Learn about the roots of the practice, how to deepen your relationship to nature, and how to begin a practice of your own. Practical matters such as finding a suitable trail and what to bring are also included.

There are bits of this I really liked and would have liked to make a note of. On the whole it was interesting but it didn’t feel like a lot of new information, for the most part. I have done some training though, so maybe that’s why!

Some really good sections

I found this to be a helpful starting guide and an enjoyable listen. One that you can listen to over and over again on your journey into forest bathing.

A Great Gateway Book

Interesting book but very slow. I had to turn the narration speed up. I can’t say I learned much.

Often I find books like this full of dead wood and fallen branches, this one grew on me and was fantastic. Succinct, invitational and authentic, open hearted and inspirational.

Refreshing and invigorating!

I wanted to know more about the subject and the book is useful in that respect however I found the book ruined by the narrator. He drones on in a slightly robotic style and has a drawling and patronising quality to his voice . I had to give up in the end .

Annoyingly narrated
