The bestselling guide to forest bathing with a new section of hands-on forest bathing practices and space for journal entries and reflections.

It is a gentle, meditative approach to being with nature and an antidote to our nature-starved lives that can heal our relationship with the more-than-human world. In Your Guide to Forest Bathing, you'll discover a path that you can use to begin a practice of your own that includes specific activities presented by Amos Clifford, one of the world’s most experienced forest bathing experts. Whether you’re in a forest or woodland, public park, or just your own backyard, this book will be your personal guide as you explore the natural world in a way you may have never thought possible.

Book Description
How to safely de-tox from IT overload—with the healing effects of nature Scientific studies have shown that natural environments can have remarkable benefits for human health. Natural environments are more likely to promote positive emotions; and viewing and walking in nature have been associated with heightened physical and mental energy. Nature has also been found to have a positive impact on children who have been diagnosed with impulsivity, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorder. A powerful wake-up call for our tech-immersed society, Your Brain on Nature examines the fascinating effects that exposure to nature can have on the brain. In Your Brain on Nature, physician Eva Selhub and naturopath Alan Logan examine not only the effects of nature on the brain—but the ubiquitous influence of everyday technology on the brain, and how IT overload and its many distractions may even be changing it. Offering an antidote for the technology-addicted, the book outlines emerging nature-based therapies including ecotherapy, as well as practical strategies for improving your (and your children's) cognitive functioning, mental health, and physical well-being through ecotherapeutic, nutritional, and behavioural means. Details the back to nature movement and the benefits of nature on the brain and body, from reducing the symptoms of ADHD to improving mood and physical energy Explains the effects of air quality, aromas, light and sound on the brain, including SAD and sleep loss A fascinating look at the effects that both nature and technology have on the brain's functioning and one's overall well-being, Your Brain on Nature is every tech-addict's guide to restoring health and balance in an increasingly IT-dependent world.

Book Description
Reconnect with Your Body and Nature to Heal from Trauma As psychologist and mindfulness teacher Rochelle Calvert explores in this powerful book, one of the greatest sources of healing from trauma is all around us — nature. Dr. Calvert shows how to relate to and connect with nature through the practice of mindfulness to calm and relax the nervous system, tune in to the somatic wisdom of the body to face lingering trauma and rewire it, and work with painful experiences to transform them in ways that heal the individual and contribute to healing the wider world. Healing with Nature pioneers a path not just to recovery but to lifelong healing and resilience.

Advanced Praise: If everyone was required to read Cardone's Healing Power of Nature, the world would be a better and healthier place... and I think our health insurance costs would be a lot lower as well! Sal Randazzo, Retired Educator In this well-documented work, John P. Cardone underlines the important points that nature is a gift and that it can provide multifaceted benefits; physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. My 30 years of pastoring mirror Cardone's findings--in a world fraught with anxiety, one proven, yet underused therapy remains: the call of the great outdoors. Rev. Richard Allen, Pastor, Sayville United Methodist Church In an age wherein technology and pharmacology purport to be the "cure" for all human ills, Cardone's new Waterviews book reminds us that the Healing Power of Nature may be just what the doctor ordered. Cardone's graphic descriptions and scientific data serve as refreshing reminders that nature offers countless resources to soothe and sanctify. Richard C. Scheinberg, LCSW, BCD, Psychotherapist, Author, and Director of Sunrise Counseling Center, East Islip, NY In this well crafted tome, John P. Cardone captures the true essence of how we as human beings benefit from the natural world around us. John eloquently demonstrates how animals, plants, gardens and the natural landscape that we co-exist with are essential to our quality of life. Vinnie A. Simeone, Director, Planting Fields Arboretum Cardone knows first-hand the benefits of The Healing Power of Nature. His peaceful photos are not only beautiful, they capture the scents, light, shadows, sounds, textures, stillness and colors of nature. It is a beautiful, informative book... I feel better already.
