Raise Your Resilience
For thousands of years our ancestors lived and thrived in the wilderness. Endless grasslands, dense forests and vast stretches of green were an integral part of a place we called home.
But in today’s world, the green spaces are replaced by urban structures, crowded places and polluted environments. This rapid change puts an unwanted pressure on our body and mind. As a result we have seen that anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, chronic illnesses and other ailments are on the rise. Also as a society, there is an increase in anger, addictions, intolerance, apathy, and loneliness. Living in a hyper-connected era, aren’t we getting disconnected from what is truly important?
Let’s see what nature can do for you. Countries around the world are uncovering scientific proof about nature’s healing effects. Japan and South Korea have even created many healing forests where they practice forest bathing or healing forest walks. For our overloaded minds and overworked bodies, nature can yield surprising results. Keep reading to know how.

I spent the first 9 years of my life living at the edge of a beautiful forest in Ireland. It was my playground. I knew every plant, stream, bird and creature living there. I have lived and traveled in many beautiful places and yet, each time I inhale a forest floor or drink from a clear pool my childhood forest come alive inside. Whenever fear, sadness or stress appear I place my spirit in nature and I am that forest child, once more. Thank you for this exquisite film. Now I am a grandmother sharing nature with little ones. I live in Maine, USA, a land of many forests . Thank you!

Hello Nan,
I was so deeply grieved when I had to return to the city after living for a year in the forest, I never would even go out to a park. But just watching these films rekindles the forest energy in my body again so strongly! My heart rises up in the rushing joy and wonder of my walks through the woods each night. If the films stir that in you, perhaps could watch the films each day, and bathe in the eternal and blessed memory of those living energies reactivated in your body and heart. Love to you, Ann
