DAY 4 - VICTORIA, BC CANADA
SHINRIN YOKU - is a Japanese term that literally mean "FOREST BATHING" and we had the opportunity of experiencing this blissful "tree therapy" on our fourth day in Victoria, BC. We stepped in to the forest completely clueless that day...but boy were we pleasantly surprised!!
Thanks to our awesome guide John Fraser of Elemental Magick, we had such a spiritually uplifting and mindful experience taking in all the sights and sounds of the forest. This activity is highly therapeutic and healing on so many different levels. You need to experience it to actually feel it and trust me, it leaves you so deeply rooted and connected to Mother Earth.
If you have not gone out forest bathing yet then my friend, I highly recommend you get in touch with John the next time you are in Victoria.
After spending a blissful afternoon in the forest, Saurabh and I hit the Blue Crab Seafood House for a scrumptious dinner!!! If you're a foodie and especially a seafood lover, then you gotta check out this vlog to see all the yummy stuff we had at Blue Crab Seafood House.
Hope you all enjoy this vlog.
Drop me a line below and let me know if you've ever gone forest bathing before? I'd like to how how the experience was for you.
Time to sign off now!! Thanks for coming by!!
