About Forest Therapy India.

Forest Therapy India's approach to Shinrin Yoku is - A combination of therapeutic leisurely walks on gentle paths under forest canopy with guided activities to help you open your senses, A guide to hone your intuition, and experience the forest as you never have before. We draw upon awakening our senses with mindfulness meditation practices, and Qi Gong meditation along with Deep Breathing exercises. We also use group sharing at several points along the walk, which helps participants learn from and teach other as we discuss what we are experiencing together.

We have always known this intuitively. But in the past several decades there have been many scientific studies that are demonstrating the mechanisms behind the healing effects of simply being in wild and natural areas. For example, many trees give off organic compounds that support our “NK” (natural killer) cells that are part of our immune system's way of fighting cancer.

Morning in The Hills

The distant call of the morning bird carried along by the mountain breeze, As it rustled the boughs of the mighty oak & gently tickled my nape, having played truant with my tresses Instinctively I closed my eyes, soothed by its caress The first rays of the morning sun warmed my soul My fatigued toes cushioned by the cool moist earth. My senses were rejuvenated my spirit ready to soar.
