The Art and Science of Forest Bathing with Dr Qing Li

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing is the practice of spending time in the forest for better health, happiness and a sense of calm. A pillar of Japanese culture for decades, Shinrin-Yoku is a way to reconnect with nature, from walking mindfully in the woods, to a break in your local park, to walking barefoot on your lawn.
Forest Medicine expert, Dr Qing Li's research has proven that spending time around trees (even filling your home with house plants and vaporising essential tree oils) can reduce blood pressure, lower stress, boost energy, boost immune system and even help you to lose weight. In this video, filmed in Blackwood Forest, Dr Li introduces forest bathing, why it originated in Japan, and explains why you need to get out into the forest today.
Along with his years of ground-breaking research, anecdotes on the life-changing power of trees, Dr Li provides the practical ways for you to try forest bathing for yourself in his book Shinrin-Yoku: The Art and Science of Forest Bathing.

I went to Vermont spent five days immersing myself in the forest and was able to completely stop taking blood pressure medication now I know why... I'm actually heading back right now to spend another five this guy is dead on great work and I hope he enjoys his retirement
i'm reading studies about this topic every day and everything Dr Qing Li says is proven. It is actually proven that even 5min in a forest are already beneficial. Already by thinking about visiting the forest later, one relaxes. But it was not possible to find huge differences between doing anything "special" (like he might promote in his book) comparing to just sitting or walking or even doing an activity one has no interest into at all in the forest - one will still have the health benefits.

Conclusion: people need to stop chopping and burning down forests, and planting much more trees, and wandering through them. A very tall order indeed.
Dr. Qing LI , I'm reading your wonderful book right now! I love it!! what a book! Thank you so much ! I opened a Meet Up Group, Walking Meditation in the Forest in Long Island NY , and every weekend we get together in the woods to practice Shinrin Yoku.
That sounds great! Love that you're bringing people together for this :)
yes!! we love go to the forest and practice walking meditation and Shirin Yoku.
I’m interested in doing the same thing here in Copenhagen and wanted to ask for some tips about setting up a meetup group?
Can I Contact you somehow?
@lugire5 Are you still doing this? I'm in Harlem. ~Brenda :)
I am in Chengdu China, just started to learn and bring it to people here, could you share more about how you organize and what you do in the practice?
Imagine... allowing and empowering forests to regenerate will expand the capacity for humanity to regenerate - individually and collectively. May we all more clearly see and more deeply feel our vital connection with Earth - in time to thrive together. Thank you Dr. Qing Li for helping guide us back to nature... I hear the forest calling... time for a bath!
thank you for your book and getting the message out in such a simple manner. the photos and information is great in such a simple way. thank you so very much. totally agree. great gift for the holidays.
THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT! and I also combined it with forest therapy by Sarah ivens and like FOREST BATHING HAS BECOME MY FAVOURITE ACTIVITY!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing 🌈
I go to the jungle or woods everyday . hugs some trees, kiss some flowers, play with the dog
Just bought your book....expecting a new great journey in my life....and expecting more people with the same kind to become friends...Thanks in advance...
Thanks Doctor. "The country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies." ~ Baha'u'llah, from Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era, Baha'i Faith
Beautiful, since i was a child, I need the forests to health myself and always look at the trees instead of people, i used to feel them so much.
It’s lovely sir.. I am also reading your book forest bathing: Shinjinee yoku which I think is the must book to read for all who love nature
Cant not wait your book in Vietnamese !! Thank you. Efficient therapy to reduce stress on these days.
Will read it too but unsure where to find forest to bath in here!
This is exactly why Japan is ahead of the world . Here in America they prescribe medication for issues like this 🤦🏾♂️
And it is better to practice qi gong in nature rather than on a dojo.
Thank you for this film! Just a little sugesstion: I think when Dr Qing Li talkes about efects of shinrin yoku, he mentions increase of natural killer cells, not natural cure cells as it appears on the subtitle.
you are totally right.
Wonderful person, wonderful book
❤❤❤❤forests are oxigen givers❤❤❤
🌲🤗🌳 BRILLIANT 🌲🤗🌳👍👍
j'adore 🖤

Ok. So tl;dr since I stumbled across this trendy thing. Get into nature, focus on life in the moment and in nature, slow down, and do what people have realized they needed to do for thousands of years. Tree hugging, holding, fondling not necessary. That’s it. That’s all it is.
There is a Scandinavian place in Portland Oregon named Nordic Northwest which has forest bathing sessions on its land. It is wonderful when people learn positive customs from other cultures.
So, go eat 3 pot 🍪🍪🍪, and spend all day in the forest!
couple of grams of mushrooms, even better.
Nature heals
Beautiful
That's why we need to plant more trees instead of cutting them. Is our breath
Completed the book . It’s amazing
Thank you sir
Thank you Penguin Books and Dr. Live for this important and lovely video! 💜
I really wanna say thanks for the information Dr I practice this my self
There is an upward rush of energy rising in every tree-trunk, which can be used to draw negative energy from your system, and is the reason for "Tree-Hugging."
It works equally well if you lean your back against a tree, and is less conspicuous ...
I live amongst trees, some of which arose naturally, where underground water seeps down the mountain, and others, fruit and nut trees, planted by the previous owner. Those I have to water.
Every Monday morning I divert the two water courses which cross my land, and create a pool of spring water around the base of each tree, and this brings me even closer to the trees and the environment in general, since I am a part of the process. The water comes from the tops of the Sierra Nevada -- so you could say my oranges are full of snow !
Thank you for putting a name to something that connects me to the numinous.
I would like to contact you. How?
@ 2:10 : "For example Shinrin-Yoku can reduce blood pressure" , etc. The subtitles read "senior" instead of "Shinrin -Yoku" in which the syllables are run together.
subtitle: there are 62 Forest Therapy "Bases" not businesses... in 2020 there are 65 by the way
Digital Forst therapy brings me here.
😂✌🏾
Dear Sir, Thank you for nice video.
Very nice but I could only discern about thirty percent of the gentleman's accent even played multiple times on full volume.
Subtitles are available for this one :)
it made the world of a difference! It was really important for me to understand everything he was trying to communicate
Kirsten Dirksen did a video on her channel about him. Something like "tree bathing". Also NHK did a little show on him but I am not sure how you would see it, but it was much more in depth and had wonderful subtitles.
@@PenguinBooksUK Awesome, thank you! Also just a heads up, at 2:42 he's talking about increasing natural killer cells (not natural cure). Fantastic video! :)
Understood every word
keep doing what you are doing!
el es japones o chino?
Smart work
inspired
What essential oils can I use at home to simulate forest bathing?
GOD strictly forbids occultism and spiritism! Please don't worship nature, worship our CREATOR! Accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!! Please read the Bible, listen to real theologians like Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. David Reagan and their guests - also on end times events.
