Forest Bathing: What it is & Where to do it?
The secret to mindful travel? A walk in the woods Whether you call it a fitness trend or a mindfulness practice (or a bit of both), what exactly is forest bathing? The term emerged in Japan in the 1980s as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”). The purpose was twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to inspire residents to reconnect with and protect the country’s forests.

The Messenger
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. The reason I can attest to this celestial display is due to my unrelenting insomnia, and tonight is evening thirteen of my daily jaunt outside. Breathing in the damp October air seemed to be the only sleep aid that worked. That, along with an occasional edible, but I could do without the crazy-ass dreams from ingesting weed. Since turning twenty-seven last year, sleep evades me, like every hot girl I'd even thought about trying to bang. I feel and undoubtedly look like a soulless zombie.
