It hales from Japan where it is known as \u201cShinrin-yoku\u201d which literally means forest bath\u2026 but without the water!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">One of my favourite books at the moment is called <b><i>Into the Forest<\/i><\/b>: <b>How trees can help you find Health and Happiness. <\/b>By Dr Qing Li<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In this book, Dr Li describes forest-bathing to means &#8216;<b><i>bathing in the forest atmosphere or connecting with nature through all our senses\u2019<\/i><\/b>. In his native Japan, he shows us where you can go to connect with the world through forests. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Across the world, Forest Bathing is becoming popular. It is generally free, anyone can participate, you just need a forest or at least some trees, and it is good, a clean wholesome boost for the soul!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5466 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4992-e1584443178276-768x1024.jpg?resize=700%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4992-e1584443178276.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4992-e1584443178276.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4992-e1584443178276.jpg?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_I_am_a_tree_hugger\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Why I am a tree hugger!<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It may be the little Wren in me, but I have always had serious tree-hugging tendencies. I just adore all trees. In fact, reflecting on all my favourite homes across the years, they all had one thing in common, a garden where I could hear the little birds sing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">These gardens were special because of the trees. We had horse chestnut trees in England\u2019s green and pleasant land. These majestic trees produced huge shiny conkers of treasure. Each autumn as a young child, I would unwrap these precious nuts, hidden inside prickly green shells. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">We would play a game of conkers. A champion emerged with the strongest conker as the tree leaves turned golden and fell from the trees. Without knowing it, I had my first forest bathing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5470\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5470\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5470 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_6396.jpg?resize=640%2C453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_6396.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_6396.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little Tree Garden Cafe<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In Melbourne, Australia we have elegant silver birch trees which grace the front garden of our Aussie home. These trees are a safe haven for the raucous rainbow lorikeets and ring-tailed possums who take up residence in our suburban tree-lined street.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Here in Thailand, I work hard at feeling less removed from nature. I even have a rescued tree in a pot in my current Bangkok condo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Readers of my Little Wandering Wren blog will remember the joy of moving this tree from my much loved (now sadly knocked down sob, sob) Embassy Place Apartment, to its current Sukhumvit home. My tree high above, on the thirtieth-floor balcony, makes me happy each day, and ecstatic when I was joined by a pair of nesting noisy sunbirds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Bless, their amazing endeavours building a home at such dizzy heights.
