Author and Photographer Combine Talents to Introduce Readers to the World of Forest Bathing
SHREWSBURY, Mass. (PRWEB) January 07, 2019 -- Author Lisa Zschuschen has had many personal struggles with depression and anxiety. However, forest bathing has calmed her. Meanwhile, photographer Patricia Ahearn discovered all the health benefits of forest bathing during life's most difficult and tragic time — the loss of her granddaughter, Violet. Together, they invite readers to experience the power of nature through a virtual walk in the woods guided by inspirational writings and captivating photographs in “Forest Bathing: Living and Healing - A Photo Journal” (published by iUniverse).
In this photo journal, Zschuschen and Ahearn combine talents to introduce readers to the world of forest bathing, a Japanese-based concept that promises its followers relaxation, whole-body health benefits and a renewed sense of purpose, simply by walking in the woods, using all five senses.
In their own words, Zschuschen and Ahearn explain what forest bathing has meant for them, their family and their health and include commentary from residents, medical doctors and wellness professionals. Ahearn’s photographs display local natural beauty and highlight nature in its most pristine form.
“Forest Bathing: Living and Healing - A Photo Journal” aims for readers to find a new approach to getting outside. “We hope the photographs soothe and make people smile, inspire people to get exploring. We hope readers will share this relatively new concept with anyone that could benefit from it,” Zschuschen and Ahearn conclude.
