The Healing Forest

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.

Healing In Nature

However, in the current times we live in a box, drive in a box, and even work-play-connect using a box. As a result, lifestyle ailments as well as loneliness are increasing rapidly, affecting many around the world. Living in the age of addictive technology it has become even more important for us to keep our brain healthy and learn how to protect our mind from anxiety, stress, addiction, and depression.

Fortunately, the remedies are easily available to those who know. Join us as we take you on a fascinating journey to unravel nature’s healing secrets.

Let’s see what nature can do for you and those who matter to 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.

Nature’s Surprising Gifts

As humans, we have evolved in nature. It’s what makes us feel complete. Multiple research on nature’s healing powers have shown a wide variety of benefits for our physical, mental, and social health. It provides an easy and effective way for avoiding stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, as well as reducing their ill-effects. Connecting with nature boosts our body’s immunity, energy levels, and healing ability. It can improve our mood, sleep, memory as well as focus. Nature connection also has a healthy influence on our emotional well-being and relationship skills.

Calm for your mind, body, life.

So how do we transform our connection with nature in a way that transforms us? How can we start sowing peace, happiness, and health in the world around us?

  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.
