Pay Attention: How "forest bathing" clears the mind and body
In our series, Pay Attention, we explore ways to sharpen our focus and re-capture our attention from distracting technology. Americans spend an average of 93 percent of their time indoors or inside a car, which means just 12 hours a week is spent outside. There is mounting evidence that spending time in nature is good for your body and your brain. That led us to explore a popular activity prescribed by Japanese physicians for years known as "forest bathing." John Dickerson reports.

This was common knowledge when I was a young child - born 1957. The Drs prescription for us when we were sick was to go outside as soon as possible.
When i heard that child excitedly announce "a ladybug!", I felt genuine gratitude for nature and children. Thank you for existing ❤
We called it getting fresh air when I was younger.

Yeah,that's what it was called when I was a kid...sadly people are so surgically attached to their smartphones and other tech that they don't think about getting outside and just be in the moment,someone has to tell them...it's sad really...

It isn't the same as just getting fresh air. I exercise outdoors daily and it's not the same as forest bathing. Forest bathing has no destination or goal, unlike hiking or exercising. It's more like meditation.

Getting fresh air... but in nature instead of concrete.

@@headphonic8 Well getting fresh air can be just sit at park bench and immerse yourself in sounds, sight etc of nature, no need for goal.
I call it being one with God nature... every tree, every bird, I give thanks the Lord for his magnificent amazingly perfect creation.
I I’ve in a high rise apartment block but I’ve surrounded myself with pot plants and an indoor fountain. I burn incense and candles and don’t have a television. My apartment feels soothing and lovely.
Re-connecting with nature is one of the most powerful things you can do for a healthy mind. 😊 It's so easy, there is no right and wrong, just get out and explore wherever and whenever you can!
I LOVE this!
wow you're helping them get even more out of their experience by guiding their attention tontine more or discover specific answers their life questions. i get it!

Awesome, not too far from me! Glad to hear people all over the world are re-connecting with Nature!
Being one with nature, we don’t need anyone to tell us how to do it. Just go out in it. Commune with it

Absolutely, stop worrying about right and wrong. Just get outside and explore at your own pace.
Just finished another trek and I apparently was mosquito bathing
In Norway we just call this walking in nature.........or TUR....something that is deep rooted in our culture.

That's lovely...but sadly most here in the US are so glued to their cell phones and other tech that they don't take the time to get out like that and just be present...I try to do that as often as I can,because I love being outdoors...the US is backwards in alot of ways

Here in the Pacific Northwest, U.S., lots of Norwegian descendants and non-Nordic people love to get outdoors, hike, ski, etc. in our mountains and nature.
Why 🐑pl have to be TOLD to go to The Forest, is beyond me, man...!
Yes yes yes!
So true... "The country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies." ~ Baha'u'llah, from Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era, Baha'i Faith
Native people,American native people & indigenous people know that sacred ritual already to be grounded by nature! Only Webster mind are now learning old sacred traditions! That is WHY we must respect & protect nature ALWAYS..🤨😐😴😔🥺🙏🙏🙏💕💠💠💚🌺

The key is to treat this time for yourself it as if it were an important appointment you have to keep. You'd be surprised!
Where Am I going to put the foot????
Lol your forests don’t even compare to our old growth forests here in Oregon.
Go to the local POT SHOP, and buy 🍪🍪🍪, THAT'S your Forest Bathing Guide!
"Listen to your mother..." the dominating patriarchal American society has suppressed this voice over the past several generations...

Instead of dwelling where only the works of men can be seen, where the sights and sounds frequently suggest thoughts of evil, where turmoil and confusion bring weariness and disquietude, go where you can look upon the works of God. Find rest of spirit in the beauty and quietude and peace of nature. Let the eye rest on the green fields, the groves, and the hills. Look up to the blue sky, unobscured by the city’s dust and smoke, and breathe the invigorating air of heaven. Go where, apart from the distractions of city life, you can give your children your companionship, where you can teach them to learn of God through His works and train them for lives of integrity and usefulness.-The Ministry of Healing, 366, 367 (1905).
What about TICKS?

I can tell you don't go outside because you think bears and mountain lions are that big of a problem. You should try hiking.

Everyone knows hiking and camping is just field practice for being homeless.
