Shinrin-yoku meditation 3: Forest immersion

Be immersed in the forest in this Shinrin-yoku meditation with Mayu. Discover the birds in the trees, feel the leaves beneath your feet, and walk away with a sense of calm. You can either sit or lie down on your bed, couch, or floor.

This episode of the Great Minds podcast delves into the Japanese tradition of shinrin-yoku, or 'forest bathing', which encourages participants to engage with nature using all five senses.

Forest bathing, contrary to its name, does not involve immersing oneself in water. Instead, it asks that participants bask in their natural surroundings.

Listen to guided shinrin-yoku walks with Mayu of Forest Minds by following Great Minds in Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or the SBS Radio app.
