Have you ever hiked with all five senses? Join us on a journey from the bustling metropolis of Tokyo to the serene Okutama forest to meet Dr. Kagawa, the pioneering scientist who first validated the health benefits of nature immersion. Together, we engage in Shinrin Yoku, commonly known as forest bathing, a sensory-rich experience that invites us to use all five senses as we explore the wooded landscape. This episode reveals that forest bathing is far more than just a nature hike it's a practice of mindfulness that fully immerses us in the present moment through sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Learn how this deeply rooted Japanese tradition offers both physical and psychological benefits, opening your mind and tuning your senses to the therapeutic powers of nature. Join us on this eye-opening expedition and discover how you, too, can improve your well-being through the simple yet transformative act of forest bathing.
