Healing Forest Poem
Download link of the healing forest poem given at the very end.

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.

  1. This is me, and a sample of what I do. I am a composer and recording artist, and I have taken my music back to the forests… If you have need for suitable music for your projects, I would be more than willing to donate mine.

  2. This whole website resonates so closely with what I felt in my heart a few months ago, when I traveled to Austria and stayed on a farm between the mountains and forests for a week. Just looking at the trees and smelling the fresh air energised me. Walking through the woods was a beautiful experience, and I felt like God himself was whispering in my ear “Welcome home” (even though I grew up in Namibia, Africa). Just one week of this gave me strength to change my life around completely – I’ve divorced an abusive husband, quit my job, am saving money and going to travel back to the forests next year! I know this is only the beginning of my healing (and I didn’t even know I needed healing until the trees smiled down on me and hugged me so tightly I felt my cracks heal). I truly believe there is something special about forests and trees, and I firmly believe in the power of nature to connect us to our inner being and heal anything that life throws at us. Thank you for this beautiful website and for sharing these beautiful stories.

    • Hi Sybille,
      I saw your post about your story to Austria, and was wondering if I could share it on my blog because i find it will touch people and possibly help them. It’s very relatable as well as along the lines of how I want to help people.
      It would be posted on my website : backtonaturejourneys.com.au Please let me know if this is ok with you.
      Thanks!

  3. I take photos of nature but designating a forest for healing is a good idea. I have been thinking of how I could slice a part of virgin forest and protect it from encroaching cities.
