  1. Este suelo vivo, es mi altar
    Y mi sacramento, agua manantial
    Que lleva mi rezo, de siglos en siglos
    Que este bosque sea, mi catedral

    Aquí no encuentre muerte, ni ilusión
    Solo resuena vida eternal
    Mi reina Madre Tierra, siempre lo cuida
    Este bosque sea, mi catedral

  2. Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a science-backed wellness practice that strengthens immunity by increasing natural killer cell activity and reducing stress hormones. The 2010 research shows that spending time in forests improves both physical and mental health, offering long-lasting benefits through natural compounds and deep relaxation in green environments.

  4. I led the ride for last night's #JoyRide, a short one so we had plenty of time for my mate Asia to take us forest bathing.

    An hour of lightly-guided mindfulness and communing with the trees, water and birds in the Everton Nature Garden.

    Rounded off with us drifting back to the fire for a cup of tea and reflection on the evening. Was happy to see the bats out again too, they'd been a highlight of the session we did last year.

  5. "Did you know Japan introduced forest bathing as a medical treatment in 1982?

    Forest bathing involves spending time in the forest to reduce stress, boost immune system, and improve mood. Studies show significant improvements in health markers among participants.

    "It is in these moments of quietude that we come to understand the true meaning of well-being."

    What's the most zen forest experience you've ever had?

  6. 1-This is my longest video to date, around 26 min: new chainsaw, Narnia frost, melting days, chickadees, grouse, dragging logs, admiring moss +lichens.. a taste of my life here in Western Alberta, Canada. some talk, fairly gentle music and some nature sounds.
    For the moment only a YT link- I'm enquiring (in replies) to see how large I can go with files on #Spectra so stay tuned.

  7. Gestern schon im Wald ein Meer von strahlend blühenden Märzenbechern, daneben noch ganz schüchtern Bärlauch, der sich durch die dichte Laubdecke emporkämpft.

  8. **Did you know 71% of Japanese hospitals recommend forest therapy?**

    Forest bathing, a Japanese concept, involves spending time in nature to reduce stress. Studies have shown that forest bathing lowers cortisol levels and improves immune function.

    As Dr. Qing Li says, "Forest bathing is the ultimate medicine for our modern life."

    What's the most relaxing forest experience you've had?

  9. Vorletzter Tag im Februar und plötzlich ist Frühling. Singdrossel, Buntspecht und Rotkehlchen durchdringen des Waldes Stille. Die Welt steht Kopf vor lauter Gefühlen.

    "Every scenery is different, tinged with autumn lights and colors. When the path climbs, it crosses an alpine forest, leaving the rainforest down in the valley. Higher up some lakes are appearing, perfect links between the woods and the alpine meadows."

  12. 2010 - There are those trips that make you forget everything about time and space. You begin to live at a different pace — closer to what’s truly fundamental: eating, sleeping, staying warm… and in my case, walking.

  13. Got a quick test of the Bike-O-Techno on one of the Disco Bikes last night just before our #JoyRide.

    Worked nicely, and sounds better with some bass 🤣

    Recorded a super-janky video of it.

    We didn't use it for the ride itself, as we were off for a forest bathing session, and there was a prepped playlist for that.

  14. Feeling lost or overwhelmed? A new study out of Turku, Finland, reveals that qualitative time in nature fosters eudaimonic well-being—a deeper sense of purpose, authenticity, self-acceptance, and meaningful connection.
    In both teens and older adults, nature felt non-judgmental, easing self-acceptance and sparking personal growth, agency, and belonging—not just to people, but to all living things. It’s not simply a mood boost—it helps shape who you are.
    Take a quiet walk, sit by water, or linger under a tree—nature may offer more than peace. It might help you rediscover yourself.

  15. Coined in 1982 by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, 'shinrin-yoku' (森林浴) is the idea that 'bathing' in nature will reap therapeutic benefits.

    While I've never heard anyone actually use this term, I absolutely subscribe to the revitalising power of forests🙌

  17. Do you love #forestbathing - but have no woods nearby? Rejoice! 😃
    A new study found that a 360° multisensory VR #forest immersion with sights, sounds & scents can calm your mind & boost your mood almost as much as the real thing. #ShinrinYokuThis research is hoped to have potential for application especially for cities, clinics & nature-scarce spaces. 🌲 🤗 ❤️ mpg.de/25020718/0702-bild-virt #ShinrinYoku🌲

    Ithan Creek, PA

    We waded and walked along the creek just after the rain and left just before it started coming down again — perfect timing 😊

  19. Spent the afternoon wandering through Colinton Dells and along the Water of Leith, very pleasant in the dappled sunlight accompanied by the burbling of the water.

    Chester Creek, PA

    Pretty hot today, not sure I feel like fishing. But I didn’t get out enough this week, and the weekend will be packed with my son’s soccer tournament. I think I should try to fish after work… although I still have a lot to get done today 🤔
