– this is your best fuel to help you
solve all the problems of life
May 12, 2015
7. The Body:
• For maximum benefit your walking
should be in a forested area and not
interrupted by vehicles

that allows you to walk in the middle of
the road
–more that 75% of the time.

• Numerous studies around the world are exploring
the health benefits of spending time outside
– in nature, green spaces, and, specifically, forests
May 12, 2015
11. How Do Forests Make Us Healthier?
• Recognizing those
benefits, in 1982, the
Japanese Ministry of
Agriculture, Forestry
and Fisheries
–even coined a term
for it: shinrin-yoku
May 12, 2015
12. Shinrin-yoku - Forest Bathing
• This means taking in the
forest atmosphere or "forest
bathing"
–the ministry encourages
people to visit forests to
relieve stress and improve
health
• Research is showing how
spending time outdoors and
in forests makes us healthier
May 12, 2015
13. How Forests Boosts Our Immune System
• While we breathe in the fresh air, we
breathe in phytoncides,
–airborne chemicals that plants give off to
protect themselves from insects
May 12, 2015
14. How Forests Boosts Our Immune System
• Phytoncides have antibacterial and antifungal
qualities which help plants fight disease
• When people breathe in these chemicals,
– our bodies respond by increasing the number and
activity of a type of white blood cell called natural
killer cells or NK
May 12, 2015
15. How Forests Boosts Our Immune System
• These cells kill tumor- and
virus-infected cells in our
bodies.
• In one study, increased NK
activity from a 3-day, 2-night
forest bathing trip
– lasted for more than 30 days
• Japanese researchers are
currently exploring whether
exposure to forests
– can help prevent certain kinds
of cancer
May 12, 2015

17. Looking At Pictures Of Trees
• Has a similar but
less dramatic effect
• Studies examining
the same activities
in urban unplanted
areas
–showed no
reduction of stress-
related effects
May 12, 2015
18. Using the Profile of Mood States Test
• Researchers found that forest
bathing trips significantly decreased
the scores
– for anxiety, depression, anger,
confusion and fatigue.
• Stress inhibits the immune system,
– the stress-reduction benefits of
forests are further magnified.
May 12, 2015
19. Spending Time In Nature Helps You Focus
• Our lives are busier than
ever with jobs, school, and
family life
• Trying to focus on many
activities or even a single
thing for long periods of
time can mentally drain us,
–a phenomenon called
Directed Attention Fatigue
May 12, 2015
20. The Power of Nature
• looking at plants,
water, birds and
other aspects of
nature
–gives the cognitive
portion of our brain
a break,

better and renew our
ability to be patient

21. Patients recover from surgery faster and better
when they have a "green" view.
• Hospital patients may be stressed from a variety of factors,
including pain, fear, and disruption of normal routine.
• Research found that patients with "green" views
– had shorter postoperative stays,
– took fewer painkillers,
– had slightly fewer postsurgical complications
• Compared to those who had no view or a view of a cement
wall

32. Step 3 - The Mind:
• Engage in "Replay" and
"Cognitive ReOrientation"
May 12, 2015
33. Step 3 - The Mind:
• Let's examine “Replay" –
– Walk back through the various critical events that
got you to the present situation/position
• Stop the tape at various points
• Project the various different paths you
could have taken
– and how significantly they would have altered
the outcome.
May 12, 2015
34. Step 3 - The Mind:
• Now to "Cognitive ReOrientation”
– Using the event that you are faced with and
creating alternate outcomes that result in you
being the winner...your head, your story, you win.
– Create as many alternative outcomes as you can
possible imagine from this point going forward
May 12, 2015
35. Cognitive ReOrientation

• Act as if what you intend to manifest in life is
already a reality.

or the possibility of it not manifesting.
• If left undisturbed in your mind and in the
mind of intention simultaneously,
– it will germinate in the physical world.
– (Dr. Wayne Dwyer)
May 12, 2015

your body, “
–If I make this choice, what happens?”
• If your body sends a message of comfort,
that's the right choice.
• If your body sends a message of discomfort,
then it's not the appropriate choice.
