Forest therapy is rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, which is often translated as "forest bathing." A term that refers to immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the forest.
The intent of forest therapy is to put you in touch with present-moment experiences within a meditative walk. The sights, sounds, and smells of the forest contribute to the experience so the brain stops anticipating, recalling, and worrying. Being immersed in the moment involves noticing and sensing things rather than judging or evaluating.
