P1 26 Dec 22 (Healing Magic of Trees)

 I re-read this book called The Healing Magic of Forest Bathing. Written by Julia Plevin, the book never fails to amaze me on more revelation of the magic of Forest Bathing. It is an inner journey. A journey between me and the forest. It was just magical.

By the definition of Julia : Forest Bathing is the practice of intentionally connecting to Nature as a way to heal. Part mindfulness, part child's play. It is a portal into true understanding of yourself and the world around you. Forest bathing is an embodied love note to Mother Earth and an evidence-based intervention to combat the life-threatening diseases that are associated with modern life. 


FOREST BATHING IS A WAY OF LIFE. 

There are 3Rs for living on earth : Respect, reciprocity and relationship. 

Forest Bathing is a journey. What happens during a forest bath is a magnified version of what's happening in your life. It becomes a mirror for what you experience. As you begins to see the beauty in all parts of natural life cycles, you will also begin to see that beauty in your own life. 


Beginning to have another new revelation on how to practise : Pleasure of Presence (POP) 

POP is all about connecting our senses to the nature. It can be fluid, natural and goes with the flow. The one that we had is too procedural, hard for us to enter into luminal stage.

The physical body is always trying to release emotion. If we don't express those emotions, the energy becomes stuck in our joints, tissues and organs. A good way to let go of any residual stress or preoccupations you may be carrying with you, before entering the forest, is to shake your body. We may not be able to control all the stresses of our daily lives, but we can control how we respond to them.  Turn off Mobile Phone :  Many of us suffer from "screen apnea" or email apnea". We stop breathing or breathe shallowly when we look at screens. The aps that we download might be "free", but when we spend hours scrolling on social media, what we are ...
