The article, If You Go Down to The Woods Today You Can Enjoy A Lift to Your Health, is showing up across the Twittersphere this morning. It’s a fantastic story about how local health professionals may soon prescribe a walk in the woods rather than a trip to the gym to uplift your spirits and clear your mind. The meeting, organised by Forestry Commission Wales, is being hailed as the first step towards creating a natural health service.
In an age where much of modern society has lost its connection to nature, stories like this remind us that the core of humanity is not lost. It might be buried somewhere within the concrete jungle, but it will emerge again and return to its roots.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing! If you are, as I am, born in the Chinese year of wood, then there might be even additional benefits of talking a walk in the woods! Spending time in the element you are born in is supposed to make you balanced etc, if I am not mistaken (I am no expert in this at all!).
