The Healing Power of Forest Bathing

Second week Prompt of Nature

I have recently heard about the term forest bathing. It simple means immersing yourself free in forest or natural environment.

Take a slow walk, and observe every part of nature that the forest offers, green and vibrant leaves, majestic and ancient trees, blooming flowers, chirping birds, colourful wildflowers, glistening streams, and mysterious pathways. You can also feel the gentle wind.

You can just lie down and feel the nature around you. It’s not about reaching somewhere, it is about slowing down and immersing yourself in the experience of enjoying nature.

It will help in reducing stress and anxiety. When you are near the nature, it will help in sparking the creativity.

This week’s prompt is,
