# Title: Forest Bathing: _Shinrin-yoku: Slowly basque in the forest to rejoin your soul with the speed of nature._ Forest bathing is the act of being in the forest and moving without purpose. Being present. A type of [[meditation]], moving at the speed of our ancestors. Forest bathing is being present in the forest, living at the speed of nature. It is good because it is a solo activity It is bad because it is a solo activity It is similar to [[Winter Hiking]] but it's different because it is without goals or purpose besides being present. A book given to me by [Erin Maki](https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/erin-maki-obituary?pid=196985672) - The ancient art of forest bathing.
