shinrin-yoku

shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” is a Japanese word referring to the activity of spending time in natural surroundings. It is a way of escaping the indoor life that is a reality for many people—a lifestyle concomitant with a constant onslaught of messages, a jungle of digital screens, and an overwhelming busyness that permits the mind no respite. The music takes the listener through this journey of shinrin-yoku, from the point of entering the forest and taking in its beauty to finding peace in a gentle meditative state.
