Fall Equinox Forest Bathing Experience: Guided Nature Meditation Practice

·17 min·1 clip

Happy Fall Equinox. A time when light and dark are equal and the sun lingers in balance.

Meryl Arnett and certified forest bathing guide Eve Payer lead a guided meditation on the Fall Equinox focused on forest bathing (shinrin-yoku). The episode explores the Japanese origins of the practice from 1982, scientific research showing stress/blood pressure/cortisol reduction, immune system benefits from tree phytonicides, and the cultural philosophy of reciprocity with the natural world. A meditative forest experience with ambient soundscapes helps listeners connect to nature.
