520    Shinrin Yoku or 'forest bathing' was developed in Japan in
       the 1980s and brings together ancient ways and wisdom with
       cutting edge environmental health science. There are now 
       forest bathing stations and walkways scattered throughout 
       Japan, although the good news is that we can all benefit 
       from this simple practice. Simply put, forest bathing is 
       the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no 
       hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a 
       practice that involves all the senses and as you gently 
       walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees 
       are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect
       on positive feelings, stress hormone levels, 
       parasympathetic nervous activity, sympathetic nervous 
       activity, blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity. 
       In this wonderful book, by the leading expert in the field,
       science meets nature and mindfulness, as we are encouraged
       to bathe in the trees and become observers of both the 
       nature around us and the goings on of our own mind
