Mindfulness walking in the forest and connecting to nature provides prized health benefits. This includes decreased stress, depression and anxiety, and elimination of brain fatigue. Nature experiences have been shown to boost the immune system as well as mood and well-being. "Ecotherapy" started in the United States in 1995 but the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku ("Forest Bathing") was developed in the 1980s. It is a regular part of preventive health care and medicine in Japan and is increasingly popular in the US. |
