Jacqueline's notes
The Green Gym
It is Chelsea Flower Show this week and the theme is how plants can make you feel healthier and improve people's lives through design. Gardens are the perfect haven to escape from the stresses of everyday life.
The Japanese are familiar with immersing themselves in green by going 'forest bathing' or 'shinrin-yoku' which involves going out into the woodlands and letting go of stress. Apparently essential oils in woods and plants, that they emit to protect themselves, can have a beneficial effect on our immune systems. According to research the stress hormone, cortisol is lowered after a half hour forest visit.
Learning how to breathe effectively can further help to reduce stress. These effective breathing techniques do need practice just like a physical skill. This could eventually lead to a calmer breathing that you can draw upon in times of stress. Exercising in this 'Green Gym' could include some resistance work' push ups on a tree trunk, squats or even pushing that lawnmower!..........so enjoy the benefits that plants and great design have to offer and listen to the attached podcast where I talk about the benefits of gardening.
