Description
"And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." ~ John Muir
Forest bathing is something I have always done for peace of mind but we never called it that in the past; it was just spending some quiet time in the woods. It involves just sitting, walking slowly and really getting into the experience, noticing the little things, such as mushrooms, moss and fungi, immersion in the woods. So relaxing!

This is my first attempt at negative watercolor painting. Hope to try more, but I liked the soothing experience of trying this, forgetting about everything else, almost like forest bathing. :)

Oh I love this and one of my favourite quotes too. I agree with your description too - being in nature is the best way of finding peace.

I am not familiar with the term forest bathing but just looking at these trees brings a sense of quiet and stillness to my heart.

It's somewhat of a new trendy term for enjoying sitting in the forest or slowly looking around with no plan or purpose than just relaxing. Ther term was new to me until recently.
