Forest Bathing - Essence of Joy and Happiness

As an amateur Bird Photographer very often I have to walk in the forests following the trails. My goal is to capture candid bird photos. It’s my passion to freeze various bird moments with my camera and lens. Sometimes I become motionless to get camouflaged from birds. After walking a lot in the forest and get tired, take rest beside forest trail and feel the real forest vibe.

Forest Bathing

Just imagine- you lied on ground, kept your backpack under your head, the sunlight dropped on your face filtered through green leaves. The small birds are chirping and moving restlessly on the tree branches over your head. The gentle breeze sounds coming from the leaves. A narrow water stream flowing very close to you. The flowing waters sound coming to your ear and stimulating your nerves. All these are the components of Forest Bathing. Forest bathing done with your vital five sensory organs.

Bird Chirping

  • The Ears- Bird singing sound and breeze sound resulting from the tree leaves enter into the ear and stimulate brain.
  • The Eyes- Different shades of green and the sunray filtered through the green leaves give your eye soothing and calmness.

  • The Nose- Smell the fragrance of raw forest and receive a natural aromatherapy of phytoncides (antimicrobial chemical derived from plant).

  • The Mouth- Taste the freshness of air in forest with taking deep breaths.

  • The Skin- Just place your hand on a tree trunk, dip your toes in stream water feel the forest love and affection with your bare skin.

Lie down on the ground. Drink the flavor of the forest and release the sense of joy and calm. This is the sixth sense, your state of mind.  

Go for a Forest Bathing.

Be Happy.

Hitting the Gym after Office — My Real-life Experience

Image
Recently I've transferred to my new posting in a big metropolitan city. I am doing my 10/6 teaching cum coordinating job at a training institute of banking sector. Most of the time I make class schedule and class lecture sitting on my desk. More or less the whole day I have to keep my eyes on my workstation screen. Working with files, send invitation letters, coordination and communication with guest speakers. Tiny pink sticky notes take my attention to do the important jobs next. Thus a  hectic day passed  with  work load on wooden chair of my office. The outdoor weather or sky color invisible to me due to heavy curtain of my office room. Even I can’t hear the sound of rain.  At the end of the day it makes me totally exhausted and deadly tired. Most of the day evening passes away and night begins already. So I failed to see the sunlight after office. This daily routine made me unhappy, mind become dull and down. Unable to find stamina for next day office.  Such...

Since last year, I’ve been forgetting things more often in my daily life

Image
It was mid day of July, I was working on my office desk. Suddenly my cell phone 'beep-beep', my wife on other side. She told me to bring some daily needs from nearby grocery shop after office. When I reached home and give the grocery pack to her it was found that I missed two necessary items. She got little bit angry. Now a days I fail to recall the name of my school and college buddies frequently. This is not happening from many more years but since about last year only. I was little bit worried about my memory.   Today morning when I opened my workstation at my workplace an MSN article displayed on my screen from PC's task bar,  Your brain starts shrinking after 40: here's what to do. After go through the article a silent smile bloomed on my face.  Last year I completed my 40th year station of my life journey. All secretes and consequences are stand behind the number. Since Last year my eye specialist suggested me to use reading glass at the time to read. For this ...
